Sweet, sweet baby . . .

Little Alaina is now 8 months old, but I was just reminiscing about the day I met her back in January.  She was only 18 days old.  Such a sweet baby, she only fussed because we were moving her around trying to position her just right.  Her sister clearly loves her and serves in her “big sister” role very well.

She slept most of the time, but woke up long enough to get a few shots like this.

Then it’s back to sleep again.

I almost didn’t get the basket out, but at last minute decided to take a little extra time for that.  I’m glad we did, because I love these shots.

Alaina and her mom were referred to me by a mutual friend and I’m so glad to have made the connection.  It was so great to get to know this sweet family.  I’m looking forward to photographing Alaina and her sister again sometime in the future.

The Brunette and the Redhead

Percy Warner Park was the perfect backdrop for these sisters in their pretty dresses.  And we photographed Maddie and Margot just in time.  The session took place on a Saturday, and the following Wednesday Margot (the little one) fell off a stool and broke her arm.  Lucky for her she got to wear a fun pink cast for six weeks.

It always intrigues me when siblings have such different features, like the straight brown hair vs. the curly red hair. It just goes to show that even with the same parents, God makes us each in our own special way.

The “get-away.”  I love it when 2-year-olds decide they have better things to do than hang out with me and have their picture taken.  And she wasn’t going to let that dress hold her back.

Maddie and Margot’s mom is in the mom’s group that I am part of at her church.  We’re not in the same discussion group, though, so we haven’t been able to spend much time together during our Monday morning meeting time.

I’m so glad I was able to spend some time with you and your family, Emily. It was great to meet them and get to know you better.  I would love to photograph your family again in the future.

Tony and Susan Engagement

Tony and Susan got married in November and wanted some engagement portraits.  I found out after I met them that I have photographed Tony’s sister and her family a couple of times (her family is the one in blue and gray in my blog header).

Tony and Susan were great to work with.  They did pose one challenge, though.  They are TALL.  I believe Susan said she is 5’9″ and Tony is around 6’7″.  First I had to work with the height difference and then I had to figure out how to position Tony with his long legs.  It all worked out great, though, and they were pleased with the results.

This image is my favorite.

I really loved Susan’s hair pulled back.  She did it for a different look.  I think it looks so classic.

It was such a beautiful day.

It was great to meet you two.  I hope your first “new year” together is a fabulous one.
