My little girl is growing up!! When I started doing professional phototgraphy my baby girl was only 3 months old. Well look at her now! She doesn't look like a baby anymore. Where has the time gone? I guess I'm feeling a little nostalgic today :(.
I just found this blog entry at the very talented Jesiica Wernes Blogsite. She is the owner of Dew Drop Photography in New Jersey. Even though it says Fall 2009 I thought that it could come in very useful when selecting your clothing for your spring sessions. Thanks Jessica!
"The truth is–I hate to give too much direction regarding what to wear for your session because each of my clients has their own unique style."
"However, there are some general rules you should follow. For adults, make sure that your clothing is comfortable and that you wouldn’t be worried to sit on grass or on some outside steps. Now that cooler weather is here, dress in layers. Think about beautiful sweaters or coats that make a statement as well as fun scarves and hats (particularly for the little ones). Here are some visuals to get you thinking in the right direction:"

(special thanks to fellow photographer Jessica in St. Louis for her help with this post)
I just joined this wonderful site called "iheartfaces" and I'm just loving looking at all of the wonderful photographs. "iheartfaces" is a great place for all photographers ( newbies-pro's) to meet and learn from each other. I don't care how long you've been doing photography there are always new things to try and techniques to learn. This is a great place to start that journey!
"iheartfaces" also has a weekly photo challenge. This weeks challenge was "Texture". I rarely do photo challenges. I'm not sure why? I'm just a big chicken I guess! Always afraid that others won't appreciate my work. So, I'm jumping into this head first and going to give it shot. This photo does not use photoshop textures but uses mother natures gift of textures. I just love how the grasses seem to dance not to mention how Jessies's hair is blowing in the wind. Here goes!
I had a great shoot with "M" on Tuesday! "M" needed photographs for his new investment blog and I think we definitely got some great shots. I'll post the name of his blog as soon as it goes live. Good luck "M" with the launching of your new blog!
Little "C" wears pink better than anyone I know. It certainly makes her glow! We had a great time entertaining little "C" today. She wasn't sure she wanted to have her pictures taken today but after ALOT of pursuading we won the battle :). I'm so glad that "C" cheered up because she looks gorgeous in her photos. It was great meeting both "C" and her Mommy "K" today. I hope you were both able to catch a well deserved nap this afternoon.
I had the best shoot today with baby "Q"! He is such a sweet lil baby boy and I could have taken pictures of him all day long. There is nothing that I love more than newborn babies! "Q" loved having his pictures taken by the cozy fireplace and didn't mind posing in his "birthday suit" at all. "Q's" parents are wonderful and we had a great time getting to know each other. They've had more than their share of adjustments in the past 2 months. Moving to the burbs, bought their first house (old home to boot), and first time parents. Welcome to the club!!! You'll love every minute of it ;). I promise!
Little "L" is the newest baby boy in our hood! His mamma is one of my friends and neighbors. Mamma "M" is such a sweetie and I just love her. Of course I expected her little guy to be just as sweet and I was right. Baby "L" loved playing model for the day and let me have as much fun as I needed with him. You gotta love that sweet little face!
Santa Clause decided to visit our home a little early this year and wow did he deliver something special! Take a look at the newest member of our family. His name is Harlow and we're just loving him to pieces. Merry Christmas everyone!!! I hope your holiday is filled with the magic of the season.
"L" is one of my favorite people in the world. I've known her forever. Life is so exciting for her and her family. She just got married and is so in love! So now "L" and "A" are an official couple. Together they have three children and what a beautiful family they are!! Congratulations!!
OK...you decide if these little cuties are naughty or nice. I think the photos tell all :)!
I'm not sure who is cuter in these pictures!!! Little "B" or Maddy the puppy. Little "B" you were fantastic and sweet little Maddy did a great job too. This is by far the PERFECT picture for a Christmas card! Maddy was the best Christmas gift ever! You are one lucky little boy "B"!
OMG! This little guy is such a cutie. Don't you just love his blonde curls and amazing eyes? Little "G" is an active and busy boy that had me wrapped around his little finger. I just loved photographing him! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek "G" family! Thanks for letting me spend some time with your beautiful family.
