Fall 2010
The weather was still balmy…so warm that the sweaters might have been a little uncomfortable. But, having a new puppy seemed to distract a little!
I love a good close up…especially in black and white.
I recently read a quote that said, “I don’t want to survive– I want to thrive.” To be honest with you, this week was not a week of thriving. It was survival. It was photo sessions every day, sometimes two…lots of designing albums and planning for future shoots. I’ve said it before, but this week drug me by my hair! I am taking a little time this weekend to take a breather and start off this next week a little better than the last!
So, here’s what I was up to…
Another fun weekend at Rascals to Rebels!
Attention photographers: I’m selling this backdrop for $100…email me (info@kristineldridge.com) if you’re interested!
Oh and then there were the one year olds! I think I lost a pound this week running after one year olds!!
And some ADORRRABLE family sessions!
Cheers to a great weekend and an even better week ahead!

Spring 2010
It was so rainy and windy, we had to duck in for shelter in the cars a few times. You wouldn’t know it from the bright cheery spring colors. But, we were determined to make it work!

Fall of 2010…they took off all pressure and expectations. “Just whatever you want to do…you’re the expert. We don’t mind of they’re not looking at the camera smiling…just capture them playing.” Those are the best kinds of sessions. Life unfolds and it’s always beautiful.
This week was full of…
gorgeous sunset lighting. happy one year olds. kisses from mommy.
sweet smelling newborn hair. cuddles. more mommy kisses.
a trip to Balboa island for the first time. sister hugs. all kinds of colorful dingies.
another brand new baby girl. more love from a big sister. cuddled up like a bug.
AND a first day of school!
Instead of being overwhelmed, I’m going to sum it up. Every week, I do a sheerly mad amount of photo sessions. Most never end up on the blog because I’m busy and really don’t know where to start. SO, this week I start taking a week’s worth of sessions, choosing a few and summing up the week.
To die for curls…
The sweetest couple with a baby named Ruby. Love.
A family photo session at home. Just documenting day to day life. The best kind.
Documenting a first birthday. Bonus points if you can guess the location.
Turns out little things can cause big problems. Like camera sensors. Apparently they get over-heated after shooting session after session under the water in the housing unit. Well, I found out the hard way! After a few re-shoots, Kyle and I were back in business.
Anywhoooo…here are some of the super fun kids that took part in our pool day!
You can find a link to Kyle’s website here: http://kylemacfilms.com/ He shot all the underwater images and I photographed everything under the water.
Loving at home photo sessions and my sweet subjects. They make me want to cozy up in bed and cuddle warm bed-headed children…
I made this painted gray canvas backdrop last year and I’ve become quite fond of it. It gives a nice clean crisp look to black and whites, but with the seams and un-even paint, it has a perfectly unperfect feel.
I’ve been using it in my recent newborn sessions and must say I’m loving it!
