As part of our continuing apprenticeship under Rich, Kellie and I spent yet another Tuesday practicing — because we know that is the only way to reach our goals! So, although the weather was a bit gloomy and overcast, we shot anyway. Kellie actually took more photos of me than I realized, and here are...
Jason and Kellie came to hang out on Sunday afternoon, and I decided to take them in our front yard for a bit of photography practice on some adults! Since I’m incessant with taking photos of Alana for my learning, I wanted to use some different subjects for a ten minute session. Not that I...
Bri, Heidi and I have been friends since our very first semester of college back in 1999. It’s so strange to think that we’ve actually known each other that long. Living in dorm rooms right next to each other those ten years ago paved the way for lifelong friendships and many, many laughs. It was...
Thursday was fun and oh, so entertaining! As planned, Tobi, Brittany, Shannon and myself met up at wonderful Greenlife for a girls’ lunch out. We brought the wee ones and they just never disappoint. They are full of life, antics, and surprises. Gone are the days of sitting with a few girlfriends and having a...
Just for fun last week, I took Alana on our back deck while it was snowing. Obviously, she was too young to appreciate the snow last year when she was just a tiny tot. But I was hoping she’d notice and enjoy it this time around. I was SO disappointed last week when it snowed...
We have had the immense pleasure this past year of working with the acclaimed Steve Hamaker with Southside Creative Group… …And exciting things are afoot at Rich Smith Photography! A new website is in the works, along with a new blog, new wedding Collections, and a new logo by the ever-talented Steve! All in all,...
At the insistence of Amber’s dear friends Corey and Jill, she decided that it was high time for a day-long puree-fest. You see, the McNabbs had gotten Amber a food processor along with two books for Christmas: Sneaky Chef and Deceptively Delicious. The intent is to prepare meals for your family that are healthy and nutritious,...
Last Thursday we had the honor and priviledge of beginning Alana’s second year coverage by the amazing Amber Holritz. For those of you who have been following my blog for a while, you are aware that Amber did an entire Baby’s First Year for Alana (summarized here) which entailed six sessions and began with Alana’s birth...
After Amber left the session on Thursday (will be blogged within moments!), I grabbed our camera and snapped a few photos of Alana since she was in a very animated mood! One thing I deliberately wanted to document is the way in which she drinks from her sippy cup. She always, without fail, tips it...
