Congrats Heather!

Its that time of year when the cap and gown adorn the heads of many 18yr olds, and celebrating your cross over from your youth to adulthood is captured in a photograph.

Let me introduce you to Heather, a beautiful girl  who I've watched grown into this wonderful young lady over the years.Our shoot was done along the Ohio River with many stunning backdrops, which included the cabin of George Rogers Clark and the riverfront in Jeffersonville, In. Shortly after we arrived at the cabin, we quickly learned that several large buses would be unloading tons of tiny tots for a field trip. I knew right then Heather and I would have to work quickly to accomplish our goal of using the cabin without the "peek-a-boos" from little girls peering in my lens. So, I led her into a whirl of stand here and sit there and whizzed her around the cabin and we captured some awesome shots! After our little adventure shoot we decided to do some stuff in Kentucky, and headed over to Central Park. This is a perfect scenic backdrop and its frequently requested by alot of my seniors. My day with Heather so smooth as silk, she is a perfect lady and shooting her was so easy. She followed direction so well, and allowed me to create some wonderful photographs.

My recreations

Thought I would share something I enjoy doing for fun. I love to take favorite photos of everyday stuff and turn them into pieces I treasure by transforming them into works of art. I will show you the original photo and then what I turned it into after some time of playing around with it. This is something I really enjoy doing. I hope you appreciate it as well.

The first photo is of my two great-nieces. Jennie and Nicole. They are two adorable lil girls who have the sweetest spirits. Its always fun watching what children will do when you point the camera at them. These two decided to engage in a hug. Just goes to show how perfectly loving they are.

After

The next photograph was taken at a friends Halloween party. This lil lady is soo precious. Her name is Bella. She was intrigued by a butterfly that was part of my costume and how could I deny her when she asked if she could have my butterfly. After I attached the butterfly to her finger, she began to dance it through the air with grace just as a real butterfly would do. I grabbed my camera and captured the photo. It blurred a bit and was frustrated because I knew it would be such a cute photo. Then I played around with it and created a photo that would soon adorn my walls. She is a beautiful child and I was happy that I could turn such a sweet moment her and I shared into something I can now cherish and remember each time I look at the photo.

This just goes to show how I can take a photo that appears to be something ok and turn it into something spectacular. I love doing this stuff..its so much fun! Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

CJ & Dad

From Cameron's(CJ) session we have two beautiful photographs to share. We got to capture him with dad.

This baby is a "HAM"...he does not know how to take a bad photograph. I just hope that he always stay this way.

tearful one

During my last photo session, I was photographing Lil Rickie. Lil Rick as we called him was cutting teeth unfortunately and most of the photos we shot was of him crying. We did manage to get some beautiful photos of him while happy for a few moments and even the tearful photos are adorable...I'm just sure he didn't appreciate me snapping away while he was in pain. I dont usually make a habit of photographing babies while they hurting but as I reminded dad, event the tearful photographs will pull at the heartstrings when Lil Rickie isnt so lil anymore.

After I pulled out the blocks he stopped crying and begin to play. He was just hurting and needed something to take his mind off his tooth.
I'm sure that tooth will be a great addition to a beautiful smile!
























I felt so bad for him but I knew dad worked nights and long hours so I worked with this little man until we got him happy.

Like I said soon after I pulled the blocks out he was distracted and ready to play

 

I was happy that we got such great photos. I'm sorry Lil Rick you felt so bad..we hope you are feeling better and come back soon with that beautiful sweet smile!

Kriss's Rolling Karma

Kriss and Elijah..aka Eli came over on Sunday afternoon for Kriss's photo shoot. We had no idea how much Eli wanted his photo taken until we got him started..hehe. Once I snapped a few of this lil pooch he was a supa star. He loved having his photo taken and Kriss's shoot turned into a family matter. She loves this lil guys so much and he was a perfect gentleman.
Kriss is such a wonderful and fun person to be around. She has a great outlook on life and is very sweet and loyal friend.

Miss Olivia

Miss Olivia Catherine born Feb.13th just one day shy of Valentines Day is still a sweetheart! This was my first newborn shoot and I have to say it was awesome. We took our time as babies dont always want to cooperate and stay in a pose. I just let Olivia decide our pace and what photos we would go with. She was awake for most of the shoot and I was really surprised how she did NOT want to keep her clothes off. She would get fussy and once wrapped up and swaddled again, she was absolutely fine and wide eyed and happy. 

This hat my daughter made just for Miss Olivia. Its so cute! 

We look forward to capturing Miss Olivia growing up into a beautiful young lady

 

Little man

Cameron is his name and charming is his game..hehe. This lil man is amazingly charming with his smile and hypnotizing eyes. The lights would just explode inside those blue eyes and melt your heart. He was so much fun to work with and made my job so easy. I wish all shoots with babies could go this easy..hehe
