A few favourites from a recent family shoot. What a beautiful family! We started at the kids school yard playground, moved to the belt line for some photos, and then finished with ice cream, fun, fun, fun!
The whole family:
Brother and sister, adorable!
Mom and dad:
Love these moments I captured:
(Equipment used: Canon EOS-1D MarkIV (new version of this camera is the Canon EOS-1D X Digital), Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens & Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens)
A recent family photography session:
(Equipment used: Canon EOS-1D MarkIV (new version of this camera is the Canon EOS-1D X Digital), Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens)
As promised, my larger sneak peek of the adorable toddler Miles. Laura, Miles’ mom, has captured her older daughters in photographs when they each turned one year old, and now it is Mile’s turn. It’s a wonderful age to capture, as they grow so quickly, and change so fast!
(Equipment Used: The following were captured with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and the Canon 85 f1.2L lens—in some of the shots, from this shoot, I also used my Canon 580EX II Speedlite.)
Miles has a wonderful little room right off mom and dad’s room:
Love this serious shot of Miles in his crib, such a soulful look!
Miles hanging out on mom and dad’s bed:
Miles loves playing in his sisters’ room, with the windows all around it was a perfect spot for photographs:
Look at those blue eyes! Aren’t they amazing? (Shot with the Canon 5D and the Canon 100 mm f2.8 macro lens.)
I can never resist bathtub photos! The water accentuates the eyelashes, which really makes Miles’ beautiful eyes pop. (Next three images were taken with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens.)
Always love the snuggling in the towel after the bath shots too!
Can’t wait to go back and photograph Miles with his two older sisters! Laura and I are hoping for some snow, but I don’t know if Mother Nature will co-operate this winter! Fingers are crossed for a fun snowy shoot Laura! 🙂
As I mentioned, in the post below, I have updated my blog to become my blogsite, which has been a bit of a process, so I’m a bit behind in my photography work, but I just have to share this sneak-sneak peek of Miles, whom I photographed last Friday. Hope to have the larger sneak peek up next week! (Equipment Used: Shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and my beloved Canon 85 f1.2L lens.)
As I did last year, I took a break from the computer over the holidays, so here’s a massive photo update!
The kids and I got an extra long holiday break this year as we traveled to Disney World in mid-December. I didn’t want to be weighted down with camera equipment on the trip so just brought the lighter Canon 5D, Canon 50 f1.4 lens and the Lensbaby Composer for the trip. (See “My Camera Equipment” in footer section for links/more information on camera equipment used.)
On our second day we visited Animal Kingdom, we all enjoyed the Kali River Rapids, and then the kids went again (I decided that I had gotten wet enough the first go-around!):
One of the things we very much enjoyed was the different wildlife around us, instead of pigeons we had birds like this visiting us during our outside lunch:
On the way out of the park we stopped so I could photograph these beautiful parrots:
On day four we visited Disney’s Hollywood Studios Theme Park, Noah and I went back that night for a show and then visited the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights on the Streets of America. You can’t tell in these photos but there was actual snow flakes falling down on us (which freaked Noah out to no end, go figure!). (Shots were taken with the Lensbaby Composer with Lensbaby Fisheye Optic (first two) and the star shaped Lensbaby Creative Aperture Kit installed.)
The next day we went back to Magic Kingdom, after riding the Pirates of the Caribbean the kids tried on Nightmare Before Christmas top hats, and then goofed around outside on the way to the next ride:
This was the best photo I managed to capture of Rebecca and Noah in front of the castle. We had planned to attend Magic Kingdom one more day but unfortunately Rebecca came down with the stomach flu, so it ended up being a hotel/by the pool day instead.
Even though they are not great photos, I regret that I didn’t make better use of the Disney Photo Pass, where they have photographers throughout the parks to take photos of you. But here are two of me with the kids at Magic Kingdom:
Finally, as the last photos from the trip, a few quick shots I took of the hotel grounds of Disney’s Port Orleans Resort French Quarter where we stayed:
(Equipment Used: Unless otherwise noted, the following were all shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIII, Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens and Canon 580EX II Speedlite)
As much as we enjoyed Disney World, and the much nicer weather in Florida, we were very happy to get back to the comforts of home, and Alice. Here she hangs out with Noah as he does some drawing on my bed:
Didn’t capture that many photos of Christmas morning, but here are Rebecca and Noah both enjoying presents from their stockings:
Alice very much enjoyed one of her gifts too!
(Equipment Used: Unless otherwise noted, the following were all shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIII, Canon 100 mm f2.8 macro lens and Canon 580EX II Speedlite.)
One of my goals, for the holiday break, was to capture some updated photos of Alice, she is now four months old and she has changed so much since the last time I did this:
Her facial markings are really coming in:
So happy that our little girl has blue eyes!
Another nose shot, as I just love her nose and whiskers!:
The next three were taken with the Lensbaby Composer:
I was enjoying getting in close and filling the frame with the Canon 100 mm f2.8 macro lens:
She is the sweetest cat. While we were away she stayed at my sister’s, and she so fell in love with her that she has placed her order for her own little ‘Alice’ from the breeder! I can’t wait to meet her, and take photos of her too!
Hope everyone reading this had a wonderful holiday break too!
