You Make Me Smile!

The other night I had the opportunity to photography my little nephew, Caiden, again! It’s so funny how fast time flies. Caiden turns one on June 27th and it seems like just a couple of weeks ago that I was getting things in line for my float in the Melrose Parade when we got the call that I had a new little nephew! Crazy that a whole year has passed and that this little guy has grown so much. I visited him today and he surprised me with his first couple of steps. I’m sure by the time his mom and dad read this he will be running!

Caiden- I had SO much fun with you the other night. I can’t wait to celebrate with you at your circus themed birthday party! I know you are a little circus monkey at heart! Enjoy your photos, and I can’t wait to watch you grow for another year! (lets make this one go by a little slower though!)

Love,
Uncle Adam

Here is the video and the photos from Caiden’s session. I hope they make you smile!

tutu, birthday hat, giggles, and pouts- GRACE

adamhommerding — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 23:58:24 +0000

I met little Grace last year after her mom and I met each other at Ridgewater College where we attend school for Photography. (her mom is Darcie- “the queen of pink, damask, leg warmers, and everything girly!”) Darcie has begged me to photograph her girls for some time now and I finally gave in. Why now? I don’t know. But now that I know how much fun it was to photograph one of her girls, I know I will not put it off this long ever again!

Darcie came to me with an idea ( i secretly think she is trying to get me off my modern funk by inserting a little girly flair into my session! lol) Grace is soon to turn 4, and Darcie had a hat and tutu made for her birthday. My job was to photograph her for her invite and I love how they turned out. I had so much fun photographing Grace. She is such a sweet, happy, funny, and beautiful little girl. Darcie and Luke- you make the best little kids!

The tutu and the hat were made by Darcie’s good friend, Jessi, who sells really awesome birthday party supplies for little kids. Her business is called Polkadots & Pirates. You NEED to look at her Etsy site and blog. She is super creative and awesome to work with.

Thank you Grace for being so sweet, Darcie (and Luke) for creating such a cute little girl, Darcie’s mom and grandma for bringing Grace into school for the session, and Jessi for making such cool stuff!

Sarah… model shoot.

adamhommerding — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 14:17:40 +0000

So the last semester of school is in full swing for me and I was lucky to have Sarah come to Willmar to model for me. Sarah is my friend Darcie’s cousin. Darcie did an awesome shoot with Sarah this past fall and she asked me if I would like to photograph her as well. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity!

The session was awesome and I have to say that this is probably my favorite studio session ever! Thank you Sarah for modeling.

A day at PotSpot

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone’s new year is off to a good start. Mine has been busy. I’m busy completing my last semester of college, getting business stuff ready for this years seniors and families, and just trying to complete everything on my to do list in a timely manor! I am trying to leave a little room for fun as well, and I had a really great time the other week with Amanda at PotSpot in Avon.

Amanda and I have been wanting to paint some pottery for a while now and I heard great things about PotSpot so we had to go check it out! Amanda and I are obviously not their most common customers. The place is perfect for little kids and as soon as I walked in I knew it would be a great place for any of my clients to bring their kids. They had so many things to paint and it was difficult to choose! Amanda and I had a fun 6 hours there (yes SIX HOURS!) and we walked out with three pieces of pottery done!

So, if you are looking for something to do on these cold winter days we are having this year, go check out PotSpot! It is really a lot of fun!

PotSpot Hours:

Monday: By Appointment
Tuesday: Noon-7pm
Wednesday: By Appointment
Thursday: Noon-7pm
Friday: Noon-7pm
Saturday: 11-6pm
Sunday: 1-5pm

Go check it out! Go have some fun!

Here are a few photos of Amanda and I hard at work!

Pierskalla Family

adamhommerding — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:53:05 +0000

Last weekend I had a session with the Pierskalla Family in Melrose. Leon, Dina, Brenna, and Zack fought the cold with my assistant, Amanda, and I. We had a lot of fun at a few different locations. Leon is a member of the Melrose Fire Department so we spent some time at the new fire station and then we headed over the the Pierskalla family business, John Dough’s Pizza! I had a lot of fun working with your family. I hope you enjoy your sneak peeks of a few of my favorite images from your session. I will have the rest of your proofs ready for you by later next week. Enjoy!

p.s. If you have not been to John Dough’s Pizza, you have to make an effort to stop in there. They have the best pizza in the area and plus it is always fun to see how it is decorated for the current holiday! Give them a call at 320.256.3333. (Their supreme pizza is my favorite!)

Aydree turned ONE!

adamhommerding — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 20:30:04 +0000

I had a lengthy paragraph written for this post but my computer gacked and erased it all… SO … I don’t know if I should try and remeber what I had all written or just keep it short and sweet and just share the photos!

Aydree made a trip down to Willmar to meet me so I could photograph her in the studio for her one year photos. I love watching her at this age. She just seems so smart, and personality filled ever since she started walking. She isn’t a little girl anymore. She seems so big now that she is running all over the place. I had a fun afternoon with you Aydree. I hope you aren’t sick of me torturing you with my camera yet, cause I know that I am not even close to being done with photographing you!

Late, but better than never!

Only a month and a half late on posting this but it is for family, and I think they can handle it! I took Caiden’s three month photos back in October, and since it was a little cold that day I decided to try out some new studio lights indoors. I managed to complete the session, but being inside and using studio lights really made me love my on-location shooting so much more! The next day the sun decided to be our friend so we went out and did a little family shoot as well. Enjoy!

The rain won’t stop us! well not this time…

adamhommerding — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 22:31:12 +0000

After three cancelations because of weather, I wasn’t going to cancel again! The other weekend I met up with my aunt and uncle and cousins for a fun fall session. The rain still came and made my job a a little more challenging but I am always up for a good photographic challenge! Putting the weather aside, I’m pretty excited about the images I got. I had a lot of fun working with you guys and can’t wait to show you the rest of your images later this week! Here are just a few sneak peek images to hold you over until Friday! Enjoy!
