I spent part of the afternoon with these sisters last Saturday. They come from such a great, close-knit family. I really enjoyed my time with them! I loved the coordinating polka-dots they wore. Here's a sample of the images I caught of the two of them - notice their big, beautiful blue eyes!
I love the interaction with Granddad in this shot!
These adorable brothers (twins) have really precious parents. Their mommy is one of my very favorite people! For years we anticipated the arrival of these special guys and now it is amazing that they are in kindergarten! These boys really have a great bond and when they are around each other their faces brighten. It was so much fun to be able to capture their relationship and to see the unique young men they are becoming. Mom and Dad...you are doing a great job!
My boys are now 5 years old and it has only been recently that I realized how much of their newborn days that I just can't remember with detail. Sure, there was sleep depreivation...lots of that...and all of the trying and precious things that newborns go through. But I really can't remember specifically what they looked like. I didn't think through how significant photos of them would be from their first few weeks and months. I have snap shots, but they really don't do justice to their small forms. They just don't capture the form or detail of a sleeping, curled newborn.
It was about month 5 before I got their first really good images. By month 5 they do not resemble newborns at all. They are still very sweet pictures that I treasure, but they don't capture the nuances of what they looked like as tiny, brand new babies. So, today I just wanted to get on my soapbox and say newborn photos are priceless and there is only a short time in a baby's life to do them....preferably in the first 2-3 weeks. Here's an image from a recent session to bring back some memories!
I honestly don't know why my son's preschool class made "pig hats" for Valentine's Day. I asked, but didn't really get an explnation. One suggestion was that it was because Valentines are pink and so are pigs. Maybe. Regardless, seeing Seth come out of school wearing that giant pig hat and beeming with pride really made my day! So from our house to yours...Happy Valentine's Day! Oink! Oink!
makes me laugh every time...
Cal with his Valentine Castle. A serious fortress for the LOAD of candy...
Luke with his favorite Valentine - notice it is NOT his mommy...
Seven weeks old and SO sleepy...Little Miss H was a perfect model. She's such a beautiful girlie with all of her dark hair. She is definitely at the top of my list of most compliant babies (and clients in general for that matter!). Here are a few images from our session together.
These girls were my very first clients and I just love to work with them. On this shoot we found a "junk store" with lots of treasures in a back lot that made great backdrops. We also found some dandelions which made wonderful treasures. All in all it was a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Here are a few of my favorite images. The girls suddenly look so grown-up!
