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!

One Tough Cookie…

April 4, 2008 – 5:41 pm

Meet sweet little Lila – awe, isn’t she a beauty!? Lila was visiting Naples (with her Mommy & Daddy of course). The morning of the session she welcomed me, almost immediately, with a big smile. So I thought to myself, “Self – this is going to be a breeze!” Ha – famous last words! It seemed as though the sight of the camera made that sweet smile disappear. I’d put the camera down, she’d laugh and giggle, I’d pick it up and get this -

Oh yes, it is a perfectly beautiful expression but I knew she had this really cute smile hiding in there and I was determined to catch it. Especially considering the fact that they had traveled to the area and would be heading home soon. At one point Mom leaned over and said, “Grandpa’s going to meet us here, he always makes her laugh.” Well, Grandpa arrived alright – with reinforcements!

Mom emailed this photo to me after our session, do you see the line of people trying to elicit a smile from this one little girl?? Let’s count them shall we? 1..2..3..4..5..6.. I lost count! Surely this crowd could find Lila’s elusive smile and make her giggle with delight.

Picture Day for Lila

Yeah, that’s me, elbows in the dirt, bottom in the air.What a flattering pose eh? Note to self: Must refrain from sticking my fanny in the air in front of clients. Not my best angle to be sure! With her own personal entertainment crew at hand, surely Lila would smile now…

Nope. Not a chance.

So what do you think? Did I ever catch Lila’s sweet smile for Mom and Dad?

Ha, of course I did silly! Was there ever any doubt?

Sneak Peek, Katherine & Matthew

February 11, 2008 – 11:43 pm

I happen to know that the Mommy has been waiting very patiently for her sneak peek so I wanted to pop it up real quick before I call it a night. These two are just so adorable – my biggest challenge is deciding which to showcase on the blog. Mr. & Mrs. B , you’ve got your work cut out for you! ha ha ha

This one totally cracks me up every time I see it!

Sneak Peek, Beach Day

February 8, 2008 – 1:32 pm

I’d take a beach day over a snow day ANYday! Just looking at these makes me want to grab the kids and head for the sand. I’ll share a bunch today, this was an extended family session with three adorable children between the two families.

Not ‘Just Another Day At the Beach”

January 22, 2008 – 8:00 pm

0108schroeter43

I am often asked if I photograph adults. Meaning executives, models, actors, and so on. My response, Yes!! Of course I do! Though my first love and loyalty lies with child photography I do enjoy having the opportunity to work with adult subjects. These sessions give me the opportunity to set scene and plan the next shot as opposed to my child sessions where I am forced to rely on instinct and quick thinking. Both are inspiring and challenging sessions, just very different from each other in the approach and the outcome.

Tonight I’m going to share some images from a recent session with an aspiring actress. Some of the images may be a bit more daring than what you are used to seeing showcased on lifeXpressions, rest assured, images showcased here will always be “G” rated. :)

Sneak Peek, Maddox

November 14, 2007 – 12:00 am

With the holiday sessions completed, it’s time to lock myself in the office with my ex-large cappuccino, freshly loaded ipod, and a little bit of extra padding for the ‘ol desk chair so I can edit those sessions and get them online for you all.

Before I close up shop tonight I wanted to share little Maddox with you all…

1007horrell15

He certainly has grown since the first time I photographed him! Handsome as ever isn’t he?! I had hoped to have his proofs online tonight but considering that it’s almost midnight I think it’s pretty safe to assume I didn’t get as far as I’d planned. So, this little sneak peek is for Maddox’s Mommy & Daddy, hoping it will bring a smile to their faces while they wait for me to put the finishing touches on their proofs.

bite!

Sneak Peek, Avery

Hmm, I’m a tad late posting these so I don’t think I can really call it a “sneak peek” but I still could not resist sharing Avery with you. She looked darling in her Tinkerbell costume which was a perfect match for the location we were shooting in. We were joined by a few feathered friends midway through the session, it was just like something out of a fairytale, magical!

Gosh was it ever hard to pick which images to post for this session, she’s simply adorable in all of them!
