N Family

Here's a session with one of my favorite families!  The session was supposed to focus on little N's 3rd birthday with a "few" family photos, but I'm afraid I took more family photos than birthday photos!  Sorry N!

I love the silliness of each of them.  Although it takes some work to get everyone to look towards the camera all at the same time, (have YOU ever tried balancing an acorn on the top of YOUR head while taking a photo??) the love in this family is so apparent.

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek, N family (which is posted well before midnight, by the way!) LOL

6 month Miss N

What do you get when you put chubby little baby arms, a tutu, and pearls together?  One seriously CUTE little girl!  This was such a fun session!  I last saw Miss N when she was just three months old, and it's always so much fun to see how much they've changed in such a short amount of time!

I have to admit that I did "borrow" the backside photo idea from a photograph I saw online, unfortunately I can no longer remember the name of the photographer to give credit to!  I did have to have one quick shutter finger tho, as Miss N kept toppling over!  :)

We headed out to the nearby park for the rest of the session, where we "braved the wildlife" (gnats, 8-legged creepy crawlies and grasshoppers!)  I'm just hoping I left them all there after shaking out my blankets, and that nothing hitched a ride home with me!

Thanks for the great session and the even better homemade chocolate chip cookies!! :)))

A 10 minute session

A fun, impromptu photo shoot this afternoon while waiting for our playdate friend to arrive.

Shadow and Patches

This weekend we had fun taking care of three of our favorite furry friends.  Aren't they gorgeous?  Pumpkin will get his turn in front of the camera next time!

Newborn Baby E

Meet the beautiful 13 day old Miss E.  She was such a sweetheart - I really enjoyed photographing her!  Notice the cute little button flower headband she's wearing in the basket photo... it was handmade for Miss E by the mom of the twins I recently photographed.  I love it!

Miss M is 4!

I've been photographing this lovely little lady since she was born, and each year she just keeps getting cuter and sweeter!  I can't believe she's turning 4 already!  Happy birthday, Miss M!

Here's a couple of my favorites from yesterday's session.

3 month Miss E

Three months ago I introduced you to newborn Miss E.  Yesterday I had the joy of seeing her again for her 3 month session.  She's changed so much from the little peanut that she was, and was wide awake and happy the whole time.  And with the help of mom and big sister, we were even able to keep her fingers out of her mouth briefly and get a few big smiles too! :))

I've got several favorites again, but here's just a couple of them...

Miss M is One!

This little cutie recently turned one and I had the pleasure to spend yesterday morning with her taking her photos.  Her three big brothers were a great help in getting her to giggle too.  Thanks, boys! :-)  Here's a sneak peek from her session!

Fair + Friends = Fun

Nothing better than a weekend at the fair followed by fun with friends!

StrawberryFest 2012 Fireworks Display

The fireworks team put on another great display at StrawberryFest this year.  These images were all caught using a tripod and the following camera setting:   f/1.8   1.00 s   ISO 100   50 mm


Even the occasional "accident" that happened when I pressed the shutter button too soon, making the lens try to re-focus itself, resulted in pretty designs!
