sad but true

March 31, 2008

you would think that as a photographer that i would have 1000’s of pictures of my kids but for me its just not true. i think one of the problems is that its hard for me to take pictures if the ’scene’ and lighting is not perfect or the usable. its hard for me to switch hats and just take a picture for memory sake…which is why i have never used the camera feature on any of my phones over the years.

this is the last picture i took of jordyn and this was a while ago!

…and poor jayden, i haven taken pictures of him since his 1st birthday party…but its really not my fault anymore as he just won’t stay still for the camera anymore as he has better things to do like sneaking to eat a piece of chalk or running around the studio and etc.

these were the last ‘official’ images of jayden before he became a man.

i need to get jordyn down to the studio soon as the ‘kinfolks’ have been nudging me for some ‘mo’

….what’s a….who is a… ‘j kids’?

March 25, 2008

as i continue to shift my focus away from wedding to doing more seniors and now…children pictures! at first i was apprehensive about doing children (and i am still am) but after taking a step back and realizing that not all kids are nightmares i figured i would i would give my interpretation of what children images should look like.

i haven’t decided if the focus on kids pictures will be more infants, toddlers or just kids so expect a lot of changes going from here on out. the one thing i do know is that i don’t want to create images that are similar to some of the chain stores but something entirely different and unique. because of the directions i am going in, not everyone can be a ‘j kid’!

the determining factor will be how you dress your child. if you prefer to where barney inspired pants with elmo t-shirts to a photo session then ‘j kids’ may not be for you.
