Rachel & Julia








          
Well, I can see we're going to have some problems here with blogger's interpretation of color (I've noticed it on my other blog, too.) Oh well, the point of this blog is the story behind the shoot, so I'll look the other way for now. Sigh. 
But how about Rachel and Julia---do you think they love each other? :) Shooting them was a blast. Julia has a very expressive face, (I have some other sweet shots of her cranking out some great faces!)  and Rachel's love for her baby is beautiful. This was not a planned shoot (we did a planned shoot before this that I'll post later), but rather a "hey- the sun is just setting and there's not much light but let's go for it anyway" kind of thing.  I think we caught some sweet mother daughter moments, don't you?

I like these close-ups because these moments---you know those nose-to-nose moments---you never forget what they feel like. And you can always go back to that place when you were nose to forehead with your perfect little person. I love that, and i think we captured it. Maybe the lighting wasn't our best friend that day, but I think we caught something nonetheless.


















And then forehead to forehead and nose-just off of-nose...maybe i'm reaching here but i think their two heads look like the top of a heart and Julia's elbow forms a perfect suggestive point at the bottom. I love it! These pictures also looked beautiful in antique, but I'm sticking with sepia for the blog. I like uniform shades of brown, but I'll write about that later.

Ticklebugs Photography

Welcome! Ticklebugs Photography is an offshoot of RobynBeckleyViningStudios. It's named after a fun family tradition started by my dad: Ticklebugs. You know when you're lying on the floor and think you've laughed the hardest you can laugh and then you see a big hand of wiggling fingers coming at you and someone saying, "Here comes the TICKELBUGS!"? Well, I personally don't like being tickled anymore, but my kids love it and the tradition has continued. This is a way to say thanks to my Dad and Mom for believing in me and helping me get my photography business started, and to my husband for continuing the tradition of (believing in me and) laughs and giggles and love with our own kids. I should note that signing up for a photoshoot with me does not mean you'll be tickled. Well, maybe...But I like life when you've laughed as hard as you think you can laugh, and then you laugh some more.  And I like to try to capture that kind of fun.

Stay tuned for group shoot locations and times (mini-sessions that save you money!). Located in the Milwaukee area.
