The "E" Family

What a great family -- great location - - great shoot! I had a lot of fun and I think that they did as well.

Sisters

These two beauties were so much fun to work with - I loved how excited they were to have their photos taken. The day started out with rain but mother nature pulled it together for us so we didn't have to re-schedule our session.

Photography to the amateur is recreation,

to the professional it is work,

and hard work too,

no matter how pleasurable it may be.

Week 4 - Project 365

PROJECT 365 - A PHOTO A DAY FOR A FULL YEAR

DAY 22 - The day started out with rain but ended with beautiful blue skies. I found my girls along with the girls from across the street sun bathing in our driveway.

Day 23 - I took this photo from my car window because ... I got out of the car - 100's of grasshoppers went flying and so did I - right back to the car. Now you all know - I'm afraid of grasshoppers.

Day 24 - I found my photo behind my neighbors 6 foot fence so I grabbed the closest thing to stand on - a child's plastic chair. I snapped my one and only photo and then the chair snapped as well.

Day 25 - Blowing Bubbles ...

Day 26 - I won't keep you guessing with this mystery picture ... it's my foot soaking in a foot bath. I've had a sore toe for a week now and was on the mend ... until my daughter ran over my foot with a shopping cart today.

Day 27 - A room with view - Olivia's kindergarten classroom.

Day 28 - Nope ...my car isn't the lucky one getting washed ... maybe tomorrow

Baby C

What a doll! Happiness was the feeling I had after my session with Baby C - it must have been her beautiful smile and sunny personality that touched my heart.

The "R" Family

I had the pleasure of photographing another "new" family this past weekend - their beautiful baby arrived into the world about 8 months ago. My favorite photograph from their session was a bottle break for baby ... you can truly feel their love for each other.

Eyelashes

Wrapping up my favorite summer photographs ... my youngest looked adorable wearing her Nana's childhood Easter Bonnet and the lingering mist on her eyelashes from the mist machines at the National Zoo was a photo op that I couldn't pass up.
