I photographed Miss C. a week or so ago for her 2nd birthday portraits…but Grandma, who lives across the country was in for a visit so we fit in a quick mini-session to snap a few generation photos and portraits with Grandma. The heat was relentless again, but Miss C. was still cute as ever and did so well!
We don’t like to think about it - but we’re at the half-way point of the year and the holidays will be sneaking up on us before we know it. Why not get ahead of the game and pre-pay for your holiday session today. If you call today and pre-pay for your holiday session you will get a complementary set of custom designed holiday cards at your session. You don’t have to schedule today. The session must take place before the holiday cutoff (see holiday schedule).

Mr. N came in the studio today for his yearly portraits! He wasn’t quite sure at first if he wanted to participate in his photo session…but after breaking out a few toys, he decided I must be OK because giggles and grins came out of hiding!
Everyone always says since I’m the photographer, I must have tons of beautiful portraits of my children. Well you know the saying about the cobbler’s kids….well same theory applies to the photographers children!
Preparing for a session with my own children can be traumatic. They’ve seen mommy’s camera too many times, they don’t want to wear what I pick out for them, and getting the “look” I see in my mind is never going to be an easy task. But, being mommy, I know how important it is to capture these moments in their lives. I don’t want to miss anything and I don’t want to look back and say I wish I had taken more pictures.
I do not attempt the formal portraits more than 2 times a year with all of them together. Our yearly beach portrait is the most important.
This year, Josie had different ideas. She didn’t like the ocean any more. Wouldn’t step foot on the sand. I had to forget my idea of them dressed in white outfits on the golden sand. But the backup plan worked beautifully. Maybe even better than my beach idea.
(BTW - of course after the portraits were done, and on the final day of our stay at the beach, Josie decided she liked the “big waves” and we couldn’t get her off the beach!)
This set of twins came in yesterday ready for their close ups! They were both as precious as they could be and so very well behaved! Now I’m not saying it wasn’t a workout! But it was all worth it to capture these precious expressions!
I’ve been photographing this little princess since she was in her mommy’s belly! She is soon turning 2 years old and is growing into such a happy little girl! Look at these eyes and that smile! While she didn’t last too long, (the heat can be miserable even for morning sessions!) she was the perfect little model!
