2010-05-18T08:11:00.004+09:00

For months now I have been telling myself I would enter one of the photo challenges at I Heart Faces So this weeks theme caught my attention quickly. Baby "A" is one of the sweetest babies I have had the opportunity to photograph.

Go treat yourself

For all the month of January, Yuki-San has graciously opened up the wall of his restaurant to a few of us Okinawa Photographers.

Trash the Dress - FootSteps Photography Okinawa

2009-11-23T15:05:00.000+09:00

Trash The Dress is about trashing or otherwise having fun in a wedding dress or a formal ball gown in a unexpected location. These were all taken in grungy locations no formal gown would normally go to give contrast between the beauty and the grunge. What a great way to trash your dress from this seasons ball or holiday party.

A good friend of mine, Vanessa from Charming Memories, and I went out with Julienne to trash this dress and have a great time doing it. I look forward to the next time I get to work with these fantastic ladies.

Smash that cake.... FootSteps Photography Okinawa

2009-11-23T13:58:00.000+09:00

Baby D turned 1 year old last week. Awww it is hard to believe that it has already been a year since I went to his home to photograph him after his birth. He was and still is such a cutie. Now beginning to be a little man.

Then.

Now.

He had a lot of fun with the cake his mommy made just for him. It was gone in no time.

Then it was off to the castle ruins for some outside fun with him and his parents.

The fabric that is in the bucket with Birthday boy D is straight from this website. www.shopthedew.com She is located on Okinawa and has several cute fabrics and patterns available. The best part is you can touch, feel, and coordinate the fabrics in person instead of depending on the colors online to match. She currently carries Michael Miller fabrics , Robert Kaufman fabrics, etc. and Amy Butler patterns, Bananafana patterns, ModKid patterns, Pink Fig patterns.

A great beach close to home - FootSteps Photography Okinawa

2009-11-23T13:35:00.000+09:00

This beach has to be one of the best beaches for families with small children. Beach, rocks, grass, beautiful views and even a small park. Also for this family it is almost out their backdoor from their house.

Beautiful colors were abound today during the shoot. I decided to play around a little with an old-school method I learned during film development classes in collage with this one only with digital methods.

Just the kids this time - FootSteps Photography Okinawa

2009-11-23T13:25:00.000+09:00

Get ready for a bit of an overload on blog posts as I have been busy busy busy and neglected updating the blog.

Here are a few of just this families two cute, silly and very active kids. It made for one tiring photo shoot keeping up with these two. As once down by the water I don't think anyone get to stay dry. A wave came up and I was wet up to my shoulders. It could be that I was lying down in the sand at the time.

Having a laugh together

Brother sister and puppy too

I loved the dark stormy clouds off in the distance with the white wave froth and blue green ocean in front.

Studio Short and Sweet session - FootSteps Photography Okinawa

2009-11-05T07:45:00.001+09:00

A couple of weeks ago my good friend and her daughter came over and we did some quick photos of her in the most beautiful dress her daddy got her when he was TDY.

I finally got to use one of my new backdrops with her. I think the colors on these photographs would make PERFECT metallic prints as well as beautifully wrapped canvases.

Okinawan Culturesque photo session

2009-11-04T21:14:00.000+09:00

Taking a look at all of the photos from this family session will just make you want to scream OKINAWA. They were all troopers. Anyone who has been on Okinawa for the last month knows that it is going to rain on the weekend. Yep it rained on us on and off the entire time. We just had to duck and cover for a few short bursts of time. It did not seem to both the kids any.

It's baby season

2009-11-03T13:05:00.000+09:00

It must be baby season on Okinawa. Two newborns in one week is rare for me but this sweet little girl came as the second newborn baby photographed a few days after the newborn boy was in the studio. It seems that every newborn gets immediately hungry under the studio lights as did this little girl. She finally fell asleep and we got some great shots with help from mom and dad.

