Here is a beautiful on location family portrait session of a sweet little girl and her mother. We had such a fun time during our session and J was all full of energy and spunk.

Once again I am participating with many of my photographer colleagues around the world in a blog carnival. We are planning on doing these on a regular basis, to stretch ourselves creatively and to remember to shoot something for our own imagination and just for fun. This can sometimes be hard to find the time to do when running busy photography businesses. So by participating in this blog carnival with other professional child photographers on a regular basis, we are making sure there is a little bit of time for our self and to have a creative outlet.

This month the challenge is macro.

Stinging Caterpillar

Since spring is here there are lots of fun budding things to photograph. I chose  to photograph some stinging caterpillars that I found in my yard. Spring time is a time when they come around. While they are interesting looking with all their spikes they are pretty bad if you step on them or touch your skin.

Beautiful Mother & Daughter

I have been looking forward to share this session on my blog. This was a beautiful outdoor photo session at a plantation.

Little M used to be on my babyplan when she was a little baby and through out her first year in life. I first photographed little M when she was just four days old. She is now a grown beautiful five year old girl, almost six. Very hard to believe how fast that time has gone.I am going to include a photo from when she was about six months so you all can see a difference to how much she has grown since then.

This time we had a photo session outside on location and these are just a few of the many beautiful photographs I captured of her and her family.

This is one of the newer hotels in Baton Rouge. The building the hotel is located in has been very nicely renovated by the Indigo hotel. The hotel has a modern and classic contemporary  design to it and is beautiful!  Here are some of the samples of what the Indigo Hotel in downtown Baton Rouge looks like.

This month the challenge is shadow play.

Playing with his own shadow

I choose a couple of photographs where shadows comes into play.

The first one is actually an iphone capture of my youngest son. He has always loved playing with his shadow. I have photos from when he was little doing the same, and is still very drawn to playing with his shadow. This was him on a day playing swords with his brother, then he noticed his own shadow against the wall when playing. At the time he was playing this I did not have my regular camera with me but just the iphone and wanted to capture this moment of him, that to me is so him.

Since the topic of shadows is covered , I thought I share these other two photographs with shadows as a main part of the portrait. Shadows is not necessary a bad thing in photography and can help define certain focus of a photograph.  These two portraits shows how shadows created by the lighting of the portrait actually accentuate the portrait more vs if they were fully lit.

I can almost stand up on my own!

Meet beautiful and adorable baby N. She is one of my baby planners. This was from her six months session.

Peek Aboo!

This little young lady was already crawling fast at her six month session. Usually most babies sit well up on their own by the time they are 6.5 months. Not this little lady, she had manoeuvred that already by the time she was 4.5 months old. So by the time we had her six month professional photo session, she was a pro at this!

Little N was so happy and smiling the whole time during our session.Makes my job easy and it sure is enjoyable to be around happy babies!

Tippy Toes....

She came to her photo session with some adorable little outfits, including these cute toe blooms that look like little sandals!

Happy Little N

Along to the session came also baby N’s grandmother that was visiting from out of state. It was so nice to capture them all together in a generational portrait of these three beautiful ladies.

Three Generations

I often have many of my clients bring along LSU themed clothing for their children, so I am used to that theme. To this session N’s mom brought along some Oklahoma Sooner bloomers as her parents graduated from there. It was actually fun to have the chance to photograph a little variety in the sports themed outfits compared to the regular LSU kind that is so common here in S.Louisiana.

This month the challenge is alternative camera. I chose my alternative camera to be my iPhone. I use it all the time for quick on the go shots when I want to document something but did not bring my real camera with me. I am sharing a handful of my iPhone images in this blog post.

Breakfast time for the Elf on the shelf!

This year of 2011 has flown by and is almost to an end. It has been a very busy but good year for Anna-Karin’s Photography with portrait clients, commercial clients included commercial hotel clients and a big contract for office of tourism for Louisiana.

Our elf is quite the talented sports photographer!

I have also this past fall moved my professional photo studio location to the antique district in Denham Springs. It has been a good move with a much larger studio space. The new photo studio space is located at: 123 North Range Blvd, Denham Springs, LA 70726 . I hope to see you there sometime!

Our elf drank up all our pancake syrup....

With this being holiday season I thought I share some fun elf on the shelf photographs from moments of the elf’s visit in my own house this past month. I have two boys and especially my youngest has been really into trying to find our elf every morning.Some days our elf was quite naughty and got into trouble….

Someone tp'd our Christmas tree......

If you are not familiar with the elf on the shelf you can find the book that comes with an elf at about any book store.
