Playing Dress Up

The parents of these girls were really cool to bring their girls in to play dress up... apparently a typical activity for a saturday. It was a lot of fun and I think we got some great shots. Here are some of my favorites:

Beautiful Abby

Pictures do not do this little six month old justice.. she has such a beautiful baby face! She wasn't really interested in having her picture taken this morning, but we had fun with her anyway. I love the tutu! She didn't.. but I did!

Six month old Alexander

I had so much fun working with this baby. He was intrigued by everything around him! It was almost as if he was examining how everything worked or how it was made. He has very expressive eyebrows and lips too - I can't help but smile looking through his pictures after having met him. Such a very mellow and good baby.

Addison's 3 month portrait session

This session actually took place last Wednesday but I haven't had an opportunity to post here since I have been so busy. Addison was such a good baby! She hardly fussed at all. I have been taking pictures for this family since the big sister Emily was this size. Emily did a pretty good job too despite her being jealous of her baby sister getting all the attention which is pretty typical. I have to say, Emily is so beautiful even when she isn't cooperating with what her parents want her to do! Below are some highlights:






I also wanted to show you some of my editing skills. In this particular case, I couldn't get the two children to look toward the camera at the same time and also have happy expressions. So I combined two different images to get one that might be more pleasing to the family. Here are the two images I used:




Here is the result of combining those two images:


Then I did some special editing and added the airbrushing to it to get this:

Little Jaden

Jaden is such a handsome little boy! I had the pleasure of photographing him late Saturday afternoon. He was a little over 3 weeks old, here are some of the different poses I liked from his session:

Cody and Kacey

Cody and Kacey are getting married in just a few weeks so we squeezed in an engagement session on Saturday. Here are a few of my favorites from their session:

Lindsay and Jason

Okay, I originally chose WAAAY too many images to post for this wedding.. and I went through them over and over again trying to weed it down to less. This is what I came up with to post. I had a lot of 'favorites' but I tried to leave a variety in. It'd have been more emotional if I had time to create a slideshow set to music, but I have other things to work on. Sorry... enjoy these though:
