This Week's Studio Preview

Since I am playing catch up with my blog...some of my readers may not know that I now have a studio location! After some hard work by family and friends, we remodeled a studio on Main Street in Mt. Vernon. The hard work seems to be paying off as I am now finding myself there more and more! It is quite a balancing act trying to decide which is better suited for a photoshoot: natural light on location or in studio.

This week I have done a combination of both....an impromtu backyard shoot while visiting friend and then some in-studio work as well.

Every family has their story and this family is no different. In fact, meeting Earl and his family through friends in Ohio brought new meaning to the quote "it's a small world after all"! Because they have quite a few Rockcastle connections! Ashley is a bubbly, full of life young lady who wanted to share pictures with friends! Jonathan is a quiet young man that you would hardly know was on the place. It was fun taking a few minutes out to make a special memory!

Last night at the studio, we had back to back sessions! The first was to celebrate Addie at six months! This little sweetie will smile and smile...until you pick up a camera! Between the Harmonica Playing Raccoon and many lines of Shoo Fly, Don't ya bother me, we did try our best! We were cracking up but our little Miss was not so impressed! Oh, and let me tell you about her Big Sister, Allie! This little beauty was not much into taking pictures but she loved checking out the studio and entertaining herself while Mom and I was working with little Addie. She planted, watered and watched the Butterfly Garden set just grow and grow!

Then we had some special visitors. Camryn has visited the studio before being my "portrait ambassador" (a.k.a. guinea pig)! She is always a hoot with her little sassy poses and "am I showing too much teeth now?" over and over questions! And Parker, finally we got him to the studio for his first session! I am afraid we might be making camera shy already! It was the perfect shoot with him...he came full and happy and then had to have a wee nap which was ideal! :) Of course, every shoot has those "Wow! Did we catch that priceless moment?"

I think, all in all, it has been a pretty productive week and it is only Wednesday afternoon! So stay tuned for more previews plus RCHS Graduation and a long Memorial Day weekend with some very specials plans! More soon!
