Maddy's photo shoot (from October)
I am just trying to copy all of my photo shoots onto my photography blog. I have added more from my original post on The Eckenrode Exclusive....
well over the course of this month Maddy and I put our heads together to be creative and do her school pictures. This year I wanted to shoot her pictures instead of having her aunt Amanda take them and so I was super nervous because I wanted to do just as good of a job and make sure she loved my pics as much as she has loved her school pictures in previous years. We took a few in Caledonia but the majority of the photos (and the nicer ones that we both liked more) were taken just down the road at Airport Park. I finished editing them tonight and finally let her see them. Her response: "I like 'em! You did a great job Mom. They look really good"
Here are some of my personal favorites...... I am going to post more on Facebook in a few days

Highlands photo shoot
This is the same post that I created on my family blog (The Eckenrode Exclusive). I am just trying to get all my photo shoots on one site :-)
Two Sundays ago, I took pictures for a family that are very dear friends of ours. They have not had family pictures taken since their youngest was a toddler. (FAR TOO long in my book!) My birthday present to Devon: let's get some family pictures taken :-) She readily agreed. Here are some of our favorites from the day

Preggers Photo Shoot
A good friend of mine, Erin, is due to have her 2nd child in March. I approached her a few weeks ago asking if she was interested in letting me build some experience by using her for a preggers photo shoot. I think she was a little apprehensive, but agreed once I gave her some of my ideas and that we would only do what she was comfortable with.
Unfortunately, since it was January, we weren't really able to shoot too many pictures outside and then inside photos were a challenge simply because I don't have an actual photo studio to provide optimal backgrounds, lighting, etc.... Another minor challenge was that even though Erin is almost 8 months, her baby bump is quite minimal so it became a little comical finding the best angle to make sure the bump was noticeable.
The end results I am happy with and so is the Mommy-to-be :-)

Stay tuned for Baby Chloe pictures this spring :-) YAY!!

Out playing
Even though it was just for a little bit, Rocca and I had to get out in the snow today and play for a little bit.
Our neighbor Greg was UNBELIEVABLY kind enough to snow blow the driveway for us this morning (saving Maddy and I the job of doing it) and so it was all fun and games when Rocca and I headed out this afternoon.
