Kids Portraits

Brand New | Carson

Meet Carson, a brand new addition to my brother’s family! I got to do a Brand New session with Carson at exactly 2 weeks old, the perfect time for newborn sessions. He was such a cutie for his shoot—slept almost the entire time. With 4 older siblings he has no problem sleeping just about anywhere.

We shot everything in natural light in the sunroom at Carson’s house, which made for these beautiful portraits, below.

Welcome to the world, Carson!

Brand New | Quincy

I recently had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Quincy for a Brand New session, and what a pleasure it was! I usually do Brand New sessions at about 2 weeks old, but we squeezed Quincy’s portraits in at 7 weeks. We had some nice natural light to work with in his nursery, which when coupled with super tight depth of field, makes for absolutely beautiful portraits!

The colorful stocking hat was custom knitted by my sister—finished just hours before the shoot! (If anyone is interested in knitted hats for photo shoots or other purposes, get in touch with me and I’ll put you in touch with my sis!)

Junkyard Portrait Session

I’ve always wanted to shoot in a junkyard, and I finally got my chance! Kayla just graduated from 8th grade so what better way to mark that milestone than by making some fun portraits? She was a good sport and willing to get a little dirty and brave the rains. Oh the rain! For the first portion of our shoot is was storming like mad out so we worked with what we had inside—I have to say I think we got some great stuff in there!

The best images happened outside. Just before calling it a day the clouds broke and the sun came out. The junkyard was soaking wet, but the atmosphere and natural light were perfect for our portraits! So we got to work and made some excellent images.

Thanks for being a good sport, Kayla, and congratulations on your graduation!
