Award Winning Family Photographer | From Maternity & Babies to Seniors & Underwater Space Coast - Brevard County FL Project 12: February Video | Family Photographer Fernandina Beach FLSo I completely forgot to shoot video in February, oops. That means two for March so that I can catch up. Early March was the perfect time to get some video done as we were staying at a house by the beach in Virginia so I had a little more time on my hands to make sure I did it. I also jumped in a couple clips because I want to make sure my son knows and remembers that I was there too (and not always behind the camera)! This video doesn't contain any still shots so I used iMovie this time (I used Lightroom for January's video). I have to say, I am not a fan of iMovie. I think I may need to look into investing in some better video editing software sometime soon. Lightroom isn't too bad but it's very limited on what I can do with video. Anyone have video editing software (for Mac) they'd like to recommend? Another reflection from this second video, I prefer to mix stills with video. I like that this one has more actual video clips than the first, but I miss having the stills thrown in there too! I also need to get better at leveling my horizons when I take video or find a program that lets me fix that, haha! Crooked horizons are a huge pet peeve of mine! Well here it is... video number two!

Personal Projects 2016 - February | Saint Marys, GA | Fernandina Beach, FL | Child PhotographyIt's hard to believe I'm 3/4 of the way through my first 100 day project. I have learned so much from doing it (that I will be sharing a post on at the end of the project) and had a lot of fun. My son has had fun being in the photos as well as occasionally helping decide what we should do for our daily action shot! Here are my Project 52 images and a few favorites from my 100 Days of Action for the month of February. Project 52 6/52 - Jump
7/52 - Climber
8/52 - Spinning

Personal Project - Project 12: A Video a Month | Family Photographer Saint Marys GAPersonal project number three this year is a Project 12 - Video project. My goal is to create video once a month to practice a new skill. This first video is a video fusion that brings together both video and still images together. My son turned four in January and instead of a party, we bought him a power wheels. He was so excited to drive it (as you can see in the video)! We took him to a park down the road that would have some shade so I could attempt to get some decent video and would have plenty of space and little traffic so he could practice driving. So without further ado, here's my first attempt at video fusion...

Turn Your Family Memories Into a Work of Art | Family Photographer St Marys - FernandinaA custom portrait experience isn't complete without turning your family memories into a work of art to display in your home. It's why every collection I offer includes prints, canvas, or an album. New this year, I am offering fine art prints. These prints truly take your images to the next level. They are GORGEOUS! The photo I took just doesn't do them justice. You really have to see them in person. (But I'll tell you more about them below.)
These images are printed on a museum grade Hahnemühle fine art paper that is 100% cotton and has a beautiful texture similar to watercolor paper. Each print is finished with Hahnemühle’s Protective Spray to guard your prints from dirt, UV rays, fingerprints and moisture. (Though I recommend they be framed as soon as possible if you buy them unframed.) All prints up to 16x20 are custom matted to fit standard frame sizes. Custom framing is available with a 1.5 inch or 3 inch mat. Let's start customizing your family session and create an art piece to hang on your wall. Contact me to schedule your complimentary consultation. To see more about the other products I offer, head over to the product page. <3 Kim Owner/Photographer-Artist Kimberly Tank Art & Photography
St Marys Child Photography | Miss G Turns 3Happy Birthday Miss G! I've photographed this sweet child since she was a newborn. It's hard to believe she's already 3! I have loved watching her grow into the silly, smart, ray of sunshine she is today. Miss G loves Crooked River State Park so we decided to do her pictures there. She had fun running and twirling her dress in the woods. Here are a few of my favorites.
And don't you just love her curls?! Hope your birthday is a blast G! <3 Kim Owner/Photographer-Artist Kimberly Tank Art & Photography Need updated pictures of your kiddos? Contact me today for more information on scheduling a child or birthday mini session! Sister Milestones | Jacksonville Baby & Child PhotographerThese two cuties are back on the blog! Miss M just turned 4 and Miss E has accomplished sitting on her own so I helped capture these milestones. We did a few of Miss E at her home on the same bed we did her newborn pictures. Then we headed to the zoo for some fun and playful shots of big sister and a couple with Miss E too. Here are a sprinkling of my favorites.
Miss M is taking ballet classes so I captured some of these fun ones of her showing off her moves!

This last one is probably my favorite. We were looking at the tiger exhibit and Miss M wanted to see what was behind this door. The light coming through and her expression were great!

Personal Projects 2016 - January | Saint Marys, GA Child PhotographyI gained so much from doing a personal project last year and knew I needed to continue into this year as well. I loved that I had more "big camera" photographs of my family so I'm going to continue with another Project 52, though this year will be un-themed so I will hopefully not fall behind so often like last year. I also joined a group doing a 100 day project, 100 Days of Ten, where we spend 10 minutes a day on something (search #100daysof10 on Instagram to see others in the group). I've been so inspired by the others in the group and realizing how much we can really get done every day if we prioritize our time and set goals (something I'm really working on). I chose to do 100 days of action shots. Some days I feel uninspired, but I just keep going and sometimes getting bored is when the creativity really sparks. I started the project wanting to find ways to freeze action and get better action shots, but I found I really love blurring action and doing panning to show the motion in the image and being more creative with it. As if that's not enough, I also decided to also do a Project 12 in which I will do a video a month. Here are my Project 52: Finding the Beauty & Joy in Every Day images and a few of my favorites from my 100 Days of Actions Shots for the month of January. 1/52 - Thinker (Stinker) He looks like he's deep in thought but really he was over me taking pictures that day and didn't want anything to do with the camera, thus the double title.
2/52 - Birthday Boy We gave my son a power wheels car for his birthday and took it to the park to get some fun pictures of him driving it. He had a blast! 3/52 - Lake Oconee Sunrise This image was taken while away for the NAPCP retreat at the Ritz Carlton Reynold's Plantation outside Atlanta, GA. A group of us ended up all out at the lake one morning to capture the beautiful sunrise over the lake. It was one of my favorite moments of the retreat.
4/52 - Little Rock Star It was a cold and rainy day and I wasn't sure if I was going to manage to get my action shot for the day and then my son decided we needed to rock out to some Aerosmith. So I snapped a bunch of photos and saved this one for my project 52 image of the week. Then I put down my camera and we had a blast!
5/52 - On a Roll I was playing with double exposure this week to show motion and I loved this image but chose another for my 100 days shot so this became my 52 week shot.
