Quenin & Aniyah | Six Month Twins!

Oh man, are you ready for this?! Introducing, for the second time, the cutest little twin you have ever seen! I did Quentin and Aniyah’s newborn pictures six months ago at my studio. It is so, so fun to watch these babies grow!

Because I have so many six-month-olds that come to my studio, I am getting into a pretty standard routine with my backdrops and props. Lately I feel like I have really come to develop my own personal style with these babies, and this session is a perfect example of a standard six month session at my studio. All of these images are taken using natural light and my 50mm 1.2 L-series lens.

I love the clean, crisp look of the white modern sofa combined with pops of color. Then, the warmer and softer, more organic-style woods and vintage furniture for a little variey. Props, furniture, backdrops, babies, it is all really so much fun!

Enjoy the pictures!

Where To Find Me

Wait a sec, what happened to that extra week that usually falls between Thanksgiving and Christmas? I guess I didn’t realize that week was not a guaranteed week! It’s been a mad house around here, trying to get everything finished before Christmas –  I’ve been wrapping, running (well, not really running…), ordering, editing, buying, tying, designing…I think you get my drift. Everything except, well, blogging!

I have lots and lots I want to share on this blog – great sessions from this summer and fall, random thoughts about life and motherhood, some photography tips, and even a few pictures of my own darling kids (gasp!).

But in the mean time, if you want to stay updated with my where-abouts, here are three places you can find me.

1. Pinterest

I am still loving Pinterest, mostly for the ability to organize all of my thoughts, ideas, and inspiration…all in one place! Lately I’ve been a bit obsessed with branding and typography (like these great free fonts), paleo recipes, buffalo plaid, and styling this vest. And a whole lot more. You can follow me on Pinterest (see link above). All of the cool kids are doing it (just kidding).

2. Instagram

As I mentioned in here, I would probably have to consider Instagram as my guilty pleasure.  I’m not sure why I feel the compulsion to actually post selfies (ahem), or pictures of my snow-covered shoes, my freshly painted nails, or the paleo coconut curry I made last night, but somehow Instagram makes me do it. Feel free to follow me (username is @photographybynealy) if you want to see a peak into my daily life, and some shots from behind-the-scenes. All pictures posted are iPhone pictures, of course. 🙂 I reserve this puppy for my photo sessions.

3. Facebook

The easiest and best way to stay updated with Photograph By Nealy is through Facebook. This is where I announce my specials and mini-sessions, as well as many sneak-peeks that go on Facebook months before they make it to the blog. It would mean the world to me if you would “like” my Facebook page!
