Keate Family

What good sports all of the Keate men/boys were for this shoot despite the chilly weather (and that they had to smile on que). Their new little baby was such a cutie and braved the cold too--we even got a few smiles out of him. Thanks for a fun afternoon and good conversation.

Talk about a handsome boy.

Sally Bytheway Concert

My aunt and uncle sing in a choir and they wanted me to come photograph their Christmas concert. I was scared and a bit overwhelmed at the request because I'd never shot anything like this before. After I got a little confidence booster from my friend Emilie, I felt equal to the task and it turned out to be pretty fun. I felt kind of special to be able to walk around and get right up close to the choir and the conductor as they sang. I only shot during their warm-up because the concert was going to be recorded, so I worked hard for an hour and then got to sit, enjoy, and worry about the precious images that were sitting on my camera. I think they turned out okay.

I love this shot. It was so fascinating to be able to watch the face of the conductor. She was so animated and totally into the moment.
