Party of six

Posted in Children, Families2 comments

Check OUT this gorgeous family!! Mom did such a great job on the outfits for sure. You just can’t really go wrong with Matilda Jane! Mom emailed me and asked “I have this vintage velvety tufted chair with wood, can I bring it?” UH.. YEAH!! I love how all the kids have such different personalities. Oldest sister is sweet and mellow and patient, oldest brother is super duper funny and smart, younger brother was everywhere and curious about everything and littlest baby girl was just watching and thinking about everything. I had a great time with them as well, but the best part was at the end of the session when mom says “Oh, thank you for making this so painless!!”

Princess in brown

Posted in Fairy Tales3 comments

So I finally got to test drive my brand new chocolate brown gown this evening! This sweetheart is super shy but so so gorgeous. I LOVED to watch her with her little brother because it’s so so plain that she just loves him to bits. He strolled up and patted her dress and said “Oh, so pretty!” and she replies “You should have been born a girl if you wanted to be in the pictures!” This lovely girl did every single thing I asked of her and she is a brilliant princess!

Lovely little tinkerbell

Posted in General6 comments

This little girl’s mother says “Oh, she’s pure magic. Everyone falls in love with her.” It’s so so true. Meet Chloe. She’s the winner of this year’s Memorial Princess Session. Her nominator wrote “Our Honored Hero for the Athens Leukemia/Lymphoma Society is a 3-yr old girl named Chloe. She was born with Downs Syndrome and at the age of 2 was diagnosed with leukemia.  After 6 months in the hospital, she is now in remission!  I don’t know her last name, but I’m copying the LLS representative on this email so that she can send you the info.  Chloe would be a wonderful choice for your princess because she is one of those “self-rescuing princesses” that should be in more fairy tales.  She’s joyful and loves to sing and dance.  She is just a kid, regardless of how much she’s survived…she’s just a sweet little kid.“

Tonight’s session was super super fun. She laughed and bounced through the session and I found myself giggling so much my stomach muscles hurt! Her daddy flew his little tinkerbell all over the gardens, her mommy blew her kisses and her sister played ball with her and everyone (including me) loved her to bits. She really IS a self-rescuing princess, and the world needs more of her for sure.

Read more of her story in the Oconee Leader and her mommy’s blog here.

Life is a highway, and I wanna drive it all night long…

Posted in Babies, Children, FamiliesNo comments

These boys love their cars. And fire trucks. And mom and dad!

We had a ton of fun in the studio last night hanging out and playing. The best part I think is when little brother got his bottle, walked over to me, and plopped down in my lap. Despite having 489 children of my own, I’ve never claimed to be a baby magnet. However, this little guy was quite the snuggle bug with me! Mom and Dad were certain we didn’t get any shots. Oh how I love surprising folks;)

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.

Blue princess

Posted in Fairy Tales1 comment

Miss Annabeth here is one of the nominations for our memorial princess sessions. Annabeth was born deaf and was fitted for cochlear implants a year ago. In that year, her Mommy says she’s gone from a shy, scared little girl to an adventurous, willful self-saving princess. I tell you, she had me in stitches at our session tonight! She’s just so darn funny! She was in the water, running through the grass, hopping up and down, she had it all. I can’t wait to see what kind of person she turns into!

We started out in this wonderful little sapphire fairy outfit, but it was itchy and the wings were tight. I think everyone with a two-year-old know what happens when you have an itchy dress. Sooo we ended up with another dress.:)

The funniest thing about this session? I LOVE this grass and wanted her in it so bad, but she wouldn’t put her feet down to stand in it, so I said to her mommy “Okay, you are going to laugh, but if you lay down and let her stand on you and put your hands under the dress to hold her up, I won’t be able to see you at all. Are you game for that?” Bless her, but she giggled at me but laid right down in that grass to let me get my shot! Ah.. the wonderful life of assisting at a photography session!

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!
