Debbie and Scott Married

Scott and Debbie were married a few days after Thanksgiving. I had a delightful time sharing a special day with these great people. Scott and Debbie had an intimate ceremony with family and close friends followed by a playful reception. I think  you’ll enjoy these photos.

A New Year Give-A-Way

Just a reminder for you to enter our give-a-way by Monday night!
 
 
Obviously, photography is very important to me and Rob. We love capturing our family’s love and smiles. We enjoy doing this for other people as well.

  • FREE retouching of your favorite images.
  • FREE (web-sized) copies of your favorite images.

Stipulations:

  • We’d like to offer this to someone who really needs it so we’re limiting it to people who have not had professional portraits taken in the last 5 years.
  • The photoshoot will need to take place in February 2012.

Just send us an email at rjsnow@rjsnowphotography.com and let us know you’d like to be entered in our giveaway. You may also nominate someone you know. We will send the entries through a random-number generator to select the winner. The deadline to enter is January 9th at midnight.

A Simple Portrait

Photo & Video Sharing by SmugMug

This a special image of my youngest daughter Caroline. We have similar images of our other two kids and display all three in our living room. We are so proud of our wonderful children. 

I love simple lighting. It stays out of the way, and lets the beauty of the subject shine. I used a single umbrella to the right of my daughter. The speedlight cast light through the 60-inch umbrella, creating nice catch-lights and creating smooth shadows. I shot this image at 1/200s, f/5.0, ISO200, using our D90 and 35mm f/1.8 lens. Let me know what you think.

My Yard In Pictures

We haven’t gotten to fixing up our front yard yet. All it is is weeds and more weeds. Next spring we’ll be redoing the whole thing, but for now, it is what it is.

One October evening the kids and I went outside in the early evening to play and wait for Rob to get home from work. I took the camera out to document what I saw. It was just a fun little exercise to get myself looking for shots. I recommend it to anyone. Take the camera somewhere you always go; somewhere that doesn’t seem noteworthy or of any interest whatsoever. You’ll find interest, maybe get some pretty cool shots while you’re at it, and train your eye to see what others may not.

 

I walked over this so many times without thinking a thing about it. Enter camera in my hand, and all of a sudden it’s fascinating.

 

I love the colors on this piece. The yellow is striking. The white striping is art.

 

I found this hiding amongst my grass.

 

 

And many, many of these.

 

 

I didn’t even know these chrysanthemums had been planted until they popped out this fall.  I love the vibrant color in this…

 

but also love it in black and white so that the detail of each bloom can really stand out.

 

 

This is one of our struggling trees in the warm autumn light.

 

 

My succulent. I love the black and green. It’s so striking.

 

 

Aaannnddd…my doormat.

 

 

I had fun practicing my skill and now I have an interesting documentation of my yard. Cool!

J.K.J.A.E

Those are the initials of the Hymas family, if you were wondering. They’re so cute together!

 

Awww!

 

Another awwww!

 

 

We weren’t planning on taking Allen’s picture this time around, but he hopped right on the stool as we were taking test shots. Cute.

 

Proud, proud parents.

Sisters: Racheal & Kaylee

These two sisters are my nieces. Aren’t they sweet?

Racheal is a go-getter, intelligent, curious, and passionate.

 

 

Kaylee is easy-going, calm, smiley, and content.

 

They complement each other perfectly.
