I am so happy to have seen some warm and dry days over the recent weeks to photograph outside.   Keeping up with kids that are zipping around the park is one of my favorite challenges.  As the weather turns, the realization that people want to schedule photos seems to kick in.  So if you haven’t yet gotten on my summer/fall calendar please call soon to get the best scheduling options.

I have had the pleasure of working with this family since their oldest daughter (pictured above) was just tiny.  Now she is all grown up and such a good big sister to her 2 younger sibling.  Keeping up with her brother was a challenge as he was constantly on the move (very typical for a 2 year old boy).  Giving him a stick to play with slowed him down enough to capture some fun shots of him.  

You have got to love this little cutie.  She is adorable.

Once again, keeping the little guy in the vicinity of the camera required the use of some distraction…this time it was pine cones.

And of course, with a 2 year old you can’t always have smiles.  I couldn’t help but giggle at his pouty face.  Thankfully my face was hidden behind the camera so he didn’t see. 

One of the great joys in my work is watching my brides and grooms become parents.  To see how they transform from the time when I saw them last is remarkable.  For those who have followed my blog for a few years, you will remember Britni & Rashawd’s April 2008 wedding.  Their wedding was filled with such joy and there was so much love between them their photos were electric.  Well, meet their little one, Tinsley.  She has the beauty of both parents and was a delight to photograph.  Congratulations!
