Something new in the Studio!

Well I've been waiting for this for a few months maybe even longer and it has finally arrived and I finally found the time to organize a photo session with my two kids to try it out! It is my new 5 foot studio light umbrella - it is actually called a Parabolic Light Modifier, but a really big umbrella is what my son calls it. I had pre-planned this session with Samuel (my son who is 5) right down to what he was going to wear to how he was going to pose with Anna (his sister my daughter who is 3) Come to think of it I only mentioned that I wanted to do a session with him and Anna and he is the one who started formulating the details. Those who know my husband know exactly where Samuel gets this from! Anyway Samuel was very keen on the wardrobe choice and seemed to know exactly what and how he was going to pose with Anna. I took a few... okay a lot of shots with the two of them and then Anna alone as she was very "into" her photo session and Samuel was loosing interest fast. A few more shots of them together and then Samuel went and got the jellybeans and we wrapped it up with more shots of just Anna while Samuel made sure she was "rewarded" for each frame with a jellybean! It was fun - a little stressful at times - some wardrobe malfunctions ;) and the gourmet jellybeans were a hit, as they ALWAYS are even for the photographer. I LOVE the results! The newest piece of equipment in the studio is AMAZING with the best quality of light anyone could ask for in a studio light. I can't wait to try it on some client sessions!!! Ooooh what fun :)

I love photographing newborns, now put a sibling in the picture and you never know really what you are going to get! Rowan's big brother Wesley wasn't as cooperative as we would have liked ... which was GREAT because seriously, I don't think I could have planned a better session with the two of them!

Megan Faith

This little "Cutie-Pie" was one of my first sessions from the February Newborn Month promotion. Although a little older than the ideal newborn age of 1-2 weeks old she certainly was the perfect little baby. She has such beautiful coloring it was hard to make any of her images into black and white so i didn't ;) Her 3 older brothers are going to have a great time with their new little sister. This hasn't been an easy month for this family, especially mom, but they glow in their faith and knowledge that they are truly blessed ♥
