Running around

Keeping up with Carter was a workout- and we had a lot of laughs too!

Carter has a strong personality for a little guy his age. So when we had our early May family portrait session I made sure to let him feel like he got to run the show. I would suggest ideas to Carter for what he and his parents should do for the next photo and encourage him when he made the executive decision to do it. : )

Letting Carter “be in charge” kept him involved and excited about all the shots and because he felt like he got to be creative in each pose he was ALL IN!

Loggins

The Loggins’ family has expanded with the birth of a new baby boy!

Baby photos is all about patience – because they run on their own schedule, whether you have a camera out or not makes no difference to little Joel. : )

So as usual when taking baby photos with a new family that has a new baby I let them know up front that we’ll take whatever time we need and they can relax and don’t need to feel any pressure for the baby to be ready for his photo right now, and then ready for the next immediately. We instead start off with a few easy photos then give the baby a break before the next set of photos. This approach keeps things laid back and fun for everybody involved. We had a great time making photos with Joel!

Elya Snow

Elya Snow has been planning and dreaming of moving to Uganda to work in an orphanage for as long as I have known her. Especially after her month long visit a few years ago to Buggadde Village, where she intends to return.

She has spent the last year caring for her brother who was disabled in an accident. The opportune time has finally come for Elya and she plans to make the move back to Buggadde Village in 2012!!! We did a quick shoot a few weeks ago produce a few images Elya could use on her blog and other media. She had a great idea to make a few signs with messages on them.

Brooke

Jay and Laura Burgamy have been loyal clients for a few years now. They were having difficulty getting pregnant, and when finally it happened they called to schedule maternity portraits (some of these you will see in my portfolio) and baby photos of their baby boy, Trent.

It’s been a few years since then, and now they have a new little sister for Trent! This is Brooke:

Heidi and Isaac

Heidi, Isaac and I got rained on during our early spring portrait session – but we didn’t let that stop us from having a great time and creating some beautiful photos. : )
