The Windblown Look

All of the hairwashing, blowdrying and hairbrushing this mom did for her girls went out the window the minute we stepped foot out of her car. We had no idea our little photo adventure was going to take place in the midst of all this crazy wind. But it did. As we stood there in the parking lot with the wind whipping through our own hair, the mom and I exchanged knowing glances. It was clear we were both thinking, "Are we crazy to go through with this? Should we just reschedule? Will the kids have fun?" But we cast aside our brief moment of hesitation and decided to give it a shot. I'm glad we did.

P: Despite the crazy winds we encountered yesterday, I have to say that our time at the beach was definitely well spent. Not only did the girls (and I!!) have a fantastic time, but it appears that we did manage to eke out a few great shots as well. Especially if you're into the windblown look ...

Just a few photos for you until your gallery goes up. I'll let you know when it's ready.












Aren't you glad you spent all that time brushing K's hair??

Pets Need Portraits, Too

H, check out your little baby. He's definitely very deserving of some prime wall real estate, if you ask me. :-)

Great Hike

J: Our hike this morning was completely refreshing and so much fun. And it was clear K and J had a blast as well! I am still in disbelief that the girls managed to hike somewhere between three to four miles with us, determined to get to the waterfall and back. (Yes, we did technically make it to the waterfall but it was not quite as impressive as the girls' staying power on the trail to find said waterfall, was it??)

I have so many great photos of the girls and I'm realizing now that one of the most difficult parts of my job is editing the gallery down to just the best of the best. Your girls are so photogenic, it's a double edged sword ... it's too easy for me to take great photos of K and J but on the flip side, it's really difficult for me to edit any photos out!! :-) As a result, it will take me some time to get your gallery ready for viewing. So in the meantime, I'll leave you with a few gorgeous images that jumped out at me from the files.

Babies!

I've been remiss in blogging recent sessions so I thought I'd post a few images of some gorgeous babes I photographed not too long ago. Proud mommies, you know who you are!!

Baby N at one week young, looking so content and peaceful:


Doesn't he like such a wise old soul?

M, I love the photos you picked out for your birth announcements and will have the final draft for you to review tomorrow!

Baby A at four months old ... beautiful!


I couldn't believe how much A had changed and grown just since our last session two months earlier. Here she is already holding herself up. She'll be sitting up and crawling in no time.
