Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk

Saturday was the 3rd annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk. People around the world sign up to participate in one of 1,111 walks around the world. Des Moines had a walk in the morning downtown and in the evening at the State Fair Grounds. Here are some of my photographs from the day.

Macy - 4 year old

Macy's mom is good about getting her children's pictures taken every year around their birthday. Macy just recently turned 4. She was all smiles today. She made my job easy with her cuteness. The last two poses she set up herself after taking a walk outside and ended up being her mom's favorites.

Reed & Kate

Kate is such a sweety and did great smiling for the camera.  Her big brother Reed really wasn't into getting his picture no matter how many m&m's we used to bribe him, so we had to catch him on the go.

Nelson - Two Weeks Old

This was not a planned session, I was having lunch with my sisters and mom and Nelson was just laying there sound asleep the whole time looking as cute as can be.  The owner of the deli even got out her camera and took a picture of him and then gave them to us next time we were there.  I had some props in my car from a previous session, so I ran home and got my camera and took these pictures at my mom's house.  He is starting to not sleep so soundly during the day like this, so I am glad we were able to capture these photos.  Also happy that I have a sister that will just let me take him and do whatever I want.  Seriously, she is the most relaxed first time mom I have ever met.

Nelson - 2 day old

Your going to be seeing a lot of this guy because he is my new nephew.  I was there for his birth, but I will refrain from showing the birth photos.  I visited him everyday he was in the hospital, but when he was 2 days old I was able to capture these photographs at the hospital.  This was in May and we have already had a few more sessions, so you will be seeing more of him soon.  Hopefully you like to look at him as much as I do.  He is the sweetest baby.

Project 184 - Day 7

Emma & Lily

These two were fun to work with.  Emma was a happy go lucky 3 year old and Lily is a sweet little 1 year old.  Don't they have the most beautiful eyes.

Cade - 18 month old

Cade is one of my favorite subjects.  This is the my third session with him and it was fun to go back and look at photographs from our previous sessions.  He was on the move for this one and didn't want much to do with my formal setup, so I had to catch him wandering around the studio.

In the middle of the session I ran home to get a tie because both his mom and I forgot one.  I handed the camera to his mom and asked to her take some pictures if she could get him to stop moving.  She took the two below and I edited them.  They are two of my favorites from the session.

And a flashback to my favorites from his previous two sessions
