Siblings

Posted in Children1 comment

This pair of kids are some the super sweetest kids I have met. Last time I saw them was three years ago! It’s so funny, I knew they didn’t want to be there, but I love how you can lay it all out for kids this age and get total cooperation. They got out of the car and I said “I know you don’t want to be here, but the faster you do what I ask, the sooner we’ll be done.” Suddenly, it’s all smiles and understanding, and we were done quick quick! Both of them even thanked me for being awesome when they were done, and not a single eye roll through the entire time. Love it.

Tub time!

Posted in Babies, Children1 comment

This session has been over a year in planning. I spotted this tub at the baby’s newborn session and said “Oh, we should do a short session with all your kids in the tub and lots of bubbles everywhere!” and mom said “Oh sweet! They’d have so much fun!” but we had to wait for the baby to be big enough to stand and see over the top of the tub. As it was, once we got her in there, she slipped and whoooosh right under the bubbles! I was afraid we’d have to try again later, but she managed to stand up as long as she was holding on the side, yay! The barhroom was SOAKED and covered in foam when we were done (and so was I, for that matter), but it was a blast!

Family from a long way away!

Posted in Babies, Children, FamiliesNo comments

This super sweet family was seeing family in Winder this weekend, but they flew all the way from New Jersey! I think they did a great job putting together the wardrobe for everyone and the little ones were pretty open for whatever we wanted to do.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

Posted in Babies, Children, FamiliesNo comments

And we sang it over….and over….and over again:)

But it was worth it to get these gorgeous baby photos! My favorite part is that the dress in the first two photos was mama’s when she was a baby! We won’t talk about how long ago that was, now will we;)

As you scroll you’ll see her change from vintage baby to modern baby. It’s one of the many reasons I love shooting at the studio….so many looks all in one location:)

How I love my job!

Posted in Children2 comments

These two girls (you may recognize them from last year when they both came in with their sister, Ava Jane) make me laugh so hard. So, we went out to the Botanical Garden on Sunday the 1st, but it was grey and dreary, then rained on us, and then my camera ran out of batteries right on the last shot I needed, so they came back out yesterday to finish up. It was grey and nasty the whole day except for that one little 45 minute section of sun we got last night when we were out there. We finished up the night at Marble Slab getting birthday cake ice cream ON my birthday. In fact, I think I may have turned 31 years old while we were sitting there. What a fantastic night!

Through the eyes of a child…

Posted in Children, Families, ToddlersNo comments

That’s how I try to approach all my sessions with kids, from their perspective! Really, what kid wants to hang out with some grown up and be told what to do? Heck, I’m not a kid and there are even times *I* don’t want to do that;)

So, the best way to put them at ease is to just be their friend. You can play and have a good time with them while still capturing their wonderful expressions. Of course, you have to be willing to make yourself look a little silly to the other adults around, but secretly, I am always dying for an excuse to be silly!

These two brothers came by the studio with their mom and dad this morning to hang out and play. And that’s exactly what we did! Did you know that elephants and bears could fly? Did you also know that  you can play a game that is a wonderful mix of “red light, green light” and “freeze tag” and get amazing smiles? I think the best game all day was making an elephant jump out of the soft box;)

I hope mom and dad had as much fun as I did hanging out this morning. For two hours I got to pretty much forget about my torn abdominal muscle and just be a kid again. Great way to start a Wednesday if you ask me. Well, that and a pain pill ;)
