When Libby arrived for her session I had a feeling we were going to hit it off. She had on some adorable Juicy Couture shoes which, of course, caught my attention and served as a great talking point early in the session. Libby’s sweet nature and infectious smile made this session such a treat for me. Thanks again for choosing me to capture this time in your life, Libby! You were a blast to work with!
It’s been nearly two years since I opened The Loft and what a fun and exciting journey it has been. One of my very first clients to have photos taken in my new space was the older sister of Krissy, a beautiful 2010 senior. Krissy has been looking forward to this experience for quite a while and I loved her enthusiasm throughout the session. We had a riot working together and I loved her mom’s reaction to the images. I love my job!
It’s late August which means we are smack dab in the middle of senior season…one of my favorite times of the year! Working with seniors reminds me of just how much I loved my job as a high school teacher. This years’ seniors have been especially enjoyable including this beautiful girl, Sadelle, who was excited to kick off the start of her senior year with this photo session. A special thanks to Mike who so kindly let us use his ‘55 Olds for a few frames!
If I gave out awards here at Jamie Schultz Photography this little guy would win the “Most Miles Traveled for a Session” award! He came all the way from NYC and I’m oh, so glad he did. Before I even pulled my camera out of the bag I knew he was going to make my job easy. He was giggling, smiling and babbling up a storm. What a shock it was to see him scoot around and pull himself up to furniture at only 6 months old! He is a busy boy to say the least! Best wishes to you and your family, Kim. I hope all goes well with your move to Holland!
I’ve been photographing this beautiful little girl for four years now and I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed working with her over the years. She was so excited about her 4th birthday that I knew I had to plan something very special for her visit. When they arrived for the session she wanted to be sure I understood that her outfit of choice for the day was her tutu. Reluctantly, she obliged her mother and wore a regular skirt and tee for a few frames but was more than ready to dive into her princess costume after that! What luck, as my special plans for her included a trip to the candy store! A girl in a tutu in a candy store…what fun?!! When we arrived at the candy store she asked if she could pick out some candy to take home. “Of course!” I said. No sooner did I turn to look for a basket and she started dancing around the store. She was one happy (and adorable) little girl buzzing around the candy store in her tutu!
One of the best things about my job is the opportunity I have to work with people from around the country and the world for that matter. I love hearing about my clients’ life experiences and what brought them to where they are today. This particular session took place in what is quickly becoming my favorite little neighborhood in Minneapolis. I walked in and got right to work photographing adorable little Jack (who is quite fond of books might I add). At one point during the session Jack’s mom and I started chatting about how we ended up in the Twin Cities area. She mentioned she was from a small town in Iowa but moved north to attend school. When I asked where she was from in Iowa, she responded with “Sioux City, it’s a little town in the corner of…”. I had to cut her off because you see…that is where I grew up. Neither of us could believe it! Sioux City isn’t “tiny” but it’s certainly not a big city and it’s a rare occassion when one just bumps into someone from Sioux City. Although we didn’t go to the same high school I have no doubt our paths must have crossed at some point when we were growing up. What a small world, eh?!
Every time I walk into this little dude’s house I can hardly wait to see what his mom has found for him to wear. She has an incredible sense of style and she never fails to find the most adorable “duds” for him. This time was no exception..he was decked out in his True Religion jeans and shirt and the skull cap was the icing on the cake. So fun!! We also couldn’t resist getting him in his birthday suit…those rolls were just too cute to pass up.
It seems fitting to start out the new year with a blog entry showcasing a beautiful newborn baby so here it goes! This sleepy bundle of joy was welcomed home by his parents and two very loving (and absolutely adorable) sisters. I’ve been photographing this family for a little over two years now and it has been such an amazing experience to watch their family grow. Congratulations again you guys…I’m so happy for you!
Little miss Amelia is accustomed to being the star of the show when I come over and she put on quite the show to ensure she was granted adequate time in the spotlight.
This little dude was not at all sure what to think of having his picture taken. I was trying every trick I could think of but still, he seemed the least bit interested in me or my camera. In walks his dad and says the words, “Daddy shoots and he SCORES!” and there was nothing but giggles. Not just a little giggle either! It worked not once, but twice, and again and again and again… I got the biggest kick out of how quickly his mood changed with those simple words. Something tells me he is daddy’s little boy and he’s so very proud of it! His big sister was a doll and loved having the camera all to herself. Thanks again for coming out to the studio you guys!
“Daddy shoots and he SCORES!!” (There were actions that went with it!)
Not only are these two kiddos gorgeous, but don’t they have great names too?! These siblings came to the studio to get a few new shots for their portfolios and I couldn’t believe how natural they were in front of the camera. We called it a wrap in no time at all which was probably a good thing with how cold we were outside. I wish you both the best with your ventures and I’ll see you again in a few weeks!
