Sisters

Last week, I had a session with these two gorgeous sisters, Colleen and Carolyn, and their families.  Have I mentioned how envious I am of all you ladies that have a sister? (No offense little brother.)

Carolyn asked me to do this shot. I had done the same pose for a friend of hers last year. I was happy to oblige. Aren't her two girls gorgeous ?

Colleen and her beautiful family. Notice the nice warm light? Another reason fall is my favorite time to to do portraits...yummy evening light.

Carolyn with hubby Kent. Kent did this on his own and I said "hold up!" and snapped it.

Lastly, sweet little Avery- getting lots of love from mom and dad.

I am not going to share the main picture these ladies wanted. I don't spoil any surprises they may have. ;)  I'll just say that I am very pleased with the end result.

Thanks Carolyn and Colleen! I will be in touch soon with the rest of your proofs.

 
 
 
 
 

My baby is five

A couple of weekends ago, I had two birthday boys in the house. Jacob turned 14 (more about his party later) and Sam turned five. FIVE! I still can't grasp it. The past five years have flown by.

Sam has never had a "real" birthday party. (Wow, that sounds sadder than it really is. We always make a big to do about birthdays at home.) He was super excited when I planned a little bowling party for a few of his friends. Every time we drive past the bowling alley, he asks to go bowling. 

    

It didn't take Sam long to get the hang of it.

 

This picture cracks me up.

Wonder what he was thinking here? He is looking a just a tad confident.

 

Each of the kids had a different method.

 

 

Overall, I think it was a hit. :)

I'll have to post some of my other boy's party next. It was post-poned until he recovered from the flu.
 

Playing catch up

To say things have been a little busy over the past couple of months just might be an understatement. The first thing I start to neglect is this blog.  So, here are a few favorites from sessions this fall.  I think I will be caught up after this, with the exception of a wedding...I'll tell you more about that in another post.

Have a safe Halloween!!!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 

Rory

Sweet little Rory was such a doll to photograph. She gave me plenty of smiles while she was awake.

She was even smiling here while her momma was trying to get her to sleep.

By the way, check out this beautiful nursery. (I am just a little envious of the chair.)

  

And towards the end, she finally gave it up.

 

Thank you, Allison, for a wonderful session with your baby girl. 

   

 

 
  

Sweet little Millie

Millie was four weeks old when we did her session. That's on the older end of the newborns I have done.  I wasn't sure what we would get. After a few snacks and a very patient mom, she went right to sleep.

When I first saw this nursery, I immediately loved that pink chair. I think her room looks like something out of a Pottery Barn catalog.

 

Look at how she curls those legs and she did that all by herself.

  

Yep, I had to take another shot of those little legs and feet.

 

Thank you Kristen! I hope you enjoyed this little sneak peek. :)

 
 

 

Double Blessings

I am late on a few sneak peeks for the blog. It seems like lately I do better at posting my sneak peeks on Facebook. I promise to do better. Check out these boys- 4 week old Adam and Evan.  How precious are they? :)

 

Mr. Adam

Mr. Evan

Have a great weekend! I'll be shooting my cousin Amy's OUTDOOR wedding. So keep your fingers crossed for good weather.

 
 
 

Mr. & Mrs. M

Congratulations to Becky and Anthony!  These guys eloped last month and I did their reception last weekend.  I hope you have many happy years together. :)

 

Baby Luke

This little guy was one month old.  He was awake when I arrived and quickly fell asleep and let me do my thing. He was easy peasy.

 

 

And his big brother, Saxon...a photographer's dream with that red hair.

Enjoy your sneak peek Natasha and Wes. I'll be in touch soon. :)

 

Landen~ 6 days new

I have done a LOT of baby boys lately! Not that I am complaining...I love 'em.

Here's another cutie, Landen. His mom lined up his newborn photo appoinment before she left the hospital. I love that. Talk about organized!

 

I caught a little smile. :)

 

   

I'll have a post this week about Holiday Mini-Sessions. So stay tuned.

Rohan- 10 days new

Baby boys seem to be popping up all around lately.  Meet Rohan. His family had just moved here and settled in just in time for his arrival. Check out those lips. They kill me.

 

Ten days is such the perfect age to photograph a newborn. He curled right up.

  

His momma really wanted the daddy's arm shot. I was happy to oblige. :)

 

Lastly, a family photo. Thanks so much Shilpa and Justin! I enjoyed working with your family.
