About B. Kengle Photography
My name is Beckie. Thank you for visiting my blog. I am a natural-light portrait photographer serving the Oroville, Chico, and Paradise areas of Northern California. And I love what I do! I am also a wife and a mother. My husband and children are why I first picked up a camera. They have inspired me! Take a look around; I hope you enjoy your visit here, and thank you for taking the time to stop by.
I apologize for slacking on the blogging! Last month I visited Reno to photograph Shelby and Becca’s beautiful wedding at the historic Chism House. I had fun doing their engagement pictures last August, and was looking forward to their wedding, because I knew it would be beautiful! So, sit back, and enjoy a handful of their wedding images!!
Once again, I’ve been slacking. Not only on posting here, but also of posting pictures of my own kids. You’d think it’d be easy for me to get pictures of my kids as I see them all day long, but it’s really not! Anyway, here are some we shot today, while testing out the lighting in “our not-yet-a-studio” studio. We are working on transforming an empty storage unit at my family’s storage facility into a studio, so we wanted to see how the light was. In my opinion, it was sweet! I only used my Speedlight to bounce some light off of the white ceiling in the unit, otherwise, these are all natural light from outside the unit.
Or should I say my daughter’s best friend?! I have blogged about “Piggy” before, but this post is special. He is almost 5 years old, and if he’s to make it safely to the keepsake box, he will need to retire soon. So, we took “Piggy” outside for a little photoshoot, and for my daughter’s 5th birthday in August, I am going to have a canvas made for her bedroom, so that he’ll always be around!
This is the shot I chose to use…
This week over at I Heart Faces, it’s all about the babies! But I don’t have access to a baby until about September 1st. That is when my niece is due with her first! Baby Wyatt! I can’t wait to meet him. So for now I just have the belly shot! Be sure to check out all the other super cute baby shots over at I Heart Faces!!
This week is ‘barefoot week’ over at the “I Heart Faces” blog. The main goal is to help raise awareness for “Soles 4 Souls”, but also to see some fun pictures of anything relating to feet. Click on the buttons below to learn more about “Soles 4 Souls” and to see those fun feet pictures!
And now for my “barefoot week” entry…
Here is another shot from my family session last night! She is so very shy. She’d smile and play it up for me for a bit, but as soon as the shutter clicked she was looking away or head down or she stopped smiling. I happened to catch this moment while she was picking a wildflower! After she heard my shutter click, then she actually turned and smiled for me, but I love how this shot came out!
I met up with the Brilliante family this evening at the Bidwell Marina. We had fun! Little Man was such a ham. He was directing his mom and dad while I was getting some “couple” shots, and I told him I was going to hire him to be my assistant! Thank you, Brilliantes, for allowing me to capture your family!
Saturday was Eric & Jenn’s big day! It was a beautiful ceremony in a beautiful park on a beautiful day! What more is there to say? Enjoy!
About a month after Austin & Alyssa’s wedding, we decided to get together again. We had a lot of shots that we were unable to get due to power outages and time constraints and of course the sun going down. They we more than happy to oblige! So, here is a small sample of what we were able to re-capture!
