The Briggs Kids

I spent the afternoon hanging out with Mom Tonya, big sister Myra and the newest addition Dylan. (boo Dad was at work) Myra is such a great big sister. She took me on a tour of their house, showed me her little brother (she’s very proud!) and then I met their dog Cassie. I think Myra is really infatuated with Dylan. I would be too! I’m digging his big blue eyes and auburn spiky hair.

Here’s little Dylan Briggs first photo shoot

Myra’s little head peeping up makes me laugh.

Tonya’s sister bought Dylan a cool pair of Vans. Of course we had to photograph them!

I love how they are in almost identical poses. Not intentional or set up. Siblings!

Nothing better than pink converse and rocket ships.

Dylan’s little snooze didn’t last too long.

Thanks so much for the coffee Tonya!

Stompin Lizzy Stanton

It was so cool photographing one of the Dutchland Derby Roller Girls, Theresa Metz aka Stompin Lizzy Stanton. Theresa was referred to me by a good friend of mine for wedding photography. We started talking and it turns out Ms.Stanton is the Lancaster’s Red Cap spokesperson for the American Heart Association’s Heart Walk. They were considering her for their national “faces of the heart” campaign.
Theresa had two heart surgeries when she was younger. We photographed her head shot (beautiful!) and she just got notice of her story being up on the AHA National website as a feature site!

People all over the country will be reading about her story. I’m so honored Theresa asked me to be part of her story. Just goes without saying “every picture tells your story”!

Here’s the link to the AHA website. She is also listed on the main www.heart.org site!

Little Nora

I was really excited for my afternoon baby session with Miss Nora. Yesterday was a beautiful afternoon. Warm sun, warm temps, couldn’t make it any better. Nora’s starting to walk, usually with the help of her parents. She’ll take a couple of steps by herself, but they are few for this almost one year old. I have a feeling she’ll be as active as her parents in no time! Actually she is really active, crawling, checking out stuff, exploring the world.

Here are some of my favs from our Life portrait session. Too cute with her scrunchy face!

Wasn’t too crazy about the hat!

So, how do you photograph a little one who doesn’t want to sit…..swing them around, duh.

This series I call; swinging it, baby.

I wish I had video for you to hear how much she was laughing. Time to check out the grass.

Another way to get a baby to stay still!

Back to swinging. These two are my absolute favorites.

I photographed her through the plastic of her stroller cover. I love naturally created textures.

Nora’s infamous scrunchy face.

Just a little…

Thanks for coming to see me at artwalk! I really appreciated everyone’s support and enjoyed meeting new people. Looking forward to booking your animal, family or individual life portrait

Best,

Still into Motion

Last week klm Photography and Allen Clements, Otaku Motion, got together for a photo shoot. We photographed three children for Kingdom Builders. The script for the commercial is children drawing and dreaming of living in a new home. A home they’ve created. A home they can call their own. That’s exactly what Kingdom Builders provides. Kingdom educated the public on how to properly own their own home. It amazes me how much renting really adds up yearly. A common misconception is renting is cheaper than owning. Not always the case! Take a class from Kingdom and find out how to make your dream home a reality.

I can’t wait for the commercial to be completed. I’ll defiantly post it! It’s so cool to see my images turned into motion. Merging to mediums, Love it!

It was a blast working with Allen. He’s awesome. I highly recommend him for any video needs you have.

REMINDER- April Portrait session special, getting booked. Act now!

Rock on, these guys are super cute. Krisha

I had so much fun photographing Beth and her baby belly. Beth is due real soon with her second child…a girl! It was great hanging out laughing, talking and running around with her son Preston and 8mth old Dotson, Ruby. Of course there’s dog pics. She’s a classy puppy!

You guys rock!

Preston just felt the baby kick….

Ruby LOVES snuggling with the belly….

Puppy *bliss*

Baby Zachary

His smile is infectious, his laugh is joy and his life is strength. You’d think coming into this world would be hard enough for a new born baby. It wasn’t until two weeks after his birth, baby Zachary, would face his toughest challenge ever. Fighting off Viral Meningitis.

Zachary spent 21+ days in the hospital. Once he was allowed home no visitors could come and welcome him since his immune system was so week from fighting the virus. Baby Zachary couldn’t have visitors for another three months after his birth. Finally at 5 months we could schedule his newborn shoot!

Through this all he keeps smiling and laughing everyday! Here is a sunny afternoon with Zachary and a shot with his big brother Salvatore.
