A little of this and a little of that….

The last month has been a complete whirlwind.  It finally feels like spring is here (or almost here), and the sessions have begun!  In addition to this, I spent the last 5 days at the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International conference in Las Vegas.  It really was non stop learning and soaking in as much information as possible.  I am very glad that I got to experience this for the second time (I went two years ago too), and I am really excited for the ideas, inspiration, products, and friendships that I am coming home with.  You will probably notice some of these ideas as I am going to immediately make some changes in the studio.  Please keep in mind that these are for the better, and will only help you in having the best possible portrait experience.  I really do believe in creating works of art with your family’s and child’s portraits, and hope that you take all the information the studio provides as helpful hints on how to achieve the best possible portraits of your family.  Ok, I’ll get off my soapbox now (I’m just excited to be moving forward with the business and making it better for you!)

This brings me to a few recent sessions.  The first one of of little “S”.  She is simply one word: adorable.  She had just woken up from her nap when we did her session, and she was just in the best mood.  I love her little curls and chubby legs.  Her parents were also very fun to work with.  I must admit I’m a little sad that these guys are packing up and moving to Europe, because they have been such fun clients to work with! (Plus, I’m just a little jealous that they are moving to Europe and traveling for the next few years).  S was such a natural in front of the camera, and I can see why mom and dad wanted to capture this age of her life!

This next little guy was also a lot of fun to photograph.  I was very inspired by the decor of the house we shot in, and I loved being able to use lots of colors, patterns and textures.  Baby “C” put up with all my clothing changes and room changes and was a great model.  I love the one of his parents with him on the polka dot bed, you can feel their love for him in the portrait.  I am looking forward to photographing him again later on this year and watching him grow!
