Shhhhh, Sneak Peek on the down low…

Is that how the cool kids say it? Okay, I freely admit I haven’t been a ‘cool kid’ in quite a few years but what I do know is that I have one very excited Meema and Mommy waiting for this sneak peek that also happens to be a surprise for a certain unsuspecting Daddy waiting back home in the Big Apple. Ya see, Mom and Dad are both brilliant artists in N.Y.C. - yeah no pressure there :lol: Mommy is hoping to surprise Daddy with some wonderful photos of their adorable little man for the holidays. So….can ya keep a secret?? Great, I thought so! :D

Without further ado I introduce to you one most adorable little guys I’ve met thus far. His name is Luther and he has the such a sweet gentle soul you can’t help but fall in love with him instantly. :)

Don’t ya just love that last one? I think he’s practicing for trick or treat time! ;)

Rain or Shine…

The Slices of Life Mini Sessions will go on - and by golly we’ll have fun doing it! Ya gotta love a well prepared Dad! Kudos to Lilly’s Daddy for having the foresight to bring along some fun rain gear and the laid back attitude to make it all just ‘work’ regardless! Lilly’s Mommy is out of town at the moment and I know just how hard it is to be away from your little one so I’m hoping this sneak peek will bring a smile to her face.

I have many more families and photos to share and I promise, more sneak peeks from the Slices of Life sessions very soon! This unusually icky weather backed up my sessions just a tad and I’ve got an early start on the beach tomorrow so this photographer must take time to recharge her batteries before a crazy busy week. However, I do want to take a moment to say thank you to all the wonderful families who made their way out in the rain and humidity to keep me company today, you are all AMAZING, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Stay tuned for your sneak peeks…..

Nite all!

A Session at the park with Saylor

Saylor has to be one of the most expressive one year olds I’ve seen in a long time! This little angel has the best personality, so happy and easy going. She reminds me of my own daughter with her thin blonde hair, huge blue eyes and that adorable ‘laugh until you scream’ smile. I don’t think I’ll ever forget her newborn session when Mom lifted her up to look into her eyes and little Saylor decided to latch on to her nose! ha ha ha No surprise to see she’s just as much fun at one! She had us giggling at her antics through most of the session. Better watch out Dad, between her beautiful baby blues, that precious pout that melts your heart, and her sparkling personality I think you’re going to have your hands full in a few years! ;)

Okay, it’s seriously hard to pick favorites from this session to share on the blog, I think they’re all my favorites! Yikes. I don’t envy you’re job Mom & Dad. Not my fault your daughter is adorable. Nope. That’s all your doing. ha ha

Now available for pool parties!

Ha ha ha, ok, not really but I do love working with creative parents who aren’t afraid to step out of the box when it comes to their family portraits. With two tots under 3 years old I’m betting Mom is used to having to improvise to make things work. Totally worth the effort, in fact, I often feel like it’s those fantastic ‘every day’ moments that just happen during your session that make the most memorable images.

Meet Brandon (3 yrs) and Chloe (1 yr), two gorgeous little children with boundless amounts of energy. While we did capture some adorable more ‘planned’ images during this session, without a doubt my absolute favorites are the images I was able to capture after the children thought “picture day” was over. They put on their swimsuits and totally let loose in the water.

One thought comes to mind as I proof these images - they capture what’s real. Real life with two toddlers isn’t peaceful, it isn’t clean, they don’t usually do what you want them to do when you want them to do it. That’s ok!! Enjoy their spunky little personalities! I hope that when the dust settles (say in about 18 or 20 years -ha ha ha) Mom & Dad will look back at the images captured remembering the chaos. Then, as they look up at each other, they’ll smile with pride because they survived! ;)

Sneak Peek, Kennedy & Kinsley visit Centennial Park

I’ve got to run to an appointment in just a few so this will be a quick sneak peek but I couldn’t not post a few before heading out. Seriously - could these two be any cuter? They both had the most a.m.a.z.i.n.g blue eyes and big beautiful smiles. I am seriously impressed with Mom’s ability to keep bouncing along entertaining the girls between locations, girl, you have some serious energy! ha ha

Proofs will be along very soon Mom! :)

Sneak Peek, Colt

Playing catch up just a bit. I was so excited when his Mom called wondering if I was willing to travel North a bit to photograph her son and their horses. Um, let’s see, horses, farm, new surroundings? Yep, I’m all over that! :)

I always mention to clients that they should be prepared to be included in some of the images, even if it’s not a “family session”. While the main goal of the Standard Session is to focus on the little ones - my goal is always to capture endearing moments as they happen. This sweet and playful shot of Cole and his Mommy was the result of one of those images. The smile on her face says it all to me. She is beaming with love for her little cowboy. THAT is what it’s all about!
