Photogenic

To say that this 9-year-old is photogenic is an understatement. Typically a 9-year-old girl will enjoy having their picture taken...and she was no exception. She had all kinds of ideas for locations and poses. And we had to include her dog, Lucy, in some of them too.

Personality in Pictures

This photo shoot didn't last much longer than an hour but the array of pictures that we got show the many sides to this adorable 3-year-old. I have smiling pictures, thoughtful pictures, playful pictures, hide-n-seek pictures, monster pictures, and sassy pictures. Isn't she too cute?

Family of 3

I think that I could just make this blog about the daily escapades of my 4-year-old, Dennis, I mean Drew the Menace. His teacher -- which happens to be a really good friend of mine -- told me that every time she would say something today that she would hear a slight echo of her words. Really softly...almost like she was hearing things but yet she could hear someone lowly repeating what she had just said. She tried and tried the entire time to figure out who was mimicking her. Finally, she said she just decided she must be going crazy, hearing voices and such:) Anyway, at the end of the day she finally catches Drew doing it. We go to get in the van and I ask him if he was repeating her today. He smiles this huge I'm-so-proud-of-myself smile and answers yes. I ask him why, expecting some great insightful answer. And he says, "Because it's fun."

So, a little while later I relay this to his dad and do you want to know what his reaction was? A hearty laugh and a "Well, that does sound like fun". I wonder where he gets this???? It's a mini dad in the making!


Onto the family of 3 that I photographed last week.

I just love the way this picture turned out. I love mother/daughter pictures and it reminds me of one that my mother-in-law captured of me and Mackenzie at her 2-year-old birthday party. I didn't even know that she was taking it but it shows Mackenzie laying on my shoulder looking straight into the camera. We were both exhausted from her party and it just captured a moment of us time.







And she's a quick little one. This was as she ran by me. The pictures right before and right after were a blur...glad that this one came out.

Sibling #2

I think it's pretty cool that I did newborn shots of her big brother and now her. It's so fun to capture a family as it grows.





Mom brought some flowers to incorporate; little Miss thought it was fun to wiggle them off.

Got the couch back out

The leaves you see in the background is sadly about as good as it gets around here.
Their oldest is a nature buff so the 4th picture down is soooo him.

Senior 2010

It was so nice to work with her. She just smiled and went along with anything. We went to this new urban-y (bear with me...I don't know any other way to describe it)location that I love. I'm sure it will be torn down soon because that seems to be what happens every.single.time I find a new exciting run-down location but I love that we got to use it for some of her shots.
