Jen (on the left in the black and white photo below) was the one who had hired us for the session, and I later learned that she is an extremely talented musician.  I definitely recommend checking out her website at www.jenwoodhouse.com I’m completely in love with the sound of her voice and her original music is just outstanding.  Check her out!!

I’ve blogged just a few images from the session below, but I really feel like the best way to get the feel of a lifestyle session is through a slideshow, so if you’ve got a minute, I’d love for you to watch it!

Then we had some fun with just the two of them. They did a fabulous job and we had a great time working with them.

H was sleepy when I arrived and stayed this way through most of the session

I love detail shots of teeny babies

She really gets into her yawns!

Family portrait

I loved this shot as Amanda watched Ray interact with H.

Sweet family.

For lifestyle sessions scheduled for October 22nd – November 5th, you will receive $50 off of your session fee as well as a free inclusion of your high-resolution digital files with a printing release. Because I am only one person, I will be limiting the number of sessions booked during that time, so don’t miss out on this offer and contact me today!

When I shoot families and children, you won’t get any “look over here and smile!” shots. Though that kind of traditional family portrait can be beautiful, I prefer to shoot candidly in your home, capturing who you really are! That way, young children are able to be at home where they are comfortable and are not forced to hold poses or smile at the scary new lady they’ve never seen before. Also, these sessions are just plain fun!

A few weeks ago I met up with Baby S and his mom, Andrea. Baby S is at the age where sitting still is just not happening, so he definitely kept me on my toes the entire time I was hanging out with them. I watched as Andrea and Baby S engaged in some activities that they enjoy doing together.

Not long after I arrived, Baby S headed for the door, ready to go outside and play!

Then we went upstairs to his colorful bedroom, where he showed me how he likes to play with his shapes..

.. and read his books (that’s a big book for such a lil’ guy!)

He also likes reading with mommy!

He had far too much energy to sit through a whole story, however, and it wasn’t long before he was on the move again!

Tickle time!

We returned outside again where Baby S decided he wanted to play in the sandbox for awhile. He thought that my pants would look great covered in sand, too! It’s all good though, I don’t mind getting a little dirty!

Their sweet golden retriever, Cosmo, getting some baby snuggles.

I grabbed this fleeting moment when Baby S stopped playing for a second to give mommy some love.

He loves to “bow” the lawn!

Check out those eyelashes!

We ended the session with a yummy snack, which he enjoyed immensely. Can you believe those blue eyes?

Don’t forget to schedule your own lifestyle session and take advantage of the special!

Next up: Chris & Heather’s wedding!

Isn’t she a doll?
