Hello! My name is Pamela Macdonald. Welcome to my photography blog! I love to find images to photograph through even the tiniest details placed all around us. I also especially love gearing my work towards photographing babies, children, and families. It is extremely rewarding for me to be able to help others in this way. I've been told to 'do what makes your heart leap', and photography is one of the things that does just that for me. I have found it as one of my main creative outlets and I'm so grateful to have been given the opportunities to start this little photography business of mine. What inspires me? Plenty of things: the strength that is my husband, bright colors, a calm melody, Fall weather, babies, sunsets, laughter, rainy days, bright blue skies, brave integrity, elegant and graceful demeanor, and love. This blog is where you can see some of the products of that inspiration and my thoughts on them. You can read my ramblings, find out more about how I work, leave a comment, see how to book a session, and of course, view my growing collection of photographs! Thank you for visiting and taking the time to look around! Enjoy! [...
Anna is a friend from work and Vanessa is her *now* 15-year-old daughter. A few weeks ago, Anna emailed me asking to book a shoot as a surprise birthday gift that she wanted to give to Vanessa. This resulted in a fun morning photo shoot at the beach.First, can I just say what beautiful and sweet people these two are. I've known Anna for about 2 years now, and she has always been one of the kindest people ever. Her daughter, Vanessa, is such a sweetheart and has such a bubbly personality. I had never met her before, but when I did that day, I felt like I had already known her for a long time before. They were both naturals in front of the camera and took direction easily. I didn't have to say much and they knew what I was going for. By the end of the session, we were cracking up and running around looking silly (but not caring) on the sand. This is one of the shoots where I think I definitely had the most fun.
Secondly, I. love. the. beach. The fact that I can go there for a job that I enjoy doing made me feel so thankful. I had some time before they arrived to just sit there on the sand and think. With all the craziness and busy schedules life can throw at you, sometimes you feel like you can never just get a moment to do that. It felt so good & so peaceful. I definitely felt so thankful to be there.
Anna is just stunning. She looks like she could be sisters with Vanessa. I just love this one, it's my favorite shot of her.
& Vanessa is such a beautiful girl!
Jumping photos never really fail to make me smile.
And speaking of smiles, look at her great one :)
I just love this one of her :)
You know what else never fails? Heart hands.
I just love how they had fun together doing this. This one of them laughing together is one of my favorites.
And these next two to me show how much they love each other and enjoy being together.
I felt so honored to be able to do this shoot for them :) It was such a great gift idea by Anna to give to her only daughter, and I had so much fun capturing these moments for them.
Anna & Vanessa: Thank you again for such a fun time & allowing me to do this for you both! You two are wonderful! Oh...can't forgot to put up one of these... ;)
And here's a slideshow with some of the other shots :) Click here for a larger view.
