Another Milestone

John and Kim were married on a beautiful fall day and I was there to capture that major milestone in their life.  I was ecstatic to find out they reached another milestone when they brought their two boys home from Ethiopia and that they sought me out to archive the first family photographs.   These two boys steal your heart the moment you meet them.  John and Kim are so natural at parenting them.  Our session wasn’t without it’s breakdowns but overall it was a great morning on a gorgeous spring day.

Love is in the air- Book your Couple Session

When was the last time you and your spouse were photographed?  Your wedding?  It’s time to have some new photographs taken!  In honor of Valentine’s Day we have a special priced $50 session fee if you book a couple’s session in February or March (that is a $50 savings). It’s about time for you to have more then just your kids photographs, have some romantic ones of just the two of you.  I promise this session will remind you why you feel in love and that you still are!   It makes for a great Valentine’s Day present and an memorable date night.

Snowed In

So what does one do when they are snowed in for a better part of a week with a 17 month old?  Well, when you are a photographer you grab your camera and work on some photography skills.  I am not sure if Alea was happy about being a subject especially when I kept trying to keep her in certain light however she was a pretty good sport about it.  I am always trying to challenge my skills especially when understanding light.  I took the opportunity to enjoy the amazing light the snow was casting into the window.

The Negotiator

Landry was a top negotiator at our session.  An expert lawyer has nothing on this little boy.  He would allow me to photograph him based on his locations and his ideas.  He found certain places in the garden.  He wanted to play his guitar.  He wanted to photograph me photographing him.  I think my favorite time was when he finally decided to sit in the chair I had tried to get him for the last hour, of course it became his idea to seat there.  He began talking to me and told me “When I grow up I want to be a daddy”.  It melted my heart! Regardless of where, what or how we were able to get some great moments of this a little boy full of personality.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Miss Eliza B

Eliza B loves her mama.  She was not happy if mommy had to go to tend to anything other then her.  She was not to sure about having her photographs taken naked, without anyone to cuddle or sooth her.  She was most happy with her mama doing a little ssh, swinging dance that only a mama can do to rock this precious girl to sleep.  Once asleep, she was content to let us move her this way and that as long as mama’s reassuring arms were there.  We were able to capture some great photographs of this ever so sweet Eliza B.

Being an Aunt

Jane embraces her role as an aunt to the fullest, with her beautiful nieces I do not blame her.   It is evident in the way she pours her love into each of these little girls.  They very obviously return that affection as well.   Jane is accomplished, tender-hearted, and just overall fantastic person to know, all traits I am sure the older they get the more and more they will realize what a blessing having Jane as their aunt is.
