I am very thankful that we are having rain this summer, even if it does throw a kink in my schedule! This session was cut short – maybe only 30 minutes of shooting – before the large, dark, cloud arrived atop downtown Hickory. Here are a few from the shortened session -

We did a mini reshoot this last weekend, and I’ll have sneaks up from that session soon!

These are faces you will see many, many times in the years to come. This mama is the other half of one of my longest lasting friendships. It’s one of those relationships where you can go for a while without speaking and pick up right where we left off… Though we don’t go *too* long between conversations, not these days.

Here’s a few from our latest session.

And remember, I do travel to the Triangle area on a limited basis. If you are in the Triangle and are interested in a session with Catherine Keene Photography, please contact me using the “contact” link above!

What To Wear Wednesday | NC Family Photographer

It’s time for family portraits – which means it is time to stress over what to wear! Most families make clothing selections for their portraits harder than it has to be. Make it simple by picking a pair of coordinating colors, and work your outfits out around that. Don’t be afraid to use a subtle pattern, and don’t be afraid to have members of the family wear different colored shirts!

Below is a really simple idea of color coordinating (all of these clothes are available from the GAP, Inc. stores):

This is very basic – and you can expand upon these ideas. Pick colors that work well with your family and don’t be afraid to step away from “matchy-matchy” blue jeans/khakis and white shirts. Have some fun and mix up your colors. The one simple rule I have for family portraits – DON’T CLASH!

Until next time…

When no one is looking | NC family photographer

They aren’t looking. They think I *might* be looking. They might think “oh she’s just getting a few test shots before we do the real thing.” These are the images that I as the photographer love the best: the natural, totally relaxed, and totally real look into a fleeting moment in time.

Here is mom and her babies.
