Samantha - 5 months

I've been sooo busy and haven't posted in forever!  Here is Samantha's official 5 month portrait!  Seamless pink background paper, 2 alien bee B800's (softbox for main, umbrella for fill), Canon 20D (160 and 5.6), 50mm lens.  Post processing:  Kodak digital gem airbrush.  Teacup from the walmart garden center.

New Image Set : Chubby Baby!

Here's Samantha at 3 months!  I bought the Bumbo Baby Sitter from Target.com and love it!  She is very happy to sit in it and it is a great prop for babies who cannot quite sit up, but can support their head.  The pink pom-pom hat is from From My Heart to Your Head - check out her CUTE hats!  To see all the images from this session along with the technical info, visit http://www.shuttermomstudio.com/chubbybaby.htm

New Image Set: Black and White Dress

Here's Katie in her new dress from Target (don't you love that store?!?).  We did some studio shots first (where she was much happier), then ventured into the backyard for the outdoor shots.  I found the chair at a local antique shop.  To see all the images from this session, along with all the technical info, go to http://www.shuttermomstudio.com/blackandwhitedress.htm

Six Weeks

The last six weeks have flown with Sam.  She's getting big fast and showing more personality.  For all the images from this session along with set up and technical info, go to http://shuttermomstudio.com/sixweeks.htm

Sisters

Two gorgeous sisters...one 4 years old and the other 6 weeks.  I used a seamless paper background in "sand" and covered the baby's "bouncy seat" with fabric I found at walmart.  For all the images from this session along with all the technical info (camera settings and photoshop processing), go to http://www.shuttermomstudio.com/sisters.htm

4 years old

Hard to believe my "baby" just turned four years old!  This is her official 4 year portrait.  I found the bench on target.com.  I love it but it was a bear to put together!  Makes a nice prop, though.  For all of the images from this session, along with camera setting info, go to www.shuttermomstudio.com/fouryearsold.htm
