Moses & Meredith

Here are my favorite shots from a session I did in Michigan with Moses and Meredith. They make look familiar as I did a session with them a year ago. Moses was ready to go as soon as he saw my big camera
and Meredith was just as sweet as could be. Thank you for the great shoot!

I did not even tell him to get in there, I just let him do his thing.

Almost a year later, I got to take some more photos of this guy. He still hasn't had any of his teeth come in, but that definitely doesn't stop him from smiling! Love this little guy.

Brooklyn The Rockstar

Hello! I know I have been a bit of a stranger around here, I have been super busy. And not in the getting a lot done way, but more in the chicken with my head cut off type of way. November was filled with birthdays, two Thanksgiving celebrations and premature sunsets. I walk out of work and it's completely dark as if the day ended before I even got a chance.

Well, this weekend I did something I have not done for a while: I followed a little one around with my camera. This is Brooklyn. Why do I call her a rock star? Because she likes to stay up all night dancing, playing with toys and otherwise destroying clean rooms-- true story. It was nerve wracking a first because I have been shooting a lot of food, which does not move. And kids, that's pretty much all they do. It's a completely different mind set. With food you can futz around with the light, the angle, the composition until everything is just right. But with people, you have to go with the flow. You have to keep thinking and moving and give direction. You have to anticipate, keep the camera up and ready.

Sometimes you have to run across a field paparazzi-style when the kid sees a dog.

And sometimes, you have to get all up in someone's face. But I'm cool with that.

And sometimes, you even have to resort to bribery; which I'm also cool with. Totally worth it.

Moses & Meredith

Hello and happy hump day! Here are some pictures I took in Michigan of my cousin Tanya's friend and her kids at a park. Tanya asked before our trip if Stephen and I would like to take pictures of them so that is how we met. Meredith was very easy going and gave us a good 30 minutes of happiness and smiles before she called it a day and was done with all the fuss. And her big brother, Moses, was a total ham, which was great!

We said "give her a kiss," not "give her a squish!" (I can make as many bad jokes as I want; it's my blog! And if it were a party, I could cry, too. See, I can keep going and going and going...)

At the end of the shoot, Moses was still rearing to go and, as you can see, rolled himself into a burrito. I don't think this kid has a hard time entertaining himself. It was nice to meet you all and thank you for the great session!
