Three brothers = one wild 'n' crazy photo session!

So Sunday I had a session that was rescheduled from the previous week - Mom really wanted me to photograph her three boys at the waterfall location, but after all the rain it was more of a raging rapids! This week was much better, so we set out to get some great photos!!

First, we have Mr. A - the oldest of the three, who was bound and determined to be on his very best behavior for this session in order to earn a Brownie Sundae at DQ afterwards (and he did) :)

Next, Mr. M, who was 7 and usually gave me a closed-mouth smile, not wanting to show off his missing tooth... but I did sneak a few from him!

And finally, Mr. N, who was 4 and just full of giggles and crazy faces most of the time!

They seem so innocent alone, don't they?! But put the three together, and it was a whole new ballgame!! They had me laughing so hard - between little N and his crazy faces, some strange noises coming from one or more of them (we never did get anyone to admit to it!), and their general confusion about how/where I wanted them to go (you want me to sit HOW?? I have to TOUCH him?? I have to act like I LIKE my brothers??)...

I did end up with a rather large number of shots that were some variation or another of this... (this was N insisting on putting his arm around M, who promptly removed it... about 8 times. And poor A was either shooing away one of the million mosquitoes that were feasting on us or else just shaking his head in disgust)...

But we really did manage to get some great shots... including my absolute fave, which alone is worth all the mosquito bites and wet clothes these boys went through...

Isn't that great?! I just adore it :) K, I truly had a great time working with you and your boys, and I hope you enjoy this little preview! I promise there are other great photos to come!

He's the older brother... but no pink stripes in his hair!

A couple weeks back I did a session of N's younger sister, with the pink stripes in her hair. We also got a couple shots of the kids together, but ran out of time before we could get any of N alone. So we did a quick mini-session last week with just him...

And he told me he "didn't know how to smile"... I think this proves him wrong!!

And this is a look that his mom and I frequently see from him... kind of that "yeah, sure, right" look when we tell him something that he's not quite ready to believe!

We got some nice shots out of this quick little session, I hope you enjoy your preview:)

Sweet kissable cheeks!!

I was so excited about this session last Sunday... this little doll was a newborn that I photographed back in the spring, and now she is 6 months old!!! I can't believe how quick the time has gone.

When I saw Miss A, I was SO happy b/c I knew I'd get some great shots - look at those squishy cheeks and adorable button nose!! She had the most adorable smile... can you tell I just adore her :)

She was such a good sport too... the grass was pretty wet (9:00 a.m. in the fall results in some pretty dewy grass) so we had to put her on some blankets, and I also set up my backdrop with paper at the park too which worked well, except for when she would plop onto her stomach and try to army crawl away!!

Here she is... getting ready to make a break for it...

So then we decided to contain her... everyone loves a baby in a basket :)

And finally, my favorite.... how can you not love this little doll!!!

C, thanks for bring Miss A back to me... I had so much fun working with you both again!

One more sneak peek from last week...

Here's another sneak peek from last week's session by the waterfall... I think this is so cute!!

OK, now back to proofing...

And so it begins...

I'm so excited to start blogging!!

I decided to start by posting a few images that I've taken over the past couple months, and plan to add more as I take more...
