So yesterday was a maternity shoot with Chantelle and her boyfriend Nick. I set up in the piano/workout room and the light was awesome. Everything went very smoothly and I got some fantastic shots. I am looking forward to getting them posted for all to see. Chantelle was so comfortable (after a few min of being in front of the camera) to try some shots in little clothing! She has a great belly, can't wait to meet the little guy.
Today I am off to take more pics of Ryler. I am going to work on the photographs for Ten Toe Soup Designs. Ryler is perfect he is tiny and sleepy.....Just what I need. I have foudn a sitter for my older two children and it looks like the Baby is coming with me. IT was the mom of Ryler (Natasha) that suggested I bring him along. This should be interesting! LOL.
I am finding more and more people around me are preg, more than ever....I am loving this.
I started out taking pictures at weddings, now more and more maternity and newborn shoots. I guess as I get older, I have less friends getting married. they are all now having babies, so....I get to capture this journey. I love being able to "control" the shoot. This is much different to taking pics at a wedding. I have way more control even though the babies can be more in control than me! LOL
Have a great day!

Things are looking up. After a long (too long might I add) 2 months of no photo shoots, I am getting back into the swing of things. There was one shoot last week, 3 this week and hoping more to come. Oh actually I have 4 this week including my monthly shoot with the ever growing belly of my friend Crystal. I often do not think of it as a shoot cause it takes me only 10 min.
Crystal has given me the honor of capturing her belly every month, since 3 months. I am definitely liking this. Its fun to see how she grows from month to month. At 34 weeks we will do a full maternity shoot too. Its funny how when I walk through a mall and see a belly all I can think about is being their photographer......when most women just want the belly!
Its off to Mission for me. I will stay at the in-laws since I have 2 photo shoots out there tomorrow. This way I can get up without having to rush out there with the kids to drop them off. There is less pressure and the kids get to have a sleepover at Baba and Papa's.
Time to run.

Ok so Ryler was awesome...after he got used to being naked of course. He is so tiny, hard to believe he is 1 month today. Most babies are bigger then him at birth! He was a precious little man to work with. I got to enjoy snuggling him and calming him down. I know, I know, TOUGH JOB.!
Here is a sneak peek for all to see.

Baby Ryler
Well I am just getting ready to head out on another shoot. Today is a newborn shoot with Ryler. He is a teeny baby at 4 weeks old just weighing in at 6lbs 7oz. I am really excited to try new things and expand my portfolio. Its a beautiful day and I will be back to tell you all about it later today!

Baby Lily
Today was a great day. Not only was it sunny with spring like temperatures, I got to take photos of Sweet Baby Lily. I must start by thanking a great girlfriend for so graciously offering to take my 3 beautiful children. Without her help, this shoot may not have happened at all.
When I arrive I like to sit and talk for a short time before starting the shoot. I get a feel for light and the family. Lily is just so precious...I know all babies are, but really, she is a GEM. I had such a great time with Shannon (mommy) and Lily. They were a true joy to work with. Lily was awake and squirming there was no sleeping for her. She was happy the whole time and i heard maybe one peep outta her the entire 2 hours. Finally by the end of the shoot she was sound asleep so before i finished packing up we took he upstairs and got some really great shots.
Shannon had agreed that Lily could be a model for Ten Toe Soup Designs, so that was the main reason for the shoot, and I took some extras :) I just love it so much. I am excited to get them done and ready for Sharon at Ten Toe Soup Designs.
Monday is another newborn shoot here in town and it is a shorter shoot. Ryler is 4 weeks on Monday and still a wee man. He is weighing in at 6lbs 7 oz. Oh I can not wait to get my hands on him! :-)
Good night all!

Slower Times
Well I am looking forward to doing some photos, later this week, for Ten Toe Soup Designs. I will be doing a newborn shoot with an assortment of the Ten Toe Soup Designs'. Hats and slippers, cocoons and a stork pouch. This project has been delayed a couple times as I was sick and scheduling problems. Trying to find a sitter can be so hard sometimes. I find a person, then the husband does not feel comfortable. UGH....I want a live in nanny!
I need to get in the groove. I have not really been working much in the new year. It sucks, but I know it will pick up once the HIT of Christmas passes and he weather improves. I can't wait to be so busy that my head will spin. I love the rush of a shoot and the nerves running rampid until I upload them to my computer. Engagement, Weddings, Bumps & Babies I love it all.
This spring I am really hoping that I can start the "Trash the Dress" portfolio. I have some great ideas and if you want to be a model with your dress, you should not delay. There will be great deals for the first 2 that contact me.
Getting inspired is a huge part of my job. I love to look at other peoples photos. I get a better idea of what I want out of my photoshoot. Ultimately I know it is the clients shoot but the creativity and technical aspect of the shoot that makes the shot, that is mine!
