Oh Baby...

It's always so exciting to get a phone call about a Maternity Shoot. Once I book that date, my mind fills with ideas. With most of my photo shoots, my mind really does the work when we meet that day... but with a Maternity photo shoot there's only so much you can do with a cute Belly. I do however get a pretty good idea that day of what kind of photos you're gonna get... Your personality really shows and so it will in the photos.... even the "Belly" ones.

So for this shoot I show up and am greeted by the sweetest couple ever. New baby (obviously) on the way with Mommy who can NOT get more Beautiful. Seriously ... one can only wish to look this great 8 months pregnant. We set up with Dads help (thank you).. and get to shootin. I couldn't help but think how much I really miss having a Pregnant Belly (not the one you're left with afterwords.... lol), and how exciting it is to bring home a New Baby! Auhhhhh .... Ok .... I'm out of La la land now..... So ya, this was fun fun fun... I love these photos and hope to see the new arrival...

{SPORTS}

So I'm starting to do Athlete Photo Shoots. It' s not your typical School Photos... It shows way more than that, and it's really fun. I like to say it's a combination of "Who you are... and What you DO" ... I think these photos show both those qualities. I'd say mostly parents of High School Students call and ask about these shoots, but any age and any sport would be just as cool...(hmmm maybe I should do one with my boys... ya I'll get to that) Anyway, if you have any questions about these shoots or know of someone interested ... Just ASK....

{Cousins}

Sometimes it's just nice to show a preview of some of the shoots I do. I don't show all my work... I like to leave that up to my clients.

This was a cousins shoot that actually went kinda fast. Good friends of our family, with kids running everywhere.... Including Mine! I swear I thought my kids were going to be in the background of half these photos, until I noticed them M.I.A. (missing in Action)... but what do you expect when you're at a park? The cousins however, just wanted this to be done with. A few arguments + A little crying = Really Cute SHOTS! OK, now Let's go EAT.... ha ha ha

My Niece

I was so Happy to finally get some shots of my Niece. Not only is she an only child, but she is the oldest Grandchild as well. There are a total of 8 grandkids and one on the way (not me)... she always has plenty to do when she is with her two Aunties and we love her so much...

Together...

These days it's hard to get the whole family together. Everyone on different schedules, living in different cities, not to mention plenty of other things going on in between. Some how this Amazing family pulled it off and I'm so glad it worked out. These were taken on such beautiful property, that it was never an issue on where to take the photo. They were so "Real" as a family that I felt totally comfortable. The thing I like best about meeting new families is that for that hour or so, I get time with Just Them. It's such a short time, but these photos sure show a lot about them. Thank you so much for making me a part of this...
