Burlington, IA Christmas Parade

My son, Bryce, and I drove down to Burlington on Saturday, November 28th to hang out with my sister, Michelle, and her girlfriend, Kara. While we were there, we went to the annual Burlington lighted Christmas parade. We had a ton of fun!!

QC Eccentric passes away

Anyone who grew up around the QC area has either seen the lady with the white face,  or has at least heard stories  about her.
If you are not from this area, or are one of the few who don't know about her, Martha Davis was a black woman who would paint her face white (ghost white) every day.
Here is a link to the QC Times article written about her.

"A true photograph need not be explained,

                                   nor can it be contained in words."

Meet Rowan.

" A new baby 

is like the beginning 

of all things -

wonder, 

hope, 

a dream of possibilities."

~ Eda J Leshan ~

Sunday, Novermber 15th I took on the challenge of my very first newborn photo session.

Rowan was born on November 6th, 2009.

What I learned from this shoot:

• Newborns are a lot harder to photograph than older babies
• Plan on taking many, many shots to get the perfect one
• Allow extra time for the photo shoot for diaper changes, feedings, and for mom or dad to comfort their little one when he/she is crying
• Use only natural lighting- open the blinds and curtains and let the sunshine in!!
• Turn up the heat!! Moms and Dads love portraits of their little one bare-bottomed. Keeping the little one warm is a top priority- even if that means everyone else in the place is sweating!

I will be following little Rowan for the next year, taking photos when he turns 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and again for his 1 year portraits.
