Fast Times Two.

I am not sure how their mom keeps up with them, but she does, and she does it well!

Short on words due to a bad ear infection and limited energy and brain power.

I have sort of an obsession with kids and their lovies. So if they have one, they get a picture with it!

Sitting.

Baby Jason can sit! And he can do it really well! Erica and I tried to schedule this session a few times, but things kept coming up… and in hindsight, we are so glad we waited until he could sit! He is seriously delicious. And he loves… loves… LOVES his mama. As it should be. Train your son to say “Mom, I love you and you are my best friend” and you will be a happy woman for life. Until he gets married. Then it will be weird. But until then, he’s yours.

Kit-kat came home from school, literally RAN past me to the shower so she could look all awesome for our session… and she was a ROCK STAR… no, maybe more like a Gap model. Sort of like Christofer, she’s a little excited because someone else is around, but WHAM she can turn it on for the camera in a split second. She is ever gorgeous, ever a teenager at age 5. Love her.

And Erica is beautiful. Really. What else is there to say? I stinkin’ love her too. She and I have these off the wall conversations that I think about after I leave her house and I kill myself laughing.

I want to post more, but I have to go pay a few moving violation fines so I don’t end up in the clink… and as much as there are about 30 more I’d love to show you, we really want to keep them a surprise! We’ll share another time!

What to Wear Wednesdays [Boden & J. Crew]

Before you all start singing my praises… I did NOT come up with this idea. Although I have always given guidelines on what to wear, and I have a What to Wear section in my client information packet, the idea of blogging What to Wear is not mine. Many photographers do this. But I did hijack the idea because we are upon the Holiday Card time of year and I’d like to offer up some ideas. These are just ideas, I am not suggesting you spend the $612 or so that I just pulled together on Mom’s outfit at Boden. But… if you are going to Boden, check out their Outfit Maker! It’s fabulous! {it also drew attention to the fact I dress like a dud, another story entirely.}

It took me at least an hour to come up with this, so I do know it’s not an easy task. Things I kept in mind… I started with mom… because if mom looks good, everyone will have a much better day. I also believe that if a mom is not comfortable in her outfit, she will generally feel bad about herself and not like the pictures. I am telling you this because (1) I know it’s true and (2) I am that mom. So moms… start with you and work out. Once I had her outfit pulled together (and again, can’t sing enough praises about the Outfit Maker), I started on the boy… there was a Boden sweater I just loved that was the same aqua but with an argyle. But after dressing boy & girl in aqua, mom in aqua, it didn’t leave me with much for Dad. If everyone is dressed identical, it’s just plain boring. I also decided to play it a bit more safe because aqua is a big color, so doing an aqua argyle was a bit too bold of a statement for me. I loved the aqua and brown because it screams fall with a tiny little nod to the ocean! I added in the cream pants for the dad (ok, light brown, sorry Owen, I won’t put you in cream) because I thought Mom & Dad would look great together and it would tie in nicely if you did cream tights for mom or the girl. I also have some cream accents in the mom’s necklace. Finally, I imagined the pairings you’d do in a session… Mom & Dad, Mom & Son, etc. and everyone seemed to really compliment each other.

Next week I’ll focus on a Gap or Old Navy option, then a more formal one with perhaps Olive Juice dresses for the girls! Please leave me some love and let me know if you found this to be at all helpful!

That’s a whole lot of good looking.

I had a whirlwind of a session on Tuesday night with a very energetic, very funny, very large family. And I loved every minute of them. You know from my plate-throwing Greek roots that I prefer passion and opinion and everyone together far more than a quiet night at home, so these guys were right up my alley. I hope I was able to do them justice and capture what they were looking for! And I hope the birthday dinner was wonderful, good food, good stories, a lot of love.

Before anyone asks… this is not it. This is a sneak peak and yes, I have MANY more to show you.

Look at this gorgeous baby. He has my three favorite things going on: perfectly clear beautiful eyes that allow me to see the blue sky in them, a little beauty mark exactly like my Janey Baby has… and bubbles!

And how cute is this boy? When I saw the squirt bottle I was a little worried, knowing the disaster that occurs in my house not so much when C has the squirt bottle, but more when we try to take it away. But he was SO good with it and was so careful to water the plants just so. He didn’t even allow temptation to break him when I said he could squirt me! (and you know my love, undying love, for Rhodos… so that makes this shot all good for me).

The kids were all just good kids. Like really good kids. Like I didn’t even have to tell them stupid jokes or start jumping, they just rocked it out.

These two beauties rocked it out very well… this is like 1 of 10 perfect images that just scream “TAG ME ON FACEBOOK.” Will do girlies, will do.

As you can imagine, with a group this big, I overshot ALL the group pictures so I could ensure that I captured one that is just perfect. I have no idea if this one is it, I have so many to look through, this is just one I grabbed and so if you think “so is that it? is that the one?” Maybe. Maybe not. We’ll see!

And because Lisa knows that it’s almost a requirement to jump, she jumped! Yay!

THANK YOU!
