Hanging Out at Home

Yesterday’s lifestyle photoshoot was at my client’s home.
Most of it was capturing what naturally occurs in their home that the shoot almost felt like my exclusive “A Day In The Life” shoot, where I follow someone around for most of the day.
Getting Ready
The kids clothes were laid out on the table for me, so I [...]

Extended Family Fun

Photoshoots of large groups flow a little differently than a smaller lifestyle shoot, such as a shoot of one family or a couple, because we need to actually have a plan as opposed to letting every minute be au naturale.  Yesterday afternoon’s shoot had a good balance because we knew we wanted some semi-posed shots [...]

If I Could Talk

To celebrate little Ava’s 4 month birthday this week, I thought I’d have the first (and hopefully, the only) installment of “If I Could Talk”!  (Courtesy of Delirium due to prolonged sleep-deprivation)

Hey, Soul Sister

The first time I heard the Train hit, “Hey Soul Sister”, I thought of Myra.  Even now that I know the song is a love story, the recurring words “soul sister” and the peppy beat that always makes me shake my hips undeniably makes me think of my soul twin.

It was recently Myra’s birthday, so [...]

This Week’s Inspiration: Feet

Whether your creative outlet is painting murals, writing novels, singing ballads, citing poetry, sketching still-life, or dancing on your dining table, we all need some inspiration from time to time.

Camryn & Grant

Camryn and Grant’s mom asked me to “capture the youth and beauty of the children in an outdoor setting where they are most comfortable, relaxed and have the most fun!”  So well put!  And so easy to do because the kids were so fun-loving and comfortable with me, despite Stephanie’s “warning” and offer of “good [...]
