all the darling details {hamsptead, north carolina}

Anna Rasmussen Photographs — Wed, 07 Mar 2018 20:14:47 +0000

I love being a lifestyle newborn photographer. Beauty can be found and is hidden in the small moments of our everyday lives. As a lifestyle family portrait photographer, I get to live in and capture those moments. Confession : it has been months since I photographed this gorgeous baby boy, however as I scrolled through these images it all came rushing back to me. Capturing the love and delicate details in each image is why I do what I do.

This home had a simple but stunning design. Do you want an in home session? It is the best way to provide comfort and a natural feel to your photographs of your newborn baby.

I loved all the small details on baby boy, and that we got him sleeping and awake. Most importantly I loved capturing him snuggled up with his amazing mother and grandma.

Being a Topsail Beach family portrait photographer is the best “job” in the world. I love my families. We are preparing to move again this summer, such is the military life. You always know a session is going to go well when the dad greets you with “Just so you know, this next thirty minutes is going to be like torture for me.” Haha! At least he was being honest. This was my first time photographing these sweet boys and their baby sister, and I loved every moment. Of course three little boys with a tailend sister has my heart from the get go. The good news came at the end of the session when the husband informed me, “That went well, thanks for making it quick and painless!” Of course even better was to hear Mom’s reaction when she got to see these images of her gorgeous family. That is always my favorite part!

Being a Topsail Beach family portrait photographer is the best “job” in the world. I love my families. We are preparing to move again this summer, such is the military life. Leaving families such as this one and not being able to document them again next year breaks my heart. I have photographed these sweet boys every year I have lived here. I will miss them! This fall for the first time I started freelensing a few images for clients. I LOVE the way they turned out and I have seen them on many of my clients Christmas cards so I think they like them too! It gives such a dreamy feel to my images.

freelensing at the airport {documentary travel and street photography}

Anna Rasmussen Photographs — Wed, 10 Jan 2018 01:27:51 +0000

My favorite thing and what I most want to be is a documentary travel photographer. On our way home from our recent trip out west I had such fun documenting my children as we went through the airport. The airport is such an interesting place! There were so many fun pockets of light in the airport. I used quite a bit of free lensing in these shots because it is my favorite! Documenting the world but with a bit of magic and soft focus.

But goodness check out these gorgeous clothes, this gorgeous location and of course this stunning family. I always love photographing them!

have a spooky and safe halloween! {halloween lifestyle portraits, nc}

Anna Rasmussen Photographs — Tue, 31 Oct 2017 19:44:23 +0000

To say I had fun with these Halloween Lifestyle Portraits this year would be a vast understatement! I just could not get enough Halloween!! First of all, I loved each of the characters my kids chose and tried to make each child feel special in their different roles.

Let’s start off with Newt Scamander. Jake looks just like the Eddie Redmayne right?? We purposefully did not cut his hair in the months leading up to these Halloween Lifestyle Portraits so that it would be perfect. I did quite a bit of freelensing with all the kids images and I think it really adds to the dreamy quality. Freelensing makes it feel make believe. Jake was so into this character and has watch “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” several times. He has studied how Newt walks and talks, how he doesn’t really make eye contact, and he used all of this throughout our shoot. Actually all these images are undirected! After the fact I got the idea to Photoshop in some of the fantastic beasts and I have to say it was so awesome. I love the way it turned out! Also in case you didn’t know this about me and my family we are huge on all things fantasy : Harry Potter, Star Wars, Percy Jackson…sign us up for all of it.

Did I leave a major fantasy trilogy off that list? Obviously! Lord of the Rings! Next up was Gandalf and oh how I love this old soul finally dressed up to his age. Okay, maybe he isn’t that much of an old soul. Evan was also totally in character. All my children have beautiful eyes, but Evan’s are the deepest color I think. He had a great idea to add Gollum into one of his images and I was happy to oblige.

Kate was darling Belle, Beauty and the Beast the live people version came out this year. She insisted that she carry this book as the only way to complete her costume. Because “Belle loves to read and is super smart.” It was kinda my favorite thing she ever came up with. She refused to twirl! What can I say except this girl has her own mind for sure. Probably all that reading she likes to do…

Adam has decided he is too old to dress up for Halloween. But we had a completely separate day in the week before Halloween where I painted the kids faces. I have never taken the time to really do that before and it was SO much fun! Adam also got completely into character with the face paint. He is in drama club here and I think really enjoys acting. It should be fun to see where it takes him!

We lit a fire that night and played with smoke and flames and all sorts of creepy light. This created build up to the actual event. Don’t you feel the build up is the best part anyway? I am so grateful I took the time this year to have such a fun Halloween extravaganza, and most of all am so grateful for these four muses I call kids.

simplicity, love and beauty {lifestyle family portraits, las vegas nevada}

As a lifestyle family portrait photographer, I get to live in and capture those moments. Confession : it has been months since I photographed this gorgeous family, however as I scrolled through these images it all came rushing back to me. Seeing the love and personality in each image is the reason I do what I do.

This home had a simple but stunning design. Do you want an in home session? Having a home this gorgeous and white is not required! But I certainly wouldn’t complain if this was how every home I went into looked! I love how the children provided the pop of color and excitement in each image.

You might think these two beautiful children are twins! They are actually two years apart in age. The boy is older, but he was born early and has always been tiny. I love these children and this family but I hope that you all can feel the love between them more than anything else.
