Just for Fun

August 3, 2015 Filed inPersonal,Stylized Photography

Sometimes I take photography too seriously.  I want the perfect pose, with the perfect expression, and the perfect lighting.  While that is all fine and good, it can be, well, exhausting.

So I set out to create a shoot that would leave me invigorated rather than exhausted. I headed out to the dollar store and bought a couple packets of confetti, stripped down my bed, and let my toddler loose. Then I just focused on letting the whole thing unfold organically.

The pictures are definitely not my best work from a technical standpoint, but they brought a smile to my face.  Isn’t that what’s important, anyway?

Confetti Photo SessionMy toddler had a blast with this.  She jumped, she threw, she twirled… 

Confetti Photo SessionThe baby was not impressed. 

(And don’t worry… no confetti was eaten during the creation of these photos.  Tulle on the other hand…)

Lace and Flowers Photo Session

July 15, 2015 Filed inStylized Photography

Portland Children

I took my girls out for a few quick photos last week.  We recently blessed the baby in our church, and I wanted to get some photos of her in her special blessing dress.  On a whim, I decided to make a floral crown. I found what was allegedly the “Easiest Flower Crown You’ll Ever Make,” and put her little crown together.  Side note: When you struggle with the world’s easiest tutorial, you know crafts aren’t your specialty.  It was my fingers.  I do NOT have nimble fingers.

Anyway, for my older daughter, I just wrapped some lace around her head and attached the flower clip.  She kept calling it her, “pwetty lace hat.” I love the way the lace frames her face!

And I LOVE summer light!
