Sooo, alot of my clients ask about my kids and why I don't have any big pictures of them on the wall. I thought I'd just show you rather than try to explain.
Me: "Ok boys let try to take a REALLY good picture for Mommy. I want to put a big one on my wall!! Ready?"
"Ok wait...wait....no just sit still for a minute....
"Alright this isn't working. Let's try something different. We'll put Ashton in the chair so he doesn't run away."
"Aidan, it's ok, you can sit in the chair next time..."
"Yeah, Ok this isn't working either. Let's try sitting on the floor again..."
(this is the...MOM...are we DONE yet look HA HA)
"Ok sit right there....but wait, No...No, don't squeeze your brother quite so hard."
"OK STOP. Try just one hand around him."
"AIDAN WILL YOU JUST BE NICE AND TAKE A PICTURE!?!?! Tell your Brother Sorry and then just sit nice!"
(ARE WE HAVING FUN YET??????)
"Ok, Jamie (my husband) you need to come here and try to make them behave."
(he starts dancing around like an idiot behind me...)
Not EXACTLY what I had in mind, but cute and seriously at this point....I'd take what I can get HA HA. Now maybe you'll understand why I don't do sessions with my own kids often ;) It's fun when the rowdy kids are someone elses HA HA! I think alot of people with a few young kids can relate! I suppose this is why I always say getting a nice picture together is SO hard. It's difficult to get both kids looking (and sitting still, not to mention smiling etc) at the same time. Needless to say, I enjoy doing portraits of each boy alone MUCH better LOL. Here are a few of my favorites!
Little Aidan...It's a good thing he's so cute because he is CRAZY!
The baby is a little more reserved!
He was also OVER this whole picture thing at this point so this is all I got of him. Oh well. Another day maybe??? Remind me to have a few drinks first, ok?
Here are my boys walking. I got this blown up for my wall ;)
This was a fun studio session. It's nice when the kids are so easy to work with (unlike my own LOL).
This is my friends baby. I think she is just gorgeous! Her Mom and I chatted so much before her session started that she got kind of crabby on us. We still managed to get some cute shots though :)
This little guy is a repeat client. We decided to do an outdoor session so he could run and play and be himself. He is BUSY but he sure is fun to photograph!!!
I did an on location family session for this group. We did family shots first but the individual stuff is always my favorite because I love capturing each childs personality. Stunning family, huh!
Keep an eye out for this next face! She's an AWESOME singer/songwriter and we did some shots for her demo CD cover. I told her I was going to put her on my 'Senior' website because she's so pretty ;) Her husband has been in Iraq for 2 years and is FINALLY coming home this week!
Here's another gorgeous family that I photographed on location. The kids were SO good. I really enjoyed them. The littlest boy even cried when I left because we got to be friends ;) SO CUTE!!!!!
I really love this image for some reason...
And LAST but not least...meet a sweet little baby girl. I really wanted to take her home. She was sooo good! We got sleeping AND awake pictures wich is always awesome...
Thanks for looking :)
