			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m <em>dying</em> for some awesome family to do this vintage chic, 1950&#8242;s inspired session. This would be a great session at an urban location, in a field, or right in your home. For a fun lifestyle session, whip out the rolling pin &amp; make some cookies!</p>
<p><em>{I think it can sometimes be hard for families to decide what to wear during their photography session. Understandably so, it&#8217;s hard to visualize how different outfits might look together. Often times it seems families will revert to the old khakis &amp; white shirts. Please, please, don&#8217;t do it!}</em></p>
<p><em>{Let your family&#8217;s personalities shine through during your photo shoot. Remember, coordinate your outfits, don&#8217;t match them. A good rule of thumb is to pick one piece, like a dress for your little girl, then pick colors from that dress for the rest of the family.}</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my mission to catch up on my blogging, I&#8217;m excited to show you the second half of Gabe&#8217;s newborn session. Haven&#8217;t seen the first part? Check it out <a href="http://www.candidcontrast.com/blog/2011/09/gabe-11-days-new/" target="_blank">{here}</a> Want to see the session in it&#8217;s entirety? Check out the slideshow <a href="http://vimeo.com/28180731" target="_blank">{here}</a></p>
<p>I think this session is a great example of why it&#8217;s so worth it to get in the photos with your newborn. I know how sleep deprived new parents can be, but the memories that are captured when you get Mom &amp; Dad in the pictures are truly priceless. Without further ado&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last year I decided to take on Project 365. It&#8217;s a challenge to take a photo/day every single day for a year. I really trailed off towards the middle of the year, as I was totally consumed with planning my wedding at that time. Yet even though I don&#8217;t have EVERY single day documented, I have so much more than I would have if I hadn&#8217;t taken on this project. This year I&#8217;m doing it again! There are plenty of different ways people decide to store/display those 365 photos from the year. My favorite option is Becky Higgins Project Life. It makes it so simple &amp; fun to actually get those photos into the album. I could go on all day about all of the different ways to use Project Life (you don&#8217;t have to do 365 photos in a year), but I think she says it best on her site. So below are some links for you to check it out for yourself <img src='http://www.candidcontrast.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>All that said, this project is NOT just for Mommies! Everyone&#8217;s life is worth documenting. Below are some photos of my kit for this year. I decided to go with the Cobalt design <img src='http://www.candidcontrast.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.beckyhiggins.com/" target="_blank">Becky Higgins Website:</a> With TONS of inspiration, ideas, &amp; information about how to use your Project Life kit.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&amp;sshmPath=at-a-glance&amp;isAmazonFulfilled=1&amp;marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;isCBA=&amp;orderID=&amp;asin=&amp;seller=A1LZDMAQG0RDL8&amp;isPopup=" target="_blank">Becky Higgins Amazon Storefront:</a> Here is where you can buy your own Project Life kit.</p>
<p>All you need to buy to complete project life is a core kit, an album, and page protectors. I also chose to add the cardstock. You can do as much or as little personalization as you&#8217;d like <img src='http://www.candidcontrast.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a confession to make! I have gotten into the bad habit of only blogging the sneak peek of my sessions!</p>
<p>I shoot the session, I get the sneak peek up right away, I edit the session, Mom orders from the session, the order goes out, and&#8230;. *crickets* I always manage to move onto the next before I update my blog &amp; grace my facebook with all of those cute little faces &amp; wonderful couples! So I&#8217;m realizing my lovely fans &amp; clients are left only seeing 4-5 images from each session, no good!</p>
<p>So now that I put this out there, I&#8217;m going to spend the months of January &amp; February blogging all of those fab sessions from last year that haven&#8217;t been shown yet. I&#8217;m even going to attempt to update my facebook page&#8230; ambitious, I know <img src='http://www.candidcontrast.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  This is actually good news for all of you lovelies though, as you&#8217;ll have plenty to look in the coming weeks <img src='http://www.candidcontrast.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>And just because every post is better with a photo&#8230; here&#8217;s one of my little one <img src='http://www.candidcontrast.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I met Luke&#8217;s Mom at a wedding I was photographing. When she inquired about Senior portraits I told her I specialized in photographing babies. &#8220;Well he&#8217;s my baby,&#8221; she responded. How could I turn that down?</p>
<p>So we scheduled the session for what was quite possibly the very last nice day of the season. It couldn&#8217;t have gone better. Luke was a trooper and took direction like a champ <img src='http://www.candidcontrast.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  And look at his dog Tatum, cute right?</p>
<p>Good luck in everything you do Luke, &amp; I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Loving this set of glamorous outfits to bring in the new year! Get creative &amp; have your family&#8217;s photos taken in a fancy hotel lobby or ballroom, an art gallery, or a fancy museum. If you didn&#8217;t get your family&#8217;s photos taken over the holidays now is the perfect time <img src='http://www.candidcontrast.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><em>{I think it can sometimes be hard for families to decide what to wear during their photography session. Understandably so, it&#8217;s hard to visualize how different outfits might look together. Often times it seems families will revert to the old khakis &amp; white shirts. Please, please, don&#8217;t do it!}</em></p>
<p><em>{Let your family&#8217;s personalities shine through during your photo shoot. Remember, coordinate your outfits, don&#8217;t match them. A good rule of thumb is to pick one piece, like a dress for your little girl, then pick colors from that dress for the rest of the family.}</em></p>
