Monthly Archives: August 2011 The final stop on our short trip to Santorini is the tiny village of Oia. It was our last night on the island and we arrived just in time for one of its famous sunsets. This is the place you picture in your head when you think of Greece – and the most photographed too! You’ll see its spectacular view sprinkled […]  A few weeks ago I had the opportunity photograph my niece’s newborn photos. Because I was away on vacation and my sister-in-law was in the process of moving, we couldn’t schedule the session until a month after (a big no-no for newborn photography, which usually takes place within the first few days after the baby […]

Amen!

They are adorable, these photos! I guess it’s part of the process – finding out what kind of photographer you are, how and in which categories you prefer to work. I like to challenge myself, but when it’s too far from my comfort zone I get very nervous that the results will be dreadful. Something that really interests me – and I find much more difficult than I thought – is interior design photography.
August 15, 2011 - 7:33 am
Love this!!! I actually, (sorry but) am very tired of all those posed, props pictures! I love the “moment” photos! mix between planned and candid. and that is what I want to do. what I find myself most comfortable doing!
August 15, 2011 - 7:49 am
That would be a HUGE task – love this & can’t wait to see more!
August 15, 2011 - 7:52 am
What a sweet photo! And I’m with you … I love pictures that capture life, most of all!
August 15, 2011 - 8:28 am
So simple and oh so beautiful! Love it Maddy!
August 15, 2011 - 8:33 am
I feel both types of photography are equally wonderful, look forward to seeing the rest of the photo’s.
August 15, 2011 - 8:33 am
I like your style and I think you do a fantastic job without using props. When I look at your photo shoots (and others) I realize that I don’t document enough of the important stuff in my life. I have tons of photos of my cooking and baking, but almost NONE of my family. The next time I have a milestone, I’m hiring a professional photographer… will you come to Delaware? :)
August 15, 2011 - 9:08 am
Kids are known for their playfulness. Sometimes posed pictures, full of props, seem so unnatural when it involves children – it’s nice to see that you are staying true to their nature and “real” behavior. Love this shot! :)
August 15, 2011 - 9:45 am
i never sweat as much as I do when I photograph a baby. it is hard work!!! This shots is adorable and evokes emotion…great shot!
August 15, 2011 - 9:58 am
I used to want stylized pics of my kids –especially when I first had Josh. We did one session and while I thought it was nice and all, it just didn’t feel like me, like us. I love the photos you take, Maddy. Don’t ever be who you’re not comfortable being. :)
August 15, 2011 - 10:26 am
I love this photo sooo much. I love the connection between mother/daughter..
August 15, 2011 - 10:42 am
I agree! Challenging yourself and stepping out of your comfort zone is important with any profession, especially photography. But it’s also just as important to figure out your own style because you don’t want to necessarily be the jack of all trades and master of none. It’s like any fashion trend, you can embrace it, make it your own or you can pass on it altogether. Newborn photography is something I’m still deeply interested in, but I also want to approach it in a way that’s true to my artistic style.
August 15, 2011 - 11:44 am
I must be soooo hard Maddy. But I adore this photo. I’m so ready for my niece’s birth (in just a few more days)! So excited!
August 15, 2011 - 12:04 pm
You are an excellent photographer and you have to do what makes you as a photographer happy. I still have to contact you by the way to see when we could meet up, I can’t wait for our first shooting :)
August 15, 2011 - 12:34 pm
You have a style all your own that says oodles and oodles more with one photo than a book of Anne Geddes images. I can’t wait to see the shots…..I miss you, my friend! xoxoxoxo
August 15, 2011 - 12:45 pm
I am in love with that photo, M!! And good for you for understanding your niche! And you are wonderful at it, my dear!
August 15, 2011 - 1:39 pm
i prefer your baby photo, maddy. the photos in the link you provided are beautiful, no doubt. however, most of them looked a bit awkward. your photos are natural — how can they get any better than that?
August 15, 2011 - 2:04 pm
I agree with you that it is rather difficult.
August 15, 2011 - 2:25 pm
This photo is great, Maddy! I’m sure all the photos came out fantastic!
August 15, 2011 - 3:08 pm
Fantastic! I agree with your take on capturing emotion rather than something that is too styled. I feel the same way about wedding photography – the overly posed fake shots always bore me. Give me a good candid anytime!
August 16, 2011 - 2:16 am
I’ve gone the props and non proms route…I prefer the more natural photos in the end!
August 16, 2011 - 8:55 am
Gorgeous photograph Maddy! I just love the emotion in this one. And I hear ya on newborns, I have never sweat so much in my life as when doing them. :-) It looks so sweet and easy, but it’s sooo not. Love newborns though, they are very special angels.
August 16, 2011 - 10:12 am
the photo is amazing dear! love the candid style of photographs rather than too artificial props for baby shoot.
August 16, 2011 - 10:23 am
I couldn’t imagine a newborn shoot being anything but difficult, totally cute and worth it, but like you said, patience is very necessary. Love this!
August 16, 2011 - 10:35 am
I love this. The softness of the moment, the dreamy whites and grays, and the lovely contrast brought in by the dark hair and the sweet tattoo…just gorgeous!!!
August 16, 2011 - 2:23 pm
Well, hard work or no, I’d say you have BEAUTIFUL results. Precious.
August 16, 2011 - 2:29 pm
This is very soft, tender and precious – love it. :-)
August 16, 2011 - 7:26 pm
And you so such an *amazing* job at capturing LOVE Maddy! Props and setups are not needed when you can capture the beauty of love! :) This photo is beautiful.
