Storyboard


I had a request for a storyboard and I thought I would share it on the blog. This is a great way to display three portraits in one print!

A mother's day session...











Last week I had a session two daughters and their beautiful mother. We had planned a session at the Botanical Gardens but due to the free day at the zoo, this session was at their home. I am in love with the spiral staircase made of stone, BEAUTIFUL. It was almost as beautiful as these girls! I have had so many sessions with little ones lately that I had a great time with teenagers.

Me, in front of the camera!?!













Cory and I needed to get portraits of each other for our new website (coming in the next few weeks!). We headed down to Morris Avenue for a session with each other. In the last month, our little girl-to-be has really "popped" out of my belly so we did a few maternity while we were there. It was so weird to be on the other side of the camera but fun at the same time. Cory is a talented photographer so I knew he would get some great images. I am very happy with the results!

Sweet sisters in handmade dresses!












This session featured two sisters for the younger sister's 3rd birthday. I was especially excited about this session because the beautiful dress were handmade by their grandmother. I wish I could sew, I am so amazed by the talent showed in these two dresses.




One funny thing from our session, the girls were told if the session went well, they would have a trip to the Home Depot for new flowers. This made the girls very excited and I couldn't help but smile! This is the first time I heard of a bribe to Home Depot!

This family doesn't slow down!










I had a exciting session with a family of three boys a few weeks ago (I am running behind on the blog!). I had to be quick to get these portraits but I really enjoyed getting to know them. I asked the mom if things were always fast in her family and she laughed and said "yes". The best part about this family is the mom and dad just ran with them. We had a session of hide and seek and exploring the woods. It was great! The best part, one brother brought me flowers when I snapped the portrait above. Boys melt my heart!

Sweet Brothers!














This family has the most beautiful eyes! The youngest son is only 8 weeks old and steals my heart away! Big brother was full of energy and so much fun. I asked big brother to look in my lens and tell me what he saw and he commented, "it's a spider-bug!". I had no idea!

Easter Best!









You may notice these beautiful faces from last year. The family signed up for a repeat session from last spring. I love when clients book again because it gives me a chance to see how much they've grown in the last year and I get to hang out with great kids! We booked this session after Easter so their dresses and suit would not get dirty. I think that is a great idea! I am so in love with the close up of the middle daughter. Her expression and the wind blowing her hair just takes my breath away! And check out the new teeth from the oldest son! He was very proud and so am I! How they have grown in just a year!

Cousins!












Check out these beauties! The older girls are sisters and the adorable baby is their cousin. This baby was so full of smiles. The sisters we so sweet with each other. I love the beautiful freckles. Everything just went right on this session and I am in love with the portraits! I did talk the mom of baby into joining in on the fun and I am so glad she did!
