Photo of the Day: Sky

I was standing outside the other day and happened to look up just when there were about 6 contrails in the sky... it was a cold, crisp day so you could even see the airplanes at the head of the trails, even the little teeny one that must have been tens of thousands of feet up. It just looked so awesome. I stared and thought to myself, "Gee, I wish I had my camera..."

Then I started twitching a little... then a little more... then I dropped everything and ran inside to find the camera. Like I always say, it's a disease folks.

Well by the time I got back outside, it wasn't nearly as cool as before... the contrails had dissipated, so I didn't get that shot, but the sky to the east was still streaked with some really cool clouds. See...



It's almost Friday! Joy!

Sneak Peek | Baby Jayden | Hampton Roads Baby Photography

A few days ago I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable baby boy. At about 5 weeks old he wasn't the sleepy newborn we had originally planned for, but he was so much fun to work with nonetheless. And, in looking through all the pics, I really like the awake ones we captured... :)



This sweet boy LOVED his soothie! Noah was a soothie baby too.. for all of about 2 seconds after which he realized it didn't produce milk and then wanted nothing to do with it. I like his half-awake, soothie-coma expression here... it's so very newborn-ish :)



...and then he drifted off...



...and then he was awake...! He was very intent on checking out his surroundings...and keeping an eye on his mom.



Have I mentioned how much I love baby feet?! To nibble them is to experience bliss. Seriously. You should try it. But maybe on a baby you know otherwise the parents might freak a little :)

So mom, sorry this took a while to post... I'm still working on a few more and your gallery should be up soon!

Photo of the Day: Gear

Well... despite ONE day of missed posts, I MADE IT! A full month of blogging everyday :) Whew. That was work. But fun work.

Though I probably won't be able to do an everyday post from here on out, I really enjoyed the challenge of finding something new to put up here everday and I'm going to keep it up as much as possible. Any suggestions for topics? Leave me a comment! I'd love to hear from you...

So without further ado...



Have a good night. Hope your Monday was productive!!

Photo of the Day: A New Old Friend

You know how sometimes you get or find something new and for a long time it's your FAVORITE thing?! And then the glitz wears off and it finds a place on a dusty shelf somewhere? Well that's kind-of what happened with this lens (minus the dusty shelf...omg...I would never...).

After getting this lens about a year ago I shot with it all. the. time. There was rarely another lens on my camera. Then I forced myself to get back into my primes (50 and 85) and have been shooting with them pretty much non-stop for the last 6 months.

The other day I broke out this baby again... and have fallen in love all over again.



Ahh.

Okay. I swear... baby pictures soon!!

Photo of the Day: Through-Trey's-Eyes Fridays...

Tonight we had a small birthday celebration for Noah (those pics to come later) and Trey had his camera out for the "festivities".... So after bedtime, my normal computer work time, I began my hunt for his little digital camera. I searched the living room, dining room, and ever so quietly searched his room. Dangit, I thought, I would just have to post something ELSE this friday.

So I walked into my bedroom and there it was... he had put the camera back on my desk. Just where he knew it should go. Good boy.

So here's his picture for this week:



He took this a few weeks back before we were headed out. It makes me laugh :)

Good shot Trey.

More to come soon...

Oh... and if you're in Charleston, SC - or if you know anyone in the Charleston area - I've got some fun news for you guys! Stay tuned!

Photo of the Day: A Shoe-Shining Obsession

Here I am. Back on track!

So, my husband has an obsession. Shining his shoes. It's a little ridiculous and kind-of endearing. When he's done with the whole shoe-shine ritual (which DOES actually include some spit shine...) he'll gently place the shoes (or boots) neatly in front of the door. Sometimes he puts them on a towel, sometimes not, but either way, he'll stand there and look at them adoringly for a few minutes. I do not lie. He will deny this in every way, but it is the gods honest truth. He is obsessed.



So here he is. Shining his shoes in front of the dining room window.

Laugh away folks, but this is my life. :)

In other news, I did an awesome baby shoot the other day and I'm working on those pics now... hopefull I'll get a sneak peek up soon!!!
