Mothers of Preschoolers International — Teaching moms how to take better pictures…

admin — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 19:32:49 +0000

Next Wednesday, December 15, I get the privilege of speaking at our local chapter of Mothers of Preschoolers International. The topic will be subject near and dear to my heart–photos. I remember wanting so badly to capture my child’s true personality and, then, as if on cue, the moment the camera came up, the cute moment turned south. Sometimes the smile turned into a fake grin or, more often than not, a battle scene ensued and the magical moment was lost. Unfortunately, when my kiddos were little, I was not a professional photographer and did not have the knowledge of lighting and composition that I have now. These moments are fleeting and you want to make the most of it. I love passing on what I know. Obviously, there is a time and place for professional portraiture and, of course, I hope everyone remembers me but, in the meantime, get out those digital cameras and take the best pictures you can with a few simple principles in mind. I will be speaking at the Lookout Mountain Community Church’s MOPS chapter at 9AM on Dec 15, Wednesday morning. If you would like to join us, please call 303.526.9287 prior to Wednesday.

I just LOVE capturing kids being kids…

Evergreen Family Shoot

About two weeks ago, we had the privilege of shooting this family. Pretty amazing people! Due to some scheduling difficulties, we had only about twenty minutes! Yikes! Our normal session lasts at least an hour. Thankfully, everyone felt really comfortable right away–even this precious baby. On the count of three, she would explode with applause, laughter and a huge grin. Don’t think for a minute that we did not take her special talent and use it over and over again to create some awesome images. Absolutely precious! She is the definition of delight.
Michael is the one who contacted us for this photo shoot. Michael is an amazing man and he is running for the 6th US Congressional District. Please check out his website at www.kearnsforcongress.com. His website may be under construction for a few more days, so be sure to check back. He is a passionate man with a message you will want to hear. Michael is also the only man to have parachuted over all seven continents and, for his fortieth birthday, did 41 parachute jumps. He is definitely someone you want to get to know! Here are the images from his family shoot…

Colorado Family Shoot

admin — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 05:21:06 +0000

We created this little video of one of our family shoots. The family wanted a true Colorado setting and they got more than they bargained for-snowing like crazy and twenty degrees. No one complained and we worked really fast! Beautiful family and it was a real privilege to work with them. We are honored to have one of these images hanging above their fireplace as a very large gallery wrap. Please enjoy…

Isn’t he the cutest little guy you ever saw?! He was so adorable-sitting in the meadow and going crazy with the texture of the grass. The wonders of childhood! We should all be so thrilled to sit in the grass–I think we can learn a lesson on enjoying life from this little 6 month old. Here are just a couple from this shoot, I am holding back my real favorites for his parents to see when they return from Japan. More to come…
