No rain, no rainbows!

So I planned to meet the S Family for a little family session at the beach! However, the sky had other plans…

We took a few, but then the heavens opened. It actually turned out kind of awesome because it made a spectacular rainbow (which of course I took advantage of), but since their lovely outfits were spotted with raindrops, we decided to reschedule. Here’s what I got from the 20 minutes I spent with them!

 

 

 

 

As far as things going wrong, this was fantastic and actually really fun. It’s just another day in the life of a photographer! Do whatcha gadda do. Every day is a new exciting challenge.
We’ll see what our next session brings!

Family Time!

The holidays are the best times for family fun. I decided to take advantage of everyone being here and the beautiful sunset we were having. There is this beautiful tree right on the edge of what we call the Little Beach (it’s actually the Sound, not the Ocean so it’s shallow and warm and quiet). We love to take the boys there. We had fun! It was a great learning experience for sunset shots, since I’m used to shooting in the morning, inside, by a window. The boys are already getting so big! You all remember Grayson, only 2 months ago I was shooting this sleepy guy’s newborn session and here he is almost as big as Jesse. I can’t believe it.
I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful 4th!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More Sneak Peek!

Here are a few more sneak peeks for Evitt!

Adorable hat made with love from Grandma!

 

He is so sweet, this picture makes me want to take a nap. Maybe it’s because Jesse woke up 4 times last night…

And just for fun, I made this storyboard of instagram pictures:

I have another session tomorrow! I’ve realized I get editing withdrawl if I don’t have another session for a week or so. I sit at my computer and wonder what I need to do, wanting to edit some pictures or post some sneak peeks, but I don’t have any EmiB work to do, so I just end up wasting time on pinterest or facebook. 🙂 which is ok to do sometimes too.

Wanting to do work is actually a really nice feeling, because I LOVE what I do.

Something I’ve Never Done

Fun story about how this little guy entered my life simply four days ago (which doesn’t seem like a lot, but he was only 9 days old at the time, so we have to give him a little credit). Evitt and his mama Jessica came to a breastfeeding meeting I go to once a month. I was drooling from the moment I saw her holding that little bundle in her arms. She introduced herself and Evitt and all I could say was, “I have to photograph your baby!” Normally I wouldn’t just walk up to someone I had never met and say such a thing, but we all laughed and she was interested, so we set a date and here he is!
Beautiful Evitt only 11 days old.

 

Big brother Dylan was hanging out too and I couldn’t help myself.

 

I also saw this and I think it’s perfect for me.
I’m kind of a routine type of gal, comfortable with what she knows. I also know of a lot of things I don’t have yet (if anyone has seen my pinterest boards, you know!) including a huge lovely kitchen, an in-home photography studio and things like that. If I had stayed where I was, doing what I was doing, I would never get those things. I’m learning to step out into a brave new place, ask new questions and try new things. It’s the excitement of seeing where these new roads will take me that keep me from getting scared and turning back. I’m so glad I asked Jessica because with every session, I’m learning something new and I also have these beautiful memories for this family to cherish!

I dare you all to go out and try something you’ve never done and see where it takes you. (Now I’m not liable for anything you do that’s illegal or dangerous! Let’s be smart about this guys!)

Sneak Peek!

Here’s a sneak peek of little Alex! He had those adorable falling asleep twitches that Jesse had, and I took complete advantage of those quick smiles. He was probably dreaming about Mommy and that yummy milk as he was falling asleep. Absolutely precious moments. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to capture these moments. I’m learning first hand how fast time goes!

This adorable hat was made by {My Sweet Knittings}

Alex’s brother Cristian was around for the session, I tricked him into getting in front of the camera for a few fun pictures.

I had a lot of fun with these guys. 🙂 Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!
