Another V Family

I get to photograph so many cool families! Working with multiple children under the age of five is always a fun challenge. These kids made my job easy, seriously. They were so full of life, loving, smiley, and also very good listeners! It's always interesting to watch parents in a photo session situation...it can be stressful, because everyone wants to get good images. But it helps SO much when the parents are laid back and not uptight about it! These parents were just that...letting kids be kids, being silly with them, and making it a good time for everyone. Just what a photo shoot should be. I think the photos show it.

The V Family

Sarah's dad and my dad are friends from college---so we grew up knowing each other...we would visit their enchanted cabin up in the mountains in Colorado. They would see us when they came to boring Michigan :). Now, I get to take care of her kids (mostly the younger one, the older is in school) every few weeks while she works. What fun! They are such great, sweet kids. And they're expecting baby brother or sister #3 in just a few weeks! So we had to snap a few photos.

Aren't they all just so beautiful? And I'm really not biased on this one, really. Really, I'm not. Just look at them!

And I had to include this first photo to begin. Rowan might have just an eensy teeny weeny crush on this boy. Maybe. I'm not one to encourage such things among kids, but be honest...wouldn't YOU have just a little teeny crush on this fella?

The G Family

I love photographing young families. What a challenge! But so much fun. Anytime you have multiple children under the age of 5, you have to be prepared for anything! How cute are these two little brothers? And they were both so sweet and obedient...it's always a nice surprise when a shoot with two little boys goes along so calmly! Thanks in no small part to calm, laid-back parents.

I always think that my clients are good-looking when I photograph them...but then when I'm editing, I often seem to be struck again at the beauty and diversity of the human face. The eyes on these little fellas! I just get lost.

Are you tired of seeing photos of my nephew yet? I just can't help myself--both from taking his photos and from posting them here! The camera LOVES this little guy, let me tell you. We did a very impromptu shoot in my living room last weekend when my sister was in town...and got a few winners.

Are you kidding me? I can't take it! I want to kiss those little lips!
