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!

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!

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!

Lens Investment

I regularly have clients that come to me asking what equipment they should invest in to take better photos. Many families now have an SLR camera (single lens reflex...one of those cameras where the lenses are screwed off/on and the mirror inside makes a click sound when you take a photo). One of the best investments you can make after buying an SLR, is a good prime lens. Now, you may not know this, but I shoot with Canon. Typically photographers are either Canon or Nikon...and the equipment is not interchangeable . If you are a Canon user, I suggest you invest in a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens . This lens runs around $120, and is fabulous. It is one the cheapest (if not THE cheapest) Canon lens you can buy. It is fabulous and you'll still find me using it on occasion. Here are a few examples of photos I've taken with that lens. It is also the first lens I would suggest that you purchase if you're looking to try to shoot in Manual Mode. It gives yo...
