the young one…

The young one here… MisterN… the one they make use the oldest camera with the worst lens.. the one that has to “stay back” and out of the way…

I am happy to do it though because I get to shoot andnow they let me take the older ones by myself.  I found this cool palce to shoot and my mom didn’t!

 See what I can get if they give me some room?!

I grabbed this picture while I was trying not to get stepped on by my mom.

Personally, I think I should be paid but mom says it is good practice and I am lucky to be along.  I say we are both right.

Here are a couple of hers…

Cute kid isn’t he? He loves baseball as much as me I think.

mom’s…

mom’s…

thanks for checking out our pictures…hope you liked them as much as we liked taking them, which is a TON!

We love shooting pictures! (mom says especially of MisterC and MissM and I do agree with her.)

mine last one for tonight..

I’m back!

I am back shooting after our summer “adventure” with N and had the good fortune to have my first session back to be with a lovely friend and her two incredible kids.

Spending a couple hours with two very special kiddos felt like minutes… and their remarkable, loving, funny, gorgeous, kind mom was so energetic and patient that even though I know this about her I was still in awe of her mothering. I am hoping her goodness is contagious ~ as are my kids!

anyway… here is a sneak peek for you MamaS

this one just jumped out at me when I shot it and now it leaves me full of joy…

MissM you “worked it out” for me so marvelously… you are a natural!

life is SO NOT FAIR…

I did nothing to his eyes or lashes ~ seriously… how is this fair?!?!?!

Oh  MisterC you are going to get aways with murder with those baby blues!!

more to come…

Happy B-day PapaJ ~ we missed you! (and you owe me 5 minutes for a family shot!)

Be Blessed

he is home!

Our boy is home from his “adventure” as he calls it!

Praise the Lord!

Studio will be closed and sessions rescheduled until further notice!

May He bless you as He has blessed us.

a lifetime…

these two will make it a lifetime…

three kids, two dogs, many many many close family members, new houses, new jobs….

they are strong…

~ they will survive it all with love and joy ~

it is always my distinct honor to spend time with you… thanks for letting me capture your love

Be Blessed

cupid rocks…

Hello Class! You ROCK! MisterN POST! 9year old here!

9 year old photographer pictures and posting!!!

Dear class and Mrs. D,

Mister N, the nine year old on TeamHp here, I hope you enjoy my post on our blog. All the following pictures were taken by me, Mister N.

Don’t worry if you are not here, I just had time to put up a few, had to do my boring book report.

These are some picture  that I took with my camera that I shared with you today…

 just horsin’ around

watch out, I spit! and it is green!!

where did the frogs go?

One of my moms’ favorites from this shoot.

that’s all folks!

studio closing until April…

Yup.. it’s time

Studio closing February-April…

We have a few May and June openings if you are thinking of booking, now would be the time to grab those.

We usually close down shop Dec-Feb but we worked late this year and will be closing the studio from February - May … time to catch up on all the behind the scene studio details, camera updates, computer updates, what’s new in photography updates, etc… you would be surprised at how much of my time is NOT shooting, like MOST of it! The business side is the most consuming and all-encompassing part of the studio and thus the shut-down. That and I just plain old need to get out and shoot for me and for art and to rejuvenate myself!

That being said, we will try and update with a post or two just to keep things going…

since a post is better with a picture…

 Be Blessed

 

thank you…

Big thank you to all our clients/friends of 2009

We cherish our time(s) together and wish you are yours the very best year ahead.

We thank you for trusting us with your memories.

Wishing you and yours a blessed holiday season and a very happy new year!

 BTW… I designed this dress… yes, it’s true… it’s for a new kid’s couture line…

it was toooooo fun!

nine year old photographer…

art by hp… misterN to be exact

he is only 9 years old and this is what he captures when I allow him to tag along on a session…

I love his eye… he shoots like I use to… like I need to get “back to”

~ totally 100% … all-heart ~

no worries about light/composition/mood 

art…

honest… pure and simple…

so simple and quiet that it screams

he makes you think… wonder…

 he leaves room for questions and imagination

art…

N… you ROCK my world, these are hands down the best images from the session IMO

 

 Be Blessed

 

grateful…truly blessed and duly grateful

hope you have lots to be grateful for…

heaven knows that I do…

little miss e last year… 

and this year…

btw I made, yes MADE,  her outfit ~ I made her shirt last year, but this year I didn’t like to sleep so I had plenty of time! 

bet’cha didn’t know I could even sew.. neither did I ~ but it turns out I can ~ and  I can paint little flowers, too!

and this year no cousin to wrestle with so N had time to take some photos for me

… love this shot

 grateful, grateful, truly blessed and duly grateful I am…

check out the card…

Be Blessed
