The Littlest Gates

What's a wedding without really adorable kids to halfway steal the show? These little ones are Deb's nieces named Gwynyth, Hazel, and Joya. Yes, they are precious and yes, they are close in age. But before you think, "wow their parents must have their hands full," just wait. There are six little ones in this family. Gwynyth, Hazel, Joya, Maverick, and then the twins, Reed and Law. Beautiful children and their parents, Joel and Angie are so loving and gracious. Big families are a lot of fun!

Sweet Little Ones

Just a little peek into what my summer was like. A lot of my time was spent learning from those sweet little souls. Lessons like patience, communication, tantrum management, etc. They were worthwhile lessons to be taught and to learn. And as the icing on the cake, we had a lot of fun! Most of our time was spent at parks, coffeeshops, wading pools, libraries, and watching Signing Time. Enjoy their life and energy in the photos!

Popsicles

I just don't think that these need any explanation. Sweet summertime.

Jaya and Sasha

I have known these two girls for a long time. I took this photo of Mel and Jaya (and an in utero Sasha) two summers ago.

They're growing and stretching and learning and changing quickly. Pretty soon Sasha will be two and Jaya will be six. I've been babysitting them quite a bit this summer and have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these little girls better. Jaya will go to a bilingual kindergarten this coming fall, she's smart, creative, funny, and helpful. Sasha is a feisty little person who keeps everyone on their toes. She knows quite a bit of sign language and is always willing to let you know the sign for skunk, sharing, mosquito, party, candle etc. just in case you don't watch Baby Signing Time as religiously as she does. Their mom, Mel, is a midwife and has been a part of my neice and one of my nephews births and will deliver my sister's baby any day! Their family has been a big part of ours and we love them dearly.

My favorite of the whole shoot

Boys, Boys, Boys

Yesterday I did a shoot with three boys, Oliver, Wesley, and Max. Oliver and Wesley are three and a half year old twins and Max is nearly two. These boys have energy and I don't know how their parents keep up with them! Their energy and liveliness made them so fun to photograph and further solidified why I love photographing children so much. Enjoy the energy!

The Seasons Are A-Changin...

Meet Maggie and Sam, two really adorable and fun little people. We got to spend Saturday morning together and it was the warmest weather we've had in a while...spring must finally be on its way! What a wonderful way to begin a day; warm weather, beautiful children, natural surroundings, and a camera.I basically just followed them, camera in hand, all over their family's GORGEOUS property. Those really awesome stone walls in the background have now been bulldozed, so we did the shoot just in time! The kids were super natural and I was thankful that they were active and didn't love to pose (what 2 and 3 year olds do?) because activity creates much more interesting, fun, and natural pictures of children. I'm off to Florida in a few days with my family where hundreds of pictures are sure to be taken of my niece and nephews...I can imagine the posts now...until then I'll be dreaming of beach and poolside photos of some beautiful kids.
