Slacker

I've been a slacker about updating this blog. Mostly because I've started posting client previews on my Facebook page, where you can just click "share" and share your previews easily with friends and family. And, it got very, very busy around here and I just wasn't able to find time to update both Facebook and the Blog. So, if you want to see more recent photos, visit me on Facebook at www.facebook.com/outloudphotography. I promise to post here more often in the future and have an idea for a fun post in the very near future. But until then, I cannot post without a picture, so check out this cutie! I've been taking pictures of her since her first birthday and now she's a full grown kindergartener! I love watching my little clients grow up...

Getting Caught Up...Contest launching Soon!

I really wasn't kidding when I mentioned that I had been neglecting this blog. I was just going through some of my photos to see how many I had on Facebook but not here. There are a lot. Since I'm just an hour or so away from launching a contest on Facebook (for details check www.facebook.com/outloudphotography), I thought it was time to get things all caught up here on the blog.   And, if you are participating in the Facebook contest, I gave each of these photos a letter to help you out since they'll be more difficult to identify than photos that have their own posts.  So, without further ado, here are a whole lot of lovely families and kiddos that never made it to the blog:

Q.

One more of this family... I can't resist!  This picture is exactly why I got into photography.  To catch those moment of people just being themselves, when the love is just right there on the surface and so easy to see.  My favorite shots are the ones where I am able to catch a really authentic moment, and let people have that moment forever.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that this family is so adorable and awesome!

Graduation Time

So, I don't post to the blog as much as I used to because I put everything on my Facebook page now.  But I am trying very hard to get back into updating the blog as well for those of you who do not follow me on Facebook.  (And if you don't, you should!  I will be putting up some Facebook specials, contests, coupons, etc. in the future)

So, on Sunday I had the chance to go and do a Senior Portrait and Family photo session for Malia (and her parents).  It was so much fun!  I think by the end of the session, everyone was smiling at least 75% and we were all getting some good laughs.  Thanks for inviting me to do this session for you!

Fields of Gold

These two littles came out early, early to wander out into one of the awesome wildflower fields we get here in the springtime.  They are both just adorable - enjoy the previews!

Another Elf Adventure

Timothy likes Sushi.

Some Fun...

I've been posting a lot of session previews on Facebook rather than the blog lately because it's faster and lets me get previews to folks sooner.  But I'll be posting more here now that the holiday rush has come to a close.

Since things have been so quiet here lately, I thought I would share a few pictures of our Elf, Timothy.  He's had an adventurous year so far...

Elf Relaxation





Elf?  What Elf?  There's no one here but us snowmen...





Super Elf!

Laughing Sunflower

This session was fun.  Fun, fun, fun!  Little Lady is adorable and hilarious - she had me laughing the whole time.  AND she brought her Halloween costume and we got to see her as an adorable little sunflower.   It was great to start my day with such a truly enjoyable session!

(PS - Holiday Mini-Sessions are now available - check here for details and to book.  These fill up quickly, so book early!)

And now for the unbearable cuteness....

 

Little Man

This little man is just adorable!!  It's hard to believe it has been 3 years already since I was photographing his big brother when he was born.  This little guy did such an awesome job for his session - and it was hard hard choosing just a few previews!  I hope you enjoy them - thank you for the session!

Double the Cute!

These boys are so stinkin' cute.  They came to their session determined not to smile.  But with the powerful efforts of a team of adults - 2 sets of grandparents, their parents, and me - we got some smiles.        And they have the cutest baby squish, and baby pudge smiles.  Such adorable little boys and a lovely family to work with!  Thanks so much for the session - I hope that you enjoy your previews!

Funny Guys!

These two boys are hilarious!  They both had me laughing the whole time.  Mom picked an awesome location with tons of color and a lot of really fun spots to shoot.  Such a fantastic session - I had a great time!  Thanks so much for coming out on Sunday!

Meet Baby E...

This sweet little girl was such a fantastic model for her session!  She's just as cute and sweet as can be.   I love how perfect the look on her face is in the second shot - she looks so wonderfully content!  And, big brother had me laughing through the session, too.  He's a funny little guy with some pretty sweet dance moves.  I hope you enjoy your previews - thank you for having me over!







And one of big brother....

I LOVE, love, love when I get to take photographs for friends and family. This session was for my son's preschool teacher, who is just so fantastic! She had my little guy for a full year and not only helped guide him and teach him, but also gave me sound guidance on what to expect and how to relate to a 4 year old. She was a fantastic preschool teacher, and now that my son has moved on to kindergarten, we'll miss her! BUT, it thrilled me to be able to do these photos for her family because of all she has done for us over the past year.

 Anyway, so she and her husband have a sweet little boy on their hands! He was so calm and settled for his session - he gave me huge smiles, snuggly baby faces and LOADS of cuteness! Thanks so much to you both for inviting me to your home for little man's newborn photos - I hope that you like them!

Hello Again, Ladybug!

I say it every time, but she's just so darn adorable! I am having the hardest time narrowing down which photos to preview from her 9 Month old session, so I'm going to share 3 - I couldn't choose. I love how in this one she looks like she just heard the funniest joke ever, and she's about to bust out laughing.

Fun Family

I had such a great time with this family! They were awesome when we had to change session locations on the fly, due to an event at the Capitol. Thanks for being such an awesome family to work with! I hope you enjoy this preview!

Perfection

Look at this little man - he's just perfect! And he was a total champ for his session. We got through pretty much the entire session without a single cry. There are so many fantastic shots, I had a really hard time deciding which ones to preview. Thanks so much for letting me photograph your little man - I hope you enjoy your previews!
