The P Family

This wonderful family was together on Saturday before they all headed out on vacation. So glad I could  photograph you guys!

 Thanks Pete, Shelby, Lindsey, and Ben (and Tristan)! Enjoy!

Little Miss R is Nine Months!

This cutie is so much fun to photograph! I've had the privilege to photograph her every three months as she's grown... its so much fun to watch her change!

We did a few in her nursery... so fun! I love this last one! I have it with and without her mom's arm, but I just love it with!

Thanks Sarah, Jim, and Miss R! Enjoy!

Thoughts

A few weeks ago, my mom asked me a question. It took me by surprise and I have to say I've thought about it quite a bit.

"What inspires you?"

Why do you do what you do? What makes it worth it? What makes your creativity "tick"? When you have a stack of paperwork in front of you, what keeps you from throwing the towel in?

This is it. This image pretty much sums it up.

A wiggly nine month old full of smiles sitting on a quilt in her back yard. Laughing behind the camera when she pulls off the headband. Again. Reading Facebook statuses from my clients after they've looked at their portraits. "I love them all! You make it so hard to choose!"

I could go all technical and say: 1. amazing backlight at 1/400, f/4, and ISO100, 2. nail the focus, 3. crazy bokeh/ depth of field, 4. with orbs of confusion (yes that is the technical term, no lie) 5. a slight breeze would be nice, and finally 6. a cute subject.

But now I've lost you. :)

Come back!

To sum it up, I've got my mojo back. Thanks Little Miss R.

Inspiration is important. What inspires you?

And, because who can resist bubbles: here is another look at today's session.

Mr C is Three!

It is so fun to watch the kids I photograph grow! I had the privilege of photographing Mr C last year on his second birthday, and now for his third! He is such a wonderful little boy. And next week I get to photograph his adorable little sister!

 Look at those eyes! Watch out girls!

Always a fun one... 

Thanks Sarah and Jim for driving up here for your session! I had so much fun!
