I am so excited to share this new favorite picture. I love it for so many reasons. She always gives me the best little poses all on her own. Today she was doing some silly little things and I caught this shot in the middle of her “pose change.” She has her own sense of style and shows her uniqeness daily. I love capturing images that show and express that.

 - And… I always love taking pictures of her!

I love it when my children will pose for me and let me get some practice in. I especially love it when during these little sessions I manage to get a shot that I love. This is a pose that I saw on a photography forum. I knew it was something that I wanted to try with all four of my children. On this day, I asked my oldest if he would let me practice on him. My youngest wasn’t as cooperative but I started shooting and got some really good ones. I was only wanting to work on the lighting and didn’t plan on keeping any of the pictures since it didn’t include all of my children. Once I started editing them I couldn’t bring myself to not keep the images. I know this photo isn’t techincally perfect but I still love it. I will definately try this pose again, next time will all four of my children. Until then- meet my oldest and my youngest…..

I absolutely loved this “mini” session. She was a little goofy at times but all of her images turned out amazing. I was able to try out my new home made backdrop and absolutely love how in looks it these pictures. This drop is a perfect size for newborns and young children, so if you know anyone who might want to schedule a session – send them my way. As a reminder, I am currently building a portfolio and have a special running on my website for anyone who books a session with me during this time.

Here is a sneak peek-

Outdoor Child Session

A sneak peek into an outdoor session. Typically an on-location session will take place in a park or a nice scenic spot where the background can provide beautiful landscape. Here we went up to Anthem and found a gorgeous spot with the waterfalls. Lots of green foliage and flowers- made for a lovely backdrop. Had some little chairs to pose him on, and away I went snapping pictures. Here are a few of my favorite -

More from my session with “T” for his first birthday. What a fun photo shoot this was. We started out with getting pictures of him with balloons and even a couple of 1st Birthday hats. When the cake was brought out he was ready for the fun! Didn’t take him long to get into it and smash it up! Here is a storyboard with some of my favorite shots from the session. There are more in my flickr stream… click on the link to the left.

I had so much fun doing a cake smash session. He had just as much fun as I did, let me assure you. I was able to get lots of photos… Not too many with eye contact, he was keeping his eye on the “prize.” It was cute how he would look at his fingers, all covered in frosting. Lots more pictures to share from this session! Here’s a little preview-
