Because I know the mama of these two little beauties is probably faunching at the bit for a little peek of what we captured last night…I am sharing a couple! I have many, many more to look through and more to post as well, but these two caught my eye right off the bat!
This is big sis. Isn’t she a doll? She is almost four and a total sweetheart! Once she warmed up to me we were total buds! I have tons and tons of shots of her…we were doing her four year portraits and she was totally working it! I love how she is just barely biting her bottom lip in this! It shows so much personality!
Now, her little sister on the other hand was anything BUT loving me or my camera! She wanted absolutely nothing to do with me and if I tried to sneak in to steal a shot, it only made her cry harder! Poor thing. I hope she wasn’t totally traumatized by the time she got home!
Photography is made up of endless rules. Exposure, lighting, coloring, shadows…the list goes on and on as far as what is “technically correct” and what isn’t. But, photography is also an art. I may like Monet but the next person might not be too fond of his style. Same with photos and editing. I obviously have a very distinct style. I love it, but others may not. And that’s cool…that is art.
So take a look at this shot. I LOVE IT. I love everything about it! The lighting on her face is very uneven, but that is what makes it so eye-catching…in my opinion anyway! See that shadow of her sweet little curl on her sweet little face? If the light were even, that wouldn’t be there…and then this image wouldn’t have quite the character that it does! I love the moodiness of this for sure!
Mom, as you know, there are tons more to come! I hope you enjoy these and they can hold you over until I have some more edited and ready to share! Thanks for making the long trek to see me! It was so nice to finally meet you! And I am sure if comes as no surprise that I have TONS more to say as well, but want to save it for the big post!
So for now, Happy Monday!

OOOOhhhhhh….. I’m in love with these!! They’re awesome… Love that little sister’s dress matches your vintage style! So fun! Thank you Bethany for such a fun photo session. You are short of fabulous! XOXO
Beautiful photos! Again, lovely job!!!
Bethany – I totally agree with you on the photography being an art! I love the pictures and also love the little pieces here and there that you point out! The fact that the shadow never even crossed my mind until you pointed it out. I looked at the entire picture and saw the overall picture as it all flows together, not just the little shadow here or something else there! I love your work! Great Job!
I, for one, really love your style
Can’t wait to see more!
Adorable pictures! You did a great job!
When are you going to move back to Kansas so you can photograph my kids?! HA HA!!!
The pictures are great!!! You are an amazing photographer, and you are right the 2nd picture would not be the same without the shadow of that precious curl on her face.
