Itchy Field

I've often admired portraits done in breezy-looking fields. So when our own backyard sprouted little white flowers, I decided I had to take the fam down into the field for a fun photo session, and to commemorate Micah's first birthday. NOTE to any other crazy photog people: this is a BAD idea! The [very scratchy] grass was waist high to an adult and it is TICK season. Yikes! Plus my husband and I have some really bad allergies. We were super itchy afterwards. I have to give mad thanks to Ezra, for loading up the red chair in the lawnmower trailer and smashing a LOT of grass down for us, so we could walk. And all without complaining. :)

One More

Okay, I've never done a 3 part "sneak peek"! But I'm sitting here proofing this session and I thought this one was cute, so I decided to share. :) Have a great weekend!

Brothers, Preview Part II

As promised, here are a few more previews from a recent session. These boys are soooo cute! We had a nice laid-back time playing and taking a walk. What a sweet expression on "Mr. B" below. :)

Have a great day!

Sigh.....{heart, heart, heart}

Last night my sweet hubby was giving the kids a bath while I was working. I happened to look out the window and noticed the amazing, foggy lighting outside. You know, the kind you get when it's been raining all day and then the sun breaks throught the clouds, right before sunset. Ahhh...So I yelled up to Ezra to please get Austin out of the bath pronto, while I grabbed the baby and my camera. I'm so glad I got these shots....I just love my 3 boys! Sigh...I think these will make a great Father's Day gift. I'm counting on Ezra not checking my blog until then. :) Oh, and Austin never made it back into the tub. Oh well!

I love this one below. I was actually just trying to get a test shot, but I like the way the boys are turned as they hear their Daddy approaching. Also, seeing Micah standing like that makes me smile...he pulls up constantly now, but he looks like such a big boy here!

Taking after Mommy? Austin loves his camera. It's cheap and takes horrible pictures, and I think he may have to get an upgrade this Christmas. He insisted on contributing to the photo shoot. I really wished I had captured this on video because he was hilarious...ordering Ezra and Micah around, but in a very polite, direct way (much better than me!) "Scoot this way and turn a little more!"

Brothers, Preview Part I

I know all you moms out there are dying for those big grin pics of your kids...but I gotta tell you, I just love a good intense look! I like this one so much I want it hanging on MY wall! :) I've got more to come from this session but I wanted to get something up for these handsome boys' mom. I wish I could get a picture of my own boys like this...



Have a great day!

Sweet Sibs

I love, LOVE the image below of this little guy. Actually, I love most of the portraits from this day, which is why this preview is somewhat extended! This spunky boy and I had lots of fun looking for "sneaky ducks" during our session. Little sister is so sweet and mellow, and was enthralled with the blades of grass on the ground. She reminded me of my little Micah in that they find their world so exciting and new!

Brother and sister together...so sweet!

Stay tuned - I've got several more "sneak peeks" to post soon! Have a great day!

Spring Fun - Sneak Peek

Here is a "sneak peek" of one of the nicest families I know! I had so much fun photographing these friends of ours. Their little man was full of adorable cuteness and had lots of fun playing games and enjoying the outdoors. I love how his little finger is wrapped up in his mommy's necklace in the image below.
