Archive for January, 2011
I decided back in November that January would be my month off from shooting sessions so that I could focus on the business aspects of The Salted Image. I am quite happy to admit that I am 100% caught up on past sessions and I am ready for the new year and the big changes that I have in store .
If you have been to any photography blogs or forums, then no doubt you have seen a “Project 52″ post. This is when photographers purpose to shoot and post an image each week from a pre-decided theme or category. Well several photographers and I decided we didn’t want to be left out of the madness and are starting our Project 52 a bit late. The First theme was “Self Portrait”. Not fun. I think most photographers prefer to be behind the camera and I the most. The experience has made me a bit more empathetic and compassionate to my clients!
My initial concept was to balance a stack of books on my head in a witty and quirky manner but alas, my balance is not that good and focus is HARD when you are not behind the camera!
I gave up on the balancing after one try and decided to balance my head on the book instead. Here is the image I disliked the least…
The next was Dustin’s favorite and I will admit that it took all my self control to not liquefy the heck out of it…
Now go check out the ridiculously gorgeous Vikki’s images and feel free to join in the fun with some self-portraits of your own!
Landry had been enjoying life a month outside the womb when Her mom, Kenna, set up her session. We did a second session 5 days later and she had already changed noticeably. Babies loose their “newborness” pretty quickly, so it is ultra important to get a session as soon as you feel able. Within the first two weeks is ideal.
Now it has been quite awhile since I shot a newborn session and I really enjoy the challenge that this type of session offers. We spent several hours working with Landry and it was well worth the effort…
I knew I loved Kenna when she reacted with a fist pump to the air when I asked if her and Bob were interested in seeing Clash of the Titans with us several months ago. Seriously, she is that cool.
Bob is now the proud Papa of three beautiful girls.
I just couldn’t decide which was my favorite of the next two, which is yours?
Little Landry gave me total baby fever! What a sweet girl and an awesome family. Kenna and Bob thanks for your easy going and mellow attitudes you all were such a pleasure to work with! I am very much looking forward to your next session and getting to you know you all better!
