WEEK FOUR – PERSONAL
Well I did it!
Here is my 4th and final blog post for my “One Image a Day in March Challenge!”
Some days I didn’t make anything worth sharing and some days I had a hard time narrowing it down, I even skipped a day or two.. But all in all it was a great reminder that I need to keep documenting my family regularly. It brings me so much joy!
I love looking at my family and my life one step removed – through the lens. It helps me to appreciate everyone and all the small moments we share. Sometimes I go through cycles where I spend too much of my life behind the camera (and computer) and I need to come back to living, but usually it helps me to be more present.
While doing this, I’ve also noticed a desire to get more creative with my business portraiture as well – which has been fun.
It was definitely a great experience and stretching those muscles was very needed. Thanks for tuning in! My family and I have a surprise brewing so keep an eye out!
WEEK THREE – PERSONAL
Body-Slammin’ Good Time!
A big black truck pulls up into the park and out hops a momma and her two kids – Kari, Shelby, and Jacob. Jacob cautiously approaches the rest of us with a coy slight smile that tells me he’s interested but we’re going to have to work for it!
And work for it, we did! While I was photographing sweet Shelby, Erin (my business partner, laugh specialist, child herder, marketing guru, sister, pack mule extraordinaire) was scheming with Jacob behind a tree..
With Kari and Shelby lying down, Jacob would run from behind the tree and jump on (body-slam) them. Just like his favorite wrestlers do! By the end we got lots of really fun images, and mom and sister were only a little sore. 😉
Kari said her face hurt from all of the laughing and that she was so glad to get some high-end images of her family. I hear about it all too often, how Mom is never in any of the pictures! We got some really sweet moments captured, that really showcases the kindness that Kari has for her “babies.”
WEEK TWO – PERSONAL
A photograph a day in March has been a success so far! Here is week two!
Big Family Love!
Being one of six kids, I love photographing big families! So when Kristin told me that she was looking for a family portrait with her husband and six kids, I immediately got excited!
After filling up half of the parking lot with all of our vehicles and lots of hand shaking, I was struck by the pleasant, gentle demeanor of everybody in this family!
In between playful joking and soft giggles you could since a very deep closeness between them. They all naturally formed in close clusters with their arms hugging around each other, even if it was to see who was taller! The process was very peaceful and sweet.
Their grandparents were the troublemakers of the group! 😉 Encouraging them to climb bridges and trees, with Kristin and Joe looking on with warm smiles. Grandma was definitely an instigator, and it made for some interesting photographs!
We had a great time, and they made my job so pleasant and fun. Can’t wait to watch this family grow!
