the handsome twosome

need I say more?

I've been meaning to post these pictures for a while! Meet little brother {G} and big brother {D}. {G} was a busy guy, off exploring and investigating the trees and plants, looking at the fish and even kissing the frog statue! Big bro {D} was easy as pie to photograph. So laid back and natural. What is it about boys and trees? Not only did we get the picture below, we also got some of them sitting in the tree = )

We even got mom and dad in for a few. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the family one below!

T - Senior Rep 2010

Meet "T"! He was referred by a good friend, thanks P! T was a great sport! Let's face it, men and women generally view having their piture taken very differently. I love it when senior guys are so easy and relaxed to work with. T plays the saxophone and as you might guess, is a golfer!

Here's your peek!

Ms. R - Senior Rep 2010

I am so honored to photograph Ms. R's senior portraits. Ms. R is a very special young lady. I was first introduced to her when she began working at my childrens' school. She is respected and loved among all the kids and her energy and passion are such a positive influence. She is one of the few babysitter's we trust to watch our kids. Maybe I should rephrase that and say she is one of the few people who can keep our 3 hoodlums in line = ) During the session we talked about future opportunities and Ms. R mentioned the idea of working with kids in need. Those who may have suffered abuse and neglect or other negative situations. I can totally see her doing something like this and have no doubt she would make an impact on each child's life.

R is also a soccer player and I enjoyed talking soccer with her. I played during high school and now help coach one of my daughter's teams. I think the fam will have to try and make a game this spring to watch Ms. R in action= )

We had so much fun on the shoot! R picked out some fabulous locations. Initially, she had admitted she wasn't comfortable in front of the camera. I would have never guessed! She tried to credit watching Top Model but I think she really is natural = ) I loved using art to create more art. Something special and unique. We really are our own work of art with the ability to recreate and define ourselves.

I should also mention that R has been photographed by the same photographer since she was young. Her dad pulled out wallet images and it was like a timeline since age 5 or something. Ummm, no pressure! Just one more reason I feel honored = )

Ms. R - I know you are uber anxious so here you go...

E & R - Senior 2010

Gorgeous x 2!!! As you can guess, these ladies are twins. I'm always in awe of the bond twins seem to have and these two are no exception. I'm sure whatever the future holds, it will include each other.

I LOVE this time of year. The weather is beautiful and I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to photograph some truly awesome seniors! I was a bit concerned about the wind but they managed to use it to their advantage and we got some rockin' shots! E & R are incredibly sweet and sincere. I had so much fun!

They were referred by my very dear friend Holly. Thanks girl!

Here is E -




Meet R -




And, together they are amazing!

breathe and wish...

"...and breathe and wish and hope for the best for your laughter makes my entire world go round."

I came across this in my web browsings and wrote it down some time ago. I don't remember if it was a quote, and if it was, who it came from. I just like it and thought it was fitting. It's just what kids do = )

This was my second session with the "J" family. The littlest J has changed to much since our last session. There are gorgeous curls where the baby fuzz used to be. She is mobile, crawling, pulling up and soon to be walking. Did I mention flexible? I think she might be the most flexible child I've met. She also has such a laid-back and easy-going personality.

The twins are 1!

Here they are as newborns. Now they are one! Delightful in every way! Their personalities are very different, but compliment each other so well. Watching them grow has been so much fun and I hope to capture more to come! I envision very busy times ahead = )

Despite the weather, which was rainy and overcast and light that was quickly dwindling, we were able to time the session to capture some with Abuelo (grandfather in Spanish), or Abluelito (a more affectionate term of grandfather. Maybe the English equivalent of grandpa). Abuelito was visiting all the way from Mexico = )
