Awwwwwwwwwwwww

That's the only title I could think of for this blog post. When I look at this cute little face and those amazing blue eyes I can only say "Awwwwwwwwwww!"



This little guy is my grammar school friend Nicole's baby. I took him at 2 months old (Christmas photos) and I wanted to take him again for his 8 month portraits.

I drove to meet them at Villanova University yesterday even though it was about 100 degrees. We desperately tried to find all the shady spots and I ended up getting so many great photo ops of baby and baby & mom.





Even grandma got in a couple shots and I'm so pleased how the 50mm lens performed for all of the shots!





There were so many that I love but I'm still editing them slightly and I may share more soon.

L-O-V-E

Couldn't resist sharing these beautiful moments before I went to bed:

Ummmm...Yeah...I Have Too Much Stuff!

I got my new rolling suitcase for all of my photography equipment today. And shortly after filling the bag to it's capacity...I realized....I have too much STUFF!

LOOK AT THIS SUITCASE! It's full! If I buy anything else I will have to start hauling my equipment on a donkey cart (as my pal George from the UK said).



And that's not the end of the equipment...yes, there is more! It's taken over the corner of this room. How many backpacks, cases, or bags does one girl need (apparently many!). The backpacks shown are not full but they do serve various purposes (depending up where & what I'm doing) so I have deemed them all necessary.

The tall bags in the back hold my backdrop "stuff" and my lighting/tripod "stuff" (all necessary as well).



Honestly, what you see here is very organized (organized being my middle name and all). I've actually helped myself tremendously to bring my traveling circus down to the rolling suitcase and 2 long bags (and a step stool sometimes) so this should make "on-location" photography a bit easier to handle all of the equipment. Thank goodness for "crossover" vehicles!!

I guess I can't buy anymore equipment unless I find more room for it..."hey wait! didn't that one bag have a little room left??" *giggles*

JuJu

More from Erin & Noel's wedding.

Lil "JuJu" is so super cute. I had to give him his own blog post.

Such a little man in his tuxedo!

It's all in the details

More from Erin & Noel's wedding.

Noel didn't see Erin before the wedding and I decided rather than going straight to the reception hall where he was that I'd love to get photos of Erin getting ready before he saw her for the big moment!

We went to her mom's house and I captured all of the little details that make the day so special...it's all in the details!

Camera Phone Sillyness

Nothing new right now...been editing the candids from Erin's wedding and whipping through them as fast as my hands can move in Photoshop.

Since I don't have anything I feel like sharing at this second I was looking through some random pics on my computer and I just realized how many camera phone photos I take at Tiffany's hair salon.

Seems that every time I get my hair done there I snap photos while I'm sitting at the mirror or right after to capture my "new do"...it just made me laugh... I guess this is what I do for entertainment...take photos with any available camera? What's next a camera on my key chain? LOL.

The Fam

Erin and Noel's wedding...

Erin was interested in seeing some of the family shots to share with friends and family so I jumped over to a few of those tonight for editing.

Oh my goodness! Look at those eyes! Isn't he so adorable??

The shady area with the sun peaking through made conditions tough but I think these worked out well. I liked them natural color but also with a few actions thrown in.






I love little Ruby in this one with her hands behind her back. So cute and what a personality!!

More at Sunset

More from Erin & Noel's wedding...

I love this one of Erin & Noel. I climbed onto the fence next to them with my camera (I know I'm a nut) to get them from a little higher up. I like how they are looking out into the field where the sunset was.




This is my favorite part of the whole night...so glad we had this opportunity. I'm taking my time on this set of photos since they are my favs and I'm doing multiple edits of each shot to give Erin and Noel a variety of effects to choose from. Normally I would only do one type of edit for each for something like this but since I love these so much I want to do a variety to see what works best.

Soon I will be done with this portion of the photos and will be moving onto the formal portraits after the ceremony, then the ceremony, and then the candids. The candid edits should move very quickly since they will mostly be in color and don't need a lot of editing.
