Getting back to work

After not doing any photography jobs for the last month of my pregnancy, or since Paige was born (with the exception of a couple of drama performances for a friend last week), I think it's time to get back to work.  Paige will be 4 weeks old tomorrow, and though I'm not ready to work all the time, I do need to work a little to keep from going stir crazy.  I have been taking pictures of Paige every day to post on her personal blog (apaigeaday.blogspot.com), but I'm ready for more.

So, I will be slowly easing my way back into my photography work and posting more pictures here for all to see.  Keep an eye on the blog for more updates soon.

Introducing Paige Michelle

Things have been a bit busy, so I'm a little slow in getting this posted. 

Paige Michelle Larsen was born on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 at 8:10am.  She was 7lbs 12.8oz and 20 3/4" long.

Morning at Cottage Grove Lake

I was underexposing and using my graduated neutral density filter to keep things a bit on the dark side and so I could keep some of the richness and saturation of color. You can also see that I was having fun playing with my star filter.

Sasha & Benton's Wedding

Here is a quick look at a few pictures from Sasha and Benton's wedding yesterday.

Sasha's dress was amazing!

Benton's cast... fortunately his pants fit over it!

Sasha and Benton chose to do their formal pictures before the ceremony, so we did a "first look" for them before we did the formal shots.

Notice the cake topper.... very cute!

Having a little fun with the Marines!

Shelby - Class of 2010 Senior Portraits

Here are a few images from a senior portrait session I did yesterday morning. Shelby is so photogenic & very easy to work with. You'd never know that she doesn't like to have her picture taken!
