Just getting this gallery out and I just love this series. I LOVE the little belly and the adorable look he has. He was having such a great time kicking and stomping in the leaves with this favorite boots. Having an almost 2 year old myself (with that same adorable tummy) it just touches my heart. Could he be any cuter??
I am so lucky, I get to photography some of the most beautiful children and these three are no exception. Their mom and I go way back but sadly they live out of town now so I was so excited and honored they asked me to photograph their children. Plus, as an added bonus, it gave us a chance to catch up!
So let me introduce the L family! For some reason I always go oldest to youngest so…
Mr M - he reminds me so much of his dad
The the goofball, Mr C.
and little G at just two and a half. Just a doll…
and with her beautiful mom
and one more because I know Mrs L is excited to see it. I love family pictures like this, it captures how fun and happy this family is. And, yes there are two kids completely off the ground!
Thanks so much for the wonderful day and sharing your beautiful children with me!
How is this for timeliness on Mrs P’s part….most people plan for around their kid’s birthdays +/- a month or two. This little guy’s session was on his 2nd birthday! So in honor of your b-day buddy, here’s your sneak peek!
Because you know I love those eyes!
and there was something about his expression and his stance in this one that made me go “awe”
don’t you just love how toddlers walk?
and one of the family as well!
It was great meeting you! Hope you have a great 2nd birthday W!!
You’re probably saying “what?”. Well, photographers sometimes will start a game of tag on each others blogs. I was tagged by two very talented photographers, Melanie Reyes and Luz Platzer . Check them out!
The rules are posted below along with my response.
RULES:
1. Link the person who tagged you
2. Mention the rules on your blog
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them & leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they have been tagged.
6 things you may not know about me ….
1) I’m a huge planner. I have spreadsheets for everything and most of our vacations are planned at least a year in advance.
2) Speaking of vacations, I LOVE to travel. Ben’s passport picture was taken when he was 3 weeks old. We try to take at least 2 trips a year and it’s our Christmas present between my husband and me. We live pretty hectic lives, like most people, and I treasure the relaxation and family time.
3) When I was a kid, I sucked my lower lip. I still do it everyonce in a while if I’m concentrating really hard.
4) Between my junior and senior year in college I was a nanny for 3 kids in the Hamptons on Long Island. Ever read The Nanny Diaries?
5) The first time I met my husband I kinda blew him off…two years later I asked him out.
6) I’m horrible with names. Half the time I can’t get my own kids names right! J/K but it drives me nuts.
Now I get to tag a few more awesome photographers to join in the game! Check them out!

These three were some of the sweetest, most well behaved kids I’ve met. (I’m sure the bribes helped a bit too!)
I love this one of all of them together. They were so cute together, such good friends and of course very silly!
Meet Miss E. Doesn’t she have the most beautiful eyes? And I can’t resist a little backlighting.
And Mr E. I wish I could post every shot, he was such a ham!
and then finally, the youngest. One word…angelic.
and just one more….a favorite
Thanks so much for the wonderful session! Hope you enjoyed your well deserved doughnuts!
While I’m posting, I just had to share a few more of this little guy from last week…
Cute, cute, cute!
This little guy was the sweetest thing. He was 3 weeks old so I warned mom that we may not get a lot of sleepy shots. Boy, did he prove me wrong. Check out how cute this little guy is…I love this pose, he’ll still be sleeping like this at 2!
and his big sister…you have to love those cheeks. Dad owns a landscape design company and this yard was a photographer’s heaven. You’d have to see the whole gallery to really appreciate the talent this dad has but all I can say is my jaw dropped when I drove up.
It was wonderful meeting you! I’ll be in touch with your full gallery!
Well, as anyone local or even anyone in the Midwest knows…it rained and rained and rained today. But luckily, it let up just for a few minutes to get some fun shots of the J family. You may recognize the older two from the website. I did a maternity session just before Little B was born. Now as you can see this easy going, smiley little guy fits right into the family.
And the middle child, 4 yr old B was all smiles!! Mr and Mrs J are going to have a tough time picking a favorite.
And the oldest (and not that old at 6) but every once in a while you take a picture of a child (normally the more serious ones) that gives you a glimpse of what they may look like years from now.
And this is what I call an outtake (those shots that don’t make it into the final gallery…although I may include this one just because it cracks me up!). We switched locations, so I was metering and doing a test shot. When I downloaded this picture, this is how my test shot turned out…
Oh, here’s the shot I was going for. I normally have a preference on an image for b&w or color…on this one I couldn’t decide. Which do you like?
The timeless black and white?
or color? Seriously, could they get any cuter?
Thanks again J family! Glad we braved the weather!
We were so lucky to spend a gorgeous Labor Day weekend with family on Gull Lake. The kids had a blast with their cousins and the adults did too! So during one of those beautiful sunsets, I took out the camera to catch a few fun silhouettes of the kids being kids. I actually had forgotten about these until tonight. There is something about silhouettes that I just love.
Showing his muscles
Practicing her dance routine
and my little one. She’s normally going a million miles an hour but even she stopped to soak up the beautiful scene.
Thanks again for the invite and great weekend!
Adorable is the first thing that comes to mind when I met this little guy a few days ago. Little B has the most gorgeous eyes and the most beautiful rich brown hair. I can only image what this little guy is going to look like a few years from now. A heart breaker for sure.
all curled up
and a new little hat
It was great seeing you again and meeting little B!!
