Mello- Yello

I am so excited to be back at work – doing what I love!

Let’s talk location for a moment.

PULL BACK: This is actually on the side of a run-down parking lot

This image above is the pull-back of where I shot all these images below. These beautiful yellow wildflowers were growing a side of an abandoned parking lot up the road from me. As soon as I saw it I knew that there was hidden magic. I went at Golden hour – which is my prefered time for shooting to create that warm beautiful light and creates beautiful shadows.

I didn’t feel that many props were needed for this brother and sister set. So I brought a galvanized bucket and a vintage magnifying glass -which as I think you can see is all we needed to create some fun.

All of my images were created using my new presets soon to release on Hello Storyteller platform

Bathtub mermaids

MERMAID: A water women who chooses imagination over fear

Hello, friends!

I am sure ideas are flooding into your mailboxes. Maybe you have already thought of this idea . However, I thought it was fun and could really create some memorable moments and also allow you to play with your camera capturing these moments.

While stuck at home (doing that whole social distancing) and the weather is still not swimming weather here for us in Pittsburgh my kids are itching to do something in their downtime. In fact … it’s even raining so playing outside in the backyard isn’t an option right now either.

We decided that being bathtub mermaids would be fun. They got out their tails (w.o. the monofin attached) and they are each taking a turn sitting in the tub playing with their barbies. Pretending to be mermaids. Tomorrow we play on painting our nails in mermaid colors and even putting a few scales on their face for fun.

If you are worried about getting water everywhere than let them play without the water. Make fake bubbles out of crinkled paper or blow bubbles white they sit in the tub. Make it fun and choose IMAGINATION over FEAR!

Using my new preset BASIC

° Edited with my ᑎEᗯ preset ᗷᗩᔕIᑕ ᔕTᑌᗪIO which you get ᖴᖇEE when you attend my workshop April 19th! Did I mention along with 3 other studio presets ???

What ???? Did I just say I am releasing my first ever set of presets? I said it and the ONLY way you can get them right now is to get yourself a seat in my The Art of whimsy light and airy workshop.

These presets are working great with my all-white side of my studio 415 as well as the exposed brick side of the studio.

Presets

  • Basic
  • Bliss
  • Clean
  • Daydreams

Each one brings life to your photos. Great for studio and great to create that light and airy images you desire so much.

Family: Where life begins and love never ends.

I personally am more of a beach girl however, I really do love our Pittsburgh Fall. It’s fun being a 4 season state. That is when we actually get the 4 seasons – ha. I do love good Sweater weather.

I love this family so much and have had the pleasure of photographing them since their little girl was 1 year old. We choose Round Hill Farm as a location. If you are looking for a beautiful fun place to walk around solo or with the kids it’s a must-visit!

I absolutely adore capturing portraits during the ‘golden hour’ (or, a magic hour! as I like to call it). Some favorite images are created during that hour before sunset when the Earth is positively illuminated in beautiful light. However, when I am not outside you can find me in my light and airy studio where I love to tell a different kind of story. My signature look in the studio is at most times whimsical. However, it also referred to lifestyle in a cute, playful way.

 In addition to being a natural light photographer, I am a free spirit with a wanderlusting soul.  My family is my everything. I am happily married to my husband over a decade now, Dave. We have three delightful and fun-loving children (who I use as my muses from time to time): our son, Brody, and twin girls, Harlow and Gabriella.

Description:

A dream coming true… after almost 8 years of shooting my passion for creating and living with my head in the clouds is coming true in my first ever solo workshop
