A Photoshoot with Grandma Kip

Grandma Kip aka The Kipster has some skills.
We both have a love for photography and never leave home
without a camera. I went home this last weekend to see the fam and
my auntie threw me one heck of a baby shower while I was there!
I was also lucky enough to take some maternity pics with the always
great Carly Daniel, who always inspires both my mom
and I to get into the photography business!
My mom, sister and aunt all came along to the new secret spot
we found in Costa Mesa (who knew Costa Mexico had an awesome park).
My mom brought her camera to somewhat shadow and learn
from Carly, while I tried to observe as much as possible too and
learn how she poses people and watch her in her element!
Carly is crazy talented and such a natural behind the camera lense!
She is the best to watch and observe and has so much to teach!

These are a few pics my mom snapped of me, and no I can never
be serious in front of my mom's camera!

What's a photoshoot without a lil' Bakken Booty action?

and of course the always famous Double Peace!

So the next day we decided to try out Kip's camera skills and put our creative
minds together and went over to Edison, my old stomping grounds
for HS soccer, and take some pics with some cleats and a ball just for fun.
It was so fun to do something like that for my mom and to just be
her test dummy to practice on. We took about 50 pics and I chose
the ones I liked best to put on here. We messed around with different poses,
different angles, and of course a few different props! I think my
mom did a great job for this being her first attempt at taking pictures
as if I was an actual client not just her daughter who she shamelessly
loves to embarrass her girls in front of friends trying
to get "the perfect picture angle"!! We don't have any editing
software for now, so these are all without any editing
or photoshopping all my flaws! Kip is the bomb and I can't wait to
see her skills and creative side develop even more now!

Kait has twins...while I just have ONE. One LARGE one.

Hatching "the next Mia Hamm"

Who doesn't wear pearls to soccer these days right?

I have some serious plumber's crack going on behind the scenes!
It was quite "breezy" back there! :)

P.S. We need to get my mom an actual name for her photography business
if she wants to get serious about it. Any suggestions??
