2010 In Review -- Portraits and Candids

~My photo gallery~  Christine Anne at Smugmug  ~My photo gallery~

Since my professional photography business is still in its infancy, I don't have a full year of images to look back on.  But I would like to post some of my favorite images from the year, of portraits and candid shots.

I'm grateful to the Lord for pushing me through the door into this photography business!  It has been a privilege and an honor to photograph those who've hired me this year.  I'm humbled that they (you!) esteem my work enough to want me to capture their own families, and children, and events.  Enjoy these images with me as I look back on 2010!

Though this was from 2009, it is one of my favorites!

Ellie, my camera, is amazing.  She helps me out, even when I get her settings wrong.  (And Lightroom is a great piece of software.)  :)

Though my back was--and is--still in quite a bit of pain, I managed to carry Ellie around all day Sunday for our church's afternoon event.  The Caroling Choir spent the day singing Christmas carols in downtown Naperville, and having fun back at the S. house.  Oh, yeah, and they ate a lot of pizza, too.

But that's not the point of this post.  The point is, Chris and Liz showed up later in the afternoon with their daughter Kate, about seven weeks old.  Though I had been upstairs lying down, Ellie led the way right to this beautiful baby, and Liz didn't say a word as I took several shots.  Though I didn't get to hold her at all (a good thing, considering the shape my back is in), I got a few great images of this precious gift from heaven.

I just uploaded more photos to my photo gallery above.  I have been blessed to follow this particular family with my camera through the years, so it was a joy to go back through older photos, do some reminiscing, and get the collections uploaded to my new gallery.

Enjoy the quick peek here, and click here if you'd like to see them all.  :)

Sneak Peek at a Fabulous Family

The photos have been downloaded, edited, and uploaded.  Soon I'll be able to post all the photos from this session.  But for now, a few of my favorites should suffice.  Really, I can't wait!!
