Your Life As Art Photography by Pam
Artist & Intuitive | Pamela Zmija
I look at this image and my eye is drawn… its almost like real live leading lines. Leading from my hubby in net to my little lady has made the shot.
Yes. Real Life Images.
How can you get this from a shoot. Bring what your kids love. What better way to get them comfortable. I want you to be YOU!
Truly … 10 years from now this will make my heart melt.
This is why I love photography and why my passion to capture it for yours makes this more to me than just a hobby. I am sharing something I treasure because for some it is like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Life goes so fast and the last thing I want to regret is not enjoying my children’s lives. Capturing these images, of them as they truly are at that moment in time is what I know I will look back on and be flooded with memories of those times!
I am a lifestyle photographer and although the more posed shots are excellent to display in your homes, offices, phones etc I want to show what is behind that image – who you really are!
She is such a sweet little girl but when it comes time to rock it like the boys… oh yea she is there! We had an evening family hockey game… it ended in tears unfortunately and a fight over the goalies sticks (***hint hint for anyone wondering about gifts for the lil man… hockey stuff! hehe***) and it ended in him making a deal to give her some of his chocolate for the stick. Can you guess which one she picked?
These are mine. I love them to pieces. The boy was thrilled to get out and play hockey with all of us! She.. well this is what happens when a toddler gets only 8 hrs of sleep at night – yes she needs more lol! Poor wee thing. Hopefully she’ll sleep good tonight 🙂
We had a good – but short – game! Hehehe Im sure the neighbours thought I was slightly crazy out there running around playing hockey with the camera on my back lol hey I did have my nifty fifty on hehe.
Fun family times!
Mount Forest Patriots Mascott. He turned and totally posed for me !
This weekend they are off this Saturday… a nice little break before the begin 4 weeks in a row – hmmm perhaps 5 I must review the schedule again 🙂 This was taken in natural light of the arena with my 70-200 zoom… love that lens!
I had to LOL when I read this on the photography forum that I belong to… “How to Undermine Your Child’s Portrait Session” was posted by “Stacie” she is a great photographer! I read through this and sure its “brutal honesty” but its the truth… not only with photographing other peoples children but also your own! This is something I have learned with my own kids – if you notice in the photo of my lil lady she is VERY done lol.
These points are also something that has helped me and my growth in photography by photographing my own kids – its ALL so true! So here’s a shout out to Stacie – http://www.stacieturnerphotography.com/blog/2010/10/how-to-undermine-your-childs-portrait-session/ you can read her post here
I will go ahead and call this the “momtog” shot. I love it. I couldn’t have planned it better. Ha. Because with my kids you can’t really plan, its a last minute pop into my head and say “heeeeey kids… wouldn’t this be FUN!” haha and its really beginning to work… OR
Or. its because my kids also enjoy looking back at our family photos and saying “hey mom thats when we … ” that is the most amazing feeling in the world!
This really should be titled “momtog” because this is one of my, true “momtog” shots. We’re all hanging out and the kids are playing having a blast!
When I say I want to capture you and your memories… I want them to actually BE memories. I want it to be an outing and a time you share that creates a memory for you to treasure in these photographs!
This is another photo from tonight that I cherish!
When I say I want to capture you… I want to capture YOU!
Who you truly are, as you interact with one another, I want you to look back on these images and think … “wow I remember when… “
This is one of those “real” family moments where I said to our kids and neices “ok guys go sit on the couch and I’ll take your picture” … whats more real than this! Some sisterly love in the middle with my two little monkeys on the eds 🙂
I cherish this photo and will always remember when I look at it that we were celebrating my amazing dad’s birthday! Love you Dad and Happy Birthday!!!
