studio portraits

tonight, we had a BLAST in the studio. taylor and her roommate from college, brooke, came home for the weekend and they were gracious enough to volunteer their time while i tried out some new lighting set ups. sooo much fun and there were WAY too many good images! i seriously could post 50+. on the first pass, the images SCREAMED for black and white (i'll post some color images over the next few days as well). these girls are just so darn beautiful, not to mention sweet and funny. and they tolerated (and maybe even enjoyed) the 80's music i played!

model call!!!!

Oaks & Acorns is currently conducting a model call! Specifically, we're in search of boys or girls between the ages of 6 and 12 to serve as models while we try out new equipment, locations, and techniques. Sessions are free of charge and will last approximately 1 hour at a location of our choosing (this may either be on location or in studio). As a thank you, you'll receive 15% off any images you order from the session. Please contact me asap as we'll only be booking models in this age group for the next 4 weeks.

Thanks!

finally picking up the camera again...

i'm finally over the hump with all the christmas orders and i've been itching to pick up the camera again... so i met up with kim over at mill cottage to play with the girls... note that eiley has a big red spot on her forehead in most of the images.... yeah, she took a header in the studio twice and i decided to leave it in because it is such a great reminder of this just learning to walk age...






and then for some fun... here's a snapshot of malin at dance class... she dressed herself this day... note all the other girls in pink and my little girl looks like she's ready for sparklemotion (you get something special if you get this reference!)

hey everyone... so for the first post here, i thought i'd show off the spawn.

kim over at mill cottage photography has gone above and beyond in letting me play in her studio and showing me how the big kids take pictures. while i was there a few days ago, we decided what better way to entertain ourselves than to put a couple of those fabulous zooni hats on the girls and confirm what we already knew... that they are, in fact, the cutest hats ever. so here are the results...
