Tweens and Teens

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

tween - n.
A child between middle childhood and adolesence, usually between 8 and 12 years old

I get the opportunity to photograph hundreds of newborns, babies, and toddlers each year. I’ve noticed that after toddler-hood photo sessions become less frequent. Lives get real busy with school, sports and other activities. But these years are just as formative as the baby years. That’s why I was so happy when mom contacted me to photograph ‘S’ and ‘A’. With older children, you can communicate your vision, and really take the time to compose a shot.

Gorgeous sister ‘A’

And ‘S’, a very talented guitarist


Playing with some different processing and a background blend.

It was really neat to discover that ‘S’ had the same guitar teacher as my husband did 20 years ago. It’s a small world!


Wonderfully made

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

This beautiful verse always comes to mind when I photograph newborns:

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Documenting these perfect little people always humbles me.

This is almost 3-week old ‘I’. He was a total gem. He started out awake, and completely content, then drifted off to sleep.

Ah, a sweet little smile…




Another smile!


Beautiful fall light

Friday, October 17th, 2008
Can I just be the first to say ‘hallelujah’ that Fall is here! I love this season. The cooler temperatures and beautiful light make my job even *more* enjoyable.
I had the best time with this family. The girls, ‘H’ and ‘M’ are so sweet. And you have GOT to love when a session ends with big hugs. I have had a run of such beautiful little girlies here lately!

Sassy!

I love the silliness here!


I loved setting up this shot…and the outcome cracks me up! ;)

Things are real busy around here and my blogging may be scarce here in the next several days. I will try my best to get all of my sessions blogged. I thank everyone for their patience with me during my busiest season. I am so very lucky to be able to photograph so many beautiful families!

My session with this little beauty was chock full of activities. We read Disney Princess books (she LOVES Belle), set up a tea party, played in her cute little clubhouse and lounged on the the hammock. She was such a joy to photograph. Since I have a boy, I don’t get to experience doing ‘girlie’ things, so it’s fun to do that with my little clients!

Isn’t she stunning???




A session after the rain

Monday, October 13th, 2008

Twins ‘A’ and ‘T’ have been coming to me since they were about 5 weeks old. I last photographed them before they were mobile. Well, here they are now 16-months old and very busy. I commented to Mom how they were like two ships passing in the night…catching them together is tough! They each have their own exploring to do! ;)





I loved their interaction with Mom and Dad.


Long time, no post!

Thursday, May 1st, 2008
It’s been awhile since my last post, so I have lots of sneak peeks to share with you! Here we go…

I have photographed these sweet kiddos 2 other times and they are always so fun to spend time with. Miss ‘MM’ came ready for the session dressed in her best fairy finery! So fun!


Here’s little brother ‘H’.

Sure it’s not the typical sibling shot, but I love the feeling of this image.

I last photographed ‘H’ at 3 months. He has grown so much, and if possible, gotten even CUTER! He looked like a little angel in my carriage!

I met up with the awesome ‘M’ family last weekend. I love capturing those unscripted, sweet moments like the one below for families.

Isn’t mom just beautiful…beaming at her little girl.


I took my little guy out to take in the last of the beautiful color from the mustard fields. So sad it’s gone now :(

Meet adorable little ‘T’. My youngest newborn to date, coming in at 9 days old. He was such an angel. He slept the entire session, allowing me to do what I pleased. I love trying to recreate womb positions. You can just imagine how nestled he was in mom’s belly!

1 year-old doll

Little Miss ‘E’ just turned one. She was such a doll. I loved all of her looks…from serious to smilie. I love capturing that range of emotion!

Sweet Sisters

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

I love seeing the bond between siblings. There was nothing but love between these two during our session. It was so sweet! And I loved E & C’s matching princess dresses–so girlie!
