Not so newlyweds {Quad Cities Photography}

Over the past couple of years I have gotten a few calls asking if I did weddings. My answer has always been no. First of all, I don't want that pressure. You have one chance to get it right, no do-overs! Secondly, having absolutely no experience in wedding photography, I don't want to be the one to ruin someones wedding pictures. I have always said that the only way I would ever even consider doing it was if the couple only had two options... it was going to be me or their uncle Bob with his Polaroid Insant camera taking pictures!

Well, I got a great opportunity to finally give it a chance. This couple actually got married over a year ago and due to some things out of their control were unable to have "real" wedding pictures. They didn't want anything elaborate...just a few pictures of them together.

I think if another similar situtation were to come my way where it was a VERY VERY small wedding or they wanted a few pictures after the fact I may do it. It's definetly a change of pace having the person you are taking pictures of actually do what you tell them to do!!

I photographed this beauty this morning. I think that her Dad is going to have to keep her locked up in a few years! She is just adorable! The session didn't go necessarily how mom had planned...but 1 year olds have a mind of their own and you can't make them do something that they don't want to do! Regardless, I think we got a ton of cute shots...I don't think that his little girl can take a bad picture!

I had a session yesterdat moring at the Butterworth Center in Moline. It is a great location and I have a few more sessions there in the next month or two. This litte guy is turning 2 this month and mom wanted a few pictures of all 3 kids together too! He has the biggest, brownest eyes I think I have ever seen! Enjoy your sneak peak!

If you be good..... {Kids Photography Quad Cities}

I have quite a few sessions coming up using this location, so I thought I'd go out there again this morning to get few pictures! Of course I brought my fantastic model Drew with. It's amazing how well kids listen and do what you tell them to without whining and complaining with the promise of McDonald's afterwards if they do good! The entire time it was, "OK Mommy" or "sure Mommy". He was even picking out his own spots that he thought would be good! I'm all for bribing kids to get them to cooperate for pictures.

Trying WAY to hard to smile:)
