oh so silly! {i heart faces}

January 31, 2012

My poor children.  Many a Saturday morning I wake up excited for my plan of trying a new setting and new ideas with my camera on my children.  I pull out outfits for them while singing and smiling and dreaming of the fun in store for the day.  And then they realize what I am doing.  And the groaning and crying begins.  I remind them how it always turns out to be way more fun than they think it is going to be and that if they are good, maybe I’ll have a special treat waiting for them.  They reluctantly get in the car and go along with my shananigans, and I love them for it ;-) … though I’m not sure they would say the same!  This shoot was a short and sweet one, their favorite kind, and we let off a little steam and got a little crazy.  And sometimes that is just my favorite.

    These are the best kinds of pictures, when they can be themselves, and a part of their personalities shines through. :) I love the color in this picture, and they sure are cute! Oh, and silly! Thank you for leaving a comment on my post!

Another gorgeous family… of whom I just happen to be related to ;) .  If you know my hubby, you can see that this guy looks almost identical to him!

The leaves were just perfect at our session — plenty on the trees for gorgeous backgrounds, plenty on the ground to sit in and throw around… love it!  And love this family!

Little K Man was sure full of energy on the day of our shoot.  So we walked around the pond, found sticks, chased bugs, jumped through bubbles, slid down the big red slide, and even got snuggles from Grandma.  So, that sounds like a great day to me!  And I would definitely need some nuggets and a nap after all that.  For sure.

What is with those dimples and eyelashes??  Look out world.

What a sweet family this is.  We had to reschedule our shoot because it rained all day, and we were a little worried we weren’t going to be able to sneak the session in before the big move to Chicago, but the next day was GORGEOUS and the skies were AMAZING!  Yay for rainy-day makeup photo sessions!!

These boys CRACK ME UP.  They are all so different.  You can tell just by their poses and facial expressions.

And really, with 3 young boys in the house, you have to let some crazy go every once in awhile, no?

I love capturing moments that seem like the subjects didn’t even realize I was there.  Like this one… ;)

I believe this may be my favorite of the day…

Cooper Family, we miss you guys!!  Keep that Cub Scout spirit fired up and never stop laughing.
