A Photographer's Child...

This is the face of choice lately for my son. But I've finally figured something out...instead of trying to coax him into putting on a face I want to photograph, I just let him get it out of his system and then we move on.

It looks like he's channeling his inner James Dean or Elvis. :)

This was another revelation. Instead of trying to find things to say that will make him laugh I just let him talk. He cracks himself up pretty darn good if I do say so myself.

Fish face. ♥

Lest you think these crazy images were all I got...I will post the "good" ones soon.

Happy 2011 BTW!

Pumpkin Patch Minis - Little Guys

Oh my goodness! Is this little guy cute or what?! I got to hold him for a little while. So squishy and smiley. Chubby legs...don't get me started! :)

Why is it that boys are blessed with such long lashes?

How do you contain a 20-month old? With a basket and trucks of course!

Look at those baby blues! Not to mention the cheeks and that hair!
He's going to be a heartbreaker mom. ;)

Just so sweet. Reminds me of my son when he was really into cars and trucks.

Pumpkin Patch Mini Session #1

I have to admit that I do photograph my son first every time I have a mini session. He's my assistant...whether he wants to be or not! LOL. He loves to help, so it's usually not a problem. And there's always candy...

This year I turned the images around quickly so that my clients could get their portraits before Halloween. Therefore, I neglected to do any Sneak Peeks. So, here we go! :)

I can only hope that when my clients look at their images they have the same reaction I do at times. 

Amazement...at how fast their child is growing and how beautiful they are.

L♥VE

Wonder...that something so precious has been given to me.

It takes my breath away sometimes...

Halloween Exercise

To say that my son likes candy is a huge understatement. He L-♥-V-E-S it. So Halloween is hands-down one of all-time favorite holidays. But doesn't every major holiday come with candy these days???

Here he is in his squad car that I made for him. He thought it was really cool for about 5 minutes...until he figured out it would hamper his ability to rip through the neighborhood at blazing speeds. Fortunately, I had already seen that coming, so I got my couple of shots and then it came off.

I was going to use reflectors for the lights, but I couldn't find any at the Dollar Store, so I ended up with these LED lights. I envisioned him being able to benefit from the lights once it got dark. :)

There he goes! I sense that I took some similar pictures last Halloween too.

There he goes again...leaving his friends in the dust. You can't beat that smile though. :)

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!

Bayside Worship Live Recording

I cannot tell you how excited I am to be a part of the Bayside Worship Live Recording next week! This worship team rocks! And no, I'm not singing. :) I'm going to be photographing the event.

The live recording for their new CD will take place on Wednesday, November 3 and Thursday, November 4 at 6:30 p.m. at Bayside Community Church. The event is free, but you need to get a ticket to attend one of the nights. Here's the link to Bayside with more information. Here's the link to Bayside Worship on Facebook where you can listen to a few clips of their songs.

Here are just a few of the members that make up the awesome Bayside Worship Team:

This is Jordan Becnel, the worship pastor at Bayside. He has so much energy and enthusiasm and ♥ for God.

2010 Buddy Walk at Hunsader Farms

So excited for tomorrow's Buddy Walk at Hunsader Farms. It will be a lovely day photographing wonderful families with some very special kids. :) I am especially happy not only to be the photographer for the Walk, but a participant as well. Looking forward to supporting my friends Marco and April and their little boy Nico. Go Team Nico! :)
