Newborn Black and White photography

I have received several positive comments on my black and photography lately. Thank you! I had a previous blog post
( http://noblecoastphotographyblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/black-and-white-photography-yesterday.html ), where I shared some thoughts on Black and White photography.

In this week's blog I am posting my black and white photographs from a recent newborn photography session. I think these timeless photographs would work well individually matted and framed or together in a framed newborn collage.

Thanks for viewing my blog and wish everyone a great week!

Peace,

John

Watching a Family Grow

Children grow up so fast! How many times do we say that through out the year? A great way to preserve family memories is to arrange for a family portrait session once a year. The recorded images help to forever remind us of the family growing together.

A year ago, Jeff and Terriann contacted me to photograph their two year old daughter, Rylee. During the same photo session, we created a set of family portraits. We did the same thing this year for Rylee's third birthday. Jeff and Terriann will use some of the photographs for family Christmas gifts. They also will choose one of the photographs for their Christmas cards. All of the photographs from the session  now become part of their family portrait collection. Such a great way to share and preserve their family memories!

Jeff and Terriann, thanks for letting me be part of your family memories!

Thanks for reading my blog this week.

Peace

Children Photography in the Park

I had alot of fun photographing these two sisters and I was using available natural light again! No strobes, flashes or reflectors.

When I photograph children outside I prefer to keep photography gear to a minimum. Reflectors and strobes can sometimes intimidate a young child. You usually get about 30 minutes of attention  from children under 4 so I want to minimize distractions and maximize photography time.

When we photographed Kaely and Virginia we found some great light and I was able to capture some fun images. These little girls are too cute! Enjoy!

Thanks for reading my blog, see you next week!

Peace

Photographing with Natural Light in Falls Park

In my September 8, 2011 post  http://noblecoastphotographyblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/love-to-learn.html I wrote about how there is always something new to learn in the world of digital photography. I try to attend workshops that are taught by photographers and artists who share their knowledge and provide me with priceless insight into their art and business.

I had a great time when I attended a workshop with Eddie Tapp  http://www.eddietapp.com/  and Judy Host  http://www.judyhost.com/ . Eddie Tapp is a Master Photographer, Explorer of Light for Canon Camera and a hall of fame Photoshop Expert.  Judy Host is one of today's top child photographer with studios in Northern California and Atlanta Georgia.

We met at beautiful Falls Park  www.fallspark.com/  located in downtown Greenville, SC. The weather cooperated and we were able to shoot on a beautiful sunny autumn day. We had kids, couples, models, and families and they were all great to photograph. I spent alot of the day learning from Judy and working with her natural light techniques. I  enjoyed seeing how Judy worked with the children and got them to naturally pose themselves.

I also had some time to watch Eddie Tapp set up his light strobes in the park. Eddie combined the strobes with natural light and demonstrated how to create stunning outdoor photographs of the beautiful models. Eddie and Judy both took time to work with all of us individually to help improve our techniques or help with any questions we had.   

Here are some of my photographs I took of Rylie during the workshop. You can see the different natural lighting we were able to capture during the course of the day. Rylie really enjoyed being photographed and was so great to work with.

Thanks for reading the blog and I hope you enjoyed the photos.

See you next week!

Peace
