Sneak peek… Jen, maternity October 8, 2009

when a family of 3 is becoming a family of 4, the maternity session might be one of the last times for the older sibling to be the only star of the show. i tried to include big sister a lot today and give her lots of attention… and a couple special treats, as well. i know mom and dad will be great at finding special time for both of their princessess once baby girl #2 arrives within a couple of weeks.

i had such a nice time with this family today… i joked with mama that i’ll be asking her if they need photos all the time because i was treated so well. coffee and baked goods upon my arrival and pizza for lunch?? i didn’t want to go home! thanks for being such a great hostess… looking forward to meeting miss M soon!i think if you can still see your toes, you’re doing alright.

Photography…. my boys… October 1, 2009

it’s not often that i share photos of my own boys on this blog, but i can’t help myself, i just love this one too much not to share!

Photography…. hanging with my favorite 2 week old… October 1, 2009

according to my 4 year old, miss S is already super hero worthy. i was packing up some of little brothers clothes and he suggested we give his old superman shirt to her. i said, i don’t know if a cute baby girl would like to wear a superman shirt? to which he replied, “OH! i know what super hero she can be!! wonder… wonder…”… “wonder woman?”, i ask. “YEA!! she should be wonder woman!”. so baby girl, i guess you’ve already been included in our boy world of all things super hero and you can be wonder woman when you come to play at our house.

Photography… beautiful mama-to-be September 28, 2009

I just finished editing this session and sent the mama-to-be her gallery information so she can view her awesome photos. I couldn’t help sharing just a few more with you… I’d LIKE to share the whole session with you, it’s just THAT awesome, but I’ll refrain…

thank goodness for goofy kids… September 27, 2009

i’ve been feeling like i’ve been spending WAY too much time staring at a computer screen lately. i’m still figuring out how much i can take on before it starts feeling a lot like WORK and not the thing that i LOVE. lucky for me, when i’m sitting in front of of the computer for hours on end after a long day of working, mothering, cleaning, chasing, etc etc, i get to look at faces like this! what a ham!! thank J, for reminding me what i love so much about my job.

Sneak peek… Miss S, 4 days old… September 16, 2009

miss S is very used to hearing my camera clicking away, she’s been hearing it for 9 months already… so it’s old news to her. she just slept like a little angel and let me do my thing. hopefully this is the way it continues since i have a sneaky suspicion i’ll be taking a lot of photos of her over her lifetime. i had such a lovely day with this wee one… she is so calm and peaceful, it would be hard not to feel the same in her presence.

hope you love them so far mom and dad, more to come!

Sneak peek… Mr. E, 7 days old… September 8, 2009

this little guy has the most beautiful, creamy skin i have ever seen! no photoshop needed for this sweet little man (thanks for that, i owe you… i’ll get you an extra big cake for your 1st birthday photo shoot…)!

he wasn’t the sleepiest guy i’ve ever worked with but i whipped out all of my tricks (oh, and a little help from mom… that part i can’t do…) and eventually he conked out for me. i’m so glad because once he was out, he was out and we got some beautiful shots!
can’t wait to see you grow little man… i’m already looking forward to seeing how much you’ve changed at your 6 month shoot!

sometimes you just have to share… September 2, 2009

i couldn’t hold back from sharing this one with you! i’m in the middle of editing this session and came across this sibling shot. love, love, love it. it’s so hard to get a great sibling shot with the 3 and under age group… but i think this is a winner. hope mama thinks so too.

couldn’t resist… September 1, 2009

putting up a couple more of this adorable blue eyed guy. i don’t envy mom and dad having to say no to this little man! i couldn’t do it. sooo stinkin’ cute.

Sneak peek… brothers, Mr. J and Mr. M August 31, 2009

i had two adorable little boys pay me a visit today. one, very willing to sit and ham it up for me… the other, not so much. i did manage to get some of both boys though (miraculously) and hope that next time, mr. j will listen to his mommy and take a nap.
great seeing you shannon and great meeting your handsome boys finally!!
