3's Company

I am laughing out loud, with warmth in my heart. I'm thinking of the shoot I just finished with these three.

They were a handful, that turned into really FUN pictures.
It's always difficult for parents when their kids don't sit still and smile, but those are usually my favorite sessions.

I enjoy these sessions for a few reasons.

First, there is no shortage of photo opportunities. I don't have to think of a pose and say do this or do that, the kid's personalities take over and I just follow closely with my camera.
Second, I don't have to think of a joke to get kids to crack a real smile. When they're free to move about they always discover something that lights up their faces.

Third, these shoots always provide AMAZING energy, fun, and emotion (my favs).

Finally, I LOVE a challenge. There is nothing like seeing a worrying parent who thinks we wont get a single good shot, transform into a parent who can't choose which of the many photos they love as their favorite. All it takes is one second, one moment, he looks up with joy in his eyes and 'click', I got it.

So don't worry all you nervous moms and dads out there. I love your rambunctious, dramatic kiddos.

Can't wait to experience the next photo shoot with these little cuties!

Natalie, Brent, & Baby

Meet the newest members of the "Baby Package".

It's such a wonder to see a bump in the belly grow into small steps and giggles.

I have the honor of photographing all their cute stages, until they reach 1 or 2 years. THEN, I make a book to recap the miracle!
The slide show I create for the 1 year consultation meeting has brought many to tears.

Time flies. But today 'baby' is still a little bump in Natalie's belly.

My Niece

My oldest niece was in Arizona visiting me this week. It was a great week full of fun activities...
horseback riding, swimming, hiking and of course photo shoots! I admire this little girl so much, she is the most down to earth and charming little thing AND she's adorable.
Here are a few of my favorite pics and moments from this week.
