The Jack & Will Show – July (7.5 months)

Kristina — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 14:34:51 +0000

This month’s Jack & Will Show was quite possibly the best one yet. I have to extend a big thank you to the “team” that I had helping me, which was comprised of 2 woman (ensuring safety), one man (ensuring laughs) and one 3rd grade girl (ensuring bubbles). Oh, and 2 dogs (ensuring barking and herding).

I am off to photograph Monica & Todd’s wedding today, so I am out of the loop… stay tuned for images tomorrow or Monday!

Jack & Will – The Family Session

Kristina — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 19:29:03 +0000

To say I was excited to look through these images is an understatement. I had them uploading before I even let Owen know I was home. I enthusiastically encouraged him to go to Home Depot while Janey napped so I could publish this sneak peak. And I uploaded them to the blog so that I could sneak looks at them in the kitchen and write this post while pretending to make lunch for the kids.

I was really excited to include the entire family in this month’s session. I think it just adds just and awesome dimension… and let’s be honest, you all wanted to see their beautiful parents too, didn’t you? I love that these little guys have a blog following of all their own! I think it’s awesome that I show up to sessions and clients will say “so tell me more about Jack & Will… how are they doing?” Anyway, I just love the captures of the boys and their mom. She is not only beautiful, but really lovely. And I could not have been more excited about her dress. How excellent is it? Love.

I think I have mentioned that Jack & Will live on a gorgeous farm. As they get older and we explore more, you will no doubt see more and more of it. I have figured out something fabulous or our July session… and also for our November/One Year session… just need to get the wheels turning and put it in motion!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Father’s Days. Owen has done enough yard work and pool cleaning to deserve a little cocktail, and I might just have to join him (especially since I just drove by a van that had “it’s 5:00 somewhere” written on the back windshield). My kind of peeps.

The Jack & Will Show – May

Kristina — Mon, 24 May 2010 20:18:33 +0000

I am blogging out of order… I should be posting the two very awesome families I met on Saturday… or something about workshops… but I Carolyn needs a little fix of her boys because she’s out of town for a few days. When I used to travel for work, I simply loved staying in hotels… I loved having room service in a totally clean room, sleeping in a bit and not having to clean up after myself, or anyone else! But I’d wake up a few times at night wondering where my babies were… and take off and landing of the airplane would put me into a terror. I am a great flier, but there is just something about being a parent and flying without your children that can make you sick in a totally new way. So for Carolyn, who is out of town, here are your boys!

These two just get yummier each time I see them. They can really sit up now and Will is totally scooting around on his belly! Sort of like you put him down on hardwoods, turn your back, and he’s pushed back about 3 feet and facing the other direction! I got a bunch of shots of them together this time… and we went outside! I know some of the riding moms here in town want to see inside the barn, but I only put them at the entrance… maybe around 9 months we’ll put them to work in the actual stables.

I also took the opportunity to get them in front of the beyond fabulous graffiti on the barn… courtesy of their dad on their parent’s wedding day. When I first moved to town I thought “I am in love with that barn with the heart… wouldn’t it be amazing to photograph it…” I never imagined I actually would and that these two guys would be my models!

Next month is going to be a family session, so I am beyond excited to plan that!

Can you believe I made her wait so long?

I can’t. Shame on me because you know how I love these sessions. This is the April installment of the Jack & Will Show. Technically, I am right on time because it’s only two weeks from the session date, but usually I at least hook up Carolyn with a sneak peak!

So here is our sneak peak from April with a gallery and uploaded Facebook albums (and a canvas display wall diagram) all coming at you! It might be fun for you to see my logic in suggesting canvas displays, and I have a few others I need to complete (Terri Lee)…. so maybe I’ll share that thought process as well!

Back to the boys. Love these two. They are doing SO well at sitting. I would be they are even better two weeks later, so when I am there at end of this month, we’ll have way more to show you as these guys develop, the grass is greener, the temps are warmer and we move outside! I already have grand plans for those rose bushes and just wait ’til I can get into that barn!

We might need to revisit the baseball theme next month so I can do it up right!

Jack & Will – 4.5 Months

Kristina — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 13:59:45 +0000

Loved our session this month! I walked in thinking “What am I ever going to do with these guys to make it special? It’s raining and grey and none of the things I thought up even feel feasible in this cold…” And this house, and these babies, they never fail to disappoint. It is probably the best thing I can do for my photography growth and development… every month looking for new and unique challenges, not re-using props or locations, working with the babes so that I document their evolution and show their uniqueness and bond! I also keep thinking about all the One Year albums options there are… and Carolyn’s fabulous canvas wall… this has been way more fun than I ever expected!

I am seriously loving these babes though. They have totally distinct personalities, but are so cute in that they still grab for each other, knowing they are connected. And I think they weigh more than Janey… and Will for sure has more hair than she does! Hopefully she’ll like younger men…

Jack & Will – 3.5 Months

Kristina — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:48:18 +0000

I absolutely love heading down the street for these sessions. I have so many ideas for the warm weather, and for when these guys can sit up! I am thinking my May session is going to be off the hook… and hopefully for the June session we’ll shoot the entire family! I am hoping we can do one full session just in the barn. It is so fun watching Jack & Will grow each month… they are out of the newborn stage where you have to carefully hold up their heads and worry endlessly about them. They are really strong and sturdy and push up so well! They are getting the hang of holding their feet and I bet it’s so soon before they are really rolling over… then a whole new set of worries!

Can’t wait for next month!

Jack & Will – 2.5 Months

Kristina — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:59:31 +0000

This is the second installment of the Jack & Will Show, celebrating 2.5 months of their reign over the farm. I am so incredibly excited because I am going to photograph these guys every month this year! Usually this age is a tough age to photograph, because babies just don’t “do” much… but these guys were rock stars. They did their best at just being really cute and so it made my job super easy! Their mom has impeccable taste and their house is divine, and so I already have a million ideas for what we’ll do next month, when they can push up a little bit… and you just wait to see what I have planned when they can sit!

I can’t believe I forgot to blog this. Well, I sort of can, because I have about 6 sessions from the fall that I never blogged… but I actually had this one ready to go about 30 minutes after I shot it. And then I forgot to blog it. Back on track… these little boys were the sweetest little twin babes you could imagine… I think maybe 12 days old? But still oh-so-sleepy and oh-so-good. This session was really fun for a few reasons (1) I spent a lot of time drooling over the most fabulous farmhouse these two boys will cause trouble in, (2) I like their mom, (3) it took me less than 2 minutes to drive there, and (4) Terri Lee helped me the entire session! It was so fun having her with me and as much as you might think she and I would get sidetracked talking and what-not, we actually worked really well together and she helped me figure out a bunch of shots! She’s welcome any time.

Back to the boys, I don’t care if I have to beg, plead, kick and scream… I am coming back to photograph these boys for life. I already have so many ideas for when they can sit, crawl, run, chase each other, and… RIDE! Carolyn, thank you for having me over! I am so sorry I forgot to blog these!
