Family Session // The Vaughans

Sarah & her kids are some of my favorite repeat clients.  I began photographing Sarah way back when her little man was a teeny tiny thing… through her pregnancy with Cassette, to the present and everything in between.  She was one of the first people who believed in what I did and just rolled with it as I learned.

Since life is moving by at a breakneck speed for this little family, Sarah decided that photos on a Indian summer’s day were in order.  Since the kids would be less than pristine once we reached the sand, we got a few of the “clean shots” out of the way first…

And then on to the beach!

Almost 2-year-olds tend to get distracted along the way and think the destination might not be all that it’s cracked up to be…

But they recover nicely when told they can finally go play!

When I pointed my camera in his direction, Noe gave me this:

… when he really felt like doing this:

As he wasn’t really in the mood to get sandy and wanted to “gooooo noooow, moooooom,” I just let him do his own thing.  He eventually came around.  Cassette, however, enjoyed every minute of it!

Maternity Session // Mandi is a Hot Mama!

IMG_2974

I recently received an email from a fellow photographer, one who is in the beginning stages of our shared craft.  After exchanging a few emails I suggested we meet… on one condition.  I would tell her all about my journey into photography if she would let me photograph her.  (She is expecting her first little one in the spring.)  I think I got the better end of that stick as Mandi is absolutely gorgeous and willing to do anything to get the shot.  I LOVE it when my clients are also photographers!

We started inside, but quickly moved outdoors when I found out one of her favorite places is a park near her house.  The lighting was less than ideal, but we got creative and used some trees to our advantage.

Thank you, Mandi, for letting me share the afternoon with you, talk shop, and for being as excited as I am about natural light. :)  Can’t wait to meet the little one!
