So what do you do with twin one year old boys who are both walking? How do you dodge the bright sunlight, get good eye contact, keep them in one place AND keep them happy? Well, to be honest we probably didn’t really accomplish all of that but we did have fun trying. 
Poor Mr. Q was just not feeling it that afternoon as he was still recovering from a cold. He wanted only to be in Mama’s arms. Mr. R was more content but so serious that I could just not get a big smile out of him. So we put them in a wagon…which worked for a couple of minutes. Then we tried a little chair. Hmmmm. That worked for a couple of seconds. So when all else fails enlist Daddy to pick them up and hold them. Despite the challenges it was really a fun time getting to know this family and these adorable little boys. They were so sweet and so loved. I hope you enjoy this little peek of our sunny afternoon together.
I was so excited to meet with this family because I have already had the pleasure of working with them back in July when I did Mr. T’s seven year portrait session. This time it was not only Mr. T, but also mom and dad and the grandparents. Mr.T is so handsome so of course he has a beautiful family as well. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the skies were blue. The weather feeling like autumn with slightly cool temperatures. What better way to spend the afternoon than with this fun family at The Carl Sandburg Home in Flat Rock, NC. This location has been a favorite of theirs for years so it made perfect sense to do their family session there. I really had a great time and I hope they did too. Thanks for letting this “Yankee” feel like I was a part of your beautiful family for a brief time on that gorgeous autumn day.
Okay so not really any puppy dog tails here. However, there is one adorable boy to put up on my blog today. I had the sweet pleasure of photographing Little Mr. B again. I did mom’s maternity and then did his newborn pics when he wasn’t even two weeks old. I just love when I get to see “my” babies again and be amazed at how much they have grown and changed in what seems like the blink of an eye. Little Mr. B was still one of the most mild tempered and sweetest baby boys around. He was so happy when we set him down on the ground to play with the leaves. So quietly he would contemplate them before popping one in his mouth. He was such a doll and so nice to photograph. So easy to see why he is so adored by mom and dad. Here is a bit of a peek at our session. I hope you enjoy it!
So every time that mom would hold him I would think, Oh! he looks just like her! But then when dad would hold him I would think, Oh! he looks just like him! LOL. So what do you think, does he look more like mom or dad?
I have been so lucky with my clients. I truly get the nicest clients in the world. This wonderful family was no exception. The two kids were so well mannered and so cooperative. Brother wants to be a professional drummer and I can totally see him doing that. I am sure mom and dad will be thrilled with the years of practice in their home. :-) Sister is still not sure what she wants to do but I have a feeling that super model may be an option for her someday. Has anyone else noticed how much prettier teen girls are now than back in the days of the dinosaurs when I was a teen? Goodness she is beautiful!
I hope you all enjoy this little peek of our afternoon together. I think the traffic jams and the dodging then chasing the right light was all worth it. Mom and dad you have beautiful, beautiful children!
Beautiful little Lula has to be the happiest and prettiest baby ever! And perhaps the chubbiest! Love her chubby rolls and big blue eyes. Plus she has the cutest name. So easy to see why this baby is so loved and adored by her family. I could take pics of this little girl every day of the week. What a delight!
Hope you enjoy this quick peek of your session Lula family.
You can imagine my delight when I was met at the door by these two gorgeous, adorable girls and their beautiful mom (who is expecting baby girl number 3 soon). What a lucky daddy that lives in this home to be surrounded by these beautiful girls. I had such fun spending some time on a late summer afternoon with them. I can’t wait to meet the new baby girl soon. What a wonderful life she will have with these two sweet girls as her big sisters.
I hope you enjoy this little sneak peek of our session.
Have you ever seen a more perfect belly?
The day was hot. At over 100 degrees hot is an understatement. But we didn’t let the heat spoil our fun. We had a great time exploring a park with rocks, waterfalls, big trees and plenty of room to run (or skateboard). Mr. T just turned seven and it was my good luck to be able to capture him during this grand time of childhood. He was such fun with a million different expressions. Just asking him about his favorite word would bring out contagious laughter. Don’t ask what this favorite word is though. I have to keep it a secret. He was just so natural and relaxed in front of the camera and just sooo good looking. This boy would be perfect as an actor or model. Sorry though girls. T is already taken. So Mr. T and family here is a peek at your session. Enjoy!
My favorite:
Is it any wonder how he got to be so good-looking? What a beautiful family!!
It was a weekend of sweating gallons in almost unbearably hot weather, barely any sleep, and exhaustion. It was a weekend of bliss. :-) I had the exciting opportunity to get together with a group of very talented photographers and learn tons while shooting some beautiful models. Julie Wagoner of Uppercase Photography hosted and planned this wonderful get together. She chose beautiful children and led us to some fabulous locations. One was a loft that is quite simply a photographer’s dream. Other locations were a gorgeous field of wildflowers and beautiful flower gardens nestled in a park like setting. Julie spent an immeasurable amount of time planning this weekend for us and it certainly showed. It truly was a weekend that I will never forget. Thank you Julie and to all the other photographers that contributed so greatly to this weekend of bliss!
Here are some of the images that I was able to capture during this weekend. Thank you for stopping by to look through them.
Remember those darling boys….more fun than a barrel of monkeys? Well mom and dad decided that they wanted in on the “fun” too so we set up a mini session to get a few family shots during these last few glorious days of autumn. It is never easy to photograph toddlers but the kids were so cute and the day was so beautiful that it really was a great time. Mom and dad thanks so much for your patience while we tried to find the “right” light. By the way, mom has the most beautiful eyes ever! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek. The rest of the pics will be ready soon. Thanks so much!
What is more fun than a barrel of monkeys? These two adorable brothers. We decided to meet at the beautiful, historic Woodfield Inn in Flat Rock, NC. Lots of nooks and crannies around the property for some fun for two boys and a workout for mom and this photographer! We were happy to see dad stop by to give us a hand. LOL. I had a blast spending a gorgeous fall afternoon with these two sweet boys. Thanks mom! I hope you all enjoy your sneak peek.
