Too Much Free Time on Maternity Leave

-

Happy Wednesday! This past weekend we had a little cookout and my husband smoked some ribs and a chicken, yum! But as the sun was slowly going down, something about the lighting had me wanting to get some specific shots to play around with in photoshop. The past couple weeks of maternity leave have left me with so much free time I scour the web for any tips and tricks of the trade I could learn.


I ended up finding some different techniques for adding in a dramatic sky overlay. The first image did not go over so well..


Second try was better but still not as good as I wanted. 


Third times a charm!

Also, none of these kids are mine. The first one is Alan, our friends' son, and the second two are our nephews Corey and Kallen. My wonderful daughter decided to run away screaming "nooooo!" every time I pointed the camera at her. Kids are the best.

Meet the Lefeld Family

One of the best compliments out there is a repeat client. I've had the joy of photographing Heather, Chad, and (not so little anymore) Jacob. Normally toddlers have a tendency to dislike the family picture process, but Jacob was nothing but smiles. He didn't even throw one tantrum! I hope to have the pleasure of working with the Lefelds for many years to come!

Sometimes life just gets too busy! Between parenting, working, dance class and it seems like nowadays everyone has a "side hustle", there doesn't seem to be enough hours in a day to savor the little moments. And, boy, do they go fast! We had Jack's baptism this past weekend and capturing moments with some of his great-grandparents make this whole hobby worth while. They may not be perfect, but they are perfect to me! And, of course, Jack had to poop through his cute baptism outfit right before we did pictures! I wouldn't expect anything else out of this crazy kids.

I had the pleasure of photographing my first wedding, and I am so pleased with how it turned out! And working with friends always makes everything go a little smoother. Seriously, look how photogenic they are! I had a hard time picking favorites for the blog. But, I guess thats a good problem to have. Poor Ashely broke her foot just weeks before the wedding, but she was ready for anything and nothing could stop her from enjoying her day. Wishing you two many years of happiness and love. Can't wait to see where life takes you!
