I couldn’t wait to see little Stella again!  Click HERE to see Stella’s last session with us.  Stella showcased her chocolate brown eyes and softly curled hair, but unlike last session, she was walking and talking! So fun!  We started off her session in the wooded area.  I found a beautifully lit area, with perfect ground cover. Stella loved picking the flowers and spending some quality time with Mom.  What a fortuitous day, because that area was completely mowed down the following week!  It was meant to be    Stella changed into a cute little bathing suit and hat, and we all made our way to the shoreline.  Mom brought beautiful tulips and a pail, and Stella had a blast walking to and from the water. Thanks, Grandpa, for making sure that she didn’t wander too far into the ocean!  It was great seeing all of you again. We’ve enjoyed watching little Stella grow from a baby bump (click HERE to see Mom’s maternity shoot, HERE to see her newborn shoot, HERE to see her 6 month shoot, and HERE to see her 9 month shoot), all the way through her first 19 months!  Grandma, Grandpa, Dad and Mom, it was great seeing all of you too.  Here’s your sneak peek:

It’s been almost 2 years since we did Kaila’s newborn shoot (click HERE to see Kaila’s newborn shoot), and she was the same cutie that we remembered…just with more hair!  She had some of the funniest and cutest expressions, and she looked absolutely adorable in her purple dress (just like Mom’s!).  Just look at those expression-filled eyes, enough to melt your heart, right?!  Mom and Dad, it was great seeing you all again.  Loved the outfits!  Here’s your sneak peek:

A family photo shoot…exactly what every preteen and teenage boy wants to partake in.  Mom contacted me and asked if we could do a family photo shoot before her eldest son went off to college.  Our first shoot was a rainout (I believe we had it scheduled for the weekend of Hurricane Darby).  The weather on the day of our rescheduled shoot was not much better.  It was windy, hazy and wet…not ideal conditions for a shoot at the beach.  Luckily, mom just wanted some group shots, and everyone (except for mom) had relatively short hair. At least I didn’t have to address a lot of hair editing in their photos!  Mom kept it simple…just a few family shots, a few sibling shots, and some of the boys being “their normal [selves]”.  Gotcha.  We did the family shots, then focused in on the sibling shots.  At first, everyone was civil…until I said, “OK, just act like how you typically do with each other.”  The result…what you see in some of our sibling shots!  Well, at least they will always remember what it was like to “kid around” with your brothers  

It was great seeing you all again!!!  Here’s your sneak peek:

Our Ethan is a big brother!  We did Ethan’s newborn shoot 2 years ago (click HERE to see Ethan’s newborn shoot), and he was amazing.  I remember asking Mom what her secret was, because Ethan slept soundly for his entire shoot.  We affectionately called him “Hat Boy”, because we put hat after hat on him, and he didn’t bat an eye.  Well, little bro Caleb was EXACTLY like his big brother.  Caleb was also a sleepy little angel.  We did some of our most challenging prop shots (hot air balloon and hanging shot), and he slept through it all! Mom and Dad, your boys did a wonderful job!  I still don’t understand how we were so blessed to have your calm little guys for their newborn shoots…but we’re definitely not complaining    It was great seeing you all again, and congratulations!!!  Here’s your sneak peek:

Look how much Emily has grown in a year! The last time was saw Emily and her family was a year ago (click HERE to see Emily’s newborn shoot).  Fast forward a year, and we had a happy, active, talking one-year old!  Loved Emily’s pretty dresses and cute little shoes.  She liked our props, but especially loved running outdoors on the grass…how big is that smile?!  I think it’s the cool breeze and open grass…freedom!  Mom and Dad, it was great seeing all of you again!  Thanks for being so easy-going and flexible with your schedule. Here’s your sneak peek:

Ace and Cruz were ready for their shoot.  In fact, Cruz started smiling in the driveway…before he even got into the studio!  Lucky for us, he was full of smiles, so it was just a hint of what was to come.  Ace was a sweet, sleepy little guy. He was so calm, and tolerated having his brother leaning on him quite well (for our twin shots). The boys were incredibly easy to work with (I think that came from Mom and Dad, because they were equally calm and patient). While we shot individuals of one brother, the other brother waited patiently for his turn. I don’t remember having any crying at all during our shoot…just two sleepy angels.  Ace and Cruz, you did an amazing job!  Thank you for all of the adorable smiles    Mom and Dad, it was great meeting you.  The boys were so cute in their “Hulkamania-Champ” onesies!  Thank you for coming out to see us…I’m so glad our schedules worked out. We hope that you had a safe flight home, and that everyone is doing well!!!  Here’s your sneak peek:

We are officially into our holiday season shoots. The next couple of months will be a whirlwind for us, but as always, we are so incredibly grateful to our clients…both returning and new.  This family has been with us for almost 7 years now.  We’ve enjoyed seeing Adri and Brynne grow over the years…from little girls that couldn’t sit up, to the beautiful young ladies we have today  Click HERE to see our 2015 shoot.  Just look at those smiles, they are (of course), seasoned pros with us.  I always look forward to seeing the true definition of “sisterhood”.  Adri and Brynne epitomize the very special relationship that sisters possess, and I smile every year when I go through their proofs. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mom and Dad, for coming back to us year after year.  We love you all!  Next beach shoot, I will bring my long lens, and we can do some “action” shots in the water.  You have a year to perfect your body boarding techniques!    Here’s your sneak peek:

It’s been almost a year since we saw Dylan for his 9 month shoot, and boy did he grow (click HERE to see Dylan’s previous shoot)!  Same expressive eyes, same awesome hair, just on a toddler now.  Dylan started off our shoot on a cautious tone.  He hid behind Mom and peeked out from behind her to see if we were still there.  It didn’t take him long to warm up, and soon, he was running around like a typical toddler.  His eyes lit up when he saw the jungle gym, and he was off!!!  Loved his happy laughter and squeals as he slid down the slide.  Adorable!  My favorite part of the shoot was when Dylan motioned that he wanted a flower from a nearby tree.  Mom picked it for him, and he held it up to sniff it.  When he was done smelling the flower, he attempted to put it back on the tree…how cute is he?!  It was great seeing all of you again…especially big brother, Daniel!  Here’s your sneak peek:

Emi was a fashionista!  She wore some of my favorite outfits to her 6-month shoot (click HERE to see her newborn shoot).  I especially loved the black outfit with colorful print. So much fun!  Big brother, Tyler, came with his famously sweet smile.  He’s a pro at smiling for us…and he had his birth through one year experience with us as well.  Emi and Tyler had the same happy smile, the type of smile that lights up their entire face    Emi loved touching her big brother, how cute are they together?!  Thanks for coming out for your shoot, Mom and Dad!  Here’s your sneak peek:

Remember Kenzie’s beautiful head of hair that she showcased during her newborn shoot (click HERE for Kenzie’s newborn shoot)?  Well, she it was even more luxurious 6 months later!  Kenzie’s hair curled softly around her happy little smiling face.  She laughed, and flashed an award winning smile for all of us.  Her big brother, Aiden, was a great help.  He prided himself in being able to make his baby sister smile    So sweet.  Thank you, Mom and Dad, for asking us to capture Kenzie’s 6-month milestone.  Before you know it, you are going to be braiding that amazing hair, LOL!  Here’s your sneak peek:
