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!

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)  ...
