Deb and Megan wanted a session that was fun, relaxed and off the cuff. They wanted to reflect their family’s affinity for a “night on the town”. I’d say we hit the mark, I had a great time during our night out!

A 2-year-old who cooperates is a rare thing… one who happily poses with a smile is a rare thing indeed! Jorja was smiling, even laughing on cue! Unbelievable! I’m sure she’ll be back again soon, and I’m looking forward to it!

Finley is one of “our” babies – we’ll be documenting her growth up through her 2 year birthday and beyond. Here she is at 6 months. Which is your favorite? Leave a comment below!

Scheduling with seniors this year has been one of the most difficult parts of the project. For many seniors we have had to break up the project into two days. Do a location shoot one day, and studio shoot another. What was once an oddity is now becoming closer to the norm. If it does not rush things, and gets the project done right, then it is worth the extra time.

After Charlotte’s two part session I thought there was no way I would be able to top the field captures. However image 7 is such a strong classic simple portrait, it won me over. Enough light to be flattering to a female face, but still some dark shadows that add interest and contrast. It wins my vote for favorite. What’s yours?

When I heard that Tami and Drew were bringing Christmas lights for their Christmas card shoot I got excited. Check out what we got. I love it.

I always refer to shooting portraits of kids as “cheating”. As long as I have a crisp, clean, well-exposed shot, then the rest is just pointing the camera at a cute kid. Sure they can be fussy, but when you have the luxury of blocking out 1-2 hours for a portrait shoot, being able to take time and wait for the good moods and real smiles is just a matter of patience. The Delp kids were not even fussy at all so getting good shots felt even more like “cheating”.

What fun Ideas Paige had for her new son! Mike’s addition of a Gibson acoustic was also above and beyond. Look for the ISPhotographic page on Facebook for more!

Even though I’ve known the Johnsons for years, we have just managed to get together for some photos. From the studio to Tapawingo Park, to People’s Brewing, we worked to capture energy, happiness and love. How did we do? Do you have a favorite?
