Jennifer aka Sew at Home Mom Is ready with her 4th of July lineup and it is, of course, darling. Don't be limited to the color combinations you're seeing. They're more or less templates of what could be! Thank you, AGAIN, to Annette and Lisa who graciously allowed us back on their charming porch!
Brooke and Bailey are here and as you can tell, they're completely adored. It was such an intimate shoot. Being invited into their home when they're in the throes of newborn life (times two) made me feel as if they really trusted me. Thank you for letting me in.
Oh these babies are irresistable. These were my last two shoots of the weekend and I know the mommas have patiently waited for their sneak peek. I hope it was worth the wait. Our Sunday shoots were a little trickier as it was a much windier day than our Saturday shoots, but I am rather fond of the backlit, flyaway hair. It's so sweet and soft.
Thank you to all of those that participated in these shoots. I had asked all of my clients to arrive early so as to stay on schedule and everyone showed up early and looking so perfect for our set. Amber and I had a great time!
We've got to think of a theme for our next couture shoots! I can't wait!
First on the lineup today is Emma. Emma is the daughter of Amber, who is responsible for our cute set. Even at this age I can tell that not only does Emma have Amber's good looks, but she also has her mother's flair for creativity. She is a special girl to me.
Our first shoot of the day on Day 2 of our Lemonade shoots was the Eidson boys. Aren't they adorable in their yellow shirts? So much personality! Hayden's rosy cheeks and yellow shirt matched our set perfectly. He was so sweet with little brother who was perfectly content with a cookie in his hand :)
Last, but not least, on this Good Friday are these three gorgeous cousins!!! I am loving their yellow and greys. Notice how Amber switched out the red and white stripy straws for the yellow and grey. She's so handy :) I'm so impressed with the wardrobe choices of all of my shoots. Every shoot felt like a staged shoot for Chasing Fireflies or Pottery Barn Kids.
Of course, these 3 girls were happy to be in front of the camera. No worries at all as you can see. Have a great weekend! I'll be back Monday with the last of the Lemonade shoots!
These teen/tween cousins showed up for the lemonade stand being very good sports, but just a few minutes in, I could tell they were not WILD about the lemonade stand so we pulled away from the set a bit and photographed them a little bit more naturally. And, I'm glad we did!
Then we had the Hubert kids who were just right for the lemonade stand in all of its glory. They were so sweet in their white and denim, and I love sister's red, sparkly shoes! Love these images of brotherly/sisterly fun. :)
I am so excited about these couture sessions. Amber's styling was impeccable and I trusted her 100 percent to accessorize the lemonade stand and make it magical. I had told her the kind of lemonade stand I was having my husband create. I wanted the set to look vintage, chic, whimsical, and FUN! We accomplished it all. I love the elegant-fun spin on a children's lemonade stand.
The first slot was booked for Miss Audrey and the second slot was for cousins, Kaden and Jackson. They had endless energy and we started our weekend of shoots with a bang :)
I've been photographing this cowboy for half of his life :) It's been fun to watch him grow and hear all about bull riders and rodeos! He's growing up, but still willing to dole out a hug or two (in exchange for a candy necklace). Happy Birthday, Gus!
This little dumpling has graced my blog since she was an infant and I love getting to capture her as she grows. Happy Birthday, sweet girl!
I got to photograph these two just before they were married a couple of years and I'm so flattered to get to photograph them now, just before their babies arrive. They will be welcoming 2 sweet girls in a few weeks and we were anxious to get these pictures behind us before the sweet babes got too restless. Doesn't she look fabulous?! TWO babies! Wow! Mom is already making plans to begin her post-partum workouts and all I could contemplate when pregnant was what flavor DQ Blizzard I was going to have every afternoon. I was never this cute when pregnant.
They were up for anything and so we had a good time strolling around and looking for texture. The weather was wonderful and the parents looked beautiful. Can't you envision their girls looking at these pictures of them years from now. This was a good shoot. A great shoot.
These little ones are the last of my Knit Fit minis. They are the children of BJane and they had us laughing heartily as they showed off their personalities for the camera. A friend that was there with me suggested video taping photo shoots and I have to say it's a brilliant idea. You wouldn't believe what goes on 'behind the scenes.'
I've been sporadic about posting, but I've been in a little bit of a rut. I'm starting to feel re-energized and hoping to post more things, more personal things. I'd kind of stepped back from doing that realizing there are negative critics reading, but truth be told there are far more friendly ones and I rather enjoy sharing and getting the feedback and/or suggestions from my friendly readers. So, I thank you for the encouragement and I send you a big virtual bear hug.
Happy Tuesday!
