Babies, Birthdays, Balloons, Bumblebees...

Madeline and her lovely parents met with us early morning a few weeks ago to mark her 1st birthday! We took a little stroll down to Tiguex park and played in pretty party dresses, all yellow to go with the bumblebee theme that Madeline is having for her party! She was so amazing, big smiles and ohhh those big beautiful blue eyes! We came back to the studio where there was a yummy birthday cake waiting for her to dig into, and she didn't hold back! So much fun, we had a wonderful time and the studio smelled so amazing for the rest of the day. Everybody should start their day with birthday cake!! Thanks for sharing your birthday with us Madeline!

MP3 4 Months

i don't often post many studio pix of kiddos but I couldn't resist posting a few of these from MP3's session, he was just so dang cute!

A special request

We had a special request from one of our cutest baby girls this year - baby Avery. She really wanted to see her images on the blog and as I am such an accommodating person, I am gladly posting a few images from her 4 month session!

Rock Star Baby!

Jamyz recently turned 1 and has been rockin out to Metallica since before he was born, so it was fitting for him to be wearing his favorite metal band onesie! Thanks for rocking it so hard!

A mind of her own!

Sometimes as photographers we have ideas and a mental image of things that we would like to see happen with a shoot, we needed Alyssa to remind us that we are there to capture those things that make our clients unique! When we were photographing her this time, she wasn't feeling the tutu's and costumes, she had something else in store! When she climbed up on the chair and mischievously looked back at us, I knew we had the shot that screamed I'm an individual!

mysterious ways

There are many different kinds of families in this world, and sometimes we need others to make our families whole. The Snell's are good friends of ours and they received an early Christmas gift this year, Sophie was born December 6th and joined the Snell family shortly thereafter. Everyone knows that Sophie was meant to join their family, she was just meant to be born to another mother. I had the great opportunity to go visit with and photograph them shortly after sophie came home. She truly make a beautiful addition to a beautiful family.
We don't always know why things happen and when, the Lord really works in mysterious ways. We just have to put our trust him him and let his will be done!

Finally the Frushours!

We shot another family for our Legacy collection! We ran into the Frushours at the mall on crazy tax free weekend and they mentioned they haven't had pictures done of Hayden since he was born. We figured that since he's now two, it was time. We had a wonderful time shooting and playing, even though Hayden was more interested in eating cookies than doing pictures! It was a great opportunity for them to enjoy time together as a family and have great images to show for it. Thanks guys for coming in, and enjoy!

A "Legacy" series

We are releasing our legacy series in the close future and have been shooting some families, in the mean time, to use for our promo material. Today we were able to shoot the Fausett family. I have been looking forward to this shoot because I have not had a chance to spend much time with the youngest, Willy. He was a perfect model for the shoot this morning. Everything that we asked him to do, he did. He was easy to communicate with and in a great mood. --which can be, as most of us parents know, a real hit-n-miss at that age.
Anyway we had a great time look forward to looking through the rest of the images.


Thanks again you guys for coming over for our shoot this morning. I really enjoyed it! don't let it be so long before the next time we do your pictures!! Trisdan, we are going to be starting our photo classes soon, let me know if you want some information.
Your kids are truly beautiful, you are pretty blessed parents!
Take care!

Easton 6 Months

Yesterday we had another opportunity to photograph a baby from a couple whose wedding we had the honor to capture. Chad and Marissa are the lucky parents of little Easton, a six month old who is all boy. We shot in his bedroom which made the shoot very easy. Babies are most comfortable at home in a familiar setting. Instead of looking around at all of the unfamiliar things, Easton was completely relaxed, letting his personality show like nothing else. I know I say this of a lot of babies but Easton was a real pleasure to work with. He is a very hansom young man and Chad and Marissa are very lucky.
We are looking forward to our next shoot!
