Portfolio

Ok, this entry will be a work in progress, so keep checking back... I will continually update with photographs that will be printed in my portfolio book. Some posted may not make the final cut... Feedback on any photograph will be greatly appreciated! Enjoy!

D & J

Cowboy Baby

Craig.. this ones for you!

Craig HATES it when I take picture after picture of flower after flower.... But he brought me these beautiful roses last week (just to say "I love you"...how sweet! Aren't all you girls jealous!)

I couldn't help take a few shots because they are so pretty! I wont pain you all with a ton of photos, just this one for now...

Models

I only need to find one more family! Call or email before I book up!

Playdo

Ethan has a new love... playdo. He can play with it and pound it into the table for at least 15minutes. This is quite an accomplishment for him, nothing keeps him entertained this long! I needed to keep him busy so I could get some photographs of him before I cut off the cute blonde locks. I love it, but... turns out I am the only one. Sick of people thinking he is a girl or joking about his "mullett." (now, let's see if I really get brave enough to cut it!)

Models Needed!

HELP! I am looking for some models so I can complete my portfolio book and try out some new techniques! I am looking for newborn, 6month old (just barley sitting up baby), 2 familys, pets, femininity (group of 3-4 women or sisters) and High School Senior.
The sessions will need to be completed by the end of March. I will provide a free session and CD with 10-15 edited images.
If you are intereseted, please email lbateman@wirelessbeehive.com or call 435/840-1685.
(this will be first, come first serve. only needing one session per catagory, except family- I will be doing 2 family sessions.)

My Family

Thanks to my friend Met, we finally have a family photo! I realized that even though Craig and I both take a zillion photographs, we don't have recent family photographs in our house... This will be changing soon! I already printed this photo (11x17, wished I had gone bigger now...) & all I need to do is get it up on the wall....

More stock photographs

Take time...

Found this while I was blog surfing- thought I would share...

Valentines give away contest

Thanks for your entries. And the winner is... Ingrid! She is making a lovely gift for her husband that includes the photograph of her and her daughter that I took last week. I know he will love it!!! She will enjoy her next photo session on the house!

couldn't help myself

...one more picture of Tara!

Ingrid...

I do like the warm glow of the sun from the window to brighten up little faces...
Ingrid, this is the one! To heck with a collage, after all the fooling around I did,
I really like this one all alone!

Tara & Ingrid

(photographs above)

2 of my favorite people to photograph! Here's a peek of todays shoot. Didn't get many photographs take because the kids were having such fun playing! (& the moms talking!) I will post a few more later after I have edited! Ingrid, I hope you love this one as much as I do. You and Tara are beautiful!

Diet Coke and Chocolate

I know it's SO wrong to give Ethan Diet Coke and Chocolate, but I was trying to get him to be cute for the photographs I took the other day. This is what happened after we took of the tie and hat...

This is for you...

Autumn! (she was requesting a new photograph posted today...)

"Bosco" the dog

What a spoiled dog! They rock this little guy to sleep!?*!@! He was a little camera shy, cuz it was his nap time... We will try again when he will be a bit more cooperative!

..Just like Daddy

Ethan loves to put on Daddy's ties and parade around the house. Go figure when I bring the camera out, he decides it isn't so fun.... So, I bribed him with candy & sat him on the table to snap a few photophraphs. (loving black&white on these photographs, they just didn't look right in color!)

Valentine's give away...

Valentine's is right around the corner... Anyone got wonderful plans already? Movie night at home, dinner on the town, or a romantic weekend getaway without the children? Tell me how your planning to show your special someone how much you love them this Valentine's day.

(post it in the comments or email lbateman@wirelessbeehive.com)

Whomever shares the most romantic Valentine's idea or story will win a free photoshoot for you and your sweetie! What a great way to capture and share the love you have, with photograhs! (you will get a gift certificate in time for the big day, and we can schedule the shoot for later.)

Looking forward to your entries!

Portrait break...

We've been taking a break from working so much on portraits and working a bit more on stock photography for a bit. Here's a little taste of what Craig and I shot this last weekend...

(Craig is the MASTER of Stock, these are all his work)

Back to portraits this weekend!

Photographs for Gallery

A few of the photographs I am printing for the gallery...

Random Photographs

I have been thinking about putting some prints in a local gallery and I am looking for input on what people may pay for some lovely framed art? or what people may be willing to pay for...

All suggestions are welcome so I can see what people think is reasonable....

oh, and not just these photographs, whay would you like to see?

(the one of Craig is just to show you what we do for fun at home, pose for crazy photos or set up stock shots, such great family fun!)

Book

Finally used Snapfish to create a book! I just made a small book with random photographs to see how it would turn out since I have never used them before.... it turned out great, and it was soooo super easy and great print quality. I could not make them any cheaper, I paid less than $15 for a 20page 5x7 book. Anyone looking to make a small brag book should use snapfish! If you need any help OR need some photographs for your book- give me a call! (great idea for valentines a beautiful book of pictures of his girl, mother's day and father's day are right around the corner too!)

Black and Whites

Looking around today and realized I really need some updated photographs in my room. I am only using black and whites with a thick white matte and black frame for all the photograhs. Here's a few I have been playing with... thinking of going with a larger photo for the boys on the couch, maybe even canvas...
