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.

If you would like beautiful portraits like these of your family then contact me (Anna-Karin) to set up a time for your session. You can do so by calling (225)284-6354 or by filling out the contact form on my website or here on my blog.

Now is a great time weather wise for an outdoor professional photo session in South Louisiana, before the warm hot steamy weather sets in. I look forward to hear from you and set up a time for your own professional photo session with Anna-Karin’s Photography!

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.

"A Streetcar named Desire" from New Orleans

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.

Cotton Blooms

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.

With that Anna-Karin’s Photography want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
