I wanted to let you all know that I am back from vacation. It was such a wonderful and much needed time away. I enjoyed my family so much as we swam, had great morning breakfasts and enjoyed being out on the boat. The life!

I’ll be returning emails as soon as I can (session this afternoon), and I apologize as my “email auto responder” did not send return emails to my clients stating that I was on vacation.

I had to share this little one year old – born on July 4th, so the outfit was perfect. I was happy to finally get a little girl in pigtails (just a personal favorite thing of mine). Sweet!! I hope you like these Mom.

I’m going on vacation! You all enjoy your week!

I want our sessions to be about the experience. I want the children (and parents) to have fun, to relax and enjoy our time together. It’s much better for all involved if the parents aren’t stressed too much, are smiling and joking/talking with their children and are not completely focused on how they are smiling or if they are smiling (and for some, if their smile is too big or too small). I want my clients to leave, being a little tired -yes, but also with a good memory of the time they spent as a family more than anything else.

This Mom did everything right! I adore ADORE these shots of them all just being a family – loving each other, wrestling and all! I had to share more from this session. It was hot, and we all still had fun!

I’ll see you all again after my vacation!

When a Mom lets her boys “be boys” and do what “boys do”, and I’m allowed to be there to photograph it, well, it’s beyond happiness for me. This was a FUN session. Three little guys – quite handsome I might add -and their Mom. Even though the session was specifically booked for her 5 year old (before he lost a tooth!), we got PLENTY of her other boys as well. You know this first image has to crack you up! I mean, if it doesn’t…wake up because it’s hilarious to see the two oldest wrestling (it was cute to watch) and then Lil’ Man there doing…..I have no idea what he’s doing…pulling his pants up?

You’re next! Then, I will be proofing again like a mad woman upon returning home from a much needed vacation and family time.

 But, it was really about this Big Man. He’s so handsome – really, really handsome. I’m just showing two fun ones I love.

I’ll have much more to share at another time. Nite!
