For the longest time I've been trying to come up with a place indoors to do photo shoots during the winter. For the most part... my sessions have been scheduled on days where it worked great to be outside... but there have been those few days where it's just been way too cold. Since I try to only use natural light (although I've decided to buy a flash so I have the possibility of shooting events at night)... I've needed a place that is not only warm... but also has great light. After a year of trying to come up with a place... I've finally found it... and it's only like 10 feet from my desk. I am seriously so SLOW sometimes! Our dining room faces the perfect direction... and the house next door is like a built in reflector! Geez! The light is AMAZING! A couple days ago I decided to use the kids as models... and mess around with some different backdrop options. There are some things I don't love about the pictures that I'll need to do differently next time... but I still couldn't resist sharing these!! Carter wasn't quite as into it as Claire (who can't move :))... so I didn't get as many of him.
This one really makes me laugh... Claire is almost as big as Carter!!

My mom made the quilt in this one...
The black background was my favorite... of course I only got one good shot of them in front of it. I won't be using the white again.

Hey, Alyssa! I love these. The light is gorgeous!! (And so are your beautiful little models!)
So funny. I was moving furniture around in my house just yesterday looking for the same thing!! I think there's a nice little corner in my kitchen.
YOu sepent enough time looking at my GQ one year old while editing and decided you liked that light, I love it!! I love Carter's new haircut, are you guys still cutting it? Seriously. I though that when I saw the pic of him with Manna. He reminds me of Bryce - looking similar. Anyway - I love the hair!! AND Claire - is totally coming into her own look. I love them all, but the one you posted to FB is so beautiful. Don't worry about her being basically immobile. She will get there fast enough. And everyone will enjoy it. Hope this was an activity that kept you busy on your snow day. Love you!!
Gorgeous pictures! Your kids are seriously adorable!
Great pics! Love the last one of them looking at each other!
