Newborn

These are from a newborn session I did a couple of months ago! Isn't she just GORGEOUS?

Sweet little boys!

I met a good friend of mine the other day to take some pics of her two little cuties! The youngest sat perfectly still and posed like a champ... the older one was faster than lightning! It was so much fun and I questioned whether I had gotten any pics of both boys smiling, but alas! I think there is one. :) Angie- hope one of these was worth it for ya! Thanks for letting me practice on your precious little boys! (P.S. I don't mean for there to be more of Brady, but he just sat there with those big blue eyes calling to me while you chased Luke...:)

This next one just looked so "Baby GQ" to me- too cute!

and lastly, my ABSOLUTE, hands-down favorite!

Thanks everyone for the feedback on my last posts- I love hearing from everyone!

Maternity Session #1

Okay, I think it went pretty well for being the first maternity session I've ever done. Girls- try to not hate Nikki. It's not her fault she is almost 37 weeks pregnant and is just now wearing maternity clothes. Nor is it her fault she still has the skinniest legs and face (how is it possible she is not swollen yet? I started to swell at 28 weeks. *don't be bitter, don't be bitter*) As I was saying. Try to not hate her for being at the end of her third trimester, and still being freakishly small and cute...

More Sun Flares!

Thanks to Nikki for being a good sport and laying flat on your back in a field (full term, mind you) until I got a good shot, and thanks to Rach for meeting me with the rocking chair and being my slave-child.

Sun Flares...

Hello Friends!

Welcome to my new blog! I'm going to be posting any photo shoots I do (along with any practicing as is the case here...) so check back often! This is not going to be a blog dedicated to the amazing wonder that is Lorelai (not that she won't be making cameos), so check my other blog for that! Hope everyone enjoys!

Oh, and if you haven't figured it out yet, the unofficial name of the business is

Deliberately Chic Photography

Here's the first post!

Sun Flares

I had a chance yesterday to practice catching sun flares with Rachel...it was alot of fun to actually be able to practice different skills without have to chase my subject! Here's my first attempts at sun flares...

I think this last one is my favorite!

The only difficult part was lighting up Rachel's face enough without upping my ISO to it's highest point (which is what I ended up having to do for most of these....which is why most of them look a little grainy.) If I had a tripod I could have lowered my shutter speed to compensate, but alas, I do not own a tripod. I'll have to try a little earlier in the day next time so that it isn't quite so dark.

Here are some fun pictures we took while we were getting ready for my cousin Nikki to get there (just to clarify, we got there early, she wasn't late...)

Rachel is truly the perfect model. She knows what I'm talking about when I tell her to make certain faces or gaze off into the distance, deep in thought (hehehe.) The trick is she does it without a dramatic, unrealistic flare. She is good. And, um, hello....gorgeous.

You can expect to see alot of her on this blog.

Next up (later today) : Maternity shoot with Nikki!

Peace Out,
