Baby Mabel
I have so much love for this little family. I’ve been working with Meagan since 2008 when she was just engaged to Stephen. Then came a wedding (unfortunately, I was unavailable to photograph this one), pregnancy number 1 with Vivienne and a whole year’s worth of yummy photos with her, and now little Mabel. These images speak to me because I see so much love and comfort here. Everything seems to be in it’s right place. Meagan and Stephen love being a mama and daddy and Vivienne loves her new sister, Mabel. I also feel like Meagan and I have a similar attitude and approach to motherhood. We’ve connected so much since our little girls were born and I am looking forward to spending much more time with this precious foursome…
The Solots
I’m still madly in love with photographing families. There is nothing more honest than a family documented naturally. You can pose kids and fix their hair. You can put them on the couch or prop them up with stools and toys, but that’s not my cup of tea, so to speak. I love loosely capturing the honest moments–the emotions, the movement, the growth. I feel like I’m still learning to shoot looser. After years of trying to get contrived smiles, I’ve learned that the best smiles are those that happen naturally. The moments that I capture have nothing to do with me being there. I’m simply there to capture the “decisive moment” and to put capture it on film, forever. For me, this is magic.
The Greens
I was so excited when the Green’s called me to photograph their little foursome. I had photographed Laura and Jay’s wedding back in 2005 and knew then that they would have the most fabulous children if they ever decided to do so. And boy, do they ever! These two little ladies just radiate light and life. Life is rich for the Green’s…
The Delaneys
This family vacations in Colorado every year for six weeks, totally secluded in a hidden cabin that was built in the 1800’s. They haul up their own water, eat pie in the woods, take fire heated hot tubs, tell each other secrets in their tree house and love life together. I want this life…
The Kesslers
I haven’t been blogging lately, not because I don’t have a ton of great images to post but because it hasn’t been a top priority. Having a 18 month old is keeping me busy and then there are the weddings and the 5 shoots a week and editing, etc, etc. But I do want to catch up and especially showcase a lot more of my portrait work. It seems like last summer all I blogged were weddings. This summer, I’m going to try to blog more family themed work. The Kessler’s are great subjects to build momentum with. I adore them. I photographed Rachel and Jake’s wedding, engagement photos and did a family session a year ago with them when Ruby was 1. Now Ruby is 2 and I’m so in awe of how sweet this little threesome is and of what great parents Rachel and Jake have become. And Ruby is just delicious. I think the photos and the faces say it all.