HUGE Holiday sale - FootSteps Photography Okinawa

2009-10-23T15:04:00.001+09:00

I absolutely LOVE canvas art prints! This 20×29″ canvas along with its friends arrived the other day as a little yellow slip at the Post office. I was so excited to get the package home open them up and put them up on my walls. I couldn’t help but to take some photos of it. The beauty of canvas is that they are ready to hang, no framing required! I also love that they have a beautiful texture to them, and that the edges can be bordered with a solid color or have the image wrapped around the edge.

And great news from my awesome canvas vendor, who is offering a huge holiday sale! I am passing this sale on to you, and it’s a great savings – 10%-20% off!
If you would like to purchase a canvas from a past session, or would like to pre-purchase a canvas for your booked session, please contact me ASAP because the sale ends on November 28th!!

Take 1, Take 2 Take 3.... Moment captured FootSteps Photography Okinawa

2009-10-19T15:01:00.005+09:00

I love it when the true personality of my clients come through into there photographs. Which is it? Take 1, 2, 3, or even 4?? Who knows maybe a little of all of them. Whichever it is, it represents them as a family with a little of the sillies mixed in.

(Double click to see image full sized and all the great facial expressions)

Then there are times when you find out the REAL reason for a facial expression captured was really the younger brother letting on rip onto the older brother. And then you just have to laugh at the expressions.

I love my clients. They are all so much fun to work with and share in your family moments. Throughout these past few months of the holiday photo season I have came to a realization. My absolute favorite style of family and portrait photography is that of a photo journalistic style where the photos in a series tell a story rather. So when displaying your images rather than just one large photo on the wall you have a series of them.

Newborn Boy site model for FootSteps Photography - Okinawa

2009-10-01T13:54:00.002+09:00

He's here. Baby J was born 2 weeks ago after giving his mother a couple of extra weeks stay. Baby J is FootSteps Photography new newborn boy site model. He is such a little cutie with his full cheeks and little button nose. He is the perfect example of why photographing newborns before they are 10 days old is so key. They sleep ALL THE TIME, stay tucked up when you position them, and have that baby fuzz all over them. He never cried once. WOW. I was impressed on how quiet and good he was.

All the items you see Baby J in are new to FootSteps newborn prop collection. Several other items also are new and available but not pictured above. Currently I am looking for an additional newborn site model. The baby need to be under 10 days old on the day of the session, a female model is needed this time to show off all the wonderful props for a little princess. If you are or have a friend interested in this wonderful opportunity to have a reduced session fee please contact me through my website at www.footsteps-photography.com

And the shoes came off - Footsteps Photography Okinawa Japan

2009-09-25T09:54:00.001+09:00

When you are up for anything you never know what will happen in a session. The morning started off early with A& C at one of my favorite beaches.

It is so relaxing there that you just want to kick off your shoes. Even the most hard core "must have shoes" kind of guys can't even resist. My husband being one of them, even did so. Well we still have the tennis shoes. I love the uniqueness and playfulness that this photo offers.

Out of the whole morning this is one of my top captures. They are so laid back and relaxed just soaking up the Okinawa beauty.

In the beginning we had full intention to complete the session entirely at this one beach. Flexibility paid off and there was so much variety of looks all within the same local area. You just have to know where to look. By the time we head to our next location...

Yes the shoes had came off and were replaced by flip flops a perfect beach accessory.

Now if this does not scream OKINAWA nothing will. This place has all the local flair wrapped up within its walls it really can support a full session all on its own. We did a little walk though and went to another location.

Everytime I head out to the beach shoot I can not get over how crystal clear and blue the water is.

Onto location #4 another private little beach.

And now the shoes have came off. Truly anyone will find these locations relaxing and comfortable you just want to take your shoes off.

Baby H modeling for FootSteps Photography's New studio

2009-09-04T09:29:00.002+09:00

As most of you who keep up with the blog know we moved and I now have room for a full studio in my house. i asked a friend of mine if I could borrow her little girl as a model to show off some of the new props and studio options that FootSteps now has to offer.

