And he fell asleep...

This has been a favorite session of mine to date. This family was absolutely fabulous and the images turned out so great! When the little one fell asleep, his mom put him in his chair, and the family dog walked up and licked his foot! It's these precious moments that I am so happy to be able to capture and share. The weather was great the day of our session, and I had the best time photographing this awesome family!

Studio Lighting

I have been a huge believer that natural light is the one and only way to photograph, so I surprised myself when I signed up for Jeremy Igo's ( http://www.jeremyigo.com/blog/ ) studio lighting workshop. After seeing a bunch of his images, I was so intrigued to find out just how it was done- and I am so glad I did. Jeremy was an amazing instructor and the class was unbelievable!!! Not to mention that fact that our model was gorgeous! I learned an incredible amount in just a few hours and am now ready to purchase my own lighting equipment :) I see many bridal portraits in my future with my new skills... On a side note, I am still a firm believer in natural light and will continue to do most of my work this way. But, when the time is right, studio lighting can add a new dynamic dimension to images.
