Queen Java

Meet Queen Java!  She is sitting on her royal throne and her majesty doesn't like getting her portraits done.  So to get her to pose with my new pet crown, I dangled lunchmeat near the camera.   I have included my favorite shot from her majesty's portrait session.  Enjoy! :)

Nine Fuzzy Babies

Nine fuzzy baby steers recently joined The Smith Ranch.  The average weight for the nine angus steers was 327 pounds.  This is our third year for getting cattle and these are the smallest ones we have gotten so far. It's so neat to watch how our horses and donkeys reacted to their new family members. I thought you would enjoy seeing them interact so I have included some of my favorites from their photo session!  :D

Adorable Family of Four

Last night's session from one of my "regulars" was to produce a nice collage for their living room with their family portrait in the middle and to order some portraits for an iPhone photo hardcase.  The background was gray that was made pinkish using a flash with a pinkish gel on it, thus producing a pinkish background to match their outfits.  The small sofa is normally maroon, but we changed that color also to match their outfits.  As you can see, Gabby really enjoyed taking her portraits on the couch.  Alyssia kept turning around while seated on the couch, so we ended up turning the couch around to get her facing the camera!  Some of the neatest props are the ones that you don't anticipate! :)  I've attached my favorites from their session for your viewing pleasure.  Be looking for their portrait collage on Capturing The Moment Photography's website once we get that finalized.

Mother's Day Portrait Special

Mother's Day is just around the corner! In honor of this event, Capturing The Moment Photography is offering the following discount offer:

Three Cutie Patooties!

It's been 2 years since I photographed Rhianna.  She is so adorable!  Her and her brothers came on Saturday for a 45-minute portrait session.  There were so many favorites from their session and I have included some of them for your viewing pleasure.  Enjoy!

Stardust joins The Smith Ranch

Stardust joined our family on January 19.  She is an 18 year old Palomino. Sad to say we sold Emily and Dakota. :(  I so miss Dakota and I will sorely miss watching him and Ace play.  

Ozark (our miniature donkey) welcomed Stardust by braying and chasing after her.  It was totally hilarious watching them!!!  I've included photos of Stardust's arrival and the interaction of her with the rest of the Smith Ranch family.   Stardust is tanner/darker in color than Ace.

Enjoy!

Crazy Photo Fundraiser

On Saturday, January 21, 2012, from 8:30 am to 2:00 pm, there will be a free Women's Health Seminar and Brunch at Riddle Hall, 2412 Rucker Rd, Junction City, Kansas.  My studio will be set up starting at 1:00 pm to take "crazy photos."

Over the space of a few years I have been collecting wigs, hats, gloves, and all kinds of crazy props to use when I want to have some fun in the studio.  Little did I know that I would start expanding my "crazy photo" business to raise funds for good causes!

Ladies, come on out, have some fun, let your hair down, or should I say put on a wig!  :D
