The Chuhta Family

1a The Chuhtas are very good friends of mine, and this is the 3rd time I have photographed them. This time it was different though, they have a new addition to the family…their whippet puppy “Arlo”.  We had tried for nearly a month to get a date together for photos they wanted outdoor shots, we were cutting it rather close and with their busy schedules it was nearly impossible. We figured we had missed the chance and would have to move the shoot indoors with the weather for the last few weeks in the 20’s/30’s.  December 1st finally worked out and the weather couldn’t be better!! It was in the 50’s!!! I don’t know what strings they pulled with mother nature but it was perfect!!

Xmas Card photo shoot

1a These kids are absolutely adorable, and so much fun!  They are both little models!! I met them at their home in Monroe. It was later in the afternoon the sun was going down so we didn’t have too much time. But they were both little troopers!! Everything I asked them to do they did, even though it was a really cold and windy November day. Never complaining even I wanted too… 🙂  we got so many great shots…I think mom got her Xmas card photo. 4a7c5a14a11a91716 20a23 64a5648474028345419

—Sneak Peek—

AOk had to share this right away! Love it! These two are adorable!  I think I got the Christamas card!!  More to come!

 

TA-DA!!

These photos are from  one of my photo shoots from a few months ago… This is a huge wall at the top of the stairs in Rose’s house,  just wasted wall space. She loved canvas art as I do and decided  these pictures would look great on canvas.  The top one is 34×23 and the three at the bottom are all 10×10’s!  They fit perfectly, and the space now went from wasted to focal point!  I LOVE IT! This came out perfect…What a great way to fill space…these photos can be seen as soon as someone walks through the front door!

This wall photo was taken with an IPhone, so the quality isn’t great…but you get the idea.

 

Soccer

k

OK So let me start by saying I am NOT a sports photographer…yet.  I still have a lot to learn, I have been practicing and reading on how and what needs to be done to catch the perfect shot.  It’s very difficult when you get into the game you are suppose to be photographing and instead of hitting the shutter, you are screaming at the top of your lungs in excitement.  This was a tournament that my son’s soccer team was in, they WON all games that weekend! I managed to get over a  100 good shots, for the families, but missed all the goals they made because I couldn’t stop watching them! 😉

Love Fall

1235451_578688808834222_146701519_nOK So fall is my favorite time of year for photos, as I am sure it is to most photographers…I mean come on look at all these amazing colors! This photo shoot took place on the most perfect fall day! The sun was shining, the weather was warm (for this time of year) and the kids…well…PERFECT!!! Yes it was challenging at times to chase around a 1 year old and a 4 year old, but SO WORTH it! I could not have asked for better shots.  These 2 are so darn cute, and some of my favorite shots of the day were ones where they weren’t even paying any attention to me 🙂  The photo shoot took only an hour but we managed to get over 100 amazing shots!  It was hard to pick just a few for the post…
