I HEART FACES

I JUST COULDN'T RESIST PARTICIPATING IN THIS WEEKS IHEARTFACES THEME "COMPLETELY CANDID". AFTERALL SO MANY OF MY OUT TAKES ARE JUST THAT, CANDID. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO CHILDREN, THEY CREATE THE SILLIEST MOMENTS PUTTING HUGE SMILES ON MY FACE EVERY TIME I LOOK AT THEM.

WELL I DID HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION BECAUSE I HAD QUITE A FEW. THIS WAS MY CHOICE BECAUSE IT'S CRAZY HILARIOUS!

JUST A BEAUTIFUL CHILD

SUNDAY I HAD THE PLEASURE OF PHOTOGRAPHING THIS YOUNG LADY, WHOM IS ALSO KIRA'S COUSIN! NOT ONLY DO I THINK SHE'S GORGEOUS, BUT AFTER 200 PHOTOS, THE ONLY ONES THAT DIDN'T COME OUT WERE THE ONES WHERE I FORGOT TO CHANGE MY SETTINGs.

WE HAD SO MUCH FUN, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE SWITCHED GEARS FROM FORMAL TO ROCKER CHICK:)) SO THIS IS A SNEEK PEEK, THE REST IS A SURPRISE FOR HER MOMMY AND DADDY!

THANK YOU SWEETIE, YOU A GORGEOUS MODEL AND ONE AMAZING COUSIN TO KIRA. SHE LOVES YOU AND SO DO I.

KEEP TUMBLING AND HMMM, MAYBE A CAREER IN MODELING:))







NOW THE FUN BEGAN!





ANOTHER SNEEK PEEK!



This is just one of my favorites because I was able to apply this cool texture to the photo.



Just loved photographing her:)) Even her most casual poses are superb! Must be that pretty FACE! Mwaaaaaaaaaah!

BACK TO COLLEGE

THESE TWO SIBLINGS ARE PROBABLY THE MOST CAMERA SHY KIDS I'VE EVER MET! AND BELIEVE ME, I'VE KNOWN THEM THEIR ENTIRE LIVES...THEY'RE MY NIECE AND NEPHEW!

I DRAGGED THEM TO THE BEACH AND AN EMPTY MANSION TO GET SOME QUICK PICS. THE SUNSET WAS SPECTACULAR, BUT WE GOT CAUGHT UP SHOOTING NEAR THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING FOR MORE OF AN URBAN LOOK. I HEARD LAUGHTER AND SAW THE SMILES, GEE, I THINK THEY LIKED BEING MY MODELS FOR THE EVENING!












I JUST LOVE THIS PIC, SHOWS THEIR RELAXED ATTITUDES WHEN THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO POSE. OH HOW HAPPY YOU GUYS MADE ME BY LETTING ME TAKE YOUR PHOTOS. I SHOT MORE PICS IN AN HOUR THAN I DID OVER THE LAST DECADE OF YOU BOTH!

HAVE FUN IN COLLEGE AND STUDY HARD(LY) LOL.

ENJOY THE PHOTOS.

SUMMER FUN

How quickly the summer is flying by! While I've been busy photographing toddlers and tweens, I realized I haven't taken any good photos of my darling tot...so here she is having fun and actually looking straight at the camera for a change. Hmmm must have tired her out that day:))





MY TOES ARE YUMMY!

MOMMA'S BABES

EVERY TIME I PHOTOGRAPH A CHILD, MY HEART JUST SINGS! IT GIVES ME A CHANCE TO CAPTURE SPECIAL MOMENTS AT PLAY, WITH SIBLINGS AND FAMILY OR JUST SIMPLY BEING THEMSELVES.

THESE LITTLE DARLINGS PUT ON QUITE A SHOW and I was able to capture these amazing faces. ALL THREE ARE SO PHOTOGENIC, AND DAWN, I JUST COULDN'T LEAVE YOU OUT BECAUSE YOU WERE HOLDING MR. M. WHAT GREAT EXPRESSIONS!

DARLING SIBLINGS

JUST FINISHED EDITING A FEW PHOTOS FROM A RECENT PHOTO SHOOT WITH TWO YOUNG SWEETIES. WHAT FUN! THE OLDER SISTER HAS A KNACK FOR POSING AND WANTED TO DO HER OWN THING WHICH WAS FINE BY ME BECAUSE IT MADE FOR SOME ADORABLY CUTE PHOTOS. HER BABY SISTER WASN'T THAT INTERESTED, BUT MANAGED TO SMILE, COO AND LAUGH TILL SHE GOT HUNGRY!
I COULD HAVE PHOTOGRAPHED THEM FOR HOURS IF THEY WEREN'T TIRED AND EXHAUSTED IN THE HEAT! THANK GOODNESS FOR BIG SHADY TREES!
