A purple hat and amazing curls

Posted on March 4, 2010

Little kids are the best to photograph in my eyes. They may not always do what you ask them but you can see their true self in each frame. Part of having pictures taken when your kids are small is to document who they are. They will not sit still, may not smile and more than likely will try to run off before I am done. But that is life and those little things make the pictures that much better.

Baby Izzie had this amazing purple hat on for our photo shoot. Purple is my favorite color so I was so excited to see her and her sister, Rian, in this color. Izzie was pretty much bald under the hat (another one of my favorites, bald babies) but sister Rian has the most delicious curls you have ever seen. Just picture her running and all those curls bouncing up and down; so sweet.

Kim and Bo, you have one beautiful family; thank you for letting me spend the morning with you and your girls.

How is it possible that it’s 2010? Where on earth did last year go?

This is my first post for the new year. Feels good to get back to taking pictures. I took most of December off. Needed the break to recharge my batteries and reconnect with my family. November was crazy, but in a good way. I will be doing a few things differently this year than last, but I will post about that at a later time.

The day after Christmas I had a session with a great family. It was nice to get out of the house for a bit and photography a wonderful group. The sun was out but the temperature was low. I feel sorry at times when I am out side bundled up in 5 layers with gloves; I am asking people to sit on the freezing ground and look as if it were 70 degrees out. I think they did a pretty darn good job pulling it off. I didn’t hear one complaint!

I am loving the light in this pic!

Yep, I so wanted to post all the pictures from this session but didn’t think 40+ images would fit in one post. This family is beautiful!!!

They decided to get together and have a “family portrait” taken for their parents for Christmas. I so wish I could see the mom’s face on Christmas morning when she unwraps this present. As a mom, I think this is one of the best gifts that one could get. How thoughtful; taking the time out to get all the siblings together and making this happen. This will be a top gift for mom (and dad) for many years to come.

Not only are these kids cute they are super nice and down to earth. We had a bit of a walk during our session and it was fun to get to know them. If I had a chance, I would love to talk to their parents and ask them what their secret is; how do you raise kids to turn out this good?
