Tall as a tree!

Emma wasn't feeling well, it was drizzling and we were quickly losing our natural light but despite all this Emma remained smiley and willing to sit on whatever minimally wet patch of ground I suggested. Under these huge trees worked well because the ground was minimally damp.

We found a dry porch to use for some dry portraits. I was so impressed with Emma's smiley-ness knowing she was still running a mild fever.

And just for fun I created this image to show Emma's l-o-n-g legs. She is one tall girl and I'm sure she's not done growing yet!

Thank you Emma for a fun quick photo shoot on a drizzly yucky day.

Enthusiasm

Taylor was so enthusiastic about her mini photo shoot at her grandparents house. It was raining and we were a little short on light but she was still excited about doing portraits.

It's easy to see why when you see how photogenic she is. Her enthusiasm and desire to please made this shoot a breeze.

I love her sparkling green eyes and her big smile. I tried to distract her by asking about the animals on her family's farm. She would say one or two words and then smile big when she thought I was about to click the shutter button. Too funny.

Thank you Taylor for a very fun shoot- despite the rain!

No Sitting Fee 2008

As the year winds down (it's almost Halloween after all and then it's just one big holiday until 2009!) people are starting to buy gifts (wait- you haven't started gift shopping?!).
As a gift to myself (and you) I thought it would be fun to offer to do all sessions with no sitting fee for the rest of 2008. Absolutely no obligation to buy prints. I'd love the extra practice (and the fun) of doing more photo shoots and I'm sure people are looking for holiday card photos, gift collages, etc.
So let's talk. You pick the location and we'll have a blast getting pictures like this one of you and your family (or the kids, or the new baby, or the cousins....).

The Elephant Park

A couple of weeks ago mom-to-be, Joanna, mentioned that she was thinking about getting her 5-year-old's pictures done. With a little juggling of schedules we arranged to meet at a nearby park to take this little (or not so little) guy's pictures.

After taking some pictures in a small patch of grass this little man was ready to hit the playground. There is a HUGE elephant just outside of the playground where this soon-to-be-big-brother posed for the camera with no encouragement from me.

After some mohawk free pics it was time to hairspray the 'hawk. This cool dude even did a "rock out" expression because his mom asked him to despite his concern that it would be embarrassing.
I loved his crazy blue eyes, his easy going attitude, and seeing the very cool relationship his has with his mom.

Thank you Joanna and big-brother-to-be for a fun shoot at the park. I'm looking forward to doing maternity pictures in a couple months.