I now have high key white background as an option for all newborn through small children. You will love this clean look that will really make your child center of attention. notice how you are able to see a nice reflection of baby H. This lighting style works great with those just learning to move around and especially for smash cake sessions.

Adorably sweet baby girl - FootSteps Photography - Okianwa

2009-09-04T09:18:00.002+09:00

Just one look at his little cutie and you just want to pick her up and hold her.

This is my absolute favorite of baby A.It is one of those moments that you are glad you are posed and ready to catch because only last for a split second.

Capturing the silly side of babies and kids is something I have always loved looking back at with my own daughters photographs. It is just a mark in time that you can't get back.

I've Moved!!! - FootSteps Photography Okinawa

2009-08-31T09:10:00.008+09:00

It has been about 1 month since FootSteps Photography Moved. Well the move was not vary far just from on-base to an off-base place. This is something that our family had been wanting to do for quite some time but never found the time. Well we made time, cleared calendars, gathered boxes and Moved. It was just in time too because shortly after we started looking the housing office on Okinawa had a new rule in effect that after August 1st no one else would be allowed to move off base. Whew! I am glad we made it. After looking at literately more than 2 dozen houses we found the one that was perfect for us.

The front of our new house named the Takara House. The studio is located about 10 minutes from Kadena's Gate 3 and about 10 minutes from McT and Courtney. Via the expressway it only takes 20 minutes from Camp Hanson.

The studio is up and running as you can see from the beautiful little model saying "Tada". Located within eye shot of the indoor studio is several other mini locations.

Studio sessions are not limited to strictly inside the studio. If you would like to step outside the door you have other options to explore. Located within a minutes walk.

Just a couple more to finish this post off. She is so excited for you to be able to see the new house and studio.

Williams Family and Photo Intaglio - FootSteps Photography Okinawa

2009-08-31T08:32:00.005+09:00

I have the best clients. Thanks to all of you. For without you, I would not have the wonderful clients like the Williams family. I met this photogenic family through a prior client who had recently had her daughters photos done. It was such a fun sunset session with all of you. I don't think you could have taken a bad photo if you tried.

I love the texture mixed with the bright blue sky mixed with colors of the setting sun.

Such an emotional kiss.
I was so lucky to have to opportunity to photograph two teens who are models.

Things just fell into place perfectly with this shot while we were all sitting down talking before moving up the beach.

Two beautiful girl

Sometimes I just get into my printmaking days where I focused photo intaglio manipulated with texture. This reminds me of the look they have when printed.
Wondering what Photo Intaglio looks like? Here is photography of my print "Lucky Two" done in a photo intaglio. Image taken in Biloxi Mississippi. If anyone on Okinawa knows of a place that has a press please let me know I would love to get back into this art form and do some prints from around Okinawa.

Osage Clayworks - FootSteps Photography Okinawa

2009-08-31T08:17:00.005+09:00

Osage Clayworks is a beautiful old store located in downtown Osage Arkansas. I had the pleasure of photographing several pottery arrangements and the old Historical Stamps Store while visiting family back home. Also got a few of the owner and his sweet shop dogs.

The Historical Stamps store built circa 1901.

Beautiful handmade pottery. These pieces almost did not make it back to the store but fell into my suitcase for quick transport back to Okinawa. Just kidding. They are beautiful.

I love the color, texture of the handle and shape of this teapot. Even-though I don't drink tea myself I wanted to start a tea pot collection after seeing this teapot. For more of Osage Clayworks work of to purchase one of your own. Visit http://www.osageclayworks.com

Blog do you check? - FootSteps Photography Okinawa

2009-08-31T07:53:00.002+09:00

Yep I did it again. I just get so busy that I forget to upload photos to this blog. But is anyone really reading it? If you are reading it please leave me a comment and let me know that you would like for me to continue with the blog updates. It seems senseless to upload the same photos to 4 different places. Do you blog or do you Myspace? Let me know. Now onto the photos....

Time to do this blog thing again...

