Beach family session at Fort Macon, NC. Storyboards/Collage

My clients are saying they have problems picking out pictures from their sessions because they like them all.  But most people don’t want to put 35, or so, pictures on a wall. So recently I sat down and made sure all of my templates were made available in my photo cart.

It makes it very easy for my clients to pick one and then add on which photos they want to use, and then place the order, along with their other prints. Without having to email me back and forth!   I love this process, and the past two days, I sold FIVE 10×20 collages.   They do take about an hour to put together, but I don’t charge extra for it.  In general, I avoid “extra fees” because it makes life more complicated, and I don’t think we need more of that.

Here’s two of the collages I’ve made so far,

Fun in the sun…tutu time

Princess or not, dirt ends up on 2 year olds.  I think she really loves getting clothes changed, as often as she gets dirty!

 

 

 

I’m starting to get booked for spring and summer….meanwhile…some more of my children

Things are moving quickly now when spring kicks in and I’ll be busy probably every weekend.  So I am going to take this moment to post more pictures of my own children, in our front and backyard!    Shooting my own kids also lets me experiment with different post processing effects in Photoshop.   As most of you probably know by now, photographs aren’t coming out of the camera looking like this ;P

What’s fun for me is to make the photos a little modern vintage.  In general, I don’t process my client’s photos this way but stay with more “normal” colors but if you like the vintage look, feel free to ask me to fix that for your photos!

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.

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!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday session – two adorable siblings & mom

I got the chance to do a session with another adorable 1 year old girl – little Lauren. She’s only 4 days older than my own princess.

Her brother, Alex, was very handsome, and an energetic little boy.  My little pond in my yard turned out to  be the best distraction to get a nice candid shot of him.

Here’s some of my favorites, and a sneak-peak for mommy. Thanks for coming by!
