Greta's First camping trip
The idea of camping came to Greta and I this winter as we watched episodes of a fishing show that I do some filming for. She had lots of questions, and became excited as we began to dram about our summer camping trip! As the far planned out date approached work and life got busy, the weather got crazy hot, and patience were running thin. The excitement and eagerness still grew. I new that it was going to be special. I knew that these had the potential to be fond lifetime memories.
Then I started to get nervous.
What if something bad happened?
What if Greta doesn't have fun?
My anxiousness grew until the car ride out. I told Greta about how I was scared she wouldn't have any fun. She quickly confessed she was also nervous. We had a moment, and we assured each other that we were going to have a great time! It was then that I knew this trip was really important to the both of us, and the stress melted away slowly.
We were off! With one last stop to Target for the rest of our camping supplies.
Once we picked out the perfect camping spot. "We" set up everything in the blazing sun.
Schifsky's Maternity Portraits
It was such an honor to capture these beautiful moments in this amazing young family's life. I have known Timmy and Kelly for a few years now, and actually photographed them separately in the past. Timmy has graciously acted in some of my video projects. I worked with Kelly on a fashion blog. While those were fun projects, this was by far my favorite. It's photo shoots like these that give me the passion for photography. I feel so privileged to know this sweet couple and to give them photos of this moment in their lives that they'll never forget. Kelly's desire for this shoot was to freeze a memory - the memory of their pregnancy journey before having their first son. Kelly is on the verge of having this baby right now, and my excitement overflows for them. I'm so glad I was able to be a part of this moment in their lives and to snap some shots to save it forever for them.
