I have been so busy lately that I haven’t blogged in a while…ugh:( I’ll be sure to update my blog soon!!!
:Sigh: I can definitely sympathize with you parents out there trying to take amazing photographs of your children. This summer I attempted to do so; and while I did get a handful of good images…it ended up being more stressful than rewarding. Hence why I typically hire out this kind of thing, lol:) Actually, one of my photography friends emailed me a couple months ago asking about our beach portraits and at the time I didn’t have our summer vacation planned. Now I wish I had of hired her this summer because I really could have used a great album called “Summer 2009″ to add to the coffee table.
So I had the pleasure of spending time with 3 out of the 5 kids:) The 2 remaining are teens and have quite the busy life…so, I’ll have to fit my schedule into their busy schedule, lol…
Anyway, the mom of this awesome family is a very special friend of mine. She wanted me to update her children’s portraits for her home to reflect her modern contemporary style with black and white headshots of each of her kiddos. 2 more left to go. Here’s a small sampling of what we got from 3 out of 5.
Sometimes with all the hussle and bussle of work, life, to do lists and more…I forget how incredibly wonderful it is just to be able to spend some quality time alone with my daughter. Just us girls. It’s funny how she now expects me to have the camera in tow when we’re together and today when she was on the swing she reminded me of that by saying, “Put the camera down Mommy”. I had to laugh and get rid of the camera for the moment because I realized that it is about her having fun, right? Then, at just the right moments I managed to get some of these shots and I was so happy to capture the moments of her just being ‘her’…pacifier and all, lol!!! She just melts my heart.
We ended up being surrounded by tons of birds today! Thanks to good ole’ Daddy:) And, I say ‘we’…but, really it was B AND all B! She was leading the entire flock of birds. {Notice the crackers in her hands.}
There were so many birds out today and no people. Probably because it was so cold and cloudy outside. But, my husband had other ideas for us & it created lots of fun for B as she led her flock down the beach.
Here are some of the photos…
