found in 'untitiled 7'

I like to pretend that I don't get posed shots of kids, but sometimes even if all you're doing is taking pictures of a kid being a kid, he'll end up in kinda a posed position.

I found this gem in one of my untitled albums in my aperture library (yes, I need to work on organizing). Not only is it a great looking, posed portrait, but I think it totally still looks like Rowan! My portfolio needs more than great pictures of Rowan, so as soon as swim season is over, I will be working on booking some portrait sessions.

Terra Dog

This is my sister's first child, Terra Dog. It was also my nephew's first word. She's a great dog and pal to my sister and nephew. When I was talking with Alix about my new camera lens, she said she'd love some pictures of Terra. I plan on doing a proper family photo shoot with Alix, Rowan, and Terra, but I snapped these on Christmas Eve and thought that I might as well publish them. I love Terra's eyes are in the main image. She's got such soulful eyes! Hopefully we'll be able to get my sister's family together for pictures when Rowan get's back from Japan. He's going with his father and their family for three weeks, and we even sent him with his own camera! I can't wait to see the pictures that he takes!

Vacation

While I look through all of my vacation photos, I thought I would share this one of Rowan's toes. I took a lot of pictures and learned a lot of things that I can't wait to apply and share.

just an everyday afternoon

Sometimes hanging out in your parents neighborhood with your mom, sister, and nephew is the perfect time to play with your camera. I mean, I want to focus on children's portrait photography, so I better practice taking pictures of children, right? The fleeting light of the evening gave me a little focusing trouble, but I think it also added some nice warm tones! What I find kind of funny is that most of my photography portfolio from high school is of a different generation of kids playing around these same trees. Maybe I'll take the time to scan some of them in...
