Toddlers Together

February 5, 2010

I thought I’d share a fun personal photo.

During our trip back east we visited my old friend Kendra in New Jersey.  I mentioned her a few months back in a post.  Her son is one day younger than my daughter.  This was the second time they met, and seemed to become instant friends.  I think at one point three of the four adults had a camera out and were trying to keep up with the little ones running around.

This is one of my favorites because it captures them.  It reminds me of their dashes that would start in one end of the kitchen, and end in a very brief break looking out the window at a cold winter day.

It was very cold on Saturday morning when I met Katie, Andy, and Alton for their family portrait session.  I was so bundled Alton who is almost two, and a friend of my little girl, didn’t seem to recognize me.  The family braved the cold romping through the muddy Christmas tree farm with me, still managing to smile and have fun.

I met Carrie back when Evan, and my daughter, Mackenzie, were still napping on us in slings. Both are now toddling around, and Carrie is expecting her second baby boy in just a few weeks. This morning we did maternity photos and family portrait session of Carrie, Stephen, and Evan, in their Hillsboro neighborhood.

The Other Side

May 23, 2009

Last weekend, I did a family portrait exchange with another photographer, Deanna. Her children and husband played in the park as she photographed my family. It was really interesting to see things from my clients’ perspective. I am not used to being on the other side of the lens. Deanna made us feel at ease, was super sweet with my toddler, and did an amazing job on our portraits!

Thanks Deanna!

Here is my favorite of your family portraits. Your little ones were a lot of fun, and your family has such spirit!

I’m a good way through processing the images from the mom and child photography session yesterday, and am excited to show the gallery to my client. I already did a preview this morning but I found a new favorite I had to share.
