Special bond between a Papa and a grandchild!

I was asked to photograph a grandchild and her special Papa the other day. It was such a special photo shoot as I had never done one before. As soon as I walked in the room I could feel the love that was between these two special people. As I was capturing them play by reading stories, playing Legos, the piano and singing together the glow was all over! I love when all I have to do is click the camera and never say a word! Its so amazing to see someone so little look up to someone so much. I am glad that I was there to witness the special bond and pretty sure it reflects in the pictures.

The A Family

Being a photographer always makes Christmas season so much fun. I mean who doesn't love Christmas anyway! However, I get pretty busy doing family photos for Christmas cards around Oct and Nov. The Almond family is a wonderful family and I love seeing them show there love with one another. One of my favorite sayings when I do couples is now pretend you love each other. Well this always gets them to laugh and smile and then true emotions come out. On top of a beautiful couple, there son is adorable!

Preschool Photographer- Love to Learn

A few weeks back I was asked to do the school pictures for my daughters preschool. The AM class was all boys and boy did I have my hands full. They all wanted to have their picture taken but trying to get a good "smile mommy would like" out of them was rough! However, I managed to do so. They all turned out so great.. The PM class was completely opposite, all girls! They were my little princess, total hams in front of the camera and loved every minute of it. My original thought was to just pick out the best pose and print that for the parents. However, after looking through them I had taken way to many cute ones and I couldn't pick. I then left it up to the parents. Every single mom was so happy and I felt so good! I had never done big group sittings and especially with four year old I had no clue what I was going to be getting into. After the day was over and the results were in I was so pleased with everything and would love to get a few more under me!! So much fun and such beautiful children!

Maternity- Beautiful fall, lovely belly, and gorgeous mom & family

I love the glow that I see on moms who are expecting. Being able to capture that is just a wonderful feeling. I even love it more when I can take away a mom for a few hours and make her feel like she is on top of the world. A lot of times when women are expecting and its getting closer to the end of the pregnancy they tend to not see that glow anymore. I had the pleasure of taking the W family and belly photos and they just turned out great! I love that I was really able to get who they were as a family, that special bond between a child and a father, the glow on the soon to be mom of two, and the cute little grin of the big brother! This family was so much fun to work with and just an honor to be able to shoot them.

H & J

I love this time of the year, its one of the best times to take photos and use nature as the backdrop! With all the pretty colors all around us it makes perfect pictures. I was able to photograph a family this last weekend and use nature to our advantage. I loved being able to shoot this family as they were so much fun. Being able to play peek a boo, and throw leaves and catch them brought me back to my child hood days. I loved being able to see them smile and laugh so hard! What a great way to be able to spend a Sunday. The couple was perfect and everyone just blended in so well. Thank you H&J for a great time
