He's Back!!

You may recall this spunky little fella from a couple of months ago and this time he brought along both mom and dad. He is easily one of the most hysterical camera friendly kiddos I have ever been around and it makes the time fly by in a really fun way. I mean come on he is winking at the camera!!! How God ever fit so much personality in a little guy his size is beyond me but it is so much fun.

I just love the look on mom's face in this one, it is SO clear how much she adores her husband. Good stuff.

As for me, I am headed out for a weekend of camping with my family cell phone and computer free so if you drop me a note in the next three days you won't hear back from me until at least Monday. I am going unplugged!

A Few More

Just a few more from the session with Bevin and the number one sign you do NOT want to see on a photoshoot....

She's A Natural

I had an awesome Senior session with the beautiful Bevin this weekend and we had a TON of fun (mom too)! She was such a natural and the camera obviously loves her; makes me want to book more senior sessions. I'm only about 1/3 of my way through the session but I just couldn't resist posting some previews for her and I'll probably post some more in a few days.

The Frame

It's A Bird, It's A Plane, It's...

the cutest little superman you ever did see!. I met this little guy over the weekend and he hit the ground running the moment I arrived. I LOVE that his mom let him wear his superman cape throughout the shoot; there is something so special about capturing kids just as they are, cape and all. Those little tiny touches sure add to the moment and the memories. Good call mom!

Boys, boys, boys

I had a blast meeting up with an old friend from church and her sweet little family. She has some of the best behaved boys I have ever been around and we had a lot of fun just hanging out and goofing around. Here are some of the highlights...

Something a little different - Geometry

For the past semester I have been taking a photography course at the local community college just to expose myself to different kinds of photography, new methodology and network with other people interested in photography. My dad, a.k.a. my biggest fan, is notorious for plopping down on my couch and asking to look through my latest stuff. Last night after another request to see my weekly assignment he pushed me to publish my schoolwork on my blog so he could show his sisters. It is a little different than the stuff I normally do so for the next few weeks I will be posting my thematic work on Sundays as a little change of pace.

Geometry

Snuggly Boy

I just absolutely love newborn photography. Something about the sleepy, squishy, wrinkly little babies all curled up in little bundles of fabric just makes my heart go pitter patter. This little guy is the new son of some sweet friends of mine and I am so happy I was able to join them for a little session with their little man. Isn't he just perfect!?!

Busy, Busy

This weekend I met up with a sweet family all the way from Kileen! This little doll of a girl was busy, busy and kept me on my toes but it was so worth it. Isn't she a adorable? Look at those eyes!

Beauty

This weekend I met up with an old friend (28ish years) to do some photos of her and her sweet little Lucy for her annual Christmas cards. Isn't she beautiful?!?

Autumn

This weekend I met up with an old friend from college and her darling family for a family session at the Arboretum. I was so excited when they I saw them walking up in such rich fall colors that I swear it felt like the temperature dropped a degree (momentarily, of course). It was so much fun photographing this adorable newlywed family and their sweet little bundle of joy. Motherhood definitely agrees with Kelli; she is even more beautiful than I remember!

The Making Of A Photograph

I learn something every single time I go to a photoshoot. Every single time. You'd think as much as these boys have been photographed by me that we would have this whole process down to a science by now but the truth is, if the kiddos aren't into what you are trying to do there is no way on earth you are going to get the photo you want. Case in point...

Then I say, "Alright guys, let's try something different" and on the first shot I get this....
