My Parents

This month my parents asked me to take photos of them for a Christmas gift. Let me just say, we've never really done photos together before and I enjoyed how surprised they were that I was so "professional". 

Of course I love my parents, and I love how funny they are. In my opinion, the more you know people the better the session is. You can really capture who they really are. I love getting to know my clients as we take photos, as I think it really enhances the overall product. 

So these are my wonderful parents! My dad is also into photography, and helped me when I first started photography (I started on film only, and loved it. If you've developed your own photos, you'll never forget that wonderful smell of a darkroom). My dad also taught me to be a business woman, and gave me my first (and second) photoshop program. My mom is creative and artsy and always encouraged me to think outside the box and craft all the time! They helped me buy my very first digital camera back in elementary school, a little canon point and shoot.

Baby J

Baby J was welcomed into our studio this winter, and what a doll she is! We loved capturing her with specifically "no pink" per her daddy's request!   

Zavier- 1 year

This weekend was the last of Zavier's photos for his first year! I've been photographing this little guy every couple months since he was in his mommy's tummy....and it has been so fun to watch him grow! The basketball themed photo shoot this weekend was the perfect way to celebrate turning one year old! 

Tips for Better Cell Phone Photos

This is a post for all you moms out there that are looking for a few easy tricks to taking better photos of your little ones on your smartphone! As you may know, I don't have little humans running around our place, so I decided to use my favorite subjects...our too cats! Meet Lady Grey and Gallifrey!  Here are a few useful tips to learn to take better cell phone photos of your little ones!  Try different angles. Get down to their level, make them look all the way up at you. Try something new! You don't always need to just take a photo straight on!  Face them towards a light. If possible use natural light. Phones aren't great with backlighting, that is sitting a subject we're behind them is your primary light source. Photographers can shoot directly into the sun, phone's not so much. Try placing them towards a window or opening the front door.  (left photo with the light behind Lady Grey, right photo where she is looking at the window)  ...
