2013 :: A year of laughter and love :: Madison Indiana Photographer Favorite Photos

What a year 2013 has been! The year started with a newborn boom and only got busier from there. Here’s a little highlight of my year!

Amy Horn Photography
…grew by 1,000 fans on Facebook
…booked 50% more sessions than in 2012
…debuted styled mini sessions
…traveled to the first Florida destination wedding

Other great things from 2013 include:

I taught my first full-day photography class in partnership with Hanover College and have loved watching my students push their limits and grow as photographers.

Cara, owner of Little Golden Fox, and I paired up to offer two beautifully styled mini sessions this fall and winter and we are so excited to work together for more in 2014. The meeting of these two crazy creative minds have us swimming with beautiful ideas for 2014.

I attended a one-day newborn and maternity workshop with Jennie Pyfferoen and Stephanie Knowles to help hone and improve my newborn photography.

I met and photographed independent seniors who have the world at their fingertips to beautiful babes who are feeling with theirs for the first time; families laughing and playing together to little children exploring their surroundings and couples whose love overflows my heart just looking at their photos.

2013 allowed me to experience sessions designed to capture photos of special moments in time to ones that are meant to capture the every day.

What will 2014 bring? There are several beautiful and exciting announcements to come…

Here are my favorites from 2013. I’m not saying these are at “Best of…” collection, but rather some of my personal favorites from the year. Instead of trying to narrow it down to a specific number of photos, I decided to choose images that spoke to me and made me laugh, cry smile and feel the emotion oozing from the screen. I didn’t include any mini session photos in this post, plus I’ve already posted a blog of my favorites from the Christmas minis!

I met some amazing seniors this year who really trusted me to let them express who they are at this amazing point in their lives.

Family Portraits – The Ehrnreiter Challenge

I wanted to post a brief entry to talk about my family’s portraits last weekend. I feel like I went through the gamet – planning, styling and then implementing our family portrait session. Albeit it only involved my parents, my brother and his family and my husband and I, it was still some work. I’m hoping that this helps some of my amazing clients (and future clients) in planning a successful family session!

We were on a real time crunch for our photos (more on that later) so we didn’t have a lot of time to get a photographer so I opted to purchase a remote shutter and enroll the help of a friend to help get the little one’s attention to the camera and click the shutter a few times for me too! Here is the process I went through:

1. Choose location. For me, I wanted to use my family’s property in Milton, Ky. and knew I wanted to use the old barn and also have a nature background.

2. Choose your color scheme. Knowing I was using the gray barn and the nature scene, I wanted something that could complement either. I told the family to pick either white, dark gray or navy blue. I also allowed one person in each “family group” to wear a plaid. This would maximize us at three plaid patterns that I knew I could evenly disperse throughout the poses. (We all went with gray or white) We decided that it didn’t matter for sleeve length and ended up having a good mix of long, short and no sleeves. I also told the family jeans (didn’t matter the wash) and any shoe or sandal (avoiding sneakers if you could).

3. Choose your time. I knew the lighting is MONEY first thing in the morning at my mom’s house but that it didn’t work with anyone’s schedule (and we DEF didn’t need to deal with the craziness of one another that early!) We went with evening so we could get some golden hour love and I knew that the temps would cool off (it was kinda warm!).

So then it was up to me (the photog) to do our posing and workflow (so leave that to your photog too!). I knew I wanted some smiling poses and then wanted some of us just hanging out – so I handed over my remote to my 3-year-old nephew for a part of the session too.

Here’s how a few of our family photos turned out. I’m loving them – and my crazy family! (And through this, I realized that my hair is getting REALLY long.)

Enjoy!
