mine | Cypress Child Photographer

I have to admit, when my friend Kim (of Kim Milburn Photography) talked about using hats in her photography, I rolled my eyes a bit. You see, I just couldn’t picture it. Kim’s style is very unique and I think she’s an expert in using hats with her subjects. Me? Not so much. I go with the “simple is better” approach. Well, the truth is, I’ve never used them! Little ol’ me was afraid of them, so to speak. And now? I’ve found what might be the coolest and cutest hats around. I first saw these hats from NuxieMade probably a year ago (beware of clicking the link! It’s taking you to etsy. And if you’re anything like me, you’ll be spending hours upon hours looking at the amazing and creative art and items that these creative genious’ provide!). But I never pictured my kiddos wearing them. Now that I have them (5 of them!!) I think I’m totally crushing on the hat movement :) And well, I do have some of the cutest models around. That helps a bit too!

miPhone Photos Friday

Clearing out the phone pics today and thought I’d share a few  :)

 

My most favorite photo app has become the Shake it Photo App. I also love the Hipstamatic app for taking old-school like photos. I have to admit, I’m a bit of an app junky :) I love being able to create photos with nothing but my phone. It’s more simple and more methodical than with my work camera. Do you have any favorite photo apps? please share!

miPhone | Cypress Area Children’s Photography

I am so excited for today! Today my friend, Kim, and I are going on an adventure! We are seeking out new locations where we could possibly shoot our sessions! Our creative souls are hoping to be fed. But not only that, we get to spend the day together conjuring up great new ideas for our businesses! I can’t wait to share with you what we find! And I’m so excited to share with you a new idea for my blog that will hopefully have you laughing, interested and connected!

Inspired by the phenominal Lindsey Stradtner, I thought I’d share a few pics from my iPhone. A collection of snippets from my daily life, including food (ha! there’s not much of these anymore as I started watching what I eat. Kendall, if you’re watching, no, that chocolate chip cake and PB cookies were eaten last year, long before I committed to changing!), fun, family and iphone art.

A few weeks ago, I asked my friend and fellow photographer to come out to my Andre’s flag football game. Now, I have to admit that I tried my hand at this sports photography thing. But you know what they say: stick to what you’re good at. So, with that being said, you can understand why I called Sonny out to come do his magic :)   Sonny Cantu owns Gametime Photography and has been shooting action and sports for a long time…long enough to perfect it, which I think I won’t ever be able to do…I like  my subjects sitting still (well, as still as they can get, anyway).

Check out Sonny’s work here: http://gametimephotos.com/ and leave some blog love for my little man Andre :)
