Best friends return

What better subjects to practice on then your children and their friends?  Ginny, Tori and I headed to the Capitol building for some indoor photos.  Thankfully the weather cooperated for about 15 minutes and let us head outdoors as well.  These girls are great!
Ginny kept telling me to say things to her to make her laugh.  So, I told her that Tori smelled bad.  Ginny found it hillarious, Tori, not so much so!
 I love that you can see her eyes smiling here!
My favorite picture from that day.  Completely natural and no editing required!

I schedule another shoot for Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. The weather was looking iffy so we planned on going to the Capitol where we could take some pictures both indoors and outdoors if the weather cooperated.  It seems that luck was on our side as the weather stayed clear and allowed us to head outside.  As if that wasn't lucky enough, the Capitol's Christmas Tree was up!

Could he be any cuter?  He was completely in love with the ornament.  Dad was a little worried he was going to pull down the tree, but it made for great photos!  Following our shots around the Capitol building we headed outdoors where he had more room for run.  If I went one way with the camera, he was heading the other!
We didnt' let that stop us from capturing some great images, although it wasn't hard with such a handsome little man!

Thank you Sandra for allowing me to the capture a few brief moments in this little man's life!  I look forward to many more years of watching him grow!

The Photography Begins!

Well, I just stumbled upon a fellow church mates blog about failure and it made me realize my own failure, my BLOG! I was so sure I could start it and keep up on it, but clearly that didn't happen. So I start it for a whole new reason, to help assist and talk about my latest endeavor of family photography! I am hoping to make a go and have tried a few photo shoots so far. There are many reasons why I have decided to do this. Ultimately, I want to be able to capture special moments for everyone I can. I have had the opportunity so far to do a couple of shoots.

One was for Miss Harmony. She is just about a week younger than Emilia. I don't think there has ever been a time when I didn't see her on a mission, with lots of smiles, and full of energy, except the day of our photo shoot.  It seems that one year olds are very shy in front of the camera, or perhaps it is the strange woman following them around ;)  We caught a couple of smiles, but even those pictures that didn't show her adorable grin will provide precious memories for years to come.  Can't wait to see her grow into a gorgeous young lady!


My next photo adventures was with my oldest daughter Anna and her best friend Gabi. It was rainy and dreary but we still had a lot of fun in the fall leaves at Falls Terrace. These two girls have been best friends for nearly 6 years, I can only hope they will be there for one another for years to come!


I also snapped a couple of photos of my two other beautiful daughters, yes I am a bit partial.