2009-07-10T10:41:00.016+09:00

Life has been hectic over the last few months. There are several changes that have taken place and more to come. Some will be announced starting in August so keep checking back. I promise I will do better and keeping this blog updated. No more 4 month hiatus. So over the last few months here is what has been happening with FootSteps.

March
Bellies, Valentines day, and Easter is what was happening here are a few from then.

In April for my birthdayI got a new baby. Here is what she looks like. Such a beauty. This is such a huge improvement over my last DSLR. This camera ROCKS. Here is a little about it because there is too much to list.
- full frame sensor
- 21.1 megapixel digital SLR camera
- Live View shooting, Live View HD videos at 1080p, and more
- Great color reproduction
April was a busy month as well with school ending and PCS season starting. It was also my daughter's 2nd birthday. Happy Birthday Baby Girl. The Diaper cake she is sitting next to is made by Dharla's Boutique. More to come on that later.

Now a few more from April. April showers bring May flowers but for photos it also means uncertainty when shooting. Any minute it might start poring down rain. And it did once. There were still several beautiful images captured before the downpour started. Just so happens to be the first full shoot with the MarkII.

Then there was the most beautiful baby boy ever. He is so cute and one of the best babies i have ever had the joy to photograph. He slept when he needed to and was awake when he needed to be. It was hard to just pick one since I have so many favorites from this session.

Later in the month was friends of mine who wanted to capture the whole family before daddy got deployed. It was also babies first beach trip. Again, so many to choose from but this time one the daddy daughter relationship.

Last but not least, and not in any order either, is a friend of mine that came over to pose for me as I worked with new lighting techniques

May was a short month for me. During most of May and part of June my family went home to the states for two graduations, family visits, and of course shopping. Okinawa is beautiful but I do miss the shopping like Target, Wal-Mart and all the many others.

First was the Footes who you might recognize from previous posts. This time with a new addition to the family. I really admire her she is an amazing women. I hope we get to meet again at another base. We will miss all of you.

Also come a baby on-the-way shoot. Congratulations! The wind could not have been blowing much harder without a Typhoon on island. Still glowing.

Then off to the states. Not sure exactly what mountain top this was but I think it was Mt Rainer outside of the Seattle area. Anyone recognize it please tell me if that is right.

Family photos are not finished editing yet. More later on that.

June back home to rain rain and more rain on Okinawa. It seemed like it would never stop raining.

The rain canceled the first appointment for this family but the afternoon cleared up. We headed to the beach. Then it started raining again. It rained on and off throughout but we all had fun with the rain. I think she had the most fun out of all of them, playing the the umbrella, puddles, and running across the beach.
Don't you just love those Jerseys. The family had them made specially for there family photographs. This is just the back of them but the front has there last name on it, which just happens to be a Florida team name. It was such a beautiful day we could not have asked for a more perfect day for portraits.

Little S brought this pink and brown tutu to life with her coordinating top and such a sweet little face.
Yummy. One of my favorite subjects to photograph is sweet 6 month olds just like Little Grace. They are so easy to work with. It is also fun to see there first experience on the beach as well. Sand sure is yummy that it is worth going back for seconds and thirds.

Now I know why I have not blogged much lately. The internet connection here is so horrible that this short update has taken 2 days to just write and post photos on. That is when they did not time out or have errors.

Newborn sneak peek

2009-02-26T21:21:00.003+09:00

A little sneak peek for you of your beautiful little boy.

Big sis getting a few alone.

New Location

2009-02-26T21:09:00.002+09:00

Just a little quick peek at my last weekend session done at a new location. Thank you to Jenny for showing me where this beautiful place was located as we drove down a goat trail type road on the way to this beautiful beach. On the way out we stopped at Cape Manzama to get a few parting shots as the sun set even further.

While this location is beautiful it was not a very good location for families with small children. Even I feel tripping on one of the many rocks/shrubs within the rocks. Thankfully my camera was safe. The same can not be said for my tripod which was in my hand. It got smashed on the top making it unusable anymore. So if anyone has any recommendations for a good tripod, I need one now. I was glad to sacrifice the tripod for my hand which would have been sliced open by the sharp lava rock I was walking over.

