I am so thrilled to announce Silver Pennies has a studio! Right in the heart of downtown Brownsburg just above our frequent partner & favorite shop Ella Mae’s Boutique. I can’t wait to share my excitement with you. I hope to see you there soon!
Special thanks to all of my loyal clients and wonderful friend, Abby McKinney, owner of Ella Mae’s Boutique
I’m so behind in blogging and I plan to catch up, but I’ve been enjoying looking back at 2015 this week getting ready for the New Year. Here’s a few of my favorite newborn images of 2015. So. Much. Sweetness.
When she contacted me, she said the kids might not look at the camera and smile, but she just wanted to capture their love. That’s my kind of session! I think we did that and so much more. I LOVED getting to know this family!!
I’m such a sentimental person. Part of this job I love most is getting to know kids and families. Being real with them and knowing them well allows them to relax in front of my lens and really be themselves. That’s where we catch the magic of childhood, family, & love. As you know, I don’t feel like the photographs of everyone smiling at the camera tells much of your story. Your story isn’t the one day when mom picked out scratchy fancy clothes and yelled at everyone to sit still, look at the camera, sit up straight, and smile. Your story is the way your husband looks at you when you’re looking at your daughter. The way your son laughs ’till tears when you use that one silly voice. The way your children love & drive each other crazy. The look she gives when you call her name just before she runs away laughing at the game of chase she’s created. While the days of parenting sometimes go slowly, the years go way too fast and you need to capture it. It’s your story. Their story. Your family.
The Roseberry Family is one of those familes I don’t have to pose. They just naturally play and snuggle and enjoy each other. Krista even rewarded the kids with a carmel apple after a great sunset session at the orchard. This was one of my favorite fall days this year. Thank you for choosing me as your family photographer. Watching your children grow is just so much fun.
I love a good story.
I think if I weren’t taking pictures, I’d enjoy being a writer, lost in a children’s picture book, daydreaming.
It’s been a while since I started Silver Pennies and I find I’m still learning and defining my story, my STYLE. I think its likely to evolve a bit here and there over time, forever. But there is one thing I know for sure.
I AM A STORY TELLER.
There are lots of styles of beautiful photography out there. If you’ve looked at my work, it’s more often than not, LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY. So you might wonder, what does that MEAN?
Lifestyle photography combines the candid nature of photojournalism with the preparedness of traditional studio portraiture.
Lifestyle photography is a type of photography that mainly aims to capture portraits and people in real life situations in an artistic manner and the art of everyday. The primary goal is to tell STORIES about people’s lives.
This is one of the reasons there isn’t a Silver Pennies Studio. Your everyday life doesn’t take place in front of a backdrop or perfectly posed in a room you’ve never been in before. This is also why I don’t use props or really even pose my subjects very much. There is arranging without staging. Any props in my images are YOURS and have MEANING to you.
My favorite photographs from every session are candid.
Most of my work is organic & natural looking. That is by design. It is quite simply what moves me. I think it’s the best way to showcase your connection to your family. There is a timelessness & purity in sweet, natural, happy people, just being themselves.
So for my work, it will be laid back, simple in color, style, and posing. Sessions will be outside, in your home, or in a sentimental location 100% of the time. It’s the best way to illustrate you & your LOVE.
I am a story teller.
I can’t wait to tell yours.