August 18, 2011 - 10:22 am
Maddy I’ve missed you! Too cute. You did wonderful! I can only imagine the process behind it. I have a hard enough time working with flowers in stills. :)
August 20, 2011 - 6:28 pm
The above picture is beautiful, and I’m like you, I like natural photos rather than posed/styled, and in all honesty, posed newborn pics kinda creep me out, lol.  It’s been a while since I did a Fave Five, so I figured now would be a good time as any to bring you up to speed with what I’m enjoying these hot summer days with regards to books, tv, movies and music. I’ve discovered some new favorites and reacquainted myself with an old ones. Are you interested?? […]
August 12, 2011 - 12:32 am
hey maddy… ahhh… this nes blogspere is amazing.. i love the new one… loves
August 12, 2011 - 2:26 am
I just saw Beats, Rhymes & Life — On a date! He got major points for liking both documentaries and 90’s hip hop :) I really want to read & watch The Help, but I don’t think I’ll get to it soon (SO many books in my closet to read before my next yard sale!), but I do want to read it eventually and then watch the movie on Netflix or from Redbox, I guess :)
August 12, 2011 - 6:55 am
You are fascinating. I am buying my Mama that book today : )
August 12, 2011 - 7:37 am
I do so love your Fab 5s. I have yet to watch Mad Men (though friends tell me it’s right up my ally) or read The Help … though it is in my stack! :)
August 12, 2011 - 9:25 am
Haha! I have only seen the first season of Jersey Shore, but I can’t help but to love it. Snooki is such a character – I secretly want to be her BFF! :P
August 12, 2011 - 12:07 pm
I am loving 3 out of 5 of those things! Especially The Help!!! It’s one of the most amazing books I’ve EVER read, and Mad Men is just making me upset that I wasn’t born in that era because it’s so awesome! Kind of ashamed to say this, but I can’t wait for the next episode of Jersey Shore in Italy hahahaha. Belly B :)
August 12, 2011 - 12:08 pm
I loved The Help…I got through it in 3 days. I am a little worried that the movie may disappoint, in my head I envisioned things a little darker than they look like they are portrayed on screen. Also, if you like Mad Men (I love that show), get caught up on Breaking Bad. sundays at 10 pm. You may need to netflix the first 2 seasons, but it is an unbelievably good show!
August 12, 2011 - 1:46 pm
I’m intrigued with Mad Men, but I think I missed the boat on that one, I don’t know which season they’re in now. I’ve given Jersey Shore a go, but it just doesn’t compel me, though I’m intrigued about their trip to Italy and how they are perceived over there.
August 12, 2011 - 1:52 pm
I like your FF!!! I hear The Help movie is a good adaptation for the book too!
August 12, 2011 - 2:44 pm
so i still haven’t started watching mad men. i know. what is wrong with me? i bought the first 2 seasons, and they’ve just been sitting there, starting back at me all summer. but get this. now that it’s on netflix, i think i might get DH to watch it with me!
August 12, 2011 - 4:17 pm
Will definitely need to look at The Help… and pick up watching Mad Men again. I enjoyed the show so much!
August 12, 2011 - 9:59 pm
the book seems really interesting! i’ll take a look at it (loooove a good book!)
August 12, 2011 - 10:22 pm
Been meaning to read the Help, I’m going to have to get it!
August 13, 2011 - 10:47 am
I am reading The Help now! I actually checked it out from the library not really knowing much about it beyond the fact that it looks interesting… and then I started reading all over the web about the movie…
August 13, 2011 - 4:36 pm
mad men sounds like a show i would enjoy! I hope it gets to sweden soon :)
August 13, 2011 - 10:28 pm
I loved The Help and I just saw the movie today… it really got some great conversations started in my family. I’m giving the book to my (almost) 80 year old grandmother to read and I plan to buy her the DVD for Christmas. Oh, and I love Mad Men…. love love LOVE. It’s very interesting to watch that show after seeing The Help. Both that book and that television show take place at the same time, different location. America is a very interesting country.
August 14, 2011 - 10:20 am
Mad man is something that I would love to watch.. I have so favourites too.. I just can’t watch Jersey Shore.! :(
August 14, 2011 - 12:15 pm
I’ve been wanting to read The Help – definitely before I see the movie! And haha, love Jersey Shore!
August 14, 2011 - 9:03 pm
I have to start watching Mad Men! Everybody I know is crazy about it!!!
August 15, 2011 - 7:44 am
I just couldn’t get into the book. My mother in law mailed it to me because she thought I’d love it. BUT i did see the movie this weekend and I gotta admit that it was pretty darn cute
August 15, 2011 - 9:41 am
I agree about the contrast of The Help and Mad Men. Even though racial relations were not ideal in the Mad Men world of NYC, it’s far better from the racial dynamics in the South during that very same time. The world of The Help was much darker and segregation was undeniable.
August 16, 2011 - 7:13 pm
I haven’t read The Help but I’m thinking I will try it, I trust your taste in books :):)
August 20, 2011 - 6:49 pm
Now that I’ve finally finished Harry Potter, my next book/movie is The Help! I can’t wait to see the movie! I’m on a big dance music kick too, so I’ll have to check out this Mr. Saxo Beat, because I totally discovered Florence an the Machine based on your recommendation, so I have high hopes! Jersey Shore in Italy is *magical*–it is trashy reality TV at it’s best, and my crush on PaulyD is still going strong, lol. As for RHoBH, I’m so sad for Taylor, I wonder if they’ll even air the season. I feel bad for her, but I really want to see season 2. Does that make me a horrible person? #shrug |
