Project 52 | Week 15 | Elizabethtown PA Children Photographer

Tuesday, April 17th, 2012

This week’s Project 52 theme was “work.” So for my submission to the Lancaster County Meet Up Group’s weekly photo pool I chose to take my daughter out and photograph her. Two of my jobs together. Being a mom and a photographer. The “work” part comes in every time I combined these two jobs. My daughter has a horrible case of “Photographer’s Child Syndrome.” Everytime the camera comes out she looks a little something like this…

But then she decided to cooperate for just a few shots. I think she secretly even had a little bit of fun :)

Project 52 | Week 14 | Lancaster Child Photographer

Saturday, April 7th, 2012

This week’s theme for the 52 week project I am participating in with the Lancaster Meet Up group is “fools.” Really, there are two fools here. My son who is acting like a fool and me, thinking that dressing them all up would make them actually put their arms around each other, look at me and smile. They have got “photographer’s child syndrome” bad!

In reality I did get some shots with good cooperation (these two will do anything for chocolate.) I will share those with you as soon as I am done editing the session!

 

Project 52 | Week 13 | Elizabethtown PA Baby Photographer

Monday, April 2nd, 2012

This week’s theme for the 52 week project I am participating in with the Lancaster County Meet Up group is “excitement.” I figured with having a little guy here for a cake smash, I was bound to get some shots of him being excited over his cake. Turns out he was way more excited about the carrots I gave him for his Easter bunny shots :)

More from his first birthday session coming up!

Project 52 | Week 12 | Lancaster Child Photographer

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

What a beautiful week full of gorgeous weather we had last week! Perfect timing for Project 52′s “spring” theme. My little guy turned two this week and thanks to going past his due date (March 19) he was a spring baby instead of a winter baby :) So he gets the spotlight this week. Here he is enjoying the spring weather in the new sandbox he got for his second birthday. Gosh I love this kid! Happy Birthday little man!

Project 52 | Week 11 | Elizabethtown Child Photographer

Thursday, March 22nd, 2012

This week’s theme for the 52 week project I am participating in with the Lancaster Meet Up group is “organized.” I had to look past my own belongings because I am so not organized and focus on the kids’ stuff. I found these little stacking bowls and thought they would make a nice little subject. I took a few shots of them from all sorts of angles trying to make them look interesting. Then my kids asked if they could play with them and I found the shots I took of them doing the organizing were much more exciting than the bowls alone :)

Project 52 | Week 10 | Lancaster Family Photographer

Wednesday, March 14th, 2012

This week’s theme for my 52 week project is “underneath.” I wasn’t sure what I was going to do for it until I saw it was going to be in the 70′s today. I packed the family up and we headed to the park where I had my husband give the kids a few “underdogs” on the swings. Ah…sweet childhood! My husband was dressed a little more “portrait-like” before we left, but he used his long sleeved shirt to wipe the water off of the slides from last night’s rain. He was a hero to all, so I will forgive him for his t-shirt ;)

Project 52 | Week 9 | Elizabethtown PA Baby Photographer

Monday, March 5th, 2012

Here we are at week 9 of the 52 week project I am participating in with the Lancaster County Meet Up group. This weeks theme was “vegetables.” So exciting, right? I strive to always have a person incorportated with the theme (I am after all a portrait photographer) so as soon as I saw the theme I knew what I wanted to do. Luckily this little guy was scheduled for his cake smash this week and his mama let me have a little fun :) You will be seeing more of him in a future post.

Project 52 | Week 8 | Elizabethtown, PA Photographer

Friday, February 24th, 2012

This week’s theme for my 52 week project that I am doing with the Lancaster County Meet Up Group is “self portrait.” I knew I wanted to do some type of reflection shot, simply because I do not have a remote shutter release for my camera and I didn’t think trying to do a self portrait with the self timer would end well. So as I thought of all of the different reflective surfaces I could use, my husband’s “cop shades” seemed the most interesting.

I like this shot because it shows our two different personalities quite well. This is my husband’s happy face. It’s also his sad, mad, tired, annoyed, surprised and serious face. You look at him and can never quite be sure what he’s feeling. Then there’s me. You can read me like a book.

Project 52 | Week 7 | Elizabethtown Child Photographer

Saturday, February 18th, 2012

The very fitting theme for this week’s Project 52 was “romance.” I wanted to do this shot with an adult woman instead of my little one so it fit the theme better (my 3 year old better not have any romantic feelings towards any boys yet!) but I didn’t have a model. I also thought about making my husband do it, but thought that might look a little strange too. So here you have it.  Check out the Lancaster County Meetup’s Flickr group for more takes on this week’s theme.

I Heart Faces | Hearts | Elizabethtown Newborn Photographer

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

This week’s challenge at www.iheartfaces.com is “hearts.” What an appropriate challenge for Valentine’s Day! My entry is of this sweet newborn. We’ve got hearts on the wall, heart buttons on her hat, and candy hearts on the floor! And I’m pretty sure she’s already stolen her daddy’s heart :)
