Rose Droplets

I've done waterdroplets before. I've seen water droplets done on roses before. Of course I wanted to at least try it. What better time to try than with the roses I got for valentines day! I could use more work, maybe I'll try it again with a different flower or another techinque.

Thanks for looking



Cake Smash | Olathe Kansas Photographer

I have so much fun with first birthday cake smash sessions. Kids are hilarious anyway, but give them a big pile of sugar with full permissions and well it can only = fun. You really can’t guarantee much with it. Some kids love it. Some kids could care less. But you can guarantee that it’s me, mom and dad pretty much laughing for 45 minutes straight.

Here is a sneak peek from this awesome little dudes cake smash! Happy Birthday Caleb!



Happy Turkey Day, Christmas and New Year!

I'm horrible, I havent posted a blog in what seems and feels like forever. Honestly I haven't been busy at all, at least with photography anyway. Life just kinda happens that way, you know? It got cold and not everyone is as crazy as I am by going out in the cold and taking pictures. But I do take them, just not as often as I should, as well as not posting them here. But that will soon change, I have loads of new things I get to use so I'll be putting those to the test very soon. Its the new year, which means new beginnings for everyone. In the mean time you'll probably be seeing more of my boys in pictures till it warms up some more. This weather is crazy, but hey thats the midwest for you!

I do have something to show you. On Christmas Eve I did manage to set up something. I was able to get macro water droplets and I'm fairly proud of them if I say so myself.



Thanks for looking! I hope everyone got what they were wanting for Christmas and had a great New Year!

Rachel!

Happy Halloween!!

I do realize I'm a little late with this blog post, but better late than never right? Anyway, I hope everyone enjoyed their halloween(for those who celebrate). We had a fantastic halloween this year. My husband finally didnt have to work and he wasnt deployed, who couldnt ask for a better one? He did have to go in for a few hours to cover someones shift, the joys of being an assistant manager, so maybe I should rephrase that? Naw you get my drift. What I'm getting at we all go to dress up this year, my boys always do. But mommy doesnt seeing as I don't like to go alone. But this year Mommy was a gangster, daddy was a spartan and my boys were GhostBusters!

It was pretty awesome!! They loved it! My youngest, Xavier understood it more this year. He picked up quick that the houses with lights on had candy and the ones without didnt. He'd often say 'mommy ooh no light' and run to the next house. Its safe to say he had a blast Sunday night.

Now I"m done rambling lets get to my photos!

We attempted pictures and as you can see they don't take me very serious lol.  But at least I have some right?

Thank you for looking!!!

Dynamite comes in small packages...

you remember that saying growing up? Or just overall? Sometimes how we never believe it till it happens, then its like woah! Well, this was most definitely the case here but in the best way possible. I meet up with this awesome family..Adalyn who is a bundle of joy and most definitely dynamite. My boys came along, since it was a bit different than normal it was a play date/session type thing. She loved my boys, monkey see kind of stuff. She and my boys had tons of fun. We managed to get them apart long enough so I could get a few snap shots while she was happy lol.

Well without further ado

Thanks for peeking! Until next time!

How they grow so fast...

your kids grow so fast, its quite insane. Here I am with an almost 6yr old and a 3yr old. My oldest is in Kindergarten. We took a shoot and did our own pictures. He decided he would talk to me throughout the whole process, lol. We talked about what kind of funny phrases we would say, stinky butt was his favorite. He couldn't stand still either lol, which is normal for him. He's non stop all day..he's been that way from far back as I can remember. He's like an energizer bunny..he keeps going and going lol. I love him though, he's a huge sweetheart when he's being like his daddy and a butthead(love you babe).

Well I feel like I've chatted enough, so here we go! Seths kindergarten pictures!

 

If you are interested in doing a session with your school aged kid please contact me. I do have packages just for school pictures. Check out http://www.photosbyrtripp.com/ or contact me on facebook/email.

Birthday Pictures for my own!

We attempted them, he wasnt to into them this time. That happens though when you have a very active almost 3yr old though. I'm just happy he at least cooperated a little bit during the whole thing. It was a very short, umm.. session with him lol. I'll be doing more next weekend hopefully when we have more time, we're planning his birthday party Saturday so all week we've been extremely busy making sure we have everything we need. As moms know its a never ending job double, triple checking the list.

So without further ado...

This one is my favorite^^^ he was so into it.

He didnt care to much for this! We got a bit gutsy on the rocks, I dont think he cared to much for my idea.

Oh how I love my boy! Well I shall return sometime during the week with birthday party pictures and hopefully I'll get some more big 3 pictures from him. Then next month I get to do it all again with the number 6!! My kids are getting so big =(

Thanks for reading!
