.ingamae. {Redding, CA Portrait Photographer}

March 7, 2010 – 12:09 am

I belong to an on-line community called, BeenUp2. It is a super fun place. You post pictures throughout your day of, “what you’ve BeenUp2,” and people comment, etc. It’s fun. I met Ingamae on Beenup2 about two years ago. She was coming up to Redding for a conference, and posted on BeenUp2 that she needed a place to stay! I was on-line when she made the comment, and invited her to stay with us! It was magical meeting Ingamae! She was as joyful & happy as she seemed on-line, and our family welcomed her right away!

About a year ago, or so, Inga moved to Redding! We have so loved getting to know her more! She has been such an encourager to my life & to my family’s life! She has been a cheerleader, cheering us on! She has been a, “go to church tonight,” I’ll watch the kids friend! She has been a chips & hummus friend! A show up at my doorstep with a Refresh Misto Latte friend! I love you, Inga! Thanks for being who you are, for loving people, and for giving so much joy, hope, love to everyone that you meet!!! You are a treasure!!!!

She hung out with us today, & as we were outside chatting,  I knew I had to capture my Ingamae. The light was magically covering her– it was a perfect moment for some pics!!!!

–be careful– she might just be taking a picture of Y-O-U!

If feels like I am always saying..”the most amazing thing about being a photographer is….”, honestly, though, it’s amazing doing what you love!!!! Anyways—One of the things that I love about my job is the connections that I have made through photography. I have been doing the “Watch Me Grow” package with the Lynn family, and Avagail is now ONE! Crazy to believe that a little over a year ago I did their maternity pics, then newborn pics, six month pics, and now celebrating 12 month pictures!!!! Avagail is the sweetest little princess!! A doll to photograph!! I always look forward to their sessions. We thought today might get rained out, but luckily the clouds cleared out, and we had a beautiful session!!!

Thank you, Tya & Collin, for the honor of capturing your family!!!! I look forward to many more photoshoots!!! Hugs!!!!

.new props. {Redding, CA Photographer}

March 5, 2010 – 2:59 pm

One of the most exciting things about being a photographer is finding new locations & new props. I get sooo excited when I find something new!!!! I am in love with vintage lately, sooo definately get really excited when I have a good “vintage find.”  My amazing friend, Sea Jay, was telling me about this really cool umbrella that she saw in a new store here in Redding, Finder’s Keepers, and that I “needed” it!  I knew I had to go check it out!!! Yes, friends, it was worth checking out! Here it is..my latest & greatest, amazing, prop!

Giving back is key to this industry! I really feel strongly that it is so important to give what I know, give what I’ve learned, give what I’ve found, etc. I try really hard to answer all of the e-mails that come through (if I haven’t answered your’s, send it again..) and just be available to anyone who wants to glean from me. I have had the opportunity to teach a Prophetic Photography Class at the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry the last four Tuesday’s. I have students ranging from camera phones, film cameras, point & shoots, to dslr’s. I take the students through very basic photography & even give them the chance to capture people, to capture the heart!!! It is an amazing experience for me. My heart is continually full after every class!!!! I absolutely feel so honored to give away a piece of my passion!!!

Thought I would share  a few pics from the class!!!  Thank you all for radiating beauty!!! I so enjoyed getting to capture each of you!!!!

When new lines ship for Little Posh Princess, it is always in the opposite season…. 2010 Spring/Summer lines are shipping & it’s cooooold outside! Typically we will shoot studio, but today it was beautiful out, sooo we ventured out & enjoyed the warm weather!!! It doesn’t quite look “spring time” yet, but it was such a beautiful day!!!!

Be sure to check out all of the new 2010 Spring & Summer cuteness at www.littleposhprincess.com!

This is Kira’s favorite line to model, Haven Girl!

She wasn’t too excited about this next dress. She thought she was too grown up for it..LOL.. She did an amazing job, though!!

and because I liked it in black & white too…

.love.

February 14, 2010 – 11:29 pm

I hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day! It is one of my favorite holiday’s, just because of the color RED! So my favorite color!!!!  Valentine’s Day this year was sweet & simple. I have been fighting a sinus infection, so ended up watching two romantic movies… The first one, Ben & I ventured out,  and went to see Valentine’s Day. Great movie, entertaining, cheesy, sappy, and all of the above. On our way home, grabbed some Taco Bell– bean burrito–the ONLY thing that sounded good to eat, such a romantic dinner!!! We came home, ate our Taco Bell, then cuddled up & watched….P.S. I Love You!!! I know, right?! AHH! Yeah for LOVE!

A few pics of the girls I have meaning to post showing off their LOVE!!!

Kira modeled this for www.littleposhprincess.com. Absolutely adorable! Perfect for that summer vacation to Disneyland, 4th of July…..a total must!

she was a kick in the pants for this shoot!
