This year, I was determined that our family would not be the proverbial shoe-makers children… we WOULD have our own family portrait this year! And through the wonders of a remote shutter release, I was able to take these family self-portraits a few weeks ago.

May your holiday season be filled with light and joy and be followed by an even better year to come..

Sunsets & Silhouettes

December 19, 2011

This was the first full family session I shot at my new favorite location.  I couldn’t have asked for a better family to break it in with me. Happy, beautiful and up for anything, meet the M. family!

One of my favorite things about this location is that after the warm glow of the sun has set, we can capture something like this..

Happy Holidays M. family, it’s been a pleasure working with and getting to know  you!

Fall Family Fun!

December 19, 2011

This fall was unusually warm, which for a photographer, is a godsend.  It’s our busiest season but also can be chilly and tricky to time an outdoor session right so that it’s not too frigid for the little ones! We definitely didn’t need to worry about that for this session, the weekend was practically summertime hot. I think you can feel the sunshine and warmth in these images despite the fall leaves on the ground – due in no small part to the warmth of this beautiful family and the love that they share!

Take a look at this cutie!

Thank you R. family, it was so great to finally meet you!

One of my favorite things about being a photographer is getting to watch my clients’ children grow.   First to delight in their newborn sweetness, and then to get to see them again as toddlers – watching their personalities emerge – it’s such a privilege!

Ellis’ newborn session a year ago was a dream – in fact, I’m not sure I’ve had such a cooperative newborn since!

And now beautiful toddler Ellis..

Thank you Joseph family for allowing me to capture another milestone in your lives – I will miss you when  you move, but wish you much luck in this new chapter in your lives!

Every once in a while, a shoot goes perfectly. So perfectly in fact that I had a nearly impossible time narrowing down which images to put in their gallery!  We had handsome,  sweet and cooperative three year-old Owen (and I thought cooperative three year-old was an oxymoron!) and smiley, good-natured and impossibly adorable Emmett.

Throw in a beautiful mom, leaves at their fall peak and it’s photography heaven!

Thank you Emmet, Owen and MB for spending this beautiful afternoon with me – I’m so glad that you will have an album of these images to treasure forever!

Cooper, One Year Old!

May 27, 2011

This is a tale of two shoots, one in which Cooper and his parents drove a long way to meet me at one of my favorite locations to shoot and it starting raining about five minutes into the session!

We did manage to take advantage of those five minutes:

And then, we had to cut the session short and reschedule a few weeks later. Which, turned out to be great because we got to shoot when my field of dandelion flowers was at peak bloom!

Isn’t he the cutest? I loved working with this family, I hope we’ll get to document many more birthdays together in the future!
