Best gift for a photographer’s kid? The same camera he had as a kid! A Mickey Mouse 110 Film Camera!

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

We walked outside today to find a package on our doorstep. Written in crayon were the addresses. “Sweet! A baby gift from Betty!”

Sidenote: Betty is our photographer friend who is our go-to when we need photos of us. She kinda rocks. Well, more than kinda. She rocks a lot!

Proof of that? We opened the box to find a gift that went straight to my heart. If you ever hear my “How did you get into photography?” story, it starts when I was about 5 and my parents bought me a blue Mickey Mouse 110 film camera while on family vacation at Disney World. I feel like I almost sent our family into bankruptcy buying film and making prints. There started my love for making photographs.

The box contained a PINK Mickey Mouse 110 film camera JUST LIKE MINE!!! I mean the exact one! I couldn’t believe it.

I am proudly displaying this in Eliana’s room. And only a few more days until she gets here!

The Goldstone Family Lifestyle Photo Session in Savannah

Tuesday, November 8th, 2011

The cuteness was almost too much to bear as Amanda and I chased these little ones around a square in Savannah, GA. Yes, you’ve seen this family before. A few times. :)

I always get excited when the Goldstones ask us to photograph their family again. Between their last session and this one they moved a couple hours away. It was so great to be asked to come join them up there for a session! We LOVE traveling out of the area to sessions. The new places bring out something new in our creativity.

We don’t often have the opportunity to both shoot at the same time. Many of our sessions, like those at the beach, are in difficult environmental situations where Amanda’s job is to keep our flash from flying away. So having her able to shoot in perfect situations like this is a blessing. I love getting back to the office and downloading her images to see what kind of crazy cool images she made.

Hope you enjoy! Don’t forget to book SOON for Christmas sessions!
