The stands were full as I photographed the kids at the Morris Center YMCA. It was amazing how the crowd stood still for me…
I had a great time with Debbie and her husband Brian when they came in for a creative portrait session. Debbie runs an online shopping site and was looking for some images for her website. Together we created some stylish images - take a look!
I’m looking forward to seeing Deb’s new website - www.etrendzshop.com.
Who doesn’t remember all those photos lined up with our cousins. Now I understand what our parents went through trying to get the perfect shot. I had a blast with these kids - all at different stages!
Here is Matthew loving his new little baby sister Cara.
Ansley and Gia did a lot of little girl giggling that cracked me up!
Sean held Ryan just for a moment before he tilted over holding his little brother!
The next images were individual shots that I did of the older kids. I let them let loose a little with some silly faces and got a beautiful display of funny shots!
Happy New Year to All! As I sit here, 10 days into 2010, I am so happy to have met so many children, families, pets and professionals. I was also happy to photograph some of my longtime friends and family. Sit back and enjoy my Year in Review. Can you find yourself?
Maggie has all the grace of a dancer as we photographed her in movement and still. I am amazed at the discipline that must be required to move in the way she did. Let’s take a look.
Maggie’s smile brightened the room and she was such a delight to photograph.
Her movement just flowed and I she was very patience with me as I caught just the right moment.
I really had a hard time deciding on this last shot. She looked so beautiful in these last dramatic shots.
Good luck Maggie!
It’s hard to believe that Gavin is now a year old. And watching Anna grow has been such a pleasure. They arrived right before our big snow storm last week and had a blast.
Anna was a perfect model following all my directions. I loved these images of her sitting and smiling up a storm.
Here are Anna and Gavin together. How cute!
Gavin is such a happy kid - laughs easily and just loved smiling for his Mom and Dad! I loved this first shot. Almost like Oh No! Caught with my blankie!
Never too young to get a job. Get the tie!
What fun!
Meet Alexandra and Brandan - very adorable and active twins that came to visit last week.
Alexandra was very happy in front of the camera, smiling away. I think she looks like a little doll in this image.
There were many images of Brandan, but I loved this one. The expression on his face says “I have the phone, and you better not try to take it!”
Here they are sharing a little together time. Below are a few more of my favorites.
Can’t wait to watch you grow!
I have been photographing Matthew for a few years - before he came this time, he definitely took his cute pills.
He did everything I asked him to, told me all kinds of stories and absolutely melted my heart!
Here he is one minute being the tough guy….and the next laughing his heart out.
Matthew seems to be excited to meet his baby sister due in early December.
I saw a commercial recently where the little boy asks his Mom…how long is she going to stay? …talking about his little sister.
How cute is that? We’ll remind him of these photos one day when he isn’t so happy to have her around! Can’t wait to meet her myself!
This photograph is compliments of one of my favorite little customers - 3 year old Maison McIntyre. We have a deal where I take pictures of her and then she can take a picture of me. The problem is that my camera is so heavy that I have to reach my arm out to hold the camera while she takes it resulting in many photos of my face as close as you can get. Not flattering, but worthy of my blog to say to everyone -
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Enjoy every moment with your family. Be thankful for all the many blessings we share … and don’t forget to take pictures!
Congratulations to Lisa and Chris who are getting married next December. They were so easy-going and calm for this hectic time of year!
I love how well they fit together. Very natural looking I think.
And I love the black and white just as well. The contrast is really great.
But…I wouldn’t be telling the whole story if I didn’t talk about Riley and Rocky. We tried our best to get them to sit together..but I was also happy with their individual portraits.
One big happy family if you ask me!
