When we met up for photos I was greeted by the beautiful blonde trio of Mom, Son and Daughter. From the minute that I met this crew I knew we were going to get some amazing photographs. Mom was a dream and helped me get to know her children by playing with bugs and insects and the morning turned out to be perfect.
These two are so beautiful and I loved every minute of spending time with them. From all the wardrobe changes, to the bugs bitting our legs…they were troopers the entire time.
Miss B looks just like her Dad and Mr B looks just like his Mom…but, ever so often you can catch a glimpse of their other parent in their facial expressions. Here are some below.
This summer has been a whirlwind and I’m so behind on my blogging. I just had to put these sweet photographs up today because the families have already viewed their slideshows & I completely forgot about my blog. Shame shame on me!
The day I photographed this family started out early on the water and the sun was already beating down on us at 8:30 in the morning. But, the kiddos were all excited and ready to have fun. And, that’s just what we did. Had fun.
The first family was these two precious girls who have the cutest looks ever. I adore some of the expressions we were able to get on their faces. The oldest sister is one of the most mature little three year olds that I’ve met – to date…and I have a three year old, so I know what I’m talking about. Ha, ha!
Next on the agenda was Miss L with her little blonde hair and soft baby blues. So cute and so spunky!
Can’t you just pinch those little cheeks?
Then, Mr. Handsome T. All boy. And all fun! His expressions when he saw the cat in the yard were adorable!
Little E is about to turn 1 coming soon and he’s quite the little crawler able to quickly grab at just about anything laying in front of him. That helped us be able to capture tons of full movement shots of him as we just let him crawl and play towards his toys & his sweet Mommy. I just love how this little one’s eye’s sparkle and I had to pinch and remind myself to get more that just photos of his eyes, lol:) So, his Mommy helped me from behind with her sweet songs along with mine to the baby guitar sounds of “Quack, Quack”. Guess you had to be there…Here are some that I wanted to share.
Oh, and the last photograph was one that I had to include because there was a lowercase ‘e’ drawn in the sun I saw while photographing…
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.
Can you believe this little munchkin gets around at only a year old? Well, neither could I. Mom said he started walking at 11 months and he’s been running ever since:) The session began with lots of smiles from Baby C and his mother informed me of his constant perma-smile…I could only think he was a photographers dream.
As I’m writing this post, I’m delighted by the scent of Charleston…a precious gift by the mother from today’s session. “Charleston” – a floral scent and Archipelago candle. So, I’ve now dimmed the lights in my digital darkroom. The candle is lit and I’m breathing in the aroma while reminescing the smell from the flowers of earlier today. Ahhhh. (Sigh).
This mother is going to be waiting on pins and needles to get these images back. Why? Well, wouldn’t you if these were your two little princesses? Both gorgeous. Both curious. Both a parent’s dream. Yet uniquely different. And, we captured this in so many of our images.
It was ‘Pure Joy’ to be part of the memories created today on May 2nd.
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…
