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..

 Be Blessed

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

snips and snails…

You know the rest, but these boys are really sugar and spice.

Short post that I owed you MsL. Sorry for the delay and I hope your summer is going swimmingly! Thanks for letting me shoot for you.

I love this moment, this is “them” the way they stay close to each other…

and so it goes…

the days are long and the years are short…

and so it goes…

another young lady grown and ready to strike out on her own and conquer the world, well.. after prom and a summer vacation!

MissB and MrM you know that shooting you is pure fun! Thanks for letting me drag you about the property and for putting up with my “blinders-on” antics! I promise I didn’t think anyone was paying any attention to us ~ no idea we were causing a commotion, but with MissB you usually do!

Anyway.. here is a peak and the disk is on it’s way to the MamaC  aka… the one who paid the bill! (be nice to that Mama she loves you both!)

here it goes… MissB the commotion causer!

LoVe this!!!! The boyfriend/dad dilemma!!!

They both look fierce but MissB still steals the show!

 

Check out the angel watching over them both!

~ may your guardian angels always be fast enough to keep up with you ~ 

 

I will leave you with this one…

Classic beauty and the handsome beau!

UCLA gets lucky!

UCLA gets lucky to have this one coming…

Miss M you are so much fun to hang out with and so easy to shoot! Thanks for making my job easy and for putting up with me dragging you all over town. I think you made a great choice… sorry to all the other Universities that lost out on you. You are such a role model and my little MissE is CrAzY about you and I am using that to my advantage! “Well you know MissM does her homework right away and MissM always flosses her teeth after every meal, MissM always talks nicely to her mom, MissM, MissM MissM… ahh… your name works magic around here!! thanks!!

Since your AuntA is waiting to see more…

Here is MissM looking striking…seriously, how g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s. is she?!?!?!

LOVE the attitude in this one… just LOVe it

Something MissM would never pose like naturally… but it works because her goodness shines through…if she really had an attitude the image would be ruined it would be typical teenage but because you are so sweet MissM it is a perfect contradition and it knocks my socks off.. too sexy for your age, (sorry to your dad) , but as a photographer I LoVe it!!

another favorite of mine…

classic

I can’t wait to see what you do in this world… you make it a better place already

thanks again for coming out my way and allowing me to capture your goodness…

I ADORE YOU…

Be Blessed
