now they’re all about the camera…

When my kids were younger they’d see the camera come out on the weekends and run from me… ‘no moooooom, no pictures today, ugh’. I’d have to promise ice cream or something fun to do after to get a decent expression.

They had a day off of school a couple of weeks ago and Abby asked if we could do some updated portraits. She wanted to go somewhere different. It’s ugly outside with all the leaves off the trees and then I thought of the river…I’ve photographed clients down there, but we’d never been together. Perfect. It was a great day!

A few more cuties from last year…

I love, love my job! What a blessing it is to see these sweet little creatures when they’re just toddling around (some since they were wrinkly newborns), then starting school, losing teeth and growing big. It’s so fun anticipating a session when I haven’t seen the kids in a year and see if they remember me, see how they’ve changed and grown – what an honor!!

So, someone asked ‘who takes your holiday photo?’… we were at U of R and the plan was to photograph the kids and head down to dinner in the fan. The lighting was really nice so I asked a guy walking by (with his dinner in his hand) to take a quick shot of us – so thank you random UR student that photographed us! Did I mention he was smoking a cigarette too? Very talented!

More fall fun!

I love it when a session starts out and the kids are not havin’ it. One was cold (it was a little cold that morning), one was feeling a little clingy (turns out a few days later she has strep), you get what I mean… I was envisioning a re-do, but kept plugging along. Then duh, (guess I was a little slow and cold this morning too) I say ‘ what mom, you need to go potty, that’s fine, come find us when you’re done, we’ll be playing here’. Mom disappears, and guess what? You got it. Everyone forgot they had a complaint cause Miss Missy is acting goofy… before you know we really are just playing. YES! I did it. They were being tortured with photographs and they didn’t even know it!!!

Catching up…

Have to share these cuties. I know it’s going to be a good session when the parents just let us wonder off to play and the 9 year old little BOY says, “hey, look, what about this” and strikes a pose. Ha! I was loving it. At one point I had to stop him because it was getting a little cheezy. Once I told him to kiss and hug his sister he was suddenly *over it*!

Happy New Year!

Whew what a crazy season it was. It was a good year, believe it or not, but since I decided not to hire a new assistant it was a bit hairy. I definitely didn’t to keep up my blog and FB and photo galleries like I should, but the family stayed clothed and fed and clients got their orders on time (hopefully =)….

A few from the season…

Family time…

Speaking of capturing those memories…

Last time portraits were done, there were only two girls =). Aren’t they gorgeous?!

Lily girl…

I guess you can tell the rain has stopped since we’ve been outside non-stop for the past three weeks. It’s so much fun though, kids are much more comfortable exploring outside…

I know I say it all the time, but wow, how fast a year flies. I used to gauge time by school year and summer vacation. Then it was in semesters, then baby milestones. Now it seems time in measured in years. Ugh, I guess next is decades.

Just a year ago we were playing and singing and skipping around…

Will, Will, Will…

Is there such thing as “sassy” for a boy? I guess since he knows me now he’s relaxed and can act goofy (makes my job sooo much easier =) We had the best time – he was cracking me up the whole time. He had scraped both feet on the pool that day so mom literally piggy backed him all over the park – luckily it was only 90 degrees and muggy that day (yikes!) – both were troopers!

I kept telling him I was going to give him a wet sloppy kiss if he didn’t give me that “Will” smile. We were walking back to the car and the sun went behind the clouds and I said quick, go stand on the step for me for one last image and I promise I won’t kiss you. He was so cute, he stood there with the cheesiest smile and talked between his teeth – “did you take it yet”. OK, I knew it was time to be done! You’re the best Will!!
