Dapper Dude.

… how about that for a dose of handsome:)I think people were questioning my switch from full sessions down to mini sessions for families (which of course are stackable if needed) – but it just goes to show you, sometimes it only takes a few minutes to find the magic (and a fun family). It was a pleasure to meet you three!

I’ve been shooting a same location the last few times I’ve been out. It’s just a public park, nothing fancy. But when the sun sets through the trees it just makes this beautiful filtered colorful light that I cant get enough of. No matter how many times I go back, each session still looks unique to me. Unsure that I will tire of it, any time soon, I suppose I will keep going back for now:)

That’s all for now, enjoy.

up.

I’ve photographed this family since Carter was born, and the second baby is just as gorgeous as the first.  Such a difference though for Zoe’s cake smash – she was a little lady and just crouched down to take bites, at her big brother’s on the other hand? He sat in his:)  It got pretty chilly around 7 (of course!) but the breeze died down and we had a lot of varing sunlight colors coming in – each photo is so unique in that the light changes so quickly a that hour. Instead of trying to “make them all look the same”, I’ve embraced just letting them be and I’m much happier letting go of that “control”.  This session was a combo of a first birthday celebration and family session so I have quite a few images to filter through, but I was diggin all the color so much and with it being kind of drab out today, I thought it appropriate to post:)

Lot’s going on – the new space is getting framed in as I type this, the Mother’s Day event (see two posts prior for info or find it on DLP’s facebook) seems to be growing, and I have a package in the grand auction tonight at the CEDF Auction.  I probably shouldnt admit I’m horrified over this… but I am.  I hope it brings in some change for the schools – but I do not like bright lights and stuff so I’m staying away from the auction tonight in the event it begins and no one bids, I dont have to be publicly humiliated. Blargh.  Does this exhibit a lack of confidence? Sorry – I am human after all!

Have a great weekend, I think I’ve responded to everyone who’s inquired about sessions – if I missed you, nudge me. I never intend it.

samantha - OMG! Love the pictures! Can’t believe she is 1! Carter is such a helpful big brother. They look so cute. Love the hot air balloon!

…and then it happened…

The Holland’s were my second family in town for Easter from the Columbus area and they rounded out my saturday evening. I had the chance to photograph them a few years ago and hadn’t seen them since – the first image, she was just SO LITTLE to me last time I saw her, and now she looks so grown up.

Her older sister wasn’t too interested back then, nor was she saturday to have her photo taken but we reached a breakthrough after a chit chat (and a bit of a bargain I held mom to) and then THAT happened. T. has NO IDEA how gorgeous she is – she smiled and her whole face just lit right up. I hope she loves this portrait of herself. Sometimes it’s hard to see in the mirror what everyone tells you sometimes… I am a firm believer that everyone needs a nice portrait of themselves as a reminder of just how lovely you really are. I wasnt certain I was going to get one of these amazing expressions from her and then it just happened. I felt joy for her.

Some might be curious if, for the limited timeframe the family mini’s run if “the magic” still happens – and judging by the laughter going on here, I think it goes without saying:)

Thank you to Mom for bringing you and your beautiful girls to see me while you were here, I’ll have the rest of your images in a short time.

Have a fantastic end to the week everyone, see below again about information regarding the mothers day event for this year, please!

Smiles in my pocket

The Gohrings were in all the way from NJ to visit family for Easter, and I couldnt have been happier that the weather was beautiful for the two sessions I had on saturday evening. I had to toss big brother a few smiles from my pocket after his patience began to wear thin, but they worked and we filled our mini session right up! I will post a few from my other session that day soon as well, too.
