Family

Yes, this is two posts in one day! Unbelievable. Anyway, here is a snapshot of a little session I did for my sister-in-law's family. We did a really fun shoot out in a grassy field with gorgeous evening sun...even got covered with burs and sticker things from the plants and these crazy bugs. BUT, we forgot that my in-law's computer doesn't seem to like our memory card and we lost all those pictures. It was disappointing. Fortunately we found some time the morning my sister-in-law and her family were driving back home.

Another Newbie!

It's been a long while since I blogged and it's not for lack of material. I'm backlogged, but hopefully will be posting a couple sessions this week. This is the most recent session. The Mom and Dad have become great friends of Andy's and mine and we are so excited for them to welcome their first baby! They are going to be amazing parents.

Here's a snapshot of our session.

Cutest little redhead you ever did see

We have been busy with life, and I have not gotten much time online to post this snapshot of my session with this cute little redhead. I'm so excited because they live near us and also just moved here, so that should make us automatic friends, right? That's what I thought.

This little gal was jam-packed with personality to match that hair. She can boogie like no other one-year old that I've seen. And after an extended session (sorry I stuck around so long, A & J), I finally had to quit because all she wanted to do was sit in my lap. Made it hard to get any good shots, but I had plenty already.

Fresh from the Oven

Yesterday I met A-bug, who was 11 days old. Her parents are over the moon for her! And they have good reason to be. There's a special kind of energy in a home with a brand new baby. After giving me some good open-eye shots, and after a little snack, A-bug completely zonked out and became the most moldable little thing I ever did see, I do declare. I hope this will not only help them remember what she looked like, but how they felt about each other, the extra bond that she brought to them. Having a newborn is one of the hardest, most challenging, most painful things, but somehow when you look back on it, that stage of your child's life brings feelings of joy you never thought you were capable of. This may surprise you, but I never once had to tell them, "Look like you're giddy!"

This Family

My brother is going off to Nashville this fall for school and we wanted to do a little family shoot before he left. Here are a few. I took some, then A took the camera.

LIFE Session at the Fair

{see bottom of blog or this post for session pricing and information.}

Last night I had a super fun LIFE session! I followed this family all over the fair. They were amazing to work with. Even the dad gave me such great shots, which I know is often a stretch for men. Thank you, R Family! I had so much fun! I hope this was as much fun as you've ever had getting your picture taken!

Here's a snapshot of our evening.

About the photographer

In my photography I focus on the truth that I have come to know about God and people. That we are made in His image to reflect His glory. No matter what our circumstances, appearance, whether we've lost that baby weight or not...there is something glorious in all of us because we were made in His image, and that is what makes a picture breath-taking to me. I prefer simple, yet stunning pictures - not highly-posed, stylized or accessorized. My style is laid-back and genuine. My family portraits focus on relationships between people. I use few, if any, props. I go into each session looking for whatever is unique to the family or individual, and what they will want to remember in the years to come.

Here is a good example from my own life, though I cannot take credit for actually taking these pictures! In May I begged my husband to take some pictures (he is a very talented photographer!) of me with our girls, going about our normal routine. At the time, we had a few unique things that we were doing that I wanted him to capture. If you're a mom too, you can identify with my feelings. There are so many times during my day that I think, "I wish there were someone else here to share this with," or "I just need to burn this into my memory so I never forget how special this is." Pictures are a powerful way to do that. I remember from childhood, looking at pictures and "remembering" things that I couldn't possibly actually remember! I hope these pictures do that for my children. Someday we'll talk about how sweet E was to Bugger when she was an infant, and maybe that will strengthen their bond because they have "memories" of loving each other.

This first one was about the last time I nursed my youngest, Bugger. My older daughter, E, liked to climb up on the arm of the glider, put her arm around my shoulder, and together we would dote on the little Bugger. E is such a little mama! Obviously, this was something that only lasted for a short season of our lives, but I wanted something for them to look back on and "remember" how sweet they were to each other!

E and I were in the habit of having Tea Time together and reading books. We read Charlotte's Web and she was enthralled with Templeton, the rat. Here we're doing our morning Bible Story from a book that I think will become a family classic for us. Tea Time is something we don't do often any more, but I hope it's something that we'll take up now and again as my children get older.

This is a prime example of why waiting to have your pictures taken is not a good idea. Bugger got "fangs" as we affectionately called them - her side 2 teeth came in before her middle ones. But I didn't get around to it fast enough and this is the only picture we have of that stage - after the middle ones came in. Oh well. You can still kinda see that the sides are longer than the middles - fang-ish, right?
