Jason & Kerstin Christmas pictures


The lighting was so beautiful for their pictures. I was able to play around a little bit with the lens flare and I am quite pleased.













Some say that Jason is really connected with the camera (picture below) in this photo but it looks awesome! Thankfully Kerstin had trust in me when I asked if she would lay on the ground!



I couldn't decide which of the next 3 I liked so here's a series.

Pictures of Us

When I was taking Jason and Kerstin's Christmas card pictures, I asked Kerstin if she would take a few of us since we don't really have a whole lot of pictures. I tried to pose ourselves and tell her where to stand but it's hard to try and visualize what it will look like. She did a great job and I'm thankful she was willing to do it for us.




And one of just me.


1,000

I can't believe it. I have hit the 1,000 marker in views at my blog!!!! And in only about 2 weeks of having put the counter on. Thank you to everyone for your support and cute families! Just because I've made the 1,000 marker doesn't mean you can stop looking....I've got to make to 5,000.

Trinity


Well if you go back to my "Cutest Little Boy-Wesley" post you are looking at his cute little sister. Can you believe a six week old with this much hair! She is so darn cute and strong! She was able to lift her head up for so long and just look all around. The above picture is one of my favorite newborn shots. When I someday get my official studio this picture will probably be hung up somewhere. I hope I will get to photograph her again!


















Clara

Here is sweet baby Clara. This is my manager's new little baby. Not only is she cute but their other little girl Elizabeth even though she didn't really want to sit still, I luckily got a few pictures of her looking at me. It was a nice change to do some newborns!




Two Families


The above picture is one of my favorite family shots. I think it's just because she looked right at me with this big cute smile while the parents are just adoring their sweet child. These two families were fun to shoot. I'm glad that they found this cute spot to shoot and thankful for the owners of the building to let us shoot. Lately I've heard thought that sometimes it's easier to ask for forgiveness rather than permission but I just don't dare to take the risk all of the time. Sometimes I don't ask and have had people jump over fences in a field. Oh well, I am very happy with the shoot and hope that the families enjoy their pictures!




I realized I haven't posted any Christmas cards that I have made up so here is one format.
