Little “L” came in today for his 4-year portrait! I’ve been photographing him since he was snug inside mommy! It is always so much fun to watch the children I photograph grow up through the lens of my camera! Here’s “L” in one of his newborn photos…and then - a few sneak peeks from today’s session.

1 year Milestone!

February 13, 2010

Little N. came in this morning for his 1 year birthday session. He was a mover - already walking and not so interested in getting his pictures taken. Regardless, I was able to capture all that cuteness!!!

I met Mr. A this past Saturday. Such a tiny little man! Regardless, he did so well for his first modeling session, don’t you think? I love seeing fresh little ones in my studio! It sure doesn’t take long to forget how tiny a new little person is when your youngest is over 3 years oldnewborn.newbornnewbornnewborn

Trendsetting Thursdays

February 4, 2010

Today’s “What to Wear” discussion is for the kids. You do not have to buy your girls the exact same dresses…I know being a mom of two girls with a 5 year age difference between them, that is a difficult task anyway. And, as your daughter’s get older, they’ll have their own styles.

By selecting outfits with same color tones, the children will “match” enough to create a harmonious picture without their faces competing for a focal point in the portrait! Also, remember to choose clothing that has the same formality level. You wouldn’t want your girls dressed in a taffeta dress and patent leathers if your boy is going to be wearing jeans!

While shoes might be required for a more formal portrait, even opting for a barefoot for a few poses would be OK. Sometimes there isn’t anything cuter than little piggies peeking out from a pretty dress or khakis!
