[I am still behind again on posting, probably by a good week. Sorry about that!]
Miss Vanessa turned the BIG ONE a couple weeks ago. Such a cutie pa-tootie - worked with us through some family images, suffered (ha ha!) through hugs and kisses from big brother & sister and breezed through the finale with a gorgeous red holiday dress!
Some of my faves…
It’s been nearly a year since I’ve seen this brotherly duo and MY how things have changed! Ian is still a fun loving older brother but Brayden is really working to make his mark on the world!
Ian is getting ready to celebrate his 4th birthday! He was very adamant to remind me, though, that he is STILL only 3! I love his serious look in this one..
But in less than 15 seconds he was all smiles and giggles…
Little brother wasn’t shy about ANYTHING. Thankfully he sat still for about 2 minutes and let me fire off a rapid series of shots..
I think there are some teeth coming in there somewhere as he REALLY liked chewing on his fingers… well, that and crawling/walking over to me to take a look at my camera. Oh, I need to mention - he took his FIRST STEPS in my studio! I feel honored that he saved them to show me! 
Here they are together… I think one is a mirror image of Dad and the other a copy of Mom!
It’s been two years since I’ve photographed the K family, but I have to say that the kids are just as fun as ever - it was truly a delightful session and I had a ton of fun.
This little gal is the lucky one - definitely the center of the universe for her Grandma, Mom, Dad and Aunt & Uncle. Grandma commissioned a session to capture the family all together before 1/2 of them (Baby L, Mom, Dad & Uncle) moved to Ohio. I have a feeling Grandma & Aunt are going to be earning a lot of frequent flier miles!
If you count the little fingers on the lower half of the belly, you will see 15. Divide those digits by 5 and you have three… and those are the already baked ones. Number 4 is still in the oven.
With three kiddos, the session was bound to get a little crazy, but I had a lot of fun and I think the family did too. I can’t wait to meet the newest addition!
I started out almost 4 years ago with one studio light, a single black backdrop and a few willing subjects. This past Saturday I had the opportunity to get back to those basic elements again photographing a wonderful mom with her two boys. When she scheduled her session, she had a “look” in mind - a portrait of Princess Diana with her sons. It’s a classic image that we all recognize.
We of course did a variety of shots to tie in with the overall theme of the portraits - black on black. I love the basics! So classic.
For now, her arms reach around her boys…