One year later....

2009-02-18T18:58:00.007+09:00

Happy Anniversary to FootSteps Photography. One year ago from this month is when FootSteps Photography officially began. I began with a two week old little boy, Carter. His mom let me begin practicing with posing and shoot someone else other than my own family.

So one year later....

Maternity Session

2009-02-03T22:47:00.003+09:00

I love when clients bring ideas to the shoot and things that they want to incorporate into the shots that they love. Sunflowers brought a lot of warmth to the photos and they looked so good with the belly shots.

I could not resist the erge to post a few more pictures even though by now she has already had the baby.

Love At Sunset

2009-01-19T18:53:00.003+09:00

I don't know how this one got past me not posting it. Here are a few from their session.

I love the colors that the setting sun gives. It really is the Golden Hour.

Beach Run

2008-12-11T19:33:00.005+09:00

I had a lot of fun running out on the beach with this fun couple and their 2 dogs.

It has been an interesting session to edit and post with my daughter in the house. She LOVES dogs of all kinds and wants to sit on my lap looking at the screen and saying "dog" or my favorite "hi-low doggie". Here is a sneak peek with more to come soon.

I hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas.

Candy Canes and Santa Hats

2008-12-01T21:48:00.005+09:00

For the latest session It took place at the clients home for them and there family who are also stationed on the island. Wow it sure is a small world when your family also gets stationed at the same place you are at. It was quite interesting to have so many small children all in one frame but we did it several candy canes later. They also has a new baby to be included in the mix.

Family at the beach

2008-12-01T20:25:00.005+09:00

Here is a sneak peek for you. It was such a beautiful day to be at the beach. We could not have asked for a more perfect setting.

The Photographer gets Photographed

2008-12-01T20:19:00.003+09:00

Every once in a while even the photographer needs to have someone to take their family photos. I have a good friend that I trade services with for photograhs. It has become very difficult to photograph yourself and family with a hyper toddler running around. Thank you Tyler.

Tiny and sweet baby boy

2008-12-01T20:02:00.003+09:00

It was such a pleasure to be able to create memories that will last a lifetime for you and your family. Baby D was great throughout the entire shoot. I hope you enjoy your photos.

Bring a cat to your next session

2008-07-17T09:38:00.003+09:00

Everyone has an off day until they see a kitty cat walking down the sidewalk. Well at least that was what got her excited.

Easiest "Model" yet

2008-07-17T09:35:00.002+09:00

My sister is obsessed with shoes. So for decorative photos in her house she wanted SHOES to line her walls. It was by far the easiest model I have had yet. They don't move!

Wow I can't believe she is a senior already

2008-07-17T09:02:00.002+09:00

While I was home visiting family I spent an entire morning with my sister-in-law walking and driving through the historical town of Eureka Springs taking photographs of her. I can not believe that she is a senior now. When I met her she was barely out of kindergarten. Now I feel old.

Rainy day session

Normally when it is raining a session would be rescheduled or an indoor locationused. In this case this was the only day in everyones schedules.

Back home in Okinawa

2008-07-11T15:12:00.002+09:00

Well after a long----long-----long---- trip I am back in beautiful Okinawa. I decided to try my hand at the Patriot Express. While I got on no problem , I did not make it back through them. Once I landed in Seattle is when it all started to happen. There is not enough room on this Blog for everything that happened to us. So if you are planning a trip AMC my prayers be with you.

The trip was a good and productive one (other than the airports). While in the states I purchased studio lighting. I am now able to do studio session for those not wanting on location sessions. A note to self: When taking a car battery sized transfomer with red lights and switches through security expect a lot of explaination. The Japanese airline almost did not check my bag because of it. When they make me open the suitcase to ask me what was inside the look on their faces was priceless. To make it even funnier, my daughters teddy bear was sitting on the big black box transfomer. While trying to explain what it was with my best gesturing and words my daughter procedded to pull her bear and other things out of the suitcase.

See you at your session soon.

