Cute Kids

This was from a session before Christmas. I just got the release since I did these as a Christmas gift to their parents :) This was my first session working with a "small group". They were really great kids and the little one was just precious. I just wanted to share a few.









These look slightly oversharpened because of the hosting server I use.

My 1st Maternity Session

I was honored to be asked by my cousin to take her daughter's maternity pictures. Its her 1st grandchild and she's oh, so excited! These were my 1st ever maternity pictures to do and I'm looking forward to taking some squishy newborn pictures any day now! I'm sending speedy, pain free labor vibes your way girl!

What a feeling...

"What a feeling, bein's believin'
I can't have it all, now I'm dancin' for my life
Take your passion, and make it happen
Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life"...Irene Cara


I just couldn't help myself. The first thing I thought of when I uploaded this 1st picture from my camera was that song and particular sceen from the movie Flashdance! I haven't dated myself too much there have I by revealing that I've seen that movie, when it originally came out?

I was testing my other new paper, which as you can see is white. My little guinea pig was somewhat up for it. And its not that I prefer taking pictures of her over the other kids, I just have easier access to her while they're at school :) Anyway, here are a few from yesterday. I'm still up in the air about which paper color I prefer...I think I'm leading towards Chestnut.

Testing, testing...

My chestnut paper that is! I just got my papers in yesterday and got to play around with them some today. I ordered the Chestnut and the White. I decided to play around with the brown first. I really think I'm going to like working with it. Its a great color and I got really good results with it today.
My husband wanted some pictures to go with his website and that he could use for his business:

I figured, when would there be a more better time than now, since I've got some snazzy new backgrounds :) So, here are a few that I took of him.

This picture is of him and his product UFO Battle that he developed as an application for the iPhone!
Who is the Web Specialist, really?!
Just a nice shot of my handsome hubby!

While we were waiting for dad to get ready I decided I need to do some test shots to make sure I had enough light and that the flash looked good, etc., etc. These are a couple of our baby girl. I could hardly keep her still!


And then we have her handsome older brother/my son! I can't believe that he's 14 now. Time is flying by. I thought I would play around with a conversion as well.
He gets his big brown eyes from his momma!!
