CONTEST TIME!!!!! I have been wanting to do a really fun themed photoshoot for a while now and can’t decide what to do. So I figured I would let you choose and make some sort of contest out of it. If you don’t know my Imagination Project is something I have been working on trying to capture the imagination and innocence of children. For this contest I want you to tell me if you could have any “themed” photoshoot of your child/children what would it be? I’m looking to capture children in imaginative play or exploration. This contest is open to all that are available to be in the Kansas City area for a photoshoot or who wish to fly me and my family to a cool location for the photoshoot ie: Hawaii:) I will collaborate with the winner a date and time for the photoshoot. The winner will be responsible to “create the photoshoot” so get as adventurous as you want, just remember you will have to create this photoshoot set. The photoshoot will either be outdoors, winners home, or my studio depending upon the set chosen. What the winner gets…… me to take photos of the winner’s child/children in the themed photoshoot setup and approximately 15 digital images of the photoshoot. who decides the winner……everyone that “likes” my facebook page! how to enter the contest…… ***please note the photoshoot is open to children from the ages 7 months to 10 years old. Theme ideas must be child appropriate. Any inappropriate comments will be deleted. All theme ideas must be safe for children to participate in. *** Your set can be as simple as your child with their pet in the woods exploring to setting up a whole outdoor Alice in Wonderland Tea Party! Need ideas, just think what your child is into and incorporate that somehow. It does need to be imaginative though! Get creative!!!!!
The perfect shirt for spring photos, wedding party, holidays and more! Rowan modeling the vintage ruffle tuxedo shirts (and his new haircut). I make these cute little shirts and sell them in my Etsy shop. I’ve got lots of girly stuff for sale too so take a look around. I’ve taken a ton of pictures of flowers lately! It must be spring! These are at the Carlsbad Flower Fields. What a cool place. They are only in bloom for like 8 weeks each year and we just happened to be there during blooming season, lucky us!
We just got back from visiting my brother in Carlsbad, California and got to visit the Flower Fields. It was really beautiful despite our overcast weather. Rowan is to that age now where he won’t hold still for a photo so I have to take what I can get. I figured this would be a great opportunity to do a little before and after. First a little backstory on the way I work. Before each session I go into I have an idea in my head of what I want it to look like. Most of the time I can achieve what I want with very little photoshop editing. However, not every day is sunny, I can’t always shoot my own kids during the beautiful golden hour, and they hardly ever look at the camera any more. I still have in my mind what I envisioned the Carlsbad flower fields to look like with Rowan standing in them. The first photo is the reality of the situation….the only photo with Rowan looking at the camera. It was not from the angle I wanted, and my husband was in the photo. I really liked the photo of Rowan though so I did a little of my super secret photoshop editing and viola! This is an example of why someone would choose me to be their photographer I’m not just taking your picture. i’m not photoshopping an incorrectly exposed picture. I take my clients ideas with my vision and create personalized art.
My lovely neighbor and friend Natalie is expecting a baby girl! We are so excited to meet her and I can’t wait to take her newborn photos. Natalie has an awesome husband that got her newborn photos as a Christmas gift! I saw these tulips and thought they would be perfect for Natalie’s maternity photos and she was up for anything so we had some fun. I love tulips it’s just too bad that in Kansas City they are only in bloom for like 2-3 weeks. Note to self: be due in April for awesome tulip maternity pics:) Enjoy!
So you know that I don’t sit still right?!?! So with all of the fun stuff that I have been creating lately I figured I might as well give Etsy a try. I am obsessed with anything frilly, sparkly, pretty, silky, girly, etc. I thought it would be fun to do a Marie Antoinette styled photoshoot for one of the outfits. My shop name Mille-Feuille is French and means a thousand layers. I thought it fit nicely since my sewing is mostly ruffles and layers of chiffon, lace and feathers! here are some photos from the shoot click here to visit Mille-Feuille Boutique
