Practice week...

I have not been feeling well for the past few days, but today was better so I set up and brought my favorite little model in for some shots.
She is definitely growing quickly and some of the post processing I did just amplified it!


This is pretty much all the energy I have to process at this moment. The kids want to bake, and of course they always come first!

I hope everyone is having a great week! Happy Wednesday!

The Moon...

is looking gorgeous tonight. My husband was fixing the tail light on my car and I happened to look up and see how bright it was!

With the nice weather we have been getting, the desert sunsets have been amazing. I hope to capture on this week when I have time.

I took some quick "pose for me" shots with my younger daughter:




Love her style!

The weather has been gorgeous this week! I’ve been spending a lot of time with my kids and just enjoying the weather! We’ve been playing softball and hanging out with friends. I am looking forward to some new sessions coming up!

We are currently taking applications for Senior models for the spring, so get your apps in and come in for an interview!

Cutie pie!

Today was a beautiful day! We started back into our routine with our homeschooling group and even though it was cold, it was nice to get out and see everyone!

Today's feature is a cutie. He is 4 months old and it was tough to get him to crack a smile.
I can't wait to see him in the studio again, though!




Thanks for having me out...it was wonderful to meet your family!


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*

My galleries on the main website will be updated sometime this week. I can't wait to put in some new work. The main website is also going to go through a major update, so check it out when you can!

A More Willing Model....

Whew! After yesterday's practice session, I was scared to ask for models to work out some lighting kinks!

Thankfully I have the camera lover. The one who will pose whenever I want, however I want and then throw in a little bit of her own in there. She loves to drag out the prop box and put stuff on.

Today she borrowed one of her older sister's hats and put some lip gloss on to make her lips "shiny pretty"






Ah.... two complete opposites of the spectrum. Tomorrow I shall try again with the oldest. Maybe I can round out the set and get a wall portrait printed.

Its not too late for senior photos! Did the senior pictures not come out like you had hoped? Looking for something that is different, fun or unique? Call Nancarrow Photography today and we will help you put together a session full of images that you cannot wait to show off!

Tough Model

Wow... I don;t think I want to be the photographer that takes this guys senior pictures, lol!
I'm kidding... of course I will be, he's my son!

He was such a tough model to shoot. I gave him some basic directions and you would think I was torturing him...






CHILL OUT! Just a few more!



Apparently if we aren't doing a photo shoot that showcases his missing tooth, then he doesn't want any part of it.

I have to mention that I did pull him away from building some contraption out of cardboard, tape and string... and he was ticked at me. He hasn't unraveled his latest invention yet, or else I would tell you all.


Gosh, he looks so much like his dad....same scowl and everything :)

A Lost Tooth!

No....we are not offering a reward for it!

My son lost his second tooth today. He is sooo cute, they way he already has it wrapped up in a plastic baggie for the tooth fairy to retrieve tonight. Ahem...the "TOOTH FAIRY" seems to be out of cash at the moment, but I know her personally and she is incredibly intelligent and she will think of something.
I took a picture of him to post, but our internet connection seems to be down for the moment, hence I am posting this from my husbands phone. Bummer.
Today was so cold, but we managed to go out and meet a friend for a playmate and then went to the community center to pay for our softball teams. My husband can't wait!
I hope all the locals enjoyed our snow in some way or another, and it didn't inconvenience you too much.
Until tomorrow.....

Snow!

Only the second day of 2011 and we have snow!
Right now its nothing that is sticking, but daylight is running out so I snapped a few pictures. We went out and had softball practice this morning and everything looked pretty nice outside, just really cold.

All the kids on the street are thrilled! And Facebook is full of updates from people who are getting snow!
I know I am probably in the minority here, but I hope when I wake up there isn't any snow. I wanted to go outside and jog in the morning, and I don't think I will step foot outside if there is snow on the ground...lol!







I hope that everyone manages to stay warm and dry :) I think tonight would be a great night for some hot cocoa!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Only one more week of vacation and then we will be open again. Its been a nice break and well deserved. I can't wait to break out all the new stuff we have planned for our clients in 2011. If you are in Victorville or in the surrounding High Desert cities, keep a look out, you never know when you will see Nancarrow Photography out doing what we do best!

A visitor in the new year!

I hope everyone had a fabulous celebration to welcome in the New Year! This year we went to a family friendly event where there were plenty of kids for mine to hang out with and have fun! We came home around 3am and it was FREEZING!!!!!

This morning my husband was determined to take down all the Christmas stuff...including the lights. While he was out there, he kept hearing tap, tap, tap...tap tap tap... and couldn't find the source. Well, it didn't take long and he came and got me:





A woodpecker!!!! Oh my goodness isn't he cute? Not that I am thrilled he is pecking in my tree, but he is a welcomed sight on such a cold winter day!
I simply love nature, and so glad to be able to welcome in a new year!
