Sneak Peek: Nate ~ newborn photography

Oh! What a prime little guy!  He is usually so smiley and happy (when I’m not there). As soon as I would point my lens at Nate, he became so serious an curious about this crazy lady with a camera – and I think he may have been seeing himself in my lens.  I have a little sneak peek from Nate’s first session and he is AMAZING – I’m especially taken by his little ‘mullet sprout’.  I just love the way these images look in black and white.  I always create a family portrait with the newborn sessions, and this first image is one of my favorites, ever. (Dad really is that tall!) I think that the joy on Mom’s face tells the whole story.  And that last image? We worked for it, but, totally worth it!

For all you photographers, I used my own chanel mixer concoction for the black and white. I think it creates a milky skin tone and that little ‘pop’ comes from another little action I’ve created (Bee Snappy). Coming soon to www.thebeeplan.com.

Thanks for stopping ~ Enjoy!

 

Jaime & Robert ~ Orchard Hill wedding

When I attend services at Orchard Hill, I can’t really imagine a wedding there. It’s not a traditional chapel, and it is currently under construction for expansion.  I love the message and the music at this church, and was quite honored to photograph the first and only wedding in the worship center in 17 years. I knew from attending services that the lighting capablilities of the space were quite extensive, and was really looking forward to seeing what had been planned. The details of the ceremony were a gift from Rob to his bride. Just thinking about it makes me well up a bit. While the lighting was dynamic, it was kept very dark and romantic.

I have photographed dozens of weddings in very large, dark churches, but nothing quite prepared me for this truly candle lit ceremony. I’m not sure if the lighting was as challenging as fighting to see through my emotion. As I edit the images, I wanted to share just one with you. Such a beautiful moment.  I’ll post more and share the details when they are ready.

Thanks for visiting ~

Sneak peek ~ newborn photography

Just two for now… Miss Addison was 10 days old and already a supermodel (and I think she smiled at me!). Isn’t it lucky that her room is pink and green? Just like Busy Bee!!  Wow, what a baby doll.  I think I am going to need to update my header soon to show off all the wonderful new sessions.

p.s. No update from Kaitlin, yet…

Enjoy!

no baby, yet! Maternity sneak peek

I just heard from Kaitlin, and no baby… yet (sigh). I met with Kaitlin and Shawn and their 2 doggies for a maternity session at their home, and baby should have arrived today.

Kaitlin & Shawn are waiting to meet their little one to find out if it is a boy or a girl… anyone care to venture a guess?  I can’t WAIT to meet him or her, so I can only imagine how excited this family is.  I create a Registry for all my clients, so if you are thinking about a baby gift?  Photography is perfect.  Just CLICK HERE to find out more.

We had lovely light and isn’t she BEAUTIFUL?!  Here is a sneak peek.  I”ll give you an update as soon as we have one.
