The Schmidt Family

I did my first family shoot today, and although it was a challenge it was a ton of fun! 

Thanks Tom and Mickey!!!! 

pratice

So, I have my very first ever new born shoot, I'm so excited and nerves I can hardly contain it! My friend Micky is having a baby boy, (she has not actually had him yet) but I'm trying to prepare as much as I can, I got a back board and some velvet back fabric and created my own studio for a whopping $9 bucks! gotta love wal-mart. So I was testing it out, and trying to find the best places (and time of day) for light in my house. This was fun to do, but he us a pain sometimes, rolling over all the time, spitting up (on my new fabric!!!) and so energetic!!! he does not do well at pretending to be a newborn, and it was a big realization to me that he is not one anymore, I love my sweet baby boy, but is is officially a baby not a newborn. 

Sunrise 2

I did another attempt at the sunrise this morning, I really need to get a good wide angle lens to get the shots that I want, but this is good practice anyway. It really is beautiful! I love doing this and I know this will not be the last shots I take of the sunrise.

I got up this morning to photography the sunrise, it was a great experience, although I want to do it again, every sunrise it different, I have seem ones with tons of colors and puffy clouds. So I hope to catch one of those some time.
