Football...

So, I went Saturday morning to shoot photos at my 6 yr old nephew's football game. It was fun watching all the kids trying to understand the game... and even the parents, one of which said "the score is 2-2.." umm...mom, I think ya need to read the handbook on football.. :) But, I got a few decent photos, need a monopod, I can't lean down the way I used to be able to. . . getting old I guess :)

Ibiza Nightclub

So, I was able to go into Ibiza and help out with photographing the location and a model in the location. I didn't shoot much that day, spent the day running around moving lights and helping other people, but I had a little time to shoot a few, here is one I liked the best. Our model (I think her name is Audrey) was an awesome model and I look forward to working with her in the future if possible. She was great. Lots of fun. A little different than the photos you're used to seeing on my blog, but... it goes well with my colors scheme, thats for sure :)

Rollergirl

Whatever happened to crimping your hair, putting on your short shorts and heading to the rollerskating rink? Well, it's a lost tradition, that's for sure. My model, Steph, had never roller-skated before and had never had her hair crimped either. Made me feel a little old, but... nonetheless.

On a side note: I could not have imagined doing this shoot without Amber... she was fantastic as an assistant... Our lights didn't work, so we improvised using age old technology (headlights on the car) and then we timed the shots to get some ambient lighting and flashed the model with a hand held strobe. Yes, interesting, but it worked (kinda) and had we not gotten into 3 hours of traffic and had more time, we could have gotten way better results, but these will do for now.. :)

Steph, thanks a million for modeling, you were soooo cooperative and awesome. And Becca, thanks for modeling for the other girls! Good luck with your last year in school! Make it count!

the Ho Co fair

I will post more photos later, but the colors in this one deserved an immediate post as far as I'm concerned.

So much to blog, such little time...

Here's the baby!! So excited! But, it's also a little weird... I'm a photographer and not the first person to photograph my own baby... very odd. But, here's the second ultrasound. I sent out emails to everyone, but in case you didn't get to see it, there it is! Soooo crazy! The last time we saw it, the little home (sac) that it lived in was sooo big in comparison to it's little body... but, the baby almost takes up the whole thing now!! So exciting! Can't wait for Kris to actually be there and see the heartbeat and the pictures... just getting printouts isn't the same... :)

Okay, time for edits and filing and burning and school and shooting tomorrow and then shooting again on saturday.... and then... editing editing editing...

Went to fair, Megan Jean's show, still life work... whoa.... so much to show you, Mr. Bloggy blog... well, it'll happen very soon. I need to spend some time outside on the porch with a mason jar of ice water and my computer... it will happen... promise. soon. like next week... maybe sunday... the day of rest..

love, me, and baby nichols.

My beautiful (and handsome) models. :)

Took the ids to a photoshoot today, and in between everyone shooting photos of them, I took some of my own, I couldn't help it.. they're just too cute :)

painting with light and 5 kids.

Give 5 kids light sticks, set up a tripod and long exposure, and it turns into a crazy dance party in pitch black and lots of giggles and fun. Emma got pretty good at spelled things, like "Emma" and "Meg" and "love" Fun was had by all... and no one got hurt (surprisingly)

Trying to decide if I like the smaller photos, but I don't think I do... so bigger it is from now on..

Joey's Football and the Girls

Today Joey had his first practice in jerseys... It was kinda cute to see all the boys out there not knowing anything about the game, just trying so hard to listen to the coaches... While Joey had practice, Grammy and I played Uno and Old Maid with the four girls... they are so sweet together, they have the sweetest dispositions. But, I took them over to the playground for a little bit to play. Allison was in the bathroom so I didn't get any shots of her... maybe tomorrow at Hershey Park. :) Time for sleep, Aunt KT is exhausted...

Celebration

We are expecting!! Here's our baby's strong heartbeat at 8 weeks :) This is why I've been not as busy as usual shooting. But, this week I'm spending time with my nieces and nephew, so I should have more soon :)
