My Three Muses

It's December. We only have 6 days left before Christmas, but I couldn't stop taking pictures. I am officially "closed" for the holidays, but one of my favorite subjects just turned 6 months old so I had to make an exception. His older brother and sister are adorable and couldn't let their new baby have all the fun, so they joined in as well. The home was small, but has a sweet spot for light right in the dining area. I of course moved out all the chairs and table (as I've done before for many clients) and proceeded with the session. I wont go into the chaos that ensues when the photographer tries to photograph her own children. I'll just say there was a moment where I turned around to find my other two on top of my kitchen table (which was in the living area) and turning lights on and off.

My caboose! Doesn't he have a cute one!


My little man, still in a diaper, but no longer a baby. (He's not two just yet)


The sweet face that reignited my love for photography. She's only 3 but looks so big now.


This one is just to prove that usually photographer's children are the hardest to photograph. (Mostly cause they've seen all your "tricks" a million times before)

The Tame Ones

Amanda has been a client of mine since the very beginning. I had the privilege of photographing her first pregnancy and was absolutely honored that she called me to photograph her blooming belly once again. We had lots of fun, and even took some that I'm sure only a handful of people will see (maybe not even that many) :P. I enjoyed our most recent session just a teensie bit more than all the others; mostly because, well, it was fun to change things up a bit.

Seeing Double

I've known these two handsome babes since before they were born. This was the first time I was able to photograph just the two of them. We had a blast! I'm afraid we completely tore up the house, but we sure had fun doing it. :D Mom was a great sport!

Double the curiosity

Double the muscles

Double the trouble (heartbreakers in the making)

Musical Family

This mom told me once that she plays practically every instrument her husband doesn't. They literally are a family of musicians. Their 3 year old has been playing the drums since he could sit up. They were so much fun to photograph and the boys did surprisingly well. I guess bribing them with the opportunity to play the drum at the end worked to our advantage. :D

Hey... what are you two doing?

Little drummer boys

Another Bun

I met this expectant momma almost 2 years ago when she was given a gift certificate for the birth of her younger son. I've since photographed her growing family a number of times. Needless to say, I was so excited when she called to schedule a maternity session. Can you guess what she's having this time around? Congrats Vicki!

One Fun Four-Year-Old

Mason was so much fun to photograph. As long as I didn't ask him to look at the camera or smile we did great. I made the mistake of asking him to look at me and smile and I got the cheesiest grin ever. We both enjoyed talking about The Cat in the Hat, doing an ABC puzzle, he told me all about this giant painting he did, that his mother proudly displays in her dining area, and then his mother let him break a cardinal rule... he was able to jump and play on her neatly made bed. I was so glad to see him enjoying a special day of special things, and it was so worth it! We got some great images!

One Happy Baby!

Cecily was such a joy to work with. By the end of her session her mother and I were literally laughing at her, laughing at herself. Cecily is not only beautiful but hilarious to boot. She's so funny she cracks herself up!
