Baby #2 is on the way – Maternity Photographer by Footsteps Photography

Sneak peek images for the Engel family before baby #2 makes his arrival.

We even sneaked outside in the middle of the studio session to be able to capture a few images in the beautiful fog.

Tucker is about to become a big brother in just a few weeks from now. I can’t wait to meet his new baby brother soon.  You can see their first maternity session here.

Surprise Military Homecoming – Footsteps Photography Mildenhall

A surprise military homecoming photo session for my good friend Jennifer of J Butterfield Photography. A few of her images are mixed into the video (at the end) before she joined the rest of the family and went in front of the camera.

Its always exciting when I have the pleasure of photographing a homecoming and this one was a little different than others. This one took place at their home. Mom and I plotted and planned out the return of the kids with their dad who had been away for far too long. They knew he would be back soon but had no idea when. So after school I arrived at their house got all set up and dad walked out of his hiding spot to greet his kids who were busy playing out in the garden. It took a few moments but once the little guy caught sight of his daddy he clung on tight and did not let go the whole time. You can tell mom is glad to have her man back and get some help with the kids as well. Welcome back Lt. Col Butterfield.

 

Sit back and watch their reuniting story

Click Mama Click Workshop

We  were SO lucky to get sunshine and beautiful weather (and all the gorgeous yellow flowers blooming in Jennifer’s back garden) for Workshop Day!

We spent the morning going over the “hard content:” aperture, shutter speed, ISO and all the nitty gritty details. Lots of questions and lots of time for hands-on and slideshow examples.

 

Each of the ladies got to take home one of the giftbags loaded with goodies and a workbook and even a camera strap cover which everyone put on their cameras right away.

 

After that, it was time to get outside and test out our new knowledge. The yellow flowers were perfect subjects for practicing depth of field!

 

 

Cupcakes by Cake, Love, and Crossbones by Holland and yummy homemade soups that had been simmering all morning- we were definitely ready to warm up and chat over a hot lunch.

After lunch, we got into more creative aspects of photography: composition, sun flare, negative space, and much more. The ladies had fun dissecting some of our favorite shots and had lots of laughs over kid antics that we’ve all experienced while working with our own little subjects!

We headed back outside for more practice- Jennifer’s daughter Emma was our child model (squirmy and giggly to a T!) and we also walked over to the nearby farm to shoot some gorgeous horses as well.


Jerri the cat, lending a paw at being the inside subject for learning to control light indoors and how to correctly expose for harsh light and avoid the florescent yellow glow of lighting indoors.

 

All in all, it was a fantastic inaugural Click Mama Click workshop, and we’re already planning the next one! Although, it will be very hard to top this group of amazing women who signed on for our first class! Thanks ladies, and we LOVE the shots you’re already producing with your new skills!

The next Click Mama Click workshop will be tentatively scheduled for May 17th with spaces limited.

Sesame Street Smash Cake Session – Footsteps Photography, Child Photographer near RAF Mildenhall

Zack Crider was in the studio for his first birthday smash cake session and he rocked it! I’ve had the pleasure of documenting this little guy’s first year of life starting with his newborn session on the Harley Davidson, onto his six month session and now, his smash cake party.

I think it’s safe to say that Zack’s mom loves plaid as he’s had some variation of it for  most session. I can’t say I blame her though; he’s looks absolutely adorable!

I am lucky to work with some really talented vendors who collaborate with me in creating one-of-a-kind sessions for my clients. Zack loves Sesame Street so we made sure to play up the theme. The bright and colorful cake is by Cake, Love, Crossbones. Zack’s Sesame Street apparel is by Souder’s Kreations. And the hand painted backdrop is a custom Footsteps Photography prop that I made. All the pieces came together to make a bright and kid-friendly set!

Zack took a liking to the dots on the cake and tried to eat them all! We ended up taking them off so he could really dig into his cake.

I love this comment by Zack’s mom: “He made friends with the hat, but just for a short time.”

Happy first birthday, Zack! It’s been such a pleasure to watch you grow over this past year.

Lovely Lilac Newborn Session – Footsteps Photography, Newborn Photographer near RAF Mildenhall

These two beauties looked angelic against the cherry blossom backdrop. The Hollinger girls are gorgeous!

Not to be outdone by her big sister, Heidi gave us lots of great personality throughout her newborn shoot.

This American flag was brought by her parents and had also been used at for her sister’s newborn photos. What a fun family tradition!

Brand new and taking it all in. Heidi was so alert!

Finally, this little mermaid got sleepy just as we placed her on this beautiful purple floral blanket from her nursery. Precious!
