intro-post

Real Photography closed in December 2014 and is no longer accepting clients.

Thank you for your support over the years! Please follow me at my new personal blog: www.needlesandapen.com to keep up with my latest photography, craft, and nursing school adventures.

I had a blast with Laura last night shooting her senior portraits. Not only is she adorable, but she has a great sense of humor and was having lots of fun with the shoot, which always makes it even more fun for me!

I should be hopping in the shower right now, but I wanted to share one of my many favorites from her session:

Try not to hate her when I tell you that’s her actual real natural god-given hair color! (God and I are going to have some words about that one.)

her second birthday

She turned two last week, so her mom asked me to take some two year portraits. I have some cute cupcake photos to share later.

She’s the only little one I’ve ever taken photos of that absolutely hated it. Not “wouldn’t smile, not really in the mood” but “hated it so much she started to hate me.” She kept saying “NO!” every time I brought my camera up to my face, and when her mom said “No, what?” she answered “No look at me!”

Then she ran into the car and closed the door in my face.

It was pretty funny.

The bride and groom are back from their honeymoon, so I’m back to proofing their photos. Here are two of the getting ready photos.

I also have another good reason to be working on these wedding photos again–I’m going to be assisting the amazing Laura Dombrowski at weddings starting later this month. I am so excited about it–I know I will learn a ton from her! I can’t wait for the first wedding. I’m going to be a nervous wreck, but I’m going to love it!
