Baby Cooper #2

Finished the photos! Cute, cute, cute. Although, I must say ... the last series of photos when Cooper was stripped down to his diaper and perched on a pillow was definitely my favorite!

Baby Cooper

My girls were super-excited to see their newest cousin again as I shot baby and family pictures this morning. I'm not finished going through my files, but here are some high-contrast B&Ws that I love.

IF Tigers luggage tags

I didn't shoot any pictures shown in this post. But I figure that photography and graphic design are closely related (and maybe I just like to show off), so I'm going to blog about this anyway.

My dad helps coach the Idaho Falls High volleyball team. Right now they're in northern Idaho playing in the state tournament, and as an extra nice gesture, Dad wanted to design luggage tags for the girls and give them to the team. Then, seeing that he didn't have enough time to do the design work, get them all printed up, and then put them together (let alone get lesson plans ready and pack), he commissioned me to do the work.

He came up with everything: the graphics, the words and the team photo. I just slapped them together. And here is the end result:

The front of the tag. Might I say, I LOVE www.dafont.com. Half my fonts are from there.

The back of the tag. Of course, every one was individualized, so my dad wasn't claiming all the girls' luggage. What would the man do with 12 pairs of black spandex shorts, anyway?

Berretts

The Berretts are the best neighbors we could ask for. Ted has helped me fix a flat tire on the van when Seth had already left for work. He also drove his van over our lawn and into the driveway so we could jump our van after I had left the lights on all night. And both Ted and Lu have been more than generous with the incredible vegetables they grow in their garden. So when Lu asked if I would shoot their family (all 34 of them who could come!), I was happy and willing.

When you have that many people (and a lot of little ones), it's hard to get one perfect shot. So we did a fair amount of head-swapping. Can you guess which seven heads I switched? (Hope not, or I've done a crummy job.) We also added in one granddaughter who couldn't be there that day.

Catching up: Weddings

Now that I have this blog up and running, I plan to continually update it with photos I have recently shot. However, because this is replacing my previous online portfolio, I thought I'd repost the pictures from that site here. Hence the following "catching up" posts.
