...and Baby Makes 3 / Livingston County Maternity Photography

I got to do a maternity shoot the other day... I will admit to being a little nervous since I've never done one before but I got really lucky- my people were so great to work with... even when I said that we'll try a few things and then wing it.  

 

 

 

 

Since I didn't have any experience in maternity I asked Katie if she minded that I post some  these to use in my portfolio- she shyly agreed.  Thank you Katie- you look fantastic!  I'll be thinking of you guys these next couple of weeks as you wait for your bundle to arrive.

Geesh....

it's been a while.

 

Today's Quick Picks

 I had a session today... YAY- I looked forward to it all week long.... she was such a little dolly.. and had lots and lots of patients for  the monkey business we put her through. 

When Den saw these pictures he asked if we saw this baby last week....  I said nope, it was her cousin that we took photos of a couple of weeks ago. 

Anyway.... I quickly glanced at the photos and these few jumped out at me

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

Thanks for coming to see me, guys... Have a great weekend, everyone.

 

The Egg Tree...

We didn't do much over Spring Break besides pass the sick bucket around but... we did get our egg tree made.  Pete had to a project for school a couple of weeks ago to sell something for less than a quarter and make a profit from it...  he ended making some decorative eggs by blowning out the eggs, and using string, some scrapbook materials and modge podge- we grabbed a branch from the backyard, a cup and he had an egg tree for a display.

 

Since then, Elizabeth has been wanting to make some of those eggs herself so.... we had lots of eggs for dinner this month.  She blew out a crazy amount of eggs and we pulled out some more stuff from my scrapbook stash.. We dyed, stickered, glittered,  glued, modge podged and slopped until 7 jars of glitter were sprinkled lovingly on the floor.... and our egg tree was done... just in time to pass the bucket on to the next person....  I know, gross.    

A Bit Of My Real Life...

I do love Spring- even if it acts like Winter sometimes.....so does he.

A Mini Session Sample

I did my mini sessions this weekend at the Scrapbook Zone....  mini sessions are a lot different than regular sessions that's for sure -they go by so fast!  I think they went well though and I will probably do them again. I finished proofing this set on the weekend but I haven't looked at the others yet. 

   

 

 

 

Happy Monday everyone.... I've got to go now and pick up the trail of snow clothes leading from the storage area to the front door. 

   

This is fun- Livingston County Area Photographer, Baby

Seriously, how can you not smile at this expression. It kind of just makes my day everytime I look at her.  These are from a session that I had yesterday, isn't she a dolly!  A speedy little dolly who can crawl almost faster than I can get my camera back up to my eye.... but we got her... sigh... this is so fun. 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

.... and because I can't do do two posts in a row without tossing in a black and white...  

  

On a techincal note... all of the white backgrounds I used one light to the left of the camera and one light shining onto the right of the backdrop...  this way the backdrop doesn't become gray.  All of the color backdrops I used two lights in front.. a main on the left and a fill on the right.  ISO 160, f8, ss1/50, 85mm on all of them.

Just as a reminder- tomorrow are the Spring Mini Sessions at the Scrapbook Zone... there is still room if you want to sign up for a session.  Have a  great weekend! 

Big Hair and Blue Eyes- Livingston County Children's Photographer

When this little guy's mom came into my house and took his hat off- I almost squealed with delight.  Check out his hair... don't you just love it! His eyes almost look fake they're so blue... sigh... if I didn't love teens and weddings so much- I think that I would photograph babies full time.  LOL...
