Miss Chunky

2011-02-04T22:27:00.000-08:00

When Elizabeth was born, she wasn't very chubby. At all. 6 lbs 6 oz. I called her Miss Pretty.

Three months later, this girl has developed more rolls than a Kneader's bakery!

Which is why I am officially changing her name to Miss Chunky.

Don't worry. She has good self esteem.

I Love You, Jessica Kettle

2011-02-02T20:01:00.000-08:00

Holy cow. Just did some mentoring with one of my FAVORITE photographers, Jessica Kettle. I am so glad, too. I've seriously been the biggest slacker when it comes to doing anything with photography for the past few months. It's ok though, I gave birth. That's my excuse.

Anyway, thank you Jess for showing me so much about light, composition, Photoshop tricks (like fill layers!), business stuff, and basically everything I've been freaking out about.

And thanks Adri for being the best model ever!

Miss Elizabeth Grace

She's here!!! Finally! That seriously was the longest 38 weeks and 6 days of my life!!!

Oh but isn't this little face worth it?

Four Generations

A week ago, my little girl was born. Miss Elizabeth Grace.

Last night, my grandmother was over, so I decided to take advantage of the opportunity and create something that will be treasured for a long time to come.

Photo of the Week

2010-09-19T09:13:00.000-07:00

This morning I woke up fairly early for a Sunday. Since I couldn't get back to sleep, I headed downstairs for some breakfast of razzleberry pie and pulled out the latest issue of National Geographic.

Let me tell you what: nothing will give you a zest for life like reading National Geographic. It tempts you to quit everything you're doing in your life and travel the world to experience all its wonders.

One day I may just do exactly that.

As I flipped through the pages, engrossed by photographs that had me drooling, I came up with a great idea:

I will now be featuring
'Photograph of the Week'

Any of you are strongly encouraged to send in any photos you deem worthy. Photos will be posted each Sunday.

At the end of each month, I'll be giving away a prize to the most popular photograph.

You can start submitting NOW!
The first reader-submitted photo will be posted October 3!

SEND ENTRIES TO: mallorykerwin@gmail.com

Good luck!

Photo of the Week
Sunday, September 19, 2010

This photo comes from National Geographic's article "Being Jane Goodall".

It was taken in the wild. No zoo. No reservation. Just one purely wild chimpanzee. Researcher Jane Goodall coaxed the chimp to her with a steady supply of bananas. Eventually, the animal lost its fear of humans and after some time, even allowed her to start grooming him.

The thing that really does it for me is how the picture presents the rare and delicate trust shared between two unlikely friends.

Need a Workshop?

2010-09-08T15:59:00.001-07:00

So, you want to up the ante on your photography skills?
Maybe see it as a potential career?
Or maybe you have no photography skills, and would like to change that?

Whatever the case, I have to HIGHLY recommend my friends over at:

BLUE LILY PHOTOGRAPHY

I just took their GoPro workshop and let me tell you. SUCH an amazing experience!! I got SO much personal help and lots of valuable info to take home to apply.

And the great thing about them is...they travel! So, you can most likely find a workshop near you, and if not....well you might as well just spend the money for a plane ticket anyway because they are that good.

Plus, Wendy and Tyler are just about the coolest people you'll meet.

Thanks guys!

P.S. If you're a Nie Nie fan, you'll want to know it was Blue Lily that did those beautiful
family portraits.

September Light

I have a confession. I don't like little dogs. At all. Dogs were meant to be big. The bigger the better. Someday, I will have a Great Dane. Or a mastiff. So that when I go running at night, any potential attackers will get eaten.

This little dog belongs to my parents. His name is Chance. He's an idiot. But, I have another confession...

He's grown on me.

Pucker up!!

Now On Twitter!

2010-08-29T13:57:00.001-07:00

I've succumbed. I was pretty proud of myself for going against the grain and refusing to give in. But apparently, Twitter can be quite useful. Now to figure out how to use it.....

Family Shots!

2010-08-28T11:17:00.000-07:00

It's been a LONG time coming, but here are a few family shots! Finally, huh?

Thank you, Blue Lily Photography, for a great workshop!

Tyler & Jeannette!

2010-06-27T22:01:00.000-07:00

So, I was lucky enough to be able to photograph Tyler and Jeannette's Hare Krishna wedding at the beginning of June! Holy cow, SO cool! I was honored to be part of such a neat experience! Thanks T&J!

Here are a few shots of the day:

Stacia + Brian

2010-05-23T15:08:00.000-07:00

A week ago, I got to do some pics for my good friend, Stacia, and her fiance, Brian. They are getting married in a couple of months. So happy for them!

Here Comes Chloe!!!

2010-05-12T21:46:00.000-07:00

My friends Thuy and Rodney are having their first little one very soon! Can't wait to meet little Chloe! Until then, we can enjoy some pictures of her lovely mama!

Dana + Brandon

2010-05-10T22:34:00.000-07:00

This past weekend, I was able to second shoot for Afton Huntley of Amour Photographie. Thanks, Afton! I'm only posting a few photos from the night, so you'll have to go to her website to check out the full shoot!

The Sederberg Bump!

2010-05-05T07:56:00.000-07:00

Woo hoo! My lovely friends, Little Miss Christina and her sweet hubby Tim, are having their first baby soon!! It's the home stretch---ten more weeks to go! So, of course we had to get some baby bump pictures done! She has the perfect little round belly, don't you think?

Perfect.

The Most Random

2010-05-01T22:46:00.000-07:00

group of pictures you will EVER see me post. I promise to not be so scatty-wompus (is that even a real word?***) again, but I went through some old pictures and wanted to bust these babies out.

I NEED a dog. That's right. Need. I should've stolen this one. He followed us around everywhere at our family reunion. No one had any idea where he came from.

Yes, that IS a praying mantis on my hand, thank you.

This building is to die for. The contrast between the red brick, black trim, white windows, and reflecting blue sky? Love.

How darling are these two?

Mr. B himself. Look at those beautiful eyes!

My hubby.

Work that waterfall!

Eric, at one of my favorite places in the world...Semiahmoo.

***According to urbandictionary.com, the correct word would be "cattywompus".

Thank You, B & D!!

2010-02-28T17:22:00.000-08:00

Here are a few shots of some very good friends, Brock and Danielle with their spunky little son, Braxton! I owe these guys a HUGE thank you for being my very first models!
