OK…..finally getting around to posting about the different kind of photography that I offer and just happen to love the most….portraits and lifestyle! I am sure most know the difference, but I didn’t really know or “see” the difference for a long time….(way before I started into photography anyways). Hopefully this post will clarify the difference and give you a little bit more of an idea about the kind of photography I offer!

Portrait photography is when the subject is posing for you in some way….now don’t get me wrong, I am NOT a photographer that is going to sit you or your child in a chair, lick my fingers and fix your hair, and tell you to say cheese 50 times like this poor little kid…….

dont’ worry he’s mine….I wont’ torture yours as much…..

But I will try and get you to smile or look at me by saying different silly things or making different noises….

Sometimes I will get “the stare”…which sometimes turn out to be my favorite…………

or sometimes I will get silly grins….looking at me or someone else…..which also sometimes turn out to be some of my favorite….

and sometimes I will get photos like this….big gooey drool photos….too cute!

Sometimes I will use a backdrop so it looks a little more like studio work….

And sometimes it will just be a photo right in your living room…..

What I love most about portrait photography is capturing different faces that you see everyday….faces that tell all about their personality….faces you don’t want to forget…..

Lifestyle photography is all about capturing “life”…..poses that are not planned out….just captured as they are happening…….daily life, regular interactions, moments that memories are made of……and the best thing about them is the story they tell…..

Sometimes I will just sit back and watch you intereact with your children…or your children interact with each other…or a dog, a favorite toy, a favorite game, etc…….and take photos as “life” unfolds right before my eyes….or rather my camera lens!

And sometimes I will take a photo and you won’t even know I am taking it!

Well, that pretty much sums it up for now. Hopefully, I helped clarify the difference and not create any confusion…

Stay tuned next week……..I will be going over how I combine portrait and lifestyle photos to make you your own personal photo storyboard! They are just too cool! Until then…..have a super great weekend!!!

Is it ironic that this little girl’s daddy is a plumber????? I think so….hee hee hee

Happy Monday!

I’m still here! Since the business launch party I have been swamped. The week prior to the party I finished up not one, but two! online photography classes. Then scrambled to get ready for the party. Then had a little break from all the chaos. And now it’s catch up time before my next online class starts. Hopefully, in the next week or so I will be posting samples of my storyboards…which I absolutely LOVE! And also posting some examples of my portrait versus lifestyle photography.

Hope everyone is enjoying this amazing weather….finally some sunshine! Time f0r all sleepy bears to wake up! Spring is finally here!

Just wanted to send out a HUGE THANK YOU! to our family and friends that came to the business launch party on Saturday! It was so good to see all of you and I really appreciate the support!!! Many thanks to Perky Mama’s and Vinny’s for letting me host the party there and also many thanks to those that let me borrow their products they have purchased from me so I could showcase them! Super cool! Thank you again everyone!
