Here are some photos I captured of my two– Tinkerbell & Peterpan.  They were not in the costumes they will be wearing trick-or-treating… but they fell into character anyway!   This might be the last year I can convince them to “coordinate” their costumes… so I am enjoying it as much as possible!

It finally feels like fall in Texas!  I will be taking the weekend off of EVERYTHING— no photo sessions and probably no editing.  We have a special visitor in town and lots of fun things planned!… so if you are waiting for proofs or an email or anything– it will probably be early next week before you hear from me!  My Tinkerbell & Peter need my full attention (especially since I will be Wendy come Sunday… and my husband will be Captain Hook and my sister will be a big alligator!)… I’m sure I’ll post a picture of that too.  Remember the crayons from last year?  :)

ENJOY:

I loved photographing this little girl.  Her mom and I hit it off right away– had a lot in common, which makes for a fun session.  I normally try to get the moms to leave the room, but we were talking too much to get that accomplished!  Anyway… Ainsley was almost 4 weeks old in these shots… but somehow we lulled her to sleep like we do with the one weekers and got what we were after!  It was fun photographing a little baby who was so alert– and then fun to try to get her to sleep!  :)

She’s a doll… congrats to her lucky parents!  ENJOY:

  • 1 Susan Will: Gorgeous pictures! Wonderful job of capturing the best moments of this precious little baby girl and of her family. (27.10.10, 04:07PM)
  • 2 Georgette Evans aka "Tyta": You've done an absolutely stunning and amazing job with these pictures of my beautiful granddaughter Ainsley and my daughter, Julie and Ryan. Big thumbs up on your tremendous talent! You've definitely captured the love within this family. (28.10.10, 03:55PM)

I just love photographing twins… even when one of them really doesn’t want her picture taken!  :)  We were after a good family shot– and we for sure got a few of those!  I loved the conversion to black and white in these, so I added them all into a storyboard.  Enjoy!

  • 1 Debbie & Chris: These look great! We weren't sure our daughter would have anything close to a smile that morning, so you did a great job. (27.10.10, 09:52PM)

I met up with these boys before school one morning in Chicago.  It was a beautiful fall day– and I couldn’t have had more fun with these guys.  The moment I saw this sidewalk I knew I had to do their photo session here… it was right in front of their school and had beautiful yellow leaves everywhere.  I love the result and I hope their parents do too!  The boys were so silly and goofy the whole time… and although I don’t know them well, I think this is their personality most of the time– so hopefully, we captured their true essence.  Mommy, of course, thought I probably wasn’t getting much since they were running and jumping (and tickling and playing)… but we’ll prove her wrong!  :)

ENJOY:

The weather last weekend was absolutely incredible… in Chicago.  Fall temps, beautiful changing trees and FUN clients!  Loved every second of it!  Here is a preview… I’ll post a few more of the two brothers together because their session cracked me up!  So silly and fun to photograph!  True boys!
