Mohawk Photography Blog

This is Taylor. It was so much fun going out and working with her. She was very fun and easygoing and willing not to run away screaming as I did some horrible impressions of poses from America’s Next Top Model. There is a reason she is in front of the lens and I am behind it.

I do owe her an apology though. This was supposed to be up last week but life has a funny way of getting in the way. So here goes. Taylor I apologize for not getting this to you sooner and am looking forward to showing you the rest very soon.

Here is a peek of my new bud’s 3 month shots.

As you can see he is as cute as they come.

Sorry for the long wait. It has taken me a while to organize and get rolling again but here I am back for your reading and viewing pleasure. The new site is up and running. I am really stoked about that. I love to show off your personalities and the new site is all about doing that.

Here is a teaser of Wes’ 1 Year pictures.

He has grow so much since his 6 month pictures. More soon.

Until then…

Welcome back or sorry for the absence, however you want to look at it.  I had a death in the family and have been coping with that along with busy family schedule and haven’t been posting like I should have been.  Obviously.

Well enough of that, here is a sneak peek at Wesly’s 6 month pics.  He was a little more mobile this time so he had a little more fun.

Hope that has piqued you interest.  I should be finished with the rest tomorrow so there will be more cute baby to come.

So until the have fun.

Emma Monday first thing: “I need clothes”

I thought it was so cute that she wrapped herself in a hand towel I had to share.

Here is my friends’ son Wesley.  He’s just over three months here.

He had his bath time while I was over and wanted to show off his cool towel.

My couples workshop editing was delayed again because of Dance Out the dance competition I shoot the action shots for.  I was scrambling last week to get everything together for the weekend.  Then the weekend started on Friday night and finally finished up about 9 Sunday night.  I spent yesterday recovering and filling orders.  Got some cool shots I’ll put up in a couple of days.  Farewell until then..

I have been promising dance pics for a while now.  Now I’m ready to deliver.  These are pictures from my kids’ showcase.  It is a performance of all of the dances that the studio is competing for the year.  If you have ever been involved with competitive dance it is nice to have them all preformed in one three hour slot rather than over a three day weekend.  I’m fortunate enough to actually enjoy a break for showcase because I get to watch with the rest of the crowd instead of from the side of the stage.  It is the one time the kids preform that I get to take off the stage hand hat at kind of watch.  It’s rather hard to watch a show with a camera jammed to your eye the whole time.  Well that’s enough rambling from the peanut gallery on with the show. 

OK I figured out my picture problems.  Here are some pictures from the shoot with my niece and crew

So Cute

Here are the announcements 

Over last weekend I got the chance to take some more pictures of the kid’s dance team at their showcase.  Heres a preview

I really enjoy seeing what I get in the pictures but the downer is that I don’t really get to watch the performances.  Kind of ironic I know, but chasing dancers across the stage with the lens is not the same as watching the dance.  It’s a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, well not so much blood as sweat and tears, you try holding a 10 lb camera to your eye for 4 hours, but the ends justify the means in this case.  All of the dances are really talented and fun to capture on “film.” It is going to take me a while to get through all 8000+ pictures but when the mountain has been climbed I will get some posted.

I had the opportunity to take my niece’s pictures and conjure up an announcement or two.  It was an interesting shoot.  All of the previous time I had seen her you could have driven a Mac truck right next to her and she would not have twitched.  But of course you put lights and a camera in the room and she felt the need to be a little uncooperative.  That was not the first time it has happened to me and it will not be the last.  

So I just waved my magical wand, “patience,” and we were able to came up with some great shots for the announcements.  As soon as iI can figure out what is wrong with my file uploader for this blog stuff you will be able to see them too.  Needless to say I am not happy about spending half a day trying to figure out the problem and getting no where.

On a different tangent I am attending another shoot day with Kelley and Josh in the river market tomorrow.  I’m not sure what decade we will be walking into but instead of individuals we are going to be photographing couples.
