Little Marin looked as pretty as a princess at her 2 year old shoot.
We went to railroad square park to get some fun colorful pictures of Marin and her precious family. Marin wasn't sure if she wanted to have her picture taken, but after a walk around the park she decided to warm up to Mrs. Linley.
Man, she makes me want a little princess for myself!!
Ryder's Mom, Jennifer, wanted a unique setting for their Christmas card pictures this year. We headed down to a little known patch of railroad tracks and had a blast! Ryder's dog Marley was all ready for the shoot and even brought his own matching puffer vest. Nice touch Marley.
Ryder and Mommy wanted some pictures to give Dad for Christmas so our next stop was an out of the way farm. There we found an old horse stable, a tire swing and lots more to explore. Jennifer was pregnant with baby Chanley at the time of the shoot so we had to get a few belly shots in the mix too. (Chanley is here now, yay! Her newborn sitting is this weekend, look for those pics on the blog soon.)
All of the images we captured that day evoke a Norman Rockwell-esque feeling to me. See if you agree...
Here's a peek at the finished Christmas cards...
His parents that is. Baby Jack managed to "christen" every photography prop we used during this sitting. Only weeks old, his mommy and daddy hadn't been quite initiated into the part of parenthood where you get pooped and peed on... enter Linley.
While I didn't capture any of Jack's finer moments making new stains on his blankets, I did get some of the most precious newborn pictures that his folks will cherish long after the accidents have been forgotten. Babies grow and change so quickly at this age, newborn sittings are my favorite way to memorialize every little line and wrinkle in their pudgy little faces, hands and feet.
Meet Jack.
Ooohhh my goodness!
"Christening" the baby basket...
Now that the holidays are over I can finally post all of the Chirstmas Cards that my clients ordered this season. I try to wait until a good month after Christmas before I post them here for everyone else to enjoy. All of my Christmas Cards are customized for each client making them truly unique and special to each family.
This post features Hagen's Christmas sitting. These are cards were sent out by Hagen's Grandma and Grandpa using pictures from a beach sitting we did earlier this year. The baby and the pit bull wishing peace on earth. Such irony... you gotta love it.
