The Hood Family

I think its so much harder to photograph grown-ups than it is to photograph kids.  Kids are not self-conscious, they don’t worry about their outfits, their hair or their smile.  They are just naturally who they are.  Plus, grown ups are so hard to schedule!  🙂  Thankfully, on our third try, we managed to get the entire Hood family in for their session.  I think it was SO worth it!

Big Boy Anthony!

Anthony is my own little version of Prozac.  He is so sweet and cuddly that its impossible to be sad or feel unloved when you are around him!  Now that he has finished his Watch Me Grow plan, I think I will just have to go steal him occasionally to get my fix!

The Barber Boys

Its not that uncommon for a mom to cry when she comes to her order session and sees her images for the first time.  Olyn is totally prepared and has a tissue box handy.  It’s pretty uncommon for images to have that effect on me, but when I saw the images we captured of Kristina and her boys, it really choked me up.  There is so much love in this family, its contagious.  I hope Kristina loves these as much as I do!

The Grauer Family

The Grauer Family first began at Maclay Gardens with their wedding and last week we were lucky enough to capture their first family portrait as a group of four at the same location.  I had to giggle as Miss K. asked me about my wedding and she assumed it had been at the Gardens too.  In her mind, since her mommy and daddy were married there, everyone must have gotten married there too!

Cindy and Robin

Usually we spend close to a year getting to know our couples, but for Cindy and Robin, they booked us less than two weeks before the wedding and we didn’t even meet Robin until the wedding day.  Normally, this would put the OCD in me into overdrive, but both Cindy and Robin are the most laid back, welcoming people you could imagine.  They are the kind of people that within minutes you feel like you have known them forever.  Their wedding really felt the same way– an intimate celebration where the focus was on the union of their families and not on any trivial detail.  I am so thrilled Olyn and I were able to be a part of their day!