Cutie

2008-05-21T11:45:00.003+09:00

What could be better than a cute a snuggly little girl in her birthday suit and a pink fluffy tutu.

And we saw a snake...

2008-05-21T06:34:00.004+09:00

Well this last family session had an unexpected twist towards the end of it. Perched on top of a rock sunning himself was a long 6' or so snake. The dad went over to check it out and said that it was a Habu. Later after I handed him my camera so he could take the photo he say that it was not a Habu. Thank goodness. That is one thing that I will NOT photograph nor get within viewing range of. The day was a sucess and a lot of great snake-free photos were taken.

The Colon's sunset session

2008-05-01T08:19:00.002+09:00

Fun loving Family

2008-04-11T10:22:00.002+09:00

I love family photo sessions. It is so much fun to take pictures of the interaction and relationship between the parents and their children. Capturing the kids in their natural state makes it seem like a normal day at play.

Creating your Session

2008-01-29T09:49:00.000+09:00

I am an On-Site Natural Light Photographer. I want to make your session something that you will remember as fun for you and your family. Before your session I will met with you to consult with you about your thoughts, ideas, and expectations. This is your session and I want to make it personal for you.

What you can expect:
I will shoot a variety of poses that are both natural and some more formal depending upon what you choose. I am willing to take the time to work with you and your children (even if they may not be as cooperative as you like) to create that "perfect" memory. Sometimes the best photos are completely unplanned and spontaneous. I aim to have your photo shoot completed within the time alloted, but that may not always be the case. As a mom I know that your little one may not do what we want him or her to do. Breaks may be needed to keep children and babies happy during their shoot. In that case, if you and your child or baby are willing to stay longer than our scheduled time, a session may run over an hour to ensure we capture breath taking photographs.

What to wear:

What to wear will depend on the style and look you want for your photograph. I like to keep the focus on the subject(s), therefore, simple clothing choices are best for creating simple yet timeless portraits. Solid color clothing is highly recommended. Please try to avoid patterns on clothes or company/store logos. For a more natural look, casual dress is recommended. If families or children are being photographed together, clothes that coordinate in color and/or style looks the best. You are welcome to bring several outfits to the session for my opinion. I recommend that you photograph your child and/or children as you would see them everyday, as you would remember them.

What to bring:
There is not much you need to bring with you to your photo session. If you or your children have something special that you are wanting to use as a prop please bring it and we can use it in some of your photos. If you want to do a clothing change bring everything you will need for that outfit, including shoes or go barefoot. For outdoor photo sessions remember to apply sunscreen far enough in advance that it is absorbed into your skin and does not make sand stick to your skin. Apply it lightly so it does not make your skin shinny and glossy looking. The sun is intense here so please don't skip the sunscreen.

The beginning...

2008-01-27T21:20:00.000+09:00

This is the first step in the beginning of FootSteps Photography. FootSteps Photography started out as my love of capturing "the moment" grew after my daughter Alexa was born. She has brought so much joy to my life being able to have the photographs to remember every step and the journey she has taken so far along the way. My interest in photography stems from my love of art. I am a third generation artist in my family. I remember growing up in my dad's shop learning the ABC's and colors even before I went to school. As I grew up, I helped him in the family business learning about art, composition, layout, design, and color hands on. After I graduated from High School I attended the University of Arkansas to pursue my degree in Fine Art. A year after marrying my husband, Michael, he joined the US Air Force and we moved from Arkansas to Keesler AFB then to Moody AFB. I transferred to Valdosta State University in South Georgia and finished my degree in Fine Art studying Graphic Design, Photography and Printmaking techniques.

There are a lot of things that make up a great photograph. A good photography is not just about pointing and shooting but rather about the individual components that make up the overall image. A photograph should be something that you would hang on your wall as you would a fine art piece.

Time does not stand still, so we should treasure every moment we have with our families. Our children grow up so quickly and before you know it they are grown. They are only little once in their lives. I believe that we should preserve our family memories and what a great way to do it -- photography.
