Finally

I finally got the maternity shoot finished!

With us getting sick for nearly 3 weeks (what the?!) and then the car troubles and the refinancing of the house and the roof estimates and and and lol. Free time has been sporadic at best.

Here is one of my favs from the shoot:

I don't have any other shoots lined up at the moment. Maybe I'll finally get Zoe's 2 yr portraits done??

BTW if you want to see the rest of this album (and any of the others) add me on Flickr. Here is a direct link to my profile on there: http://www.flickr.com/people/themalmquists/

I keep most of my client sessions private for a number of reasons. Mainly client confidentiality.

another session complete

I'm not sure what's going on with the settings to this blog. It seems to be copying my settings I have for my craft blog... my internet is being too flakey to try and figure that out tonight.

I just finished editing the shots I took for a MOMS Club friend. Her son just turned 2 and she wanted some portraits done.

I think this one is my favorite of the set: It makes me thankful that I shoot in RAW. I got caught in the moment and this one would've been toast if I hadn't been able to adjust it with my RAW software. Of course like a true photographer I'm telling myself I meant to do it ;) What is art but a bunch of happy accidents right?

Now onto the maternity session I did this weekend. Fun times!

The Beginning

I've been slowly getting my feet wet with my photography business off and on for the past two years. I've done several sessions for various family members and am finally getting ready to charge relative strangers (gasp) for my services.

I started this blog in hopes of sharing some of my favorite shots from my sessions.

With that in mind here is a shot I took of our nephew during his recent session.

This is the first "formal" session I've done with him. It was a lot of fun and he is such a charming subject ;) So hard to believe he's already 4!

Here's hoping I can keep this blog updated... I haven't been very diligent with previous blogs.
