Columbia Photo Shoot with the Kroeze Family

Part of the reason I love what I do is because I get to meet some of the nicest and neatest people, and this was definitely the case with the Kroeze family.  This was a great photo shoot!  I especially enjoyed meeting Emily and Addison.  TALK ABOUT CUTE!!!  These girls were not only very photogenic, but these girls were full of life and personality.  They were so much fun to photograph. These are a few of my personal favorites from the shoot.  Enjoy!

Fun with Friends

So here is the deal, once I received my new "floors" and started making and collecting new props, I was anxious to do a photo shoot to utilize it all.  My friend Theresa was fantastic.  I asked if I could use her family as models and she of course said yes.  It was  fun shoot.  Not only did I get to spend time with a wonderful friend, I got some great pictures out of it. 
   The camera I normally use was at the shop.  I had lost a focusing screen out of it.  I used my old rebel for this shoot, and unfortunately my old rebel does not connect to the strobes I have.  I have always favored natural light anyway, and that is what was used for these pictures.

I think we photographed the baby first... he was cute.  He has the most adorable cheeks!!  He did a good job.  I didn't get very many shots where he was smiling, but that was okay.  I find I really like his contemplative expression. 













His older brother was a lot of fun to photograph as well.  He hammed it up a bit more than his younger brother. 









It really is not fair for one family to have so many photogenic children!  The girls were great little models.  They were absolutely adorable.  Both girls were so easy to instruct and they seemed to have a lot of fun.  The youngest was especially fun.. she loves the camera, and boy does the camera love her!
