Introducing Jack {Then & Now}

August 20, 2008 – 7:00 am

I can say I’ve know Jack since before he was born. ;)

I first met Jack’s Mommy and Daddy a little more than a year ago now for their New Beginnings Session. Their image showcased in The Big Book of Babies was a result of their subsequent newborn session. Jack is a big brother now and just bursting with energy, evidence included below for your viewing pleasure. ;)

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

What are your child’s favorite books to read?

“Anything with airplanes or boats.”

Where do you shop for women’s clothing, you know, the kind of clothes that make you feel wonderful and don’t scream “teenager” or “mom”?

“Macy’s Dillards, Banana Republic, Saks Off 5th Ave, Puddy ‘n Pearl, and Mollie Montgomery for traditional items”

ha ha ha I think I’ve finally found someone who likes to shop as much as I do. Good taste too, hm, maybe I’ve found a new shopping buddy! ;)

Photographs are important to me because…

“They document memories, windows into our pasts - where we’ve been, who we were with, what we were doing, expressions…”

My favorite little escape from parenting is…

“A night out with my husband - to enjoy a nice dinner and each other over a glass bottle of wine in peace and quiet.”

Do you have any special plans for this summer?

“Going to a Buffett concert for sure!”

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

“Your ability to capture the ‘everyday’ shots and turn them into something beautiful that sends sparks to your heart and will be cherished forever! :) THANK YOU!!”

Introducing Aidan & Ashton {Then and Now}

August 13, 2008 – 7:00 am

Two totally adorable toddlers - yep TWINS! I always loved the thought of having twins, even though my own chance of ever having twins rested somewhere between zero and ziltch. ha ha Well, let me tell ya, when I left their home after our session together I walked away with a new appreciation for what parents of multiples must go through on a daily basis. My hats off to you guys, that is seriously tiring work!

Allow me to introduce to you…

and here are Aidan & Ashton {now}:

So cute! They were just as fun (and just as tiring) as when I first met them two years before! Thanks for coming out to play with my guys, I hope I’ll see you both again very soon! :)

Introducing Juliana {Then & Now}

June 11, 2008 – 6:12 pm

I first had the opportunity Juliana more than two years ago now. She was an adorable, spunky, little princess with her own pink jeep and beautiful jewels, a complete doll baby! She’s grown a lot over the last few years but, I’m sure you’ll agree, she is as precious as ever! Thank you for coming to play with me again Juliana!

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

What a beautiful little princess she’s become!

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

What are your child’s favorite books to read?

“Anything Dr. Suess - Lately it’s been In a People House and The Foot Book.”

Where do you shop for women’s clothing, you know, the kind of clothes that make you feel wonderful and don’t scream “teenager” or “mom”?

“Do those places exist? :) I guess my favorites are Macy’s and Victoria’s Secret Online/Catalog”

Photographs are important to me because…

“they tell a story and capture the essence of the moment.”

We are always trying to feed our children healthy snacks, the trick seems to be getting them to eat them! What are your child’s favorite healthy snacks?

“Fruits and vegetables - i.e. grapes, tomatoes, apples, carrots”

My favorite local park is…

“Estero Community Park.”

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

“You! I also love your passion for what you do. I love how you make a client feel good about themselves - i.e. blogs, posting their photos on your website. Thanks for all you do for our children.”

Note from Terrilyn: You know, getting to know your child’s unique little personality, and being able to capture a little piece of their spirit - something that you’ll be able to look back on long after she’s all grown up - well, that really is my pleasure. I am truly honored when a parent chooses me to capture these moments for them, thank you!

Introducing Paisley {Then & Now}

June 5, 2008 – 3:28 pm

I first had the opportunity to work with Paisley when she was just a few days old. As a member of the Just One Year program she’s become a fairly regular star here on the blog. Now at a year old she just recently graduated from the JOY program, I have to say, I am going to miss our regular play dates. It has been so much fun watching her blossom into this beautiful, playful little lady and Mom always has the CUTEST outfits for her!

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

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

What is your favorite children’s boutique?

“Children’s Couture, Fort Myers”

Photographs are important to me because…

“They Capture the moment that is gone in the blink of an eye. My baby is only as small as she is today. Tomorrow she will be bigger.”

A night out with the children? It can be done! What is your favorite child-friendly restaurant?

“First Watch - We get a cool placemat, crayons, and our very own cup. Of course the pancakes are our favorite! Mimi’s Cafe’ is great too. Their kids meal comes with oreo dirt dessert complete with worms! (Gummy ones, of course!)”

Mom’s need TLC too, where do you go to be pampered?

“Spada, Fort Myers”

Often family traditions are handed down through the years, others we start ourselves. What are your favorite family traditions?

“Family dinners, letters from Santa, church on Sundays. A very specific one, we save our Christmas cards & every night at dinner during our blessing we say a prayer for family.”

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

“Aside from Terrilyn being an outstanding photographer ( she really captures the everyday love). I really think lifeXpressions is a first class operation. I love the little things: the Christmas ornament, the accordion mini books, the stuffed dog goodie-bag she brought to the promotional mini sessions, even the cute tissue paper that comes in the photo boxes. My husband jokes that you are like chocolate - once you get a little you just can’t stop!!”

Note from Terrilyn: Alright, that seriously has to be the BEST compliment I’ve ever received - comparing me to chocolate - ha ha ha I love it!! Thank you for your sweet, sweet words. I can’t wait to see you all again!
