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:

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:

Lindsay's Bridal Session to show!

Lindsay's wedding was yesterday so I finally have the permission to remove the password protection from her online album, and can post a few here. She had a beautiful wedding and everything seemed to go well. I will have those up sometime this week most likely. Here are some of my favorites from her bridal session a few weeks ago.

McKenzie

As with most three year olds at a park, McKenzie really just wanted to go play, not have her picture taken. She did a terrific job though and was very cooperative.. and what a cutie! Here are some of my favorites from today's session:
