A senior sneak peek

Just a quick sneak peek for Miss “H”! Hope you like them!!

Beautiful family

Hold on to your ovaries ladies… this baby is gorgeous. You’ll see why when you see her beautiful parents in a minute. I have been lucky enough to have taken pictures for this family quite a bit over the last three years. They are wonderful friends and man are their kids cute! Enjoy!

So you’ll noticed that I copied my own shot on this one but I have wanted to use it for a baby since I took it with the pupsters!

At the River

I was lucky enough the other day to shoot one of my friend’s and her boys down by the river. I loved the feel of these and hope that you all do as well!  Happy Friday!

Movement

I know this a weird title for a blog post on a photography blog but stay with me:

I LOVE movement in photographs.  I think it helps add life into images. It can add a sense of whimsy and fun as well! I often get my clients to walk for me, run, jump, and skip. You get the drift. Of course, I usually stick to age appropriate behavior. I don’t tend to get my engaged couples to jump on the bed…. I usually reserve that for the kiddos (side note: I am  not saying that you are too old to bounce once you hit a certain age…I am still quite fond of jumping on the trampoline). I have heard rumors that Bill Gates has a padded trampoline room. Who knows if it is true but it certainly sounds like fun! It especially sounds like fun to a mom of toddlers. Those rainy days can be hard to fill (thank you Cartwheels and Coffee).

Anyway, back on topic:

People sometimes look at me like I am crazy when I ask them to do such things but I love it as much as I love a good hard laugh in photographs (That is another time that I get some crazy looks). When I say “Could you just look at each other and laugh? I know that you are going to feel silly but then you will laugh for real and it will be beautiful.” I am sure that my clients think that I am crazy but it’s all to get you guys comfortable with the camera, to get you comfortable with me and to interact with each other during family or an engagement shoot. Ryan (my brother who second shoots with me) always cringes when I say “Just pretend like you like each other.” Of course, I am joking and it helps lighten the mood. We have to make you all comfortable somehow! Anyway, I hope this preps you for when I am getting you to truck down the street for the 6th time to get the shot!!

You all have a fabulous day!

Here are a few examples:

A sneak peek

I can tell that spring has hit because my portrait season is now in full swing. This and fall are my favorite times to photograph kids. The kids can hang in there a while because it hasn’t gotten too hot yet or too cold. Besides that it is such a great way to spend a beautiful day! I have also gotten to shoot some of the CUTEST babies  lately…. definitely a nice way to get that baby fix:)   I have a bunch of shoots to post and my sites will be getting a much needed update this week so check back!  Here is a little peek from one of my shoots from this week! More Soon!!

Em & Buggy

Here is an outtake from our Valentine’s day this year. We had a great day surrounded by wonderful friends and family. We, also, had the adorable Buggy here to play with the kids all day. I seriously think I need another child at all times to interact with my kids. I was completely amazed at how much easier the day was:)!!!! I adore this image of my baby Em and her best buddy. Hope you like it!

J Man

I have been photographing this little man since he was in his mama’s tummy. It really has been so much fun to get to know them over the last year and see how J has progressed into a beautiful spirited little dude!

I hope that you enjoy the pictures of this sweet little boy!
