2 boys and a doll

I am skipping ahead with this particular sneak peek, and the reason is to show a sample family storyboard.   My dear Friend has her hands full with these 2 boys!  luckily this little doll is tough enough to stand up to the rodeo! 

 I have been shooting this family for over 4 years, possibly longer.   All three are very comfortable

with me behind the camera.  

 I will be adding to your gallery tomorrow.

*about the story board, the size is  20x20.  This is a large square print with each individual photo 5x7.

A three in one day... Part 2-sneak peek

Sweetness! 

This little girl was very happy to have her photo taken, as long as she didn't have to share the blue polka dotted chair!   she was  my 2nd 3 year old of the day.  The girls really loved this chair, I need a few of those to shove in my camera bag!    She is  adorned with my firefly jewelry line,  and will definitely be used as one of my firefly website models.    Enjoy the sneak peeks, your gallery will be published at the end of this week.

posting soon,  part 3- sneak peek

a three in one day... Part 1-sneak peek

This is  first of the children's portrait sessions, We did 3 families in one day...  not to mention 3 three year olds in one day!  I always enjoy the challenge of shooting 3 year olds, they do not like to to look at the camera very long!  ok,  really they are done after 5 minutes!   I will capture them, I will!  

Having a  7 1/2, 5 1/2, and 2 year old,  I know something about the 3's... in my opinion the hardest age to capture, but the most rewarding.    

I adore this family, they are very sweet and I loved shooting at their home.

I will post to your gallery in the next couple days.

Hi Family!

 Your gallery will be up soon..    I think Grandma Joan will be happy!    

This beautiful family came in from Colorado, I really enjoyed my afternoon with them.

I could not contain myself when it came to shooting baby "N",  she is so beautiful!  

She looks so much like her mother, lucky girl!   I also captured her playing with tons

of firefly kids jewelry...   I really could not stop photographing her.

 your password will be e-mailed to you Monday.  

 See you next year!

Santa party sneak peeks!

As I arrived to the marvelous santa party, (25 minutes late!)  Just in time to be rushed into the room where Santa or "Santa's helper" ( according to my 7 year old)  was sitting with eager little ones on his lap.   The smiles and tears reminded me of being a kid,  wanting so badly for the magic to be real.   I  believed reindeers could fly...  It is the spirit of Christmas that lasts forever,  we create magic in our own lives everyday.    

The photos I am excited about are not the kids sitting  on Santa's lap, they are the portraits that will remain a treasure forever..  Capturing the innocence, and pure love that comes from within your child.  Thanks for sharing your little ones with me,  the excitement of life shines through their eyes.  Priceless

Check back on Tuesday I will have updated your gallery.

Enjoy the sneak peeks!

Oh, I need to add that I thought Santa

Claus did an amazing job the entire day!

He had a twinkle in his eye, and a huge smile for everyone of your children. Thank you!!
