Family Photography
These are the ones
…that make me so happy! It’s sessions just like this one that make me giddy! I can really do these types of sessions every day! I just love the dynamic nature of family shoots with toddlers. Yes, it can be challenging (with tantrums and all), but it’s hilarious and absolutely FUN. In this case though, no major tantrums at all! She was a perfect little model
As long as she had a little cuddle time with mommy and daddy…and a little thumb sucking, she was good to go – plus, aren’t thumb sucking shots the cutest?! There was really nothing more I could ask for. We were at a beautiful location, it was nice and cloudy (my giant softbox), parents were gorgeous…and my main subject was a sweet, charming, adorable blue-eyed toddler! No doubt, I had an amazing time photographing this lovely family of three — and what better way to celebrate baby girl’s 2nd birthday than with a photo shoot?! I had an extremely difficult time choosing a few to blog! I’ll definitely be sharing this session in full soon

Just stop it
Juuust stop it! Stop being so darn cute! One is plenty, but two babies with such adorable features. Geez! It’s true that photographing twins is twice the work, but it’s also twice the fun! Especially when you have a loving auntie to help out…These sweeties had the most amazing auntie – she was the best entertainer and smile-maker! They are definitely lucky babies
And, although they’re BOTH just adorable as can be – their personalities couldn’t be any more different – which I loved! But I must say, they also BOTH had the most amazing eyes (with different special qualities). Max has big, bold, beautiful eyes that were a lovely mix of hazels and blues – such a great reflection of his outgoing personality. Mia has pretty, soulful brown eyes and long lashes — there was definitely something in her gaze that caught me…so sweet, gentle and delicate….see for yourself!

All I need
When I’m photographing a family as energetic, fun, beautiful and full of love as this, all I need is an hour – just an hour! Not only did we knock it out super fast, the kids were just so charming, cooperative, willing and excited about being photographed
I had an amazing time hanging out with this great bunch – observing the loving connections they had with each other…what was especially sweet was how big sister looked after and adored her little brother – it was so, so sweet. Here are few faves of the day. The first photo is my favorite, hands down!

It’s no surprise
…..I knew it, totally knew that she was going to be a beautiful one year old! When I photographed her as a newborn, she was the tiniest, sweetest little thing — and now, almost one year later, she’s still sweet – but she is also just gorgeous! Big brown eyes, soft curls, and a cute little smile

Clear as day
It’s clear as day to me why mommy and daddy would want to smooch and cuddle him all the time! Look at his adorable face — and in person, his bubbly laugh is so so contagious
When I first did their maternity session – I knew that when their baby was born, they would loooove and adore him so much…you could just tell by the way they were so in love with each other – that they would be so in love with their baby boy. Which was absolutely true! At their newborn sessions here and here…I got a little glimpse into their world & their new journey as parents. So, I was waay excited to see them again for Sam’s 6 (almost 7) month session….and oh my – Sam was even more handsome that he was when I first met him….In one word, he is just super duper CHARMING

Looking spiffy
Baby it’s cold outside! I just love cold weather. The air is so crisp, so clean – especially after the rain. It’s also a perfect opportunity to accessorize with scarves, jackets, knits & lots of layering. Here are some ideas for family photo sessions with cooler weather in mind. I adore winter clothes!

It’s official
…my socks have been knocked off. I do not know where they are. I lost them at the park last night while photographing this BEAUTIFUL family. But do not fret my amazing blog readers, I have many more pairs just like them and always look forward to having them knocked off!

Updates & Eye Candy
Part one of this post….Oh me oh my! It’s been a wonderfully busy last three months…and now things are winding down as the New Year approaches. I’m finishing up my 2009 sessions. January and February 2010 are booked.
I’m now scheduling for March and beyond. My new 2010 Collections are also available.
Now on to part two! Photos! My blog has been very much neglected for the past week. I will update with recent sessions next week. To make up for it, here’s a full session slideshow to share from this awesome day (press “play” underneath the last image on the left side – it takes a moment to load). I also made lots of updates to my website photo galleries – check it out – you may see some familiar faces
Enjoy – and Happy Friday!

Close to home
…it’s always fun to photograph a boy who is my own son’s age. I think it’s pretty hilarious because some are just like my boy when being photographed. Luckily, I have at least a few tricks up my sleeve to get some giggly shots…photographing little man below definitely hit close to home for me
Oh, but look how cute he is!

The more the merrier
…especially when you have girls as pretty as this family’s. Since you can’t tell from this photo how gorgeous these children are, I have a few follow-ups that will help give you an idea.
