Whoo hoo!
Me on My Second Birthday
And just for fun, because I found these in a box together:
Me circa 1999
This reminds me, I know that I’ve mentioned that when I was in high school I wanted to be a fashion photographer, well now I remember that I also wanted to be a war photojournalist. There are some pretty gruesome photos up on my wall over my right shoulder. Good thing you can’t really see them. I was a pretty morbid teenager. I guess I’m still a little morbid.
Original name huh? Well, I didn’t want to get all cutesy, and the cutesy names that I thought of and liked were taken. So, there it is, my budding photography business name. Josh is working on the website. It is looking amazing! I’m super excited about it. He’s such an artist!
So, on to building a portfolio. As I mentioned last week my wonderful friends Kristy and Andrew, allowed me to shoot some maternity portraits for them a few weekends ago. I was beyond thrilled to do it because Kristy is model beautiful and thus is perfect to have in my portfolio.
So, without further ado, on to the photos:
I don’t think that there is much in the world that is more beautiful than a big pregnant belly! I kinda wish I had one all the time.
So, the hand heart thing is cheesy right? Yeah, I think so, they think so, but you just have to do it. It’s cheesy in that good way that makes it kinda cute and funny.
I had so many laughing shots of these two. They are just too much fun!
Also so gorgeous! This next shot is one of my favorites!
Also did I mention how beautiful Kristy is!
Such a model! She is amazing!
Some more fun cheesy shots! Love the baby blocks! I thought that might be a little too cheesy, but nope! I love them! So adorable! They will definitely be making an appearance in the Newborn Portraits!
The one below is my very favorite shot:
Have I mentioned how much I love a pregnant belly?!
Okay, I seriously could not have found a more beautiful pregnant woman for my first Maternity Portraits!
Oh, and Josh and Eleanor tagged along to play on the beach while we were shooting!
Overall, I’m happy with the images and I hope Kristy and Andrew are too! I’m definitely still learning and already have ideas of how to make my next shoot better. But I’m pretty pleased with my work so far!
Kristy and Andrew, thank you so much for letting me take your portraits and for being such great models! You are going to be amazing parents! Love you guys! Can’t wait to meet (and photograph!) your little girl!
Kristy is due in a week everyone!! Wish them luck !!
After a little break, Fabulous Friday is back! And so is my blonde hair:
Don’t get me wrong, I usually prefer dark hair, but I’m in the mood to be blonde again and I’m really enjoying it.
So, I think I’ll keep it around a little longer.
Happy Friday everyone! Have a great weekend!
