A fantastic family shoot...

Spring is somewhat in the air here (although you'd never know it by the snowflakes swirling around this morning) and I'm always excited at this time of year to get families with their kids coming in for shoots that have great spring type clothing to show off! This adorable family co-ordinated really nicely and it was a real pleasure capturing the obvious love between the 4 of them!

I Heart Faces Week 12

I can't stress enough how much I LOVE the I HEART FACES blog! It's one of my new "check everyday" sites and I especially love the weekly challenges :)

This week's challenge for the children's category is "pouting" and I immediately thought back to a shoot I had last year where my adorable subject had just about had it with all the picture taking:




And the pet category this week was a no brainer for me. I captured this shot just yesterday during my Easter shoots with a live bunny. This super adorable bunny who is lovingly rubbing noses with my daughter is named Bailey and we absolutely love her to pieces!

Easter Shoots with Bailey the Bunny!

Wow, what a day! I had someone coming in and someone going out all day today with big smiles because the star attraction for today's shoots was so well behaved! Miss Bailey the bunny got over her initial nervousness and ended up posing like a pro and loving all the attention she got from all the adorable kids who came to see her! This was the first ever "live bunny" experience here in the studio and while I'm not positive as to what next year will bring, this years pictures certainly tell a pretty fantastic bunch of stories ;)

Amanda & Fam

If you live where I live, you've heard of "Convergys"...it's basically a place that everyone within a reasonable distance of here has worked at at some point in their lives and it's where Amanda and I met while both working there. Once we stopped working together, we lost touch a bit but I was lucky enough through facebook to get back in touch and have Amanda come over to have some pictures taken of her beautiful family, including the newest member who was just a week and a half old!

Baby Kylie & Family

Through a referral from a recent client, I got the pleasure recently of shooting Miss Kylie and her mom and dad. This cutie is VERY loved by both her parents (and the feeling is very mutual), and I was able to capture that through some of the pictures I took, check them out :)

No flash!

I found this awesome site not long ago and am totally addicted! You can check it out yourself via this logo

This weeks photo challenge was pretty easy for me as I'm a natural light photographer. The entries have to be taken with no flash involved.
Here's my child entry:

this cutie was just in studio the other day for his first portraits...he's just a week and a half old





and here's my adult entry:

this photo was taken not long ago as part of a boudoir session event I held

Easter portraits with a twist!

Easter is almost here! For one day only, I will be holding Easter portrait sessions here in my studio with a very special guest! That guest is Bailey the Bunny, a real life ADORABLE bunny! This a perfect opportunity to surprise family and friends (especially the grandparents) with some really cute pictures of the kids with this furry little friend for Easter.

A spring walk...

My little man and I found ourselves home alone this morning and with the nicer weather finally here, we decided to go for a little walk to enjoy the overcast but nice day and the birds chirping :) I brought my camera of course and realized how lucky I am that 2 out of my 3 kids are still little enough to be very accommodating when it comes to photos, especially since Branden is autistic and it's not always this easy to get him to do something I want him to do lol:
