Kaylee

Last year I took a bit of a break from photographing weddings and portraits. I was a bit preoccupied with the birth of my daughter, Kaylee. I'll be starting back up again this year, but wanted to share some of our more favorite Kaylee moments. I have some other work I did do in 2011 and will update with those events shortly. I'm still playing a bit of catch up. Being a mother is definitely given me a run for my money. Now that Kaylee is getting a little older I can focus my attention(some of my attention) back on what I love, photography.

Rolling tummy to back at 2 months old. Now we can't get her to stop. It's her mode of transportation. That and crawling backwards.



I wanted to do something with one of Kaylee's toys, Twilight Turtle. The shot isn't perfected but this is along the ideas of what I had in mind. I'll be tweaking this idea.

In this shot I really wanted to emphasize the colors on her shirt along side the color cast from the tungsten light. It reminds me of something you would see out of the 70's.

Love the look on her face.



We call this her Chris Farley look. :P

Someone has their toes!

Portraits for my parents

I was recently commissioned by my father to do some portraits of him and my mother for Mother's day. For family, I always feel like I have to one up myself. They see my work all the time and I want them to feel, like any of my clients, that they are getting something special. The unfortunate part was that I have to do these portraits with out my mom thinking they were for Mothers day and I had three days to put them together. Wonderful. On top of that I've been feeling a bit under the weather.





My parents really brought it to the table this last Friday and despite my sluggish mood, we got some great photos. I love the interaction between the two of them. I think my mom likes to hide her nervousness in laughter ~Wonder where I get it from ;)
