So I first met this family when the mom called me after seeing my website. She noticed (at the time) I had no images of high school seniors BUT she contacted me anyway (LOVE THAT). She said she loved my style and asked if I’d be willing to take her daughter’s senior portraits. OF COURSE! The rest is history…we shot her daughter on their farm and in some urban locations. They were seriously FABULOUS.
THEN she called me a year later to do their family pictures…SO MUCH FUN. One of her son’s was the jokester making everyone laugh, the other well, bless his heart, he’d just come home from LA and lets just say Trendy LA lifestyle and the idea of Family pictures on the farm was NOT on his to-do list. And her daughter…(OK, I love her) but we were laughing that she could only go about 5 minutes without texting “someone”….I even caught a picture of her in the background on the phone.
SUCH a GREAT family!
I know, I have SEVERAL sessions to catch up on. Here’s a recent session with a darling Senior! She did fantastic, even saw a killer spot to take a picture.
Here’s one of little miss Suga Muffin (suga=sugar without the “r”)
Well, I tried three times to create the post below with images AND text…no such luck. So I just wanted to add, this little one year old was darling! She had recently developed a case of stranger anxiety about 3 weeks before our session and I was not on her friend list 
BUT she LOVED her mommy and daddy…so we used them a lot for the giggles and smiles and got some great shots!
Photoshop is finally transferred over to the new hard drive, no thanks to Adobe. Nate said something about being able to find the file that he needed to complete the “upgrade” we’d purchased several years ago. SOOO lovely pictures to come!
Still working on the garage…it is now primed. I also started building a shelf that suspends from the ceiling. Nate helped finish the front and now we need to anchor it to the ceiling. I’d work on that today except that it’s FREEZING outside. No painting until Monday, since it’s supposed to snow tomorrow I think.
I’m still here, still taking pictures….still annoyed with my computer, really more annoyed with Adobe who can’t manage to send us the ability to transfer Photoshop from one hard drive to another. And now I’m completely locked out of Photoshop.
So here’s to projects…painting the garage today
I’d love to update the blog with a new post–which of course means a new picture! But my computer is having issues. The memory is low aka the hard drive is about to crash. Which means Photoshop won’t let me create a new file. A new hard drive has been installed with programs transferred but apparently not quite up and running. I don’t know, Nate’s in charge of that kind of stuff. I just made sure all my images are safely backed up.
I have DARLING images of a little one yo from a recent session and a few more things to share!
Every once in a while I manage to nail it. While this task is pretty effortless when it comes to photographing my clients, it is a challenge like no other when it comes to my OWN little munchkins. They are WAY too familiar with the camera and even more familiar with what NOT to do in front of it. Really, this is only problematic when it comes to trying to get ALL FOUR doing what I want them to do…and of course, I’m SUPER picky…because I’m the one with them mental image of what I want, where I want it to go in my home, how I’m going to frame it etc. My brain is funky that way…I can actually see the general image in my mind, but more importantly HOW I will process it in Photoshop to be just what I want. Often I see what it will look like in black and white while I’m taking it….this was one of those times. I couldn’t be happier! 
OH, these were glorious! These two were my favorite images from this impromptu session. A friend of mine had her baby and I asked if I could take a couple pictures...since my own baby decided not to cooperate when she was first born...should've flown Kara out (STILL regret it!) THEN on the way to my friends house I blew out my tire. And by "blow out" ...I mean create a 3 inch GASH in the side wall.
He was awake most of the time. And konked out just as I was leaving. The light was gone anyway, thanks to that tire delay ;)
