Julie got a gift certificate to come visit me from another client of mine. Julie and Nicole (age 5) are an adoptive family. Nicole is from Guatamala and arrived to the US to be with Julie 16 months ago. This was the first time they had any professional photos taken of them. Julie was hoping to get a photo of Nicole in a white dress she brought. Nicole is really affectionate. I love the photo of her kissing Julie. There is one below…she looks a little sad but I know she isn’t..she was just looking down and thinking for a second…..I love the flower in her hair..
Liza and Alex and Liam
I love Alex and Liza. This is my 4th photo session with them. As the journey goes…first was the engagement session and then the wedding and now the baby…(we missed Liza’s maternity session as she delivered much earlier then expected) For this session I went to their home for a visit/casual shoot and grandma and grandpa were there too. Here are a few of my favorites…Alex has an awesome sense of humor which makes time spent with him fun and funny!!. I don’t think the baby appreciates the humor yet but he will….
Bella
Bella is 8 years old. Kelly, her mom came to me because Bella was going to have a communion and she wanted to display one photo of her at the communion party. Kelly envisioned Bella in a long white dress in the park or in the grass. The dress was being made and Bella was to have her hair done for the session. I love when a mom goes all out in styling their child so I was looking forward to meeting Bella. When they arrived I was amazed!! Bella was perfect…perfect hair, perfect dress. perfect listener.
Kelly and her husband also had a lovely idea to have many of the photos displayed in frames and then have Bella walk over the various grandparents and great grandparents and present these images as gifts to them. Here are a few of my favorites from the session.
Magda and Maja
Lesa, Rich and Ethan
Lesa and Rich are hilarious.
They both make jokes, make each other laugh and make me laugh. Working with them is really fun.
I am certain their child will grow up to be a comedian.
Ethan was 7 days old for his photo session and stayed asleep for most it. It was fun being able to mold him into the the various perfect baby positions.
Lesa was not leaving until she had a shot of Ethan asleep on his tummy. This turned out to be the announcement card and the cover of their album.
These shots are going to go in the baby’s room. The tryptich will be 3 separate canvases to hang above the crib.
