Micah | Four Years Old {children’s portraits}

This past weekend, Carey and I had a chance to shoot a very laid-back, fun children’s session with Caitlin, Micah and Chris at Oakland Mansion in Murfreesboro.  The light outside was simply perfect and we decided to use only the reflector to fill in the shadows of this adorable four-year-old girl.  Caitlin is a very talented stylist at H2O Hair Studio in Murfreesboro off of Cason lane, which is where I had the pleasure of meeting her.  Her husband Chris is an equally talented landscaper and it was all smiles capturing Micah from the shy beginning to the glowing end of our evening together getting some delicious Sonic ice cream.

I am also proud to say that I have spent countless hours working on my new processing techniques in lightroom to give the photos (in my opinion) a very non-digital appearance, which to me simply means a better image with a larger latitude to encompass a perceptively wider dynamic range in tones/shadows/color.  I am very happy with the new “look” but I’m officially begging you, if you read this, to click the comment button and let me know what you think about the new processing style.  Is it over-played?

Family Portraits By Chelsea Rochelle

Last weekend I drove to Coble, TN to meet for a family portrait session. Zach, Lauren-Ashlee, and Brayden make up the cutest little family! Oh, and did I mention their two puppies! The dogs were more interested in swimming and causing trouble but we managed to get them in a few shots! We spent the day on their family’s farm and all in all it was a great day.


Fun Playing with Little Ones

A while ago, Dustin brought over his nieces and nephews and I did what I always do . . . . took the opportunity to play with them and shoot some pretty cute, but very casual photos of them doing what they do best . . . be kids.
