Kim + James…real troopers!

Sometimes when you meet two people, you can just tell how in love they are. James and Kim are those people. The way they talk, look at each other, and hold hands just gushes with love! Larissa and I had a wonderful time at this photoshoot even though it was cold!! The photos don’t show because these two are real troopers…. About half way through the shoot, we had to stop for hot chocolate just to warm up! My fingers were so cold that I could hardly press the shutter button, so it was a welcomed resting spot for us as well.

We took a nice variety of shots in the city and at a nice little garden we have nearby, so we’re excited to show off these pics!

A few new books!

We really enjoy looking at pictures on the computer and various websites, but nothing is like seeing your work in actual print. It’s like all the hard work comes to life when you see an album, a 16×20 or any other high quality print in person. The colors, the clarity….ahhhh, it’s like an addiction! I hate giving away stuff to clients! I wish I could keep it all!

We wanted to offer our clients a few more albums and design a mini book to give away to prospective clients, so here you go! The albums are our lower end coffee table book and the small book is a just a little something to show off our work to prospective clients.

The Hickmon Family!

I’ve known Neka for a long time so we were pretty excited about being able to take their family photos. We went out with just the girls last month and it was cold and raining so we wanted to do it again. We got together earlier this month and Greg came out this time so we were able to get a couple of shots with the whole family.

Pax is turning four soon so……Happy Birthday Pax!! Here are some of our favorites from both shoots.

Another processing option!!

I’m kind of a processing addict when it comes to our pictures. I want every picture to be just right. Lighting, skin tones, you name it! I’m usually online browsing hundreds of pictures looking for aspects I like and dislike about each. The more I do this, the more I find my identity when taking pictures and fine tune my own processing.

There are so many options when processing a picture!! I love vibrant and clear pictures, I love the new black and white effect we made, but I wanted to come up with a cool, vintage like effect as well. We put together this new effect that I like to call “Vintage Blue”.

Mr. Brett Maxwell, an awesome Michigan Photographer, likes to see before and after shots, so this is just for him. In the pic below, A is Vibrant and Clear and B is Vintage Blue. I love them both but it gives us another option that we really like! This will look awesome on our new Wedding Photos!

So, what do you think?

I love black and white images, but I have a hard time taking our beautiful, vibrant, color pictures and making them black and white. So…that got me to thinking.  Maybe I just haven’t spent enough time coming up with a black and white process to take advantage of the colors and contrast in the color pictures I love so much!

I spent the last few days playing around with black & white conversions.  High contrast, noisy, bright, dark, you name it! After all that, this is my favorite that I settled on.  Like it?

Can we PLEASE call this little boy pretty!!!

We know he is a little boy, but my goodness, HE IS JUST SO PRETTY!!! His eyes, his little lips, everything about this baby boy is just beautiful!! His mom and dad, Ashley and Mark, wanted to enter him into a “Most Beautiful Baby Contest”, so they need some pictures to register. Ashley and Mark are dear friends of ours, so maybe we are biased, but isn’t he gorgeous! Go vote for him when it comes up! We will post a link for everyone to go and vote when we get the information!

Mr. Personality, aka: Mr. Ryan!

Amy and Chris wanted to get some pictures of their precious little boy Ryan for his 2nd birthday, and boy did he perform. He was so animated with smiles, smirks, and grins! It was so fun running around with this little guy, and just capturing him as he played. No whines or frowns on this shoot! What a great little boy he was!

The Lee Girls + Jeff :)

We met Jeff and Andrea at Dan & MacKensie’s Los Cabos Wedding last fall and had a really good time! After the wedding, we all jumped in the pool and we got to spend a little time together. When they let us know they wanted us to do their family pictures, we were all over it. Their girls are beautiful and the family just looks good! :) Here’s our faves!

The Kibodeaux Family!

We’ve been planning to do this photo shoot with Melanie and Eric for months because we knew this is the only time the ENTIRE family is in town!! The kids are growing up and Christmas is one of the few times to get a family picture so we were happy the weather cooperated. It rained all week and then right at photo shoot time, the skies cleared up. I told Eric he must be doing something right in life…lol. We really enjoyed spending a couple of hours with this family getting some wonderful family portraits. Check out a few of our favorites!
