In the studio

Paige — Fri, 03 May 2013 18:49:41 +0000

While I wait for Spring to show up I've been getting some use out of my studio set-up. First, I took a new professional headshot for a wonderful realtor (my mom).

And then I thought I'd try to get a few studio shots of a certain busy two year old. I was pleasantly surprised to get some great shots that truly show his goofy and sweet personality.

Around here...

Egg time

Paige — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 00:41:33 +0000

Dying Easter eggs is one of my favorite things to do! This was the first time for my little guy and I think he had fun. I'm excited for many years of coloring ahead of us.

Photo booth fun

When I was hired to photograph Kassidy's 15th birthday I didn't realize that this was no ordinary party. It was actually her Quinceañera topped off with a theme of "Masquerade Ball". So it seemed like a photo booth setup was in order! The guests had a wonderful time celebrating and I think these photos prove it.

I had so much fun with this photo booth and I'd love to do it again! The cost is $400 for 2 hours. If you think a photo booth should accompany your event, please contact me at: info@paigebphotography.com.

Fast forward one year

Paige — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 06:00:05 +0000

Happy Valentine's Week everyone! I can't believe how fast this year has flown by and how much my baby has changed since last February. Here's a little side-by-side comparison:

"Oh wow"

Paige — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 22:16:39 +0000

"Oh wow" is a phrase I hear often from my little guy. He is 21 months and quite the talker. I have been trying to take notes of some of the cute things he says and does. The days are flying by!

Phrases he says very often: "Oh boy!, what in the WORLD?!, open sesame!, hey you kid!, cowabunga!, what IS that?!, play witchoo Mama/Daddy?!, get up Mama/Daddy!, good morning!, how are YOU?!, feel better soon!, happy birthday!"

Did you notice that everything ends in an exclamation point? That's because he talks at a level 10 all the time. We are trying to teach him to use an inside voice.

Big words he says surprisingly well: "Pumpernickel, porcupine, limousine, cowabunga, centipede, scorpion"

Favorite things or activities (in order of importance): Garbage trucks, scorpions & spiders, the vacuum, the moon, the iron and ironing board, playing with the mayo, mustard, ketchup and ranch bottles from the fridge, trucks, playing kitchen, coloring with markers, going to HyVee (he recognizes HyVee & Target by sight), going to library storytime

Sigh. Needless to say, he keeps us very entertained and equally worn out. There are so many more things I could tell you, but it's neverending. I'm daydreaming of springtime and can't wait to get back outdoors daily with him. And to celebrate his second birthday in April!

Time Capsule

Paige — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 01:38:14 +0000

A couple of months ago I took an e-course from my friend and fellow Shutter Sisters contributor Xanthe Berkeley called Creating Time Capsules. She so beautifully captures her daily life (living in London with her adorable family) and is an absolute master with video editing. Xanthe's course encourages students to create slideshows and videos of their typical "day-in-the-life".

I intended to share my first project much sooner than this, but better late than never! Here's a short slideshow I created to show a typical trip to the park with Quinn.

I'm excited to move on to my next Time Capsule project! I'm just not sure what it will be about yet...

a warm november day

JT, Kate & Declan are great friends of ours and it was so fun to photograph the three of them on a warm day recently. I hope our boys will continue to be friends as they grow up (Quinn likes to lay on his belly on the floor and crawl while saying "baby Declan?").

Family sessions: photo wrap-up

Here's a little recap of my favorite family photos of the season. It's so fun to run around with the kids and get to know new families each year.

Seniors: photo wrap-up

I've been a bit behind on blogging about my sessions this fall. So I decided to just do a little wrap-up and post some of my favorites! Stay tuned for the family sessions wrap-up in a couple of days.
