Giuseppe 02.20.2010

Giuseppe has been a frequent visitor to the studio since his birth...and oh wait...even before he was born! This time I wanted to focus on him alone and capture some more creative photos. My intention was to have some sleeping photos but when this cutie came in he did not want to sleep! The day before I texted his mom and asked her to bring some hats. That day she had just received this adorable hat! When I saw it I wanted to die...it was the cutest thing!

Here's a few favorites from that day:

The Parisi Family

This is the 3rd session with the Parisi's. The first session, Giuseppe wasn't born yet...but for the 2nd and 3rd he became the star of the photoshoot! Of course the first thing you notice about this angel is his hair...so wild and crazy. But it's his eyes that draw you in...

Check out a few photos of this gorgeous family:

 

A day in the park with Reese...

Reese is one of the most adorable little girls I've ever photographed. She reminds me of Michelle Tanner (the Olsen twins) from Full House. We went to the park and I basically chased her around wherever she went. Her favorite thing to say was "UP!" I could photograph her allll day long. I did need a nap afterward...

Here's a few of my favorites:

Kelly & Brian 1/16/2010

Kelly and Brian (along with their children and family) were so much fun to photograph. They had a very small, intimate wedding and it was so laid back. Everything started on their cue and and it couldn't have gone any smoother. After the ceremony we headed over to a nearby subdivision that had some awesome places to take photos! Kelly and Brian were having a lot of fun...with lots of smiles and kisses. I barely had to direct them! Below are a few of my favorites!

Gallery Wrap

A few weeks ago I ordered Kim and Mike's Gallery Wrap and when it came in last week I just had to photograph it. It looked awesome...like a piece of art! The image she selected was perfect to be printed on canvas material. She emailed when she received it and was thrilled! She immediately hung it up!

New Thumbnail Pages on Images by Michele

For the past few months I've been thinking of ways to make it easier to browse through my photos on my website. As of this morning when you clicked on a category, it would start a slideshow. You weren't able to stop it and/or click on thumbnails of just the images you wanted to view. Over the weekend I found this tool that is just awesome! It loads the images as thumbnails and as you scroll over each image, it enlarges...the whole page appears to tilt too! When you go to my website: www.imagesbymichele.com and click on Photography, you'll now see 2 links for each category; Slideshow and Thumbnails. You can decide whether you want to sit back and watch the slideshow or go right to the thumbnails and have fun clicking around...it's almost 3D!

Jennifer, Ryan, Kaytlen & Stephanie

Jennifer and her family were such a blast to photograph! They definitely felt more comfortable laughing and moving around then sitting and trying to pose and keep a straight face! I love the way these photos turned out...so much energy and I can't help but chuckle when I look through them. Here's just a taste:
