Sneak Peek, Logan

The beach at sunset + handsome young man + rockin’ tunes being played while I’m shooting =  one totally inspiring creative high for me!! Thanks for such a fabulous session Logan!

Just one more, we had to stand in the rain for this series. Mom holding my reflector over my head to shield the camera. *giggle* Seems to be the way these evening sessions go this time of year. That’s ok with me though, I just love those stormy blue skies behind him. Yeah, I think it was worth it.

Redecorating?

You may have noticed the blog posting has slowed down a bit in the last week. I promise, my reasons were valid. I’ve been in high gear trying to finish up the long.drawn.out.redesign of the lifexpressions website - yep - I’ve let the cat out of the bag now, we have a new website!! Can ya tell I’m a little excited?? This is simply phase one of the many plans I have in store as lifeXpressions celebrates it’s 5 year anniversary. Stay tuned for updates, {hint: subscribe to our feed if you haven’t already} I see a bright future ahead and I am really looking forward to sharing it with you all!

So what are you waiting for?!! Have a look at the new improved lifexpressions website and let me know what you think! I hope that you all will love it as much as I do! You still here?? Go!! Like now people!! :mrgreen: :lol:

Featured Session: Naples Beach Family Session

Let’s call this a trial run of a possible new feature to the innerXpressions blog. My goal is to be able to share more than just an image or two but rather to give blog viewers a real taste of what a lifeXpressions session is like. Personally, I prefer the quality of the slideshows I create for my clients for long-term enjoyment since the color accuracy is more realistic and the images don’t move quite so rapidly but this little animated ’snip’ is pretty adorable in it’s own right. :)

I posted a few images from this little guy’s session on the blog toward the end of July and, well, since the whole family is just so darned cute anyway I decided they would be the perfect family to kick us off. Please feel free to leave your thoughts on the video and the concept of future ‘featured sessions’. I am always open to feedback! Now I must get ready for a special evening out with my guy. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

 

Introducing Sydney {Then & Now}

Sydney and her family are very special to me. I first met Sydney in ‘06 and I knew then and there I had met a very special family. Their love for Sydney, and each other, was evident. I felt privileged to have been welcomed into their lives. I’ve since photographed little Sydney on numerous occasions and was honored with the opportunity to photograph their newest daughter Sienna shortly after her arrival…I’ve been included in so many magical moments for this family it seems only natural that their images would be among those to grace the pages of The Big Book of Babies.

Allow me to introduce to you…

Sydney {then} as published in The Big Book of Babies:

While I wish I could say I have more recent {now} photos of Sydney, her family has since moved to North Carolina which has limited our time together some what. To get a little peek of how adorable Sydney is now (and to meet her adorable sister Sienna) you’ll need to pop over to my post featuring their visit back to the sunshine state last Janurary. Beyond that, well, you’ll have to check back to the blog in a few months when they make their way back to Florida for our annual session.

We asked Sydney’s Mom to answer a few questions for the blog, here’s what she had to say…

What is your favorite weekend activity to do with the family?

“I honestly love a day at home with the girls where we can just play together on our own schedule. Having to get out the door with two little ones can sometimes be a stressful task.”

The most requested toy in my house right now is…

“Whatever the baby is playing with! Somehow that item magically becomes very interesting to Sydney as well.”

One thing I hope to never forget is…

“how my girls smell after their bath.”

If there were 25 hours in a day, I would spend that extra hour…

“Playing with Sydney & Sienna of course!”

What I’m most looking forward to in 2008…

“Hopefully working a few things out with my business so I can spend more time with the girls”

(Check out their adorable new children’s clothing line; www.fliggity.com!)

What do you love about lifeXpressions? (Hey, you know you would ask too!)

“I seriously love the creativity and the quality of the pictures - I don’t know what your ’secret’ is but I can’t find anything like it here in Charlotte!”"

Sneak Peek, Brianna

I showcased Brianna’s big brother Dominic earlier so I figured what better time to share a few of his equally adorable little sister. The images below are from our session together last week in honor of Brianna’s 2nd birthday. Hard to believe this big ball of energy fit so perfectly in the palms of her Daddy’s hands not all that long ago. Brianna, you’ve come a long way baby! Isn’t she positively adorable?!

Oh the shot on the left, that’s her pout. *snicker* Well, that was her face about two seconds after her pout. Yeah. She’s pretty darn cute!!
