Meet the Clarks
Ben and Hannah recently made a move to Minnesota but before they left wanted to do family portraits with me! We used two locations for this shoot, both go-to spots for me. I honestly just don't get sick of either place!

mini-albums - pricing
Looking back on some recent (and not so recent posts :P) I realized that when I put the pictures of my new super cute mini albums up I never listed a price!
Well, I am about to clarify that. They will be sold at $75 each or 3 for $100.
I am hoping to sell these not only for weddings, as they are obviously advertised here {haha} but for newborns and kids, families and everything in between. I think they are pretty much the bees knees and while my husband thinks they are a novelty, this is one girl who likes novelties that are this cool... and you're parents probably will too when they open one on Christmas ;)

Levi Matthew and a note about shooting with kids
It's been almost 3 months since I visited Levi and took his 1 year pictures and today I'm going back to photograph newborn baby brother Seth!
I gotta be honest and put this out there. Most kids are not cooperative when it comes to picture taking. There are SO FEW kids I can think of that have actually cooperated with me and done what I "had in mind." Buuuuut you probably think (that is if you haven't done a kid shoot with me yet) that it's all butterflies and roses when photographing kids. Au contraire my friend, au contraire.
More realistically, I tell a kid to do something, they do something else. But it's cute, so I take pictures. There is a rare exception of children who will "pose" the way you want. What works for me is working with them. I try to make friends and if they like me, they'll flash me smiles and run around showing me their favorite things. And the whole time I keep my camera close.
It works well, as you can see from my work! The reason I went on that tangent was to let you know that Levi's session was no exception. We started off in the backyard and he was none too excited to see me there. He was busy doing far more important things and couldn't be bothered with me and my camera! But we gave him a hose and he played and got wet, and LOVED IT!
After the hosing incident there was a total meltdown, so Mama took him in and changed him up while he calmed down... and we then spent the rest of the session between his room (see below, how cute is the wall decal!?) mom and dad's room, and the downstairs.
Post-meltdown chillin in his crib ;)
and beforehand, splashin' in the water :)
Readin stories in mom and dad's room being cute
And my absolute favorite favorite shot was playing peek-a-boo in the upstairs hallway.
I would say about 90% of my kid shoots go about like this {ha!} but one of the things that made this shoot so successful was Mom's laid back attitude about the whole thing. She worked with me and together we worked it out I would say :D

Aaliya, 10 months
I re-met Angelica back in November when Aaliya was only 4 months old. We quickly realized we had gone to school together about 7 years ago! Her and her husband are really good friends with my husband, and we too became fast friends.
Aaliya is now 13 months old! So many things change as the months go by! But this particular set was her 10 month pictures. You may remember 7 months from here.
Her 1 year pictures are were a joint session with her 3 year old sister Aariana and I can't wait to post them. One of my favorite shoots to date!

Stephen and Meghan, but mostly just Tommy :)
What amazes me most about babies is just how quickly they change. You can see a marked difference from month to month, even sometimes day to day!
Tommy was 7 months in these pictures, but today is almost 13 months! I cannot believe the change in just a few months... they go by so quickly!
Stephen and Meghan are his mommy and daddy and absolutely love him to pieces. In about 5 months from now they will turn from a family of 3 to a family of 4 and we're all very excited to meet her!

Hannah and the boys
This little girl is the princess of her castle.
She turned 1 all the way back in the beginning of this year, and I am just now getting to share her pictures! I am very behind, but my crazy busy summer is over and I am getting on top of everything. Hopefully in the next couple weeks I will be all caught up.
I have a few ideas brewing too and I'm hoping to share those soon!
But for now, we have Hannah turning 1 :)
You'd really never know it but she cried through almost the entire shoot! Thank goodness for photoshop, all the little tears gone away :)
These are her 3 big brothers. Their mom Jen had a vision for the kids pictures in her living room so in addition to taking Hannah's 1 year pictures she had me over one morning to take headshots of the boys too. Next time I'm over there I'll take a picture of her wall and share that too ;)
The top left is the oldest Kaeden, next to the right is the third Noah and the bottom is their second Micah. What a bunch of heartbreakers!
