Introducing Kevin {Then & Now}

May 28, 2008 – 11:35 am

I first had the opportunity to work with Kevin when he was just a little tot, not quite big enough to walk on his own down the beach. He’s certainly come a long way. Spunky, sweet, and a totally adorable, this little guy will completely steal your heart.

Here is Kevin {then} as published in The Big Book of Babies:

We asked Kevin and his Mom to answer a few questions for the blog, I’ll include some of their answers below. :)

What is your favorite weekend activity?

{Answered by Kevin} “I like to go to the driving range with my Dad!”

What is the coolest toy in your house right now?

{Answered by Kevin} “A Truck! That could be any one of a thousand we have.” {Ad Lib by Mom}

Photographs: Classic, timeless…BLACK & WHITE or bold, breathtaking…COLOR?

“Kevin has the most amazing blue eyes - I can’t help but love to see them in color!”

Finish this statement… One thing I hope to never forget…

“How happy my children are to see me every morning and whenever we’ve been apart, and how happy I am to see them too.”

What are you looking most forward to in the coming year?

“{Answered by Kevin} Pirate Camp! - Mom is looking forward to a successful heart surgery of her best friend on April 10th. I will be glad when that is over. She is 35 years old with two small children.”

Note from Terrilyn … your friend and her family are in my prayers. Please feel free to reply to your post and update us. I hope her surgery was a success!

How do you pass the time on those long family trips?

“I Spy! Kevin always spys something orange - his current favorite color.”

What do you love about lifeXpressions? { Hey, you know you would ask too! }.

“Terrilyn! Your talent is amazing. I can’t tell you how many people walk in my house and are “blown away” by your art! You are a beautiful person and my family is lucky to have met you and I hope you will watch my family grow for many, many years. You are a very special part of our lives - thank you for everything - and always being - Just You…Wonderful!”

Note from Terrilyn: You guys are pretty wonderful too! Thank you for your sweet, sweet words. wub.gif

Sneak Peek, Sophia & Jack {Then & Now}

May 14, 2008 – 10:51 pm

Just a few of this adorable twosome before I log off tonight - Sophia is one of my Big Book of Babies stars, at the time she was about the same age as her baby brother today. This family is one of my out of state clients so they were unable to attend the recent Big Book of Babies promotional sessions. Instead, I’ll have to improvise just a little bit…

Here is Sophia {Then}…

…and here is sweet Sophia {Now}

Just a few more, I certainly can’t post Sophia’s photos without sharing a few of her new baby brother, Jack. He was such a little charmer. It might seem hard to believe from the smile on his face but little Jack wasn’t quite sure if he liked the sand which did make things a bit of a challenge. But, in the end, everything came together wonderfully! I hope Mom and Dad enjoy their sneak peek, the best is yet to come!

The Big Book of Babies {Then & Now}

April 26, 2008 – 1:12 pm

Now is the time to stay tuned to the innerXpressions blog! Recently I had the opportunity to meet up with several of the children featured in the book. Several of them are regular clients whom I’ve had the opportunity to photograph several times over the last few years, others I haven’t seen in years! It was so much fun spending time with them and seeing how much they’d changed since we last met!

To celebrate the release of The Big Book of Babies, each week I will be featuring a child from the book right here on the innerXpressions blog. To keep it interesting, the families were each given a few questions on a variety of topics; from tips for traveling with children to the coolest tot spots in Southwest Florida! I’ll be featuring some of their answers along side their child’s {Then & Now} images. If you haven’t already, now would be a fantastic time to sign up for the innerXpressions mailing list, then you’ll be sure to catch all of those adorable Big Book of Babies Stars!

Exciting News!

February 8, 2008 – 2:31 pm

Last winter I was contacted by a photo editor working with JC Suares. Mr. Suares was working on his newest book and had assigned the photo editor the task of locating adorable images of babies under two years old to present to the editors in New York. She landed on the lifeXpressions website and liked what she saw of my work. She then contacted me to see if I would be interested in having some of my images published in The Big Book of Babies. It has been a long process for everyone involved and I have to tell you, I have been on pins and needles waiting for the opportunity to publicly announce this exciting news. Well, that day has arrived!! I am extremely honored (and very excited!!) to announce 26 of my images will be published in The Big Book of Babies.

JC Suares previously released The Big Book of Dogs, The Big Book of Cats and The Big Book of Horses. His latest project, The Big Book of Babies, is expected to be released on March 18, 2008. This coffee table book will contain more than 230 black and white photographs showcasing the wonder and joy of babies’ first years. The book is being released by Random House and will be available in all major bookstores and well as with online retailers.

lifeXpressions Featured!

May 8, 2007 – 11:29 am

Ees_0507_pg1

I have to tell you that I was completely shocked when first contacted by Nancy Kevorkian of Ever Seen Style Magazine. She mentioned that she was doing a story on lifeXpressions for their May issue and wanted to ask me a few questions. To be completely honest, my initial reaction was, “Is this a joke?” I thought perhaps someone was playing a little game with me (my family has a very strange sense of humor). She went on to tell me about Ever Seen Magazine and how they strive to showcase the very best of our area. I am so honored that they considered lifeXpressions worthy of placement in that category.

I have to say, looking at my beautiful clients selected to be featured in the article, who would not want to line the pages of their magazine with such gorgeous children? After all, you are the stars of the show. The beautiful faces and playful expressions are yours alone. I am merely the quite observer behind the camera who is eternally grateful to be able to share these special moments with your family. So thank you Ever Seen Magazine for the glowing review of lifeXpressions and thank you to my wonderful clients both locally and nationally who open your hearts to the lifeXpressions experience, I am truly honored. :)

You can view a pdf version of the complete article here. I highly recommend you check your news stands for a copy of the complete magazine I’ve placed it on my “must have” list for local information and entertainment news.
