Jude – columbus nebraska baby photography

February 29, 2012

I keep wanting to say “little guy” but Jude is a big for being just three month old.  His mommy brought in the guitar for him to use during his session, and that plus the rock star outfit just make him look so cool!

Jude is one cool little dude big guy!

Happy First Birthday Stone – columbus nebraska child photography

February 16, 2012

Stone had all of us cracking up during his session!  I have to say, he is the best caked smasher to date.  As soon as he got  taste of that frosting it was on : ) the cake never stood a chance!

And if these next two don’t make you smile, I don’t know what will!?!

The tiny boots and hat were Stone’s daddy’s when he was little!  Isn’t that so neat!

Thank you Chad and Lindsay for making the trek to Columbus for Stone’s session.   Give the birthday boy a extra snuggle for me tomorrow!

Join me for Simply Loved’s first ever…

February 12, 2012

I’m so excited to share my photography tips, tricks, and techniques to help you fellow moms turn those snapshots of your little ones into professional looking portraits!

It is a myth that it takes an expensive camera, a bag of lenses, and a studio full of lights to get great shots of your babies and children.  So grab your digital camera and join me Sunday March 18th at 1:00pm! We will cover camera settings, natural lighting techniques, posing, and even editing.  I will demonstrate how I do what I do, and show you simple set-ups that you can remake in your own home.

If you are ready to rock your camera and make all your mommy friends drool over your pictures, shot me an email at abowns@yahoo.com to sign-up.

The cost is $65 and the class will take around two hours with an additional hour open for practice shooting  and individual guidance.

*This class is limited to moms (sorry dads) who own and know how to operate a digital camera whether it be a point and shoot or DSLR.  This workshop is not intended for amateur photographers, but rather moms who want to capture amazing photos of their children during life’s everyday magical moments.

and baby makes four – columbus nebraska maternity photography

February 8, 2012

I helped Ashley and her wonderful husband celebrate the arrival of Aurora two years ago and now I am beyond honored to watch Aurora welcome her new little brother or sister into their cute little family.  Aurora is so sweet and loving, she is going to make the best big sister!

I asked Aurora what mommy and daddy where doing during the picture above and to hear her squeal “KIIISSSSING” was so adorable!
