Snapshot of Your Photographer #3

I'm trying to make it a point to take more photos of the everyday. We are in our second year of marriage, and I love all the time we get to spend together. I hope it never changes, but I know it will. Someday our family will grow, things will get busier, will move to a new place and I want to take photos of the basics of everyday life this year. 


This was yesterday after work. Our boxes behind the couch are being packed up to take Christmas gifts to Kevin's family in Colorado. We were in the middle of watching a Christmas movie, which we do each night in December. This time it was one of those claymation movies...which in my opinion...there are way too many of those out there! 

This is our place, about 50% of our cozy 1 bedroom apartment is shown in this photo. The back is our work space where we take turns working on our computer, Kevin with his graphic design, and me with photo editing. 

Lady Grey is off hiding somewhere in this photo, but you can see the container on the shelf (the white box on the left upper portion of the shelf) which holds our fish, Hearsay. Hearsay is a balloon molly that is about 4 years old now, she is blue and purple polka dot and Lady Grey loves to be held up to the tank to watch her. 

So this is our place, and we love it!

Snapshot of Your Photographer

I love that so many of my clients come back to me time and time again for more photos, and its been so much fun getting to know so many of you. I'd like to share a little more about your photographer! I'm hoping to give you a snapshot into my life on a more regular basis, and use it to tell you more about myself! Here we go!  So here is where the photo processing magic happens. My husband is a graphic designer, and with my need for perfected photo editing we share the Mac when it comes to our work projects.  So this is our work place.  I'll use this photo to tell you a little more about ourselves.  1. We love our cat. We got Lady Grey about a year ago, she was a stray that the Humane Society picked up. We fell in love right when we saw her. It took a few days to name her, but because of our love of Twinning tea...we went with Lady Grey. She has such a strong personality, and so naughty! Our photography business and our etsy page is both named aft...

Photography 101

I love photography, and I love how accessible digital SLR cameras are now. So many families now have good cameras, but don't know how to use them without Auto! Learning to take photos on Manual mode will change your photography dramatically, and you'll be able to tell the difference quickly!  I'm now offering one-on-one classes for just $35. If you want to bring a friend, together it will be just $55 for the two of you! If you're a mom or dad and want to bring a couple kids along for your model, go ahead! Its a great opportunity to take a few photos of the kiddos! How does it work? We will meet at a park, home, etc. and discuss a few of the basics and you can get going! I'll walk you through things you may have questions about and give you some great tools to keep learning and practicing!  What will you learn? I go over a few of the basics with you. We talk about ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture. We will discuss light and the basics to making the most ...

The J Family

Now this is one good looking family! Rachel has been one of my good friends for quite sometime. When we both lived in Lincoln while we were in school we actually spent one summer sharing a farmers market booth. She is fantastic, a wonderfully artsy individual who I envy for all of her great talents! Her family is just as wonderful! First, I'm always impressed when little boys do well in photo shoots. We had lots of great smiles, and very few bribes from mom to keep them in a good mood :)  I was so excited when they asked me to photograph their family for a Christmas card. We had a wonderful day at the park, I wouldn't even call it work!
