Two Seniors

The longer that I do photography and the more time that I spend finding my style, the more I realize that I love shooting posed portraits.  I enjoy the control of setting up a light, placing my subject and creating portraiture.  Life-style sessions have become very popular in the last several years.  They are fun and whimsical, freezing life and capturing those fleeting moments.  Although I appreciate these images and also take them from time to time myself, especially of my own family, I almost always look at them and think that just about anybody could pick up a camera and do that.  Finding a suitable background, posing people, setting up the ideal lighting even in the most non-ideal situation is a challenge that not everyone can do.  These images don't happen on accident.  They are planned, thought out and can be both challenging and rewarding.  Every year, I wonder if I want to sacrifice time with my family to keep my business going and every year, I fail to walk away because I want to do something better than I did the year before.  The following images are two seniors, more family who are getting ready to graduate and move on with their lives.  I hauled around lights and reflectors (with some help) in the mid-day sun, posing, re-posing and then posing them some more.  Why?  Because I can...and I enjoy it... ;)

Half a year

The milestones fly by so quickly, from newborn to sitting up with big smiles and adorable squishy leg rolls.  This little husker fan is such a doll.  It is always great catching up with my clients and I look forward to capturing the next milestone.

 

B is for Baseball

Every newborn is completely different and you never know what to expect.  This little man was a champ and slept for the entire session.  Even at the end of the session, when I thought I'd get a couple of open eyed photos, he just couldn't quite open his eyes enough.  I guess all you need is a crate, a fuzzy blanket and a baseball glove....zzzzz

Real Estate Head Shots

I have a friend who is starting a new adventure as a real estate agent.  Thank you, Selin, for choosing me to do your head shots.  It was a warm sticky night but at least we didn't have any rain!  Best wishes with heading back into the work force.  We should get together for coffee when the coffee shop is actually open... ;)

Six times two

I have been photographing these two since they were little bitty and they never disappoint.  When you let an almost 6 year old run the show, funny things are bound to happen. :)
