A few recent captures….

Thanks for all the praise on my new website,  I really appreciate it.

My blog has been a bit neglected since I moved and started renovating our new house!    But I wanted to share a few with you all.

New Website is up and running!

My new website is now officially published and please surf in and check it out!   It’s so pretty and easy to navigate, not to mention that the photos can be displayed larger too.   www.lindazelnio.com

Happy Birthday Baby “J”!!

I went on Wednesday to photograph little J.  and his mom told me his 1st birthday is today.  We had a good session, and I found lots of personal favorites which I will happily share with you all.  He was a happy little trooper, and didn’t mind the camera one bit. Cute as a button! Look at those eyes.

Since it was bright and sunny outside, we shot a lot inside, which works very well if you have rooms with little clutter and big windows.  Little J’s home was great to use for this session!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friday Session!

Friday’s session was my most challenging one so far, with 3 kids under age 5.  But, it’s experience which I gain under my belt!  This work isn’t for the faint-hearted. (Or unfit! – I got a good work-out too).   Thank you guys for the fun session!

 

 

 

Above I used a special Vintage treatment which was developed by a friend of mine, it’s available for any photo of my clients choice!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More of David

These are my personal favorites of my friend’s session yesterday. It was pretty late, between 5.30-7pm but they came out pretty well anyway (thanks to my superb camera!)  My son decided to help with the posing of their family portrait!

Litte David

 

I’ve been looking forward to do this session with 7 month old David, we decided to wait until he could sit up and he’s now sturdy as can be. It was a lot of fun and David was a good sport, the beginning in always a bit strange for them but I started out with some casual shots with him and mommy first.

 

 

Now here’s a look I really like, but I may be alone with that….haha.. I have found out a way to make babies look like they really mean business. I think it’s an awesome look. “Who did you call punk…”

 

 

My baby can stand up

Oh, there goes my easy photo shoot opportunities. She’s on the move. But isn’t she just the cutest?

 

Mini session and visit from Sofia and Emily

My friend Emily came over and our kids were “hanging out” and I had a little mini session with Sofia. Here’s a little teaser and preview for Emily!

 

 

 

Outside with the kids and the 85mm f1.8

I bought a new lens for portraits, although indoors I will probably still use the 35 f2 the most. My new 85mm is really sweet though! It was a little warmer today but it was still snow on the ground. My baby girl doesn’t like snow much so we didn’t stay out for long.

 

 

A little light in the winter darkness..

… it seems like most kids in State College has a cold at the moment!
