Behind the Lens

Sometime when you are looking for a photographer random questions cross your mind. I know this because these question cross everyones mind (even my own), or they are questions I have been asked! 

Who is it I am hiring? What do they look like? How old is she (a question you all ask me!) Are they outgoing? Are they down to earth? Things you wonder about me, that my photos can't exactly tell you! 

I am always open to telling you about myself so today I am making this blog about my sister and I! 

We finally had a chance to get outside and have some fun with the camera! The first random shoot of the season and hopefully many more to come! We are super outgoing and at one point I think I even made the comment that we were strange individuals because normal people don't dance around outside in front of the camera, but to us that is normal! After using 2 rolls of film on me (being in front of the camera and Amanda behind it) we decided that we should get the digital camera out and shoot for fun (although I think I laughed through 1 entire roll of her film) 

If you don't already know Amanda from previous photos of her, from meeting her at your session, or just because she's a pretty cool individual you should know that she has been and will be helping me out more as she is going to go into graphic design! (so exciting for us) Those of you that know us know that we are almost inseparable and best friends so we are excited to see what this journey of hers is going to do for Chelsea Dale Photography! She's pretty cool and better at being in front of the camera than I am!  

 Okay so enough of my random thoughts for you I will share my photos so I can go enjoy this beautiful weather we are having!

Baby E {6 Months}

E is back in the studio! I can't believe it has been 3 months since our last shoot! Time flies! She is getting so big and well since I am lucky enough to get to see her everyday this is no surprise, but comparing this photo shoot and the photos to 3 months ago we realized how "grown-up" she really is getting! She was able to sit up all by herself. It was fun for us to be able to see her personality come out in the photos! 

I still can't get over how blue her eyes get in the studio! 

Enjoy! 

Baby Thomas

On Tuesday I had the pleasure of meeting baby Tommy. 

He was the tiniest little thing, so cute too. He wasn't really sure about having his picture taken, but we managed to get some cute shots that I hope you will all enjoy! 

Emma

Meet 8 day old Emma. She is officially my youngest & smallest client! She is too perfect! 

Her mom and grandma brought her in to the studio today and I just couldn't wait to take her pictures...then I saw what they had with them and I got even more excited! Pink TuTus, Shamrock skirts, hats, bows, they had it all! I had to go through the pictures right away to see if I would be able to pick a favorite, and well I really can't, but I did pick a few of my favorites to share with you. 

She slept like a baby! I can't wait to do a photoshoot with mom and dad & to watch this little girl grow up! 

Baby Olivia

Meet Olivia. This 6 week old bundle of joy was a pleasure to work with! Such an easy going and relaxed baby, she made my job so simple! Her mom was nervous she was going to give me a hard time, but honestly we couldn't have had a better shoot! 

She was a pleasure to work with and hopefully I will see her again soon! 

Last shoot of the year!

Meet Ellen and Haley! 

I went to high school with Ellen and my sister graduated with Haley. This photo shoot has been much anticipated as Haley goes to school out of state we knew we wanted to do something while she was home on break. I am really glad we were able to work something out! I had so much fun with these two. Between shots we were catching up and talking about the past & present, it is always nice for me to be able to photograph friends! They were so easy going and so fun to work with. I have so many favorites from this shoot I couldn't even pick which ones I wanted to post, so I am going to have to consider this a sneak peak because there are just so many more to look through! Even though they kept saying they weren't photogenic I think they are beautiful. 

It has been a wonderful year and I am so glad I got to finish it off with these two! 

Thank you everyone that had faith in me this year, thank you to all of my clients, friends and family for all of your support. I am looking forward to 2012 and all of the new challenges, clients, and people I will meet along the way!
