I went through some older pictures to find one that had a lot of “blue” for the http://www.iheartfaces.com contest this week … and found this one.  I had originally thought I’d put up one of my infamous “blue-eyed” baby pictures, but this one cracks me up– and has a lot of blue!  ENJOY:

  • 1 Stephanie: I love this one too! (29.09.09, 04:09PM)
  • 2 molly davis: I so love this photo and his outfit! (29.09.09, 05:55PM)
  • 3 Amanda: Beautiful image. I love everything about it! (30.09.09, 05:28AM)
  • 4 Life with Kaishon: What a great capture of lots of blue : ) LOVE it! (01.10.09, 12:18PM)
  • 5 Becca: I LOVE this picture! So fun and just adorable - love the bright colors :-) (01.10.09, 06:19PM)
  • 6 Mandy: I love your blog! It's so bright and colorful. I wish I knew how you did it. LOL. I think your blog is a true inspiration! Thank you. (02.10.09, 04:48PM)

There is something about this picture that I just love… I only took a few photos of this little girl at her parents’ BBQ— and she wasn’t sure who I was, so her look is so innocent to me.  ENJOY:

  • 1 Life with Kaishon: Seriously sensational eyes. SO pretty. she is a doll! (01.10.09, 12:18PM)
  • 2 Becca: oh my gorgeous. (01.10.09, 06:20PM)
  • 3 Sudy Zane: Gorgeous pictures. This one is my favorite. I got your site from Emily Grady who has been my friend since 7th grade. I love Molly's and Grady's photos, too. (16.10.09, 11:03PM)

If you have followed my blog for very long, you will recognize these angels.  I’ve photographed them many, many times and their mom has been one of my biggest supporters and friend since the start of this whole photography adventure!   Well, these two darlings were in a wedding this summer, but they didn’t get any pictures of them all dolled up that they were in love with… so she asked me if I could have a mini-session  in their cute wedding attire… and how could I possibly say no to that?  They looked ADORABLE… and despite the fact that little Makena really wanted nothing to do with my camera this time (maybe my new brown hair was throwing her off?)… I managed to get some great shots in a very small amount of time!

ENJOY:

  • 1 Stephanie: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM!!!! I am never sure how you manage to come out of a 15-minute session with my two with such wonderful shots. Thank you for taking time out of your day to do these for us. I am so proud of how much you have accomplished with your photography since the beginning and even more proud to have shared in it with you. Did I say how much I love these? xoxo Stef (24.09.09, 07:07PM)

And… such sweetie pies, too!  I just love their curly locks and beautiful eyes!  We had a lot of fun… jumped off of rocks, looked for frogs, tossed sticks in the pond– and took lots of fun pictures!!   We ended the session with a game of “Camera-tag”– but I’m still not sure of what the rules were.  All I know is that there was lots of running from my camera, screaming and laughing– so I guess I was playing it right!  ENJOY:
