a little indulgence...

So one of my favorite families met up with me to take some family photos. There was a skate park that I have been eyeing for a while and, though maybe a little skeptical, they allowed me to indulge myself and photograph them there. And I think it was worth it :o) We also went to a park, but I think the skate park ones were my faves of the day!

They beautiful family at the skate park


They did a lot of indulging that day. I made the lovebirds pose for a few photos. It's always nice to have some pictures of the two of you. After the babies come it seems we often forget to just photograph mom and dad, so I always try to get a few shots during my shoots.


I love this daddy toddler shot. So typical, so sweet. I love this kid!


Okay, I enhanced the color a little, but how could I not with those beautiful eyes!!


And I love this shot too. It shows little mr. T's cautious side.






And lastly, I love this shot. I love these kids. Love, love, love.


Thanks again for indulging me. There were so many shots of you I love, it was hard to pick what to put up. You are a beautiful family, beautiful people, inside and out and I feel blessed to call you my friends! Hope you love your photos!

almost...family of five

This beautiful family is about to add another little darling to the mix, so we figured we had better capture Rachel's belly before it's gone. Rachel is fast becoming a good friend and has taught me more about the computer side of photography than anyone. She has also captured some amazing shots of me and my family. So I was very excited, and honestly a little nervous, to finally be able to repay her. But I shouldn't have worried, she knows what works, and what she was looking for, so she made it really easy for me, and I think we ended up with some great shots!

Here are a few of my favorites, we'll start with a feet shot, as Rachel has a bit of a thing with feet :o)


With the, soon to be, big brother and big sister. Seriously, what beautiful children you make Rachel! Can't wait to meet the new little one!


I love this shot, I feel like it sort of captures how your family seems to me, and shows A's spunky personality


Mommy and her sweet boy


Mommy and her busy girl


And the beautiful mommy all on her own. (we did get lots of just Rachel, but I loved the interaction of their family...maybe I'll post more later...)


Rachel, I hope you love your photos, and I cannot wait to meet the little one, and take hundreds of pictures!!! (but until then...I am sitting by the phone waiting for your call!!)

and baby makes three

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing this fun couple and her adorable belly in their home and at Tynehead park. There was much laughter, and I was very entertained! The baby should be making his or her arrival any day now, and I am so excited for them all to meet each other!

Here are a few of my favorites from the day...the belly...


In the park...I thought I'd save the photos of baby getting raspberries from daddy for your private viewing :o)


Soon these arms will be holding a little baby!


I love the color of this shirt, it just popped in the photos!


And last, but not least, see the love!


Thanks to both of you for a fun shoot! I am so excited for you guys and can't wait to meet the little one!!!
