What a great day to stay inside to play for photos! When I left my place this morning it was nearly 40º with a light drizzle. By the time I approached Granville the temperature had fallen to the low 30′s and there was a thick flurry of snow. Nearly a year and a half ago I also visited this home to photograph these playful siblings. Their bedrooms looked pretty much the same, but their interests had changed so much (although smelly feet and monster roars were still a big hit all around). Miss A pulled up a song on her iPod that she created some dance moves to; Mr. A wanted to show me how to properly wrangle a steer; and little E. loved leafing through books and snuggling with her baby doll. I’m sure these are subtle changes when you’re near someone every day but, in my career, they’re miraculous transformations that seemingly occur overnight! 2 comments February 4, 2012 - 8:57 PM
Great photos of a terrific family! February 5, 2012 - 10:27 AM
I know those kids! How adorable. I spent the day with R, R and R for a lifestyle portrait session at their home. While the autumn is a great time for an entire family to get together for (slightly) more formal portraits, I’ve got to say that my heart is really happy when I’m photographing children during more casual moments of life. And this is certainly the perfect time of year for snuggly outfits, playing in bed and exploring the wonderful, magical indoors. It’s a world where a cardboard box transforms into a space shuttle, where monsters prowl near every doorway, and where chairs, pillows & toys line up on floors to make the world’s longest choo choo train! no comments 1 comment January 29, 2012 - 5:52 PM
I love this. 1 comment January 29, 2012 - 10:29 PM
oh my goodness! Amy, that is so cool that you are a featured mentor! I wasn’t sure what the even t was but it caught my eye because it is so close to my parent’s house. I would love to one day learn how to rally use my camera… whenever I shoot with my dslr (on auto still after 3 +years of owning it), it always makes me appreciate professional photographers, their talent, the art of it all. So happy for you!
Some days a walk in the woods can do so much good. There’s a transformative quality about the process, much like a baptism. You enter the forest with an unsettled mind, not entirely sure where you’re going and emerge, found, in the bright clearing. no comments 1 comment January 24, 2012 - 4:38 PM
Dear Amy & Ryan, Thank you for capturing and preserving and sharing Celia’s beauty. We treasure the pictures you have taken and I am happy to know that you’re not too far away… Twenty-something temperatures didn’t stop us from holding an outdoor senior portrait session around the Short North today. A. hopped in and out of his jacket between shots, and we stepped inside a couple of times to warm up. What I’ll remember most about this session is how the weather matched perfectly with A’s icy blue eyes: You could almost see right through them. I’ll also remember how he toughed it out for nearly an hour and a half. That shows me that he’s got a will and dedication- very important traits for a young man about to step out into the world and become a high school graduate! no comments
Oh, there are so many things I wish I could share! A lot is happening right now and this image reminds me of both the beauty and bitterness that the winds of change can bring. Ryan helped me capture this image just a few days ago; I couldn’t feel my legs after standing in the icy-cold water! I have another, more progressed image from this series, but am making it a point in 2012 to reserve some of my fine art portraiture for in-person viewing only (so it can be experienced up-close to include the details created in the printing/finishing process as well…digital images are incomplete works). You’ll just have to find us in person to see some of the one-of-a-kind pieces I’ve been working on! no comments |
