Baby Portraits: Kroetz Clan

Round 1: Getting Newborn Shots.

I tried getting shots of Gloria's new baby boy, Trevor. However, it didn't run as smoothly as I'd thought. I'm still not too savvy with my settings and shooting in the automatic mode required the runway light of a flash to go off, not too discrete. Heidi also wanted to be the photographer and Trevor had on a Onesy and I couldn't get the shot of his little feetsy, but here are some cute ones from the day:

Event: Kristen Schmelter's Graduation

I purchased the new Canon Rebel XSI last week (some would say with an irrational urgency). I needed to shoot a Graduation and Family Reunion and what better weekend to get my feet wet?! But much to my dismay the settings on the camera weren't as wingable as I had originally thought and I took pics like the amateur I am. But here are some of my favorite from the weekend (in their original state) so be kind.

Kristin Schmelter's Graduation Ceremony from Channel Islands:

I will photoshop this (consider it the before of the after). Kristen Schmelter Sociology

Bobby D. Schmelter (Proud Pops) and Jared Schmelter (Middle Child)

Cindy Schmelter (Proud Mother) even cute when she's eating

Brian Goethel (Special K's fav cousin). I'll send this one to him for his MySpace

Her supportive and, um, hungry boyfriend Jeff

Here I developed lens envy

Great candid shot of the Schmelter Clan conversing in their natural habitat

My very own Maverick

Pa Corsini gave it up for the paparazzi

Congrats Kristen on being the first Schmelter kid to get your Bachelors and graduating Cum Laude! Oh and on officially having the loudest props in the whole house. Woop woop!
