I had the opportunity to do a photo shoot this week, despite the fact that I don’t usually do that anymore. It was a nice change of scenery. The nature park and botanical gardens where I’ve taken so many pictures before was more vibrant and alive and colorful than ever. Or it least it…
One Family Photo #PSF
Back in the spring of 2008, I asked my sister (who was over at our house at the time) to take a picture of my family in front of our house. Even though my sister is an incredible photographer, the point was not to get the “perfect” family photo, but just to capture all…
A Lone Fall Photo Shoot #PSF – Give Me Your Best Shot
Last fall, I swore off professional photography and officially closed the doors of my photography business. My blog had become busy enough, and frankly I was making more money for my time through my blog than I was for my photography. I just couldn’t do them both well at the same time. I think…
Best Friends Mini Photo Shoot #PSF {Give Me Your Best Shot}
My oldest daughter, KitKat joined me at one of my photo shoots last weekend as the official Pinterest-watcher and stylist for her best friend’s senior pictures. Even though K was not prepared for pictures (with no make up and just a t-shirt and jeans – but she looks gorgeous all the time anyway!) we…
Engagement Photos (No, not mine) {PSF – Give Me Your Best Shot}
This week, I finally had the chance to actually use my camera for something other than so-so pictures of food. I know! It’s shocking. I have been looking forward to this particular photo shoot for ages (or at least since this summer, when the engagement was announced). Kat is not only someone I consider…
Photo Shoot Reality #WW
As I finished my first of two photo shoots on Saturday, I chatted with the mom of these three adorable girls. I’ve been taking pictures of these 3 sisters since the twins were teeny – I love watching repeat clients grow up! – and it’s the same every time. The girls are active as…
Newborn Baby Girl: Pink Toes and Hair Bows #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
I love taking pictures. I think anyone who reads my blog regularly knows that. I don’t claim to be a great photographer, though I do like some of the pictures I take and I do know my way around a camera. But it all comes back to the fact that I love taking pictures….
Photo Shoot Frenzy! Wordless Wednesday
I’ve had three photo shoots in the last week…so you can guess what I’ve been doing with most of my time. Editing! The three families pictured in these collages are long-time clients of mine. I’ve done engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn, and bigger kid shots with all of them, and I love to see them grow…
