Cute Baby Alert │Ottawa, Kansas Photographer

There are times I really hate dragging my big camera around. But if I've learned anything, it's that the day I leave it at home, that will be the day I miss a good photo opportunity. It never fails.

Lucky for me, I learn my lessons quickly. Sometimes.


Because I just happened upon this little doll at our homeschool park day last week. Her mom graciously allowed me to post them here.

I think I need some more babies to photograph.

I've been playing with some new (to me) techniques. I love the look of the faded black and white with a little bit of color pop. It's very artsy and classy and makes me feel all googly inside.

My little guy taking time to smell the flowers makes me feel a little googly inside, too.

More Dancing Photos!

This will be the last preview for this shoot before I put up the gallery. Check my gallery site in the next couple days to see all the photos from this shoot!

Dancers!

I had so much fun taking pictures for a local dance studio yesterday. I tried to be inconspicuous, but being 6 ft tall with a camera as close to the dancers as I could get without getting kicked or twirled into isn't the easiest thing ever.

Anyway, here's the first batch of previews. I have tons of favorite shots already and I haven't even made a chunk in the massive amount of photos I took...so stay tuned for more dance photos.

And if there seems like a lot of feet shots in this first batch, it's because I wasn't sure what I could post when I was editing last night and went with the safe bet to start with.

More of my favs from Toni's shoot │Ottawa Kansas Photographer

I had so much fun working on these photos! I'm really loving this vintage action I found for free from http://coffeeteaphotography.blogspot.com.

I think I might actually be slightly addicted to taking people's pictures. I find when I'm done editing a session, I'm a little bummed and ready for my next fix.

Toni's Shoot

My friend from work wanted me to shoot some photos of her to give her dad. I told her that so far, in my short career as a portrait photographer, everyone has been making it way easy on me as far as being so natural in front of the camera. I barely had to direct her at all! And Toni's a huge fan of black and white, so you know that just makes me giddy.

These are all I have done processing so far...more to come.

Thanks Toni! (sorry about the wind! but I think it did work for us after all)
