This was my second session with this beautiful little girl, and she was only 6 weeks old. This session was more casual and spontaneous than the first. Almost entirely window light, my favorite.
This shoot was about as relaxed and easy as they get. We took a short walk in my neighborhood to a greenbelt and a park. Brother and sister were more than happy to climb trees, do kart wheels, toss the football, and lounge on my famous (in my little world) orange couch. I first took pictures with this family two years ago, they are great to work with. We discussed our next session and what that will involve, should be fun.
I am a photographer, wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, baker, knitter, reader, thrift store shopper, lover of our Lord and Savior, love to laugh, and I found what I want to do when I grow up.
I have been attracted to things that require creativity since elementary school. Photography specifically is a medium I have enjoyed since high school. I decided to get more serious with it about 7 years ago, at which point I took a couple classes at a community college. My friends and family were kind enough, first, to encourage me in my pursuit of this art, and then also to stand in front of my lens as I began to learn and practice portrait photography. For the first couple of years my portfolio was filled with portraits of these people whom I love and am thankful for. I will always be learning, and look forward to each and every time I use my camera to capture life as it happens.
