Lisa Campbell (Now Eikenberry) Photography

I miss it! And what should my new biz name be?

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Eikenberry) — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:20:00 +0000

I miss taking photos! Many of you know from reading my Facebook that my life has been a bit chaotic for a while which has prevented me from doing any photo shoots. Such as a broken ankle, a move to Florida, and a new husband. If it was not for the new husband part of it all...I would not be as sane as I have been.

I have been thinking for sometime about posting articles on how to take better photos of your children. You should still hire a professional for those special moments. Hire one for your family photos and those once of a life time photos like the birth of your baby and your wedding day. These articles will be how to take better everyday snapshots. What you will learn will even help you take better photos with your camera phone.

I am still putting the pieces together along with working on a new blog and website. Right now I am asking those who are interested to please let me know what kinds of articles you are looking for.

Another problem I am having is trying to figure out what my new biz name should be. My new last name is Eikenberry. I could use Lisa Eikenberry Photography. But I am worried that it is not easy to spell so may make it harder for people to find me. I was thinking of using the word Bokeh in my name but having a hard time finding a domain. So bring on your ideas and let me know what you think.

You can post your article ideas and name ideas on my blog, my Facebook or email me.

Here is one of my favorite photos of a sweet little girl that wanted most of the photo shoot to take place in the water.

Lisa Mills

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Eikenberry) — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 18:13:00 +0000

I had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful blues artist recently. I was introduced to Lisa Mills last summer and have never missed a local show since. Not only is she one of the best blues singers I have ever heard, she is even more awesome since we share the same name.

Lisa's most recent album “Tempered in Fire” is always playing in my car. Other drivers probably think I am crazy seeing me sing my heart out to Lisa’s music. Some of her songs speak to me about the past - “I’m Changing” and “My Happy Song”, and others to a hopeful future - “These Arms of Mine” which was originally sung by Otis Redding, and “Tempered in Fire” which is a very sexy song. Another one of my favorites is one that puts me in a good mood no matter what my day is like “Keep on Smiling"
She is currently working on a new gospel album that I can't wait to hear!

To learn more about this wonderful artist check out her Website and like her on Facebook.

And for Mississippi locals Lisa will be playing at Mosaics May 11th and Hucks on May 26th.

I love that she picked out black & white photos as her favorites from our session!

The found hat

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Eikenberry) — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 20:31:00 +0000

Last week My oldest child (the one that will not let me take his photo) found this really cool black hat. So this morning I took the little ones out for some quick photos with this new found hat. I only spent about 10 minutes total with my kids. Melllissa was trying really hard not to crack up, Isaac was just being silly and James was very serous. It took a poke from mom to get a little smirk out of him.

Here is a great way to find wonderful natural light for photos. Find a spot that is in the shade but near open light. Place your subject so they are facing the open light but still in the shade. No flash is needed and you have beautiful even light for your photos. You can see that their eyes also have wonderful catch-lights.

Commercial work -SunRae Kids

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Eikenberry) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 18:05:00 +0000

Look at me! 2 blogs posts in a matter of a few days! Think I can keep it up?

On occasion I will do some commercial work to mix things up. A while back I photographed a clothing line for SunRae kids based out of Portland OR. One of the outfits was for my son Isaac. It was a little big on him so I put off photographing him in it. This morning while going though my sons cloths I found them again. In the same drawer I found his superman cape. It did not take me long to have a vision of what I wanted to do. It also did not take much convincing to get my 3 year old outside to run around for me. The weather this morning was also perfect with it's overcast skies.

Christmas Mini Special

A favorite session from earlier this year

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Eikenberry) — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 15:14:00 +0000

I know it has been a while since I have blogged a session. Life has been a little overwhelming and blogging has been one of the things left behind.

I wanted to share some images from one of my favorite sessions earlier this year. This family brought a boat along with them made by the child's grandfather before he died. So it is pretty sentimental to them.

Following is information on this adorable clothing line.

SunRae Kids is a labor of love by artist Alison Rae Campbell and her friend and business partner Sonia Halvorson. For years, appreciators of Alison's artwork have been asking if she considered doing a children's clothing line. When Alison moved to Portland Oregon, where her long-time friend Sonia was waiting, the time had come. The pair partnered to bring this line of happy monsters into fruition.

Everything at SunRae Kids is 100% organic, hand dyed, and hand printed by the artist with water-based inks.

The host should provide food or ask guess to bring some as a potluck.

I had the pleasure to not only photograph this little angle coming into this world but also 9 days later. The first photo was a request from daddy that has a love for magic.

I had tons of fun with this family at The Little Children's Park in Ocean Springs. I know the girls favorite part of the session was all the spinning!

New blog and my daugter

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Eikenberry) — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 22:18:00 +0000

This girl is HTML illiterate! And I know I have wanted a new blog for quite sometime but did not want to pay a fortune for it. So I contacted Rita from The Coffeeshop Bog for a new design. She was wonderful to work with and made the process painless! There is still some tweeks to be done like working on the categories and the About me...but basically this is it! Now I just need a new website!

So to show off my new blog here are some recent photos I took with my daughter for her 9 year old photos. These were done with my basic processing and my new love for actions created by Nichole Van

All available dates and times will be posted when available and will be on a first pay first serviced basis.

Art- I am now doing a bit of art with photos. Please see my and take a look. I will pick a few of my favorites from every session to play with. If you are interested in some artwork for a specific photo please let me know. Also if any past clients would like to reorder some photos with some art please let me know.

Blogging- Many of you know that I have mainly about my kids. I have decided to make things easier and will be combining both blogs. Soon this blog will also be showing more of my personal side with stories and photos of my children.

Peek- The photo below is one of the winners of the contest I held. I will be holding another one once I reach 1000 likes on page. I am very very close.

I had so much fun with the photo contest that I want to do another. But first I want you to help me reach 1000 fans. I only need 21 more fans to reach my goal! All you have to do is point your friends to my Facebook page.
