We finally found time for a little family outing to Bowring Park!
Maybe Jaxon is annoyed that someone vandalized the bench…nope, it’s mommy who’s annoyed about that. Perhaps being surrounded by pigeons is a little scary for him…perhaps. But most likely, this serious expression is a result of mommy trying to take his picture – again! LOL Luckily, I love his serious face just as much as I love his smiley face 🙂
I bet there’s a few girls wishin’ they had Jaxon’s long eye lashes. I love capturing little details like this!
Having fun with Daddy…
I’m trying to teach Darrell a little about photography so I can actually have some “nice” candid photos of me with Jaxon. He did alright with this shot!
It’s been such a pleasure watching Hannah grow over the past 5 years, and the Seaward family is an absolute delight. Melanie shared the Lifestyle slideshow I created on her facebook page, and I was touched by her introduction of the video. I thought I’d share it 🙂
(I posted the video on the blog a couple weeks ago if you’d like to view it)
This baby girl has the most amazing smile! I can’t help but smile myself when I look at her photos 🙂
I am excited to now offer Lifestyle Sessions. Lifestyle Sessions are intended to capture the essence of your life, or something that is happening in your life, at the time of the session. The images will mostly be natural, candid and personality photographs, and possibly some casual portrait-type of photos, as well as “details” shots. You may remember the post I made about Jaxon’s first haircut a while ago (LINK); this is one example of a Lifestyle Session. Below is a video featuring some photos from a recent family Lifestyle Session. If you would like information about preserving some of your memories in this way, please contact me for details!
I just realized I forgot to post more photos of the twins I had in studio a few weeks ago. Gosh, May and June were busy months; it’s a wonder I managed to blog at all 😉 Are you ready for a double dose of sweetness – Andrew and Leah?!
Give the gift that will be cherished for a lifetime: quality photographs. Gift certificates available in any amount, to be used towards a session. Or, you can choose to purchase a certificate for the entire shoot fee (which includes some prints). Perfect gift for friends and family! Do you know someone who’s interested in learning photography? Why not give them a gift certificate to one of the Basic Photography Workshops with Brandi Gosse?! Great gift idea for Christmas, birthdays, graduation, retirement, Mother’s Day / Father’s Day, etc. All my gift certificates are personalized with names and a message if you’d like. And I can provide an electronic copy for you to print yourself if you don’t live nearby to pick it up 🙂
You may remember this beautiful family from their maternity session last month, when I posted some family photos and mama photos of these awesome clients. Well, they made another trip out over the highway from St. John’s once baby Mayumi made her grand entrance! And they brought a cast of mom’s belly to use for one of the shots – cool, eh?! Here is an updated Frizzell family portrait including their adorable new addition 🙂
I just can’t believe I’m starting to plan Jaxon’s 1st birthday party! People say “they grow so fast”, but I couldn’t appreciate how true this is until I had my own baby! I’m happy and excited that he’s learning new things, and I love watching him grow and change…but, at the same time, I’m sad that the days of him as an infant are gone. If only I could pause time… oh wait, I can! (well, sort of) “A photograph is the pause button of life” – Ty Holland. Thank goodness I have lots of great pictures to look back on in years to come 🙂
I admit, I often print my personal snapshots at a local “chain” lab. Recently, I took a studio picture of my baby that I wanted printed quickly, so I put it through with my monthly snapshot print order (rather than waiting until I sent my next pro order). When I picked it up I was SHOCKED! It didn’t look anything like it did on my calibrated monitor. Of course, I re-printed it with my usual pro lab, and I just can’t get over the difference! See for yourself; below is a picture showing the two prints…notice how the “not-pro” print is washed out and has a “cold” look to it, not to mention you can’t even see the shading of the background. (I never edited this quick comparison picture at all – only cropped it and added text – so please excuse that it’s not super sharp, lol). Yes, this is the exact same file, uploaded to two different labs. This is one reason I’m so reluctant to provide clients with full-resolution digital images for them to print themselves…I have no idea where they are printing, and they could be putting a picture like this (awful) print on their wall and telling people I took it – yikes!
Addition on July 19, 2012: Here’s another comparison, showing the drastic difference with another photo! (LINK)
