A family of three.....

This family was so wonderful during our session....mom wasn't feeling all that great but she didn't let it stop us!  All four of us worked together and I was able to capture some great shots of little K.  She was such a curious little girl....and did I mention that she loved to be naked....all of you moms out there...this should sound familar to you...I have to chase my little Julia all around the house because well...she would rather play in her birthday suit...I think little K would agree...

Look at her two teeth.......:)

So know there are monkeys in my garden....

I think I have just found a dad who could truely become one of my assistants!  By the end of our session he had beaded sweat on his forehead and looked like he needed a drink of some H2O....just so you know...all of that hard work....was worth it...as I was able to capture some great shots of the little one...way to go! 

Here is a little sneak peek......

Happy Birthday Mom!  It was her birthday today..so I was inspired to post this picture...

A mother always knows.....Happy Birthday!

   

Love for their kids.......

This session was really fun for me....the one thing that I took away from this session is that these three kids were loved dearly by their parents...you can just sense it in the air...it was some kinds of karma or energy...it was so real!!  The love and fun that this family shares was magical.  Of course this little magic made my session perfect!

Here is a little sneak peak of the kids!

Did I mention that their eyes are mesmerizing!

A private garden .....

I had a great time photographing this family!  These two were lots of fun...we had the honor of exploring their neighbors back yard...it was beautiful...like  a private garden with bridges and lot of nooks!  I loved it....as you can see I wasn't the only one having fun...towards the end of the season we came across a birdbath and it had fresh water from the morning rain....Little P was quite the little boy and didn't blink an eye when I asked his mom to put him right in it.....what a ham!

And then his big sister became quite the little model in this picture....

And then we stumbled upon a fishermen.....

Wait there is more....

On the Run...with hats and pearls...

I had lots of fun photographing this little one...she was quite the little runner and explorer!  We just went through the garden and checked out all of the flowers....and thanks to her aunt, mom, and grandma...I was able to capture these photos....lots more to come!!Thanks you guys!  You did a great job!

Where to begin...

This session reminded me of what family was all about.....the simple things in life will always be the best....I had so much fun with D....at our session we enjoyed the simple things that only a quiet country setting can produce....the beauty and naturalistic attitude was what our session was all about.....the sheep, the horse, the big red barn, and of course  "D"......everything so pure and so real...I had a blast with "D" and "B"~!  I discovered that a barn and country way of life was the life for me and hopefully I will be able to enjoy the simple pleasures of that kind of life one day!  Thanks to you for helping me learn something new about myself and also for letting me experience it for a few hours at your home! 

I couldn't decide what pictures to post...so I am posting all of the ones I have done so far! 

Thanks again, D!  Can't wait to see my necklace!! 

Happy Birthday D!

A big Family!

I had the fun opportunity to photograph the H Family!  There were 18 people in their immediate family!  Big!!  We had lots of fun together......I am keeping the family pictures for the slideshow....but here are a few of the cousins and little miss A!

The crazy fun these cousins have was just so natural! Makes me miss my cousins~!

A fun Family!

I know it has been awhile....I apologize..I am just getting over a little sinus thing~

I had a wonderful time photographing the H family.  We went on little adventures though the garden~!  We even had time for some sibiling love....

and then I caught little E...gazing to the sky in her own little world~!

Can't wait to get through the rest of the images!

A new look!

Expression of style!

When I first started my business, I wanted to get things going...so I didn't have much time to really reflect my style....well...it is time!  I have been re-vamping my website, blog and print materials to reflect my style of photography.  I love for everything to be fun and energetic..so if you have speakers on your computer...turn them up and make room to dance!

The song on my site was written by Brett Dennen  . He has a C.D. that supports the Mosaic Project.  The mission of this project is to teach kids world peace and also educate them on the different ethnicities.  Great project...! Great Song!
