I had a great time with all these kids at my summer mini-session!  It was darn HOT (I’m talking 105 in the shade…) so they were all troopers!  I, on the other hand, looked like I jumped in a lake by the end!  Sorry to those who came later and had to witness that!  :)  I got some great shots of everyone… and even got the quads to all look at me and smile (AT THE SAME TIME!)….   It was fun to have some new clients join in on one of these crazy mini-sessions!!  I don’t think the moms knew what they were in for!  :)

ENJOY and the proofs will be ready for you all in a few weeks (after I catch up on summer sessions from my trip!)…. phew… better get busy!

One more thing:  There are only three spots left in the fall/holiday mini sessions… and right now, I am not going to add anymore!  So– anyone who has contacted me asking about them better book soon!

I’m sure you all remember Lucy as a newborn… she is the one who slept the entire time and gave me a taste of what is possible in the world of newborns when they cooperate!  Well… Lucy just turned one!  I’ve had the pleasure of photographing her many times along this year-long journey and it’s been a ball!  She is adorable… and her mommy has been hoping for some photos with actual smiles for a long time… and I guess she just wanted to wait until she was one to make them even more special, because we got a lot of smiles!  (Thanks mostly to her daddy!… I can’t take the credit this time).

ENJOY:

Here she was as a beautiful newborn:

And now as an adorable 1 year old:

One year old & turrquoise!  :)

Love when parents bring along adorable props!

I know Lucy’s parents are dying to see some pics… so more are coming tonight.  Here is one to hold you over!  ENJOY!

These three girls were SOOO easy… even little Livi.  She just followed her two older sisters’ lead.  It was adorable.  There was a storm coming, so we rushed to get these pictures in and then the storm went somewhere else, so we got to hang out more!  My kids LOVED these girls… they played games they have never played before and are still asking with they are coming back!

I’ve known their Mommy (and Daddy!) forever…. it’s so much fun photographing kids of parents I grew up with!  I need to come back to Michigan more often because I really love and miss all these friends!  OR… you could come visit us in Texas– and I’d probably take a few pictures for you! 

I hope you love this preview!  Great seeing you all!

PS… I will not be responding to emails until I return to Texas (August 8th)… so please call my cell phone if it is urgent!  I’ll update my blog if we have an internet connection!

ENJOY:

I put one of the pictures from this session up last night… but here are a few more!  As many moms do, this mom worried that I didn’t get any good shots because they were a tad bit late, a litte bit frazzled and a tiny bit shy… I told her she had nothing to worry about… and I think I was right! 

ENJOY!
