If you are wondering if I like photographing toddlers, just look at these photos and you’ll know the answer! We had SO much fun! Despite the chilling cold weather, we made the best of this outdoor photo session and the boys quickly forgot about their tingly fingertips.  The boys were surprised with everything I pulled from my “prop” bag. It kept them interested and wanting more!

I need to first start off by saying, I just LOVE this little girl!  Not in just a cutesie kind of way either, but more in the way that it makes me want to have a third child.  She is so darling and when she smiles, her whole entire face lights up.  We had a ton of fun taking photos, trying on goofy hats and laughing at each other!

Courtney and Ben are so much fun and it’s hard not to laugh when you’re around them. I had the pleasure of shooting their engagement photos including their adorable daughter, Peyton! She stole my heart right away with those big brown eyes and gleaming smile. Thanks for a fun morning!

This wasn’t going to be your normal senior photo shoot, we were all going to hop on our horses and head off onto the trail for a little trail ride first. Then stop along the way here and there and take a ton of photos….but the rain prevented all of this from happening. So instead, we met up at Clackamette Park in Oregon City (where it wasn’t raining), pulled the horses out, got prettied up, and I shot away! I’m so glad it worked out, and we didn’t have to cancel.

Recently, Alphabetix featured a post about why its important for businesses to blog.  They decided to feature Velocity Shots as an example of a blog that demonstrates field knowledge.   Here’s how I do it.  When I write a blog post, I like to tell a little story about the people or animals I photograph and the location of choice.  I also like to include the lighting conditions I’m working with to determine the best exposure for each shot.  Here’s an example of how I write a blog post about equine photography.
