I did a quick mini session with these adorable girls out at their family property in Longview. They were brave little souls and endured the freezing weather just an hour before it started raining. Thankfully we caught the good weather and were able to do photos outdoors. I had fun processing these and they have a sort of vintage feel. It was a great session!
I hope you enjoy your preview…
and just for fun!
and a few cards…
Here’s little mister J and his family. He’s one of my favorite little guys. He’s always so sweet and such a ham. I met up with them in Longview at their family’s gorgeous home. The backyard was perfectly landscaped and picture perfect. I loved this location!!
Thanks so much for letting me photograph your family.
I hope you enjoy your preview…
He’s just perfect!!!
this is my fav from the session. It’s little “J” and his Grandma. I just love their expressions!!
We went out to my brother and sister-in-laws place for a lazy Sunday afternoon. My kiddos had a blast playing on their property. They picked flowers and played in the leaves. Declan got to crawl around on the gravel – he thought that was pretty cool. It was unusually warm for November (and not to mention dry) so I decided to snap some outdoor pics of the kids. I think they tolerated me fairly well this time since I haven’t bugged them for photos since Halloween. I didn’t get any smiles from Mr. I, but at least he would look at me without crying. In hindsight I should have tried to get a pic of them together.I think my kids will be the only kids in the history of the world with more photos of them individually than of them together…
this cost me a piece of candy. Yes, I do pay her for her modeling work 😉
Isaac and his uncle nate (my brother)
he sat down on the fence like this on his own. We were teasing that we needed to re-do this one when he’s a senior.
his poor little pants kept falling down, so I caught a snap of him pulling them up..
he’s such a happy lil guy…
mmm… moss is yummy….
I met the G family at their house in Kelso for an in-home studio session. Normally I do outdoor photos for kids over six months, but after three days of non-stop rain, it just wasn’t going to happen! So we set up shop in their living room.
It was crazy trying to wrangle the three of them to get photos, but amazingly we managed. They seemed to have a good time, even though I tortured them with goofy faces and crazy sounds. All in all I think it was a success!
I hope you enjoy the preview!
This little guy melted my heart. He was ALL boy and a fun little guy at that. He automatically went towards the dirt as soon as we got to the park. It was so cute!! Here he was surrounded by all sorts of slides and swings and he just wanted to play in the dirt. His mom was totally relaxed and just let him do his thing. It was the perfect lifestyle session. I got a few smiles out of him, but for the most part he was a pretty focused, serious guy.
We met up at Horseshoe Lake park in Woodland, WA. I love this location. It’s perfect for all sorts of sessions. They have the water, the park area, a field, and plenty of trees. It’s also close to downtown so it’s easy to do “urban” sessions as well.
Hope you enjoy the preview…
Check out these gorgeous blue eyes!!!
this one completely cracks me up. Check out that face!!!!
and a very fitting storyboard…. (I LOVE this one)
