First off, all of these fabulous kids and families deserve their own special Blog post, but with my recent burst of business I fear it would be June before I caught up. Twice I had every good intention of being caught up with all night Blogathons but there are only so many hours and so very many sessions to catch up on. This is about half of my remaining 2011 sessions to post. I hope you enjoy them all just as much as I enjoyed spending time with and photographing my clients.
This is Dylan and he is an awesome kid. He still tells his mama how beautiful she is and that he loves her, though giggling through it in front of strangers. He's a handsome dude who told me all bout his martial arts class and what he likes about it.
One of my favorite babies, Grayson, turned 6 months old just in time for the holidays. He made the perfect little Santa and has one of the greatest baby boy smiles you could ask for. It's almost time for your 9 month session, Grayson!
I don't adore many sets of siblings the way I adore the H girls. They are, by far, some of the prettiest girls and also some of the sweetest. I've photographed them a million times already and would love to do it a million more! Their parents are pretty spectacular too. ;)
Like Grayson, Jaxson came in for his 6 month session and holiday portraits. He played with his beautiful mama, Kristin, and sat with one of his dad's ornaments from when he was a little boy. He is an amazing baby, just an all around sweetheart.
I've photographed Nate and Maddie on a couple of occasions, and it was so nice to get to finally meet and shoot the whole M family! They are a fun family who have a lot of fun, Maddy is the typical girly girl (she modeled a headband while visiting my studio and got to take it home with her) and Nate is your typical, mischievous boy. I'm always excited for sessions with these two.
Oh my! The K boys are just perfect! Perfect manners, good looks and the right amount of curiosity and enthusiasm. Mom, Kara, joined in the action at the end of the session while the boys looked over their Polar Express book. Isn't she gorgeous? They also won a contest I had in December and are picking up an Organic Bloom framed 16x20 when they come in for a session Monday. I can't wait to see them in the ties we have for them!
The other M family wanted to shoot outdoors like their 2010 holiday portraits, so we headed to Ellicott Creek Park. It was shocking to see how big their youngest has gotten and their two oldest are maturing. Always wonderful to spend time with, I had a blast chatting with them as we worked on their early day session.
Naomi's mom brought her in for her second birthday and holiday portraits. She is a sweet, quiet little girl with the prettiest blonde ringlets. She had fun playing with the toys I keep in my studio and riding the rocking horses. Her mom's favorite picture was the last one because it looks like she's praying to her.
Neven had his 3 month holiday portraits to look forward to and he was the cutest thing ever with his little tongue sticking out and joyful smiles for everyone. Because of a case of the cranks, we split his session in to a 2 parter so we could get everything his wonderful parents wanted. I just swoon for that sweet little face!
Riley's mom, Myndi, first brought him in for his holiday portrait session and then she won a 3 pack of portrait sessions when she was nominated for Giving is Awesome. So, we took his second session outdoors for a wintry set and a couple of snowball fights. He is one of the coolest kids I know, and he has an absolutely infectious laugh.
What's not to love about this beautiful family? I see the S sisters and their mama, Melissa, almost every month and finally got to meet dad, Paul, for their holiday session. I love how playful the girls were with their parents and how Olivia blossomed in front of my camers. This was a super successful session as far as smiles go! For the hundredth time, thank you to the S family for choosing me to be your photographer!
This isn't a real family, it's a bunch of actors and models I hired. Just kidding! Holy smokes though, is this a great looking family or what?! The other S family wanted something a little more elegant for their family's holiday session so we took it to the history museum and Japanese garden. They were funny, kind, easy to work with and would you just look at them! I kind of want to hire them to be my stunt family.
Funny thing, after their session I got stranded at the museum waiting for the fella to pick me up. Our car broke down a half hour away and after an hour I decided to call a cab. It was great to just enjoy the gardens though while I waited and I hope to do many more sessions there this year.
The Z boys are some of the funniest kids I have ever met! That sense of humor will come in handy come April when they welcome a new sister to the family! So many kids get bored of having to smile on command, so I took a rather, um... unique approach with getting those genuine giggles and grins from them. I'm sure their parents wondered why I was telling fart jokes with them, but they were happy with the results so I was more than happy to embarrass myself. I can't wait to see everyone again in a couple of months!
And that's it for this Lightning Round! Next will be babies, babies, babies!
