This past week I photographed little Preston. It was our second shoot with him. You can see the first one from last year here. As with the first shoot he was great to work with. He did an awesome job and was really into the photos. He never really got bored and wanted to stop. We had a good time out at Water Works Park and you can check out a few of our favorites below.
Ashley photographed little Karly in Valley Junction. As we've mentioned, Valley Junction has been really popular this fall and has provided some of our best photos of the year. Baby photo shoots in urban areas around buildings always reminds me of Baby's Day Out or Look Who's Talking...not sure why. Makes me laugh. Karly is six months old and you can tell she's thinking about getting moving real soon. Movement and walking changes everything with photo shoots. You become a chaser at that point. Shoot a ton and capturing them having a good time. Check out a few of our favorites below.
Last weekend I had some early Thanksgiving thankfulness. I was extremely thankful for nice weather. Unfortuneatly due to sickness in the Nuzum house, I had to cancel the originally scheduled engagement shoot for Carolyn and Kamron. It was a rainy miserable day, sickness to boot. So fortunetly for the reschedule it was a beautiful fall day. We shot mostly downtown and a few quickones in Water Works Park. Even downtown, if you hit the right locations, you can find a little fall color. These two will be married next year in Eastern Iowa and we can't wait. Below are a few of our favorites from the session.
Ashley recently photographed Max, Zoey, Mom, and Dad out at Water Works Park, another popular location this time of year. These two are incredibly easy to photograph and are extremely comfortable in front of the camera. They made the entire shoot a breeze. We also photographed them last year downtown near the Science Center when that old building was still just to the north east of the science center(see those here). That building is now gone, but the many photos we took in that area will live on. Check out some of our favorites from this shoot below.
We've shot photos of Kara, Nick, and Eleanor in the past and recently as well. We also had the recent opportunity to photograph Kara's extended family. The great variable in any photo shoot is the kids. Ages 0-2 you can pretty much count on to have a good time and have some fun. 3-5 tends to be a little more reluctant. 6-12 can't wait to get home to video games or the likes. 13 and over....well, they have better things to do....clearly. This group had kids in the lower ranges and for the most part were great to work with. We mixed in a couple fun jump photos to loosen things up and we got what we were looking for. Below are a few of our favorites.
We have been shooting a lot in Valley Junction. If you caught us in Juice earlier this year you know that this is one of our favorite locations. There are so many different types of backgrounds that we can use quickly. When you are photographing kids it is important to get the shots you are looking for and wrap things up before their time bomb goes off and you're done.
We photographed Eleanor earlier this year when she was six months. She is now 1 year old and Ashley photographed her in Valley Junction last week. She is great in front of the camera. The weather has been fantastic this fall and we have been able to put together some fantastic outdoor photo shoots. Below are a few of our favorites
