I always refer to shooting portraits of kids as “cheating”. As long as I have a crisp, clean, well-exposed shot, then the rest is just pointing the camera at a cute kid. Sure they can be fussy, but when you have the luxury of blocking out 1-2 hours for a portrait shoot, being able to take time and wait for the good moods and real smiles is just a matter of patience. The Delp kids were not even fussy at all so getting good shots felt even more like “cheating”.

What fun Ideas Paige had for her new son! Mike’s addition of a Gibson acoustic was also above and beyond. Look for the ISPhotographic page on Facebook for more!

Even though I’ve known the Johnsons for years, we have just managed to get together for some photos. From the studio to Tapawingo Park, to People’s Brewing, we worked to capture energy, happiness and love. How did we do? Do you have a favorite?

Noah and Kailey wanted something a little different for their Mini Engagement Session (a full session to follow later). They brought several props of their own, and I contributed a few. Can you spot mine? I think number three will get all of the attention, but Kailey’s smile in two is priceless! What do you think? Comment below!
