Baby Baby



Make no mistake about why these babies are here - they are here to replace us.
Jerry Seinfeld

I love photographing children and babies! Lately I have done lots of big people ( I like that very much too!) and photographing this little cutie took me back to my beginning.

Babies are definitely a force to be reckoned with! She was a real trooper, she let mom change her clothes a couple times, she let me hold her in between takes and she only cried at the very end. Even that we can't blame on her, there was a cold, oversized tea cup involved :)

Props to props


This past week has been a lot of fun. These 2 cuties provided energy and entertainment! I have never been a huge fan of props, I am afraid of "loosing" the real subject of the photo. These shoot were tons of fun. We used face paint, hats dress-ups and whole box of other fun things. The kids loved it, I loved it and I certainly hope that anyone who views it enjoys as well.

I am super excited to open my own horizons and get more creative with my work. I want to make people happy, I want my work to be in people's homes and special part of their lives. Wish me luck!

Thank Goodness for Crafty Friends!



Today I am super thankful for my friend Emily! She is my crafty superhero! I have been absolutely dying to make several things to use as photo props, but not only do I not have the time to do so....I also lack the know how. What I DO know how to do is pick up the phone and call on Emily! haha

Today we spent 2 hours making this tutu together. It was not terribly difficult just a lot of fine details and TONS of cutting. I am not a fan of tule by the way, its very cute but terribly static loaded and a major pain to cut. I will say that I am pleased with the outcome and Korah was double excited to be the first (well, second really, Evelyn had the first try..shhh) to give it a twirl or two! My next crafty adventure. . . a pettiskirt. Crazy I know but as long as I have such smart friends and family to help me along the way, why not?

Also incase you hadn't figured already the pictures are of my little boy (since I left him out last time) and of the infamous tutu.

Bloggin


OK, so this is my very first Blogging experience!

A recent client suggested I do this to help gain future clientele so I thought it was worth a shot.The Picture here is of my daughter, but I also have a son. (They are 4 and 2 for anyone interested)

Right now the weather is terribly rainy and the ground is going to be muddy for many days to come. I am excited for sunny nice weather as my favorite places to use as a backdrop are outdoors. Right now my equipment is all mobile, being versatile has been an asset for many of my clients.

Anyway, this is me, this is what I love and thanks for stopping by! :)
