Sheryl decided to celebrate her birthday in a rather unusual and inspiring way this year, and she invited me along to capture the action.
Back to catching up on blogging my sessions. In this episode: sisters!
Last summer I had the pleasure of aiming my camera in several directions at once for an hour trying to catch these two holding still. Actually, it wasn’t as challenging as that sounded. They had a bit of trouble warming up to the camera, then suddenly they both wanted their picture taken *right now*! Fun! I couldn’t share them earlier because their mini-session was purchased as a Christmas gift for a friend.
I had a great time photographing this lovely senior, Leah. We spent a fun couple of hours wandering around finding fun places for portraits. She has a great eye for settings and knows just how to work the camera for the best shot. Here are a few of my favorites from our time together.
It was a gorgeous sunny day when I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with Carrie and her mom, Julie. We walked along the Bluffs overhang and spent some time downtown to find interesting places for her senior portraits. As a result, we got a wide variety of fun shots. I have been having a great time editing and am finally ready to share some of my favorites.
I had the great pleasure and good fortune of photographing one of our area’s most talented teens not long ago. She is a multi-faceted musician and plays drums, guitar, keyboards, and sings backup in the Portland School of Rock. She also has a great personality and is hoping to pick up some acting jobs soon. These images are for use in her head-shots portfolio. I am still trying to find words to explain how awesome it is to take over 150 frames and find that nearly every one is a winner. Here are just a few of my favorites so far.
Friday night was the final Carnival at my youngest son’s elementary school. The school will be closing its doors at the end of this year due to budget restrictions. The planning committee really pulled out all the stops with the event. There was a petting zoo, a real midway with tents for games, cotton candy, a clown making balloon animals, and all sorts of prizes for the kids to choose from. Better still, all the games were free for the kids to play. Cotton candy was $1.00 and a hot dog dinner was $3.00. The weather was amazing so kids and volunteers alike had a great time.
Hi there, remember me? I know it’s been too long. Between the increased hours at my day job (for which I’m grateful) and the kids’ end-of-the-year activities at the schools, my life has been quite busy lately. I’m not complaining, but it makes it harder to keep up on the blogging.
I had the privilege of taking pre-prom portraits of my neighbor’s daughter Ruby, and her friend Charis a short while back. Happily, they love them and have granted me permission to share a few of my favorites here.
With no further ado, may I present the results of Baby P’s first portrait session. Her mom has amazing windows in the front room and we had the advantage of simply wonderful natural light. A space heater kept things warm enough that there were no protests against being in her birthday suit. She wasn’t sleepy at all, so we got some amazing portraits with eyes wide open.
I was fortunate enough to be invited in to visit the new parents at the hospital to photograph their new baby girl just hours after she arrived. We have an in-home session on the books soon so stay tuned for more portraits of this adorable little girl and her beautiful family.
