Favorite Compositions

While working on the C. Family’s gallery, I kept falling in love with these two images whenever I saw them, so I wanted to share with y’all…
Intimate Moment with Baby
What I love about this image is not only that Baby Evan is looking directly into Dad’s eyes, but that you see Evan’s face and only [...]

Vote: Sharp, Hazy or Grainy BxW?

I took some shots of these darling animals this past week.  Can you tell what kind of animal it is?
It’s probably just me because I’m more of a City Girl, but I don’t think I would know if I just saw the photos!
And just for fun, I shot these photos differently, and then edited them [...]

Happy Halloween

In lieu of the upcoming holiday, I’d like to share some personal photos.
Hey, Halloween is a major holiday to kids!  Oh, and to candy manufacturers!

Urban Photoshoot: Chinatown

Yesterday’s photoshoot was planned for the morning, then moved to the afternoon due to the Nike marathon, and then turned into an early evening shoot, which ended around 6pm!
The light at 5:30pm is different in the city than it is in the suburbs.  With all the city buildings, the golden sunset is often blocked.  There [...]

I am in Love

Today I had a photoshoot with The M Brothers!
You met Ryan (8 1/2 years old) from last Sunday’s model shoot.  This morning was a lifestyle shoot that focused on Ryan’s brother, Ian (3 years old), and Ryan and Ian together!
It was great that I had just shot Ryan 6 days ago because the moment we [...]

Preteen Model Ryan

This handsome little man is Ryan.  Ryan is 8 1/2 years old.  And he is a model.
Today we updated his model portfolio since he has changed so much since last year’s shots.
He had many outfit changes to show his range and ability to model different styles.  Poor Ryan… it was only 50 degrees out today!
Here [...]

Colby Turns 3

I met this little cutie last year for his 2 Year photos!  And look at him now!  He is 3 years old and as handsome as ever.

Colby seemed to enjoy our time together.  He got to play with his toys, eat ice cream, climb up and down stairs, feed ducks, ride the elevator, play on [...]

Storyboard Preview – Jenny M.

This is a storyboard preview for Jenny M.
I love the photos Jenny chose for her storyboard.  Just three photos displayed together can tell the story of how much love and fun exist in a family!

Notes:
* I put Kanoa on the left because of the direction he is facing.  And it matches well with the [...]

Paul Frank Girls

At yesterday’s photoshoot, Allison (13 months old) and Michelle (5 years old) enjoyed playing at the park even though it dipped into the 50s!  And boy, was it windy!
The girls were such troopers and had to change their clothes part-way through their shoot to put on jeans and their matching Paul Frank sweatshirts.  (I love [...]

Brenden Part Two – Textures

For those of you who follow my blog, you know that I am starting to play with textures.  This is Day 2 of Texture Fun!
So I loved the texture I put on Ria’s photo, but do textures work well with babies?  Let’s investigate…

Mommy In The Mirror

So far, I think the textures work for the [...]

Well-Rested New Parents, An Oxymoron?

Stylin’ in his designer duds and Paul Frank Bugaboo, 11-day old Brenden eats well, cries quietly and only when he’s hungry, and sleeps a straight 4+ hours at night, leaving his parents, Soon and Christine, looking fresh and well-rested for today’s photoshoot!
I was in amazement, can you tell?  Now if only every parent had that [...]

Tis the season…

…to deck your halls with photographic artwork.
I was trying to be creative with the title, but it comes across more like a shameless plug!
One of my dear clients ordered a 10×20 storyboard from her last year’s photoshoot.  With each storyboard creation, clients get to preview the design before I send it to the lab for [...]
