The Thomas Family

I met Emily from her sister Amanda Lawrence, whose wedding I photographed last year. She contacted me about doing some family pictures with her sweet babies. She just had a baby and he was so tiny. I fell in love with her little baby Corbin.  Here are a few from our session on Friday....

::Tara Staton Workshop::

Last weekend I attended Tara Staton's Workshop. This was my first workshop and I loved it! She is such a talented photographer and had so much knowledge and insight to share with us. I learned so much and am going to start to put that into practice. I have taught myself everything I know about photography and although I have learned a lot over the past couple years from my obsessive googling and youtubing,  there were still some basic things about the business and tips that I still didn't know.  I was grateful to be able to attend and learn some new things I didn't know and also for once to see another photographer in action and see how there process is from start to finish. 
Here are some of my favorite images from the workshop.  I learned some new things in photoshop and wanted to try it out on these photos.  I wanted to add some frames to my photos as well to give them kind of an edge. Still not sure what I think about the frames, but just testing them out.  Let me know what you think of the style of the photos ;)

::The Bartusch Girls::

These girls are just dolls with their blues eyes and adorable personalities! I had so much fun with these two just running around in the "secret garden" and playing hide and seek.  Here's a sneak peak of our session from Monday...

::Kesha + David::

This couple is the cutest! They were so sweet and you could tell there unending love for each through their photos. The leaves were gorgeous and the sunset was just perfect! Here's a few photos from our session a few days ago. A big thanks to Sara Harvey for assisting me!

::Sweet Babies::

These two precious babies were so fun to work with! It was hard to get a bad shot of these gorgeous kiddos with their blond hair and blue eyes.  Connor was making me laugh the whole time. If you told him to give you a big smile, he would start laughing really loud, making me laugh just as hard! And Abbie was just precious; I just wanted to eat her up! Check out these pics from our session-

Family::The Barcrofts::

Last weekend we headed down to Arlington Square to get some fun pictures of the Barcroft Family. We have known the Barcrofts for a while since we all went to church together. Everytime I see Cathleen, she is always saying how we need to get together so I can do a family picture! I'm so glad I was finally able to do it. We had so much fun around Arlington Square. I have never actually taken pictures at the square or really stopped to look at what photo opportunities were around until this photo shoot. I really loved to look it had and we got some great pictures out of it!
