Every year on my birthday it is a reminder that I want some “real” pictures of my kids.  A little mini-session for me.  Not that I don’t love my iphone pictures of them – I have lots of those and treasure them.  It is a great way to capture the craziness of a birthday lunch at Moe’s with our friends.  I don’t think it is what I am looking to blow up and frame on my wall, though.  Wish me luck;  I’m taking my own kids out today and fingers crossed I will get an image of all three looking pleasant with no bunny ears.  I often feel like I am with the Three Stooges because of all the head butts and eye-pokes when I make them sit close together.  Because they are the Cobbler’s Kids (have no shoes), the images may not make it to the wall right away but at least I will have them!

The above picture of my sweet Kate was taken last night in Smyrna, Georgia.  We will try to get a brush through her hair next time!

Happy Birthday to me…and any new client of mine!  The first two new clients to book by the end of this Saturday for an August/September session can mention they saw this and get a free 5×7 frame at their ordering session.  You can send me a message through the contact form on this site or email me directly.  I’m trying to get a jump on the busyness of Fall by fitting in a couple of more sessions into my schedule.

A New Addition to the family.

Meet Roxie!

She has lots of love and kisses to give!

These girls are so beautiful on their own.  Put them together, add in a cute new puppy and it is to die for!  Worst of all is I think I have puppy-fever now.  Little Roxie was so easy to work with (thanks to Mom’s help) and couldn’t have been sweeter.  We laughed a lot just like I’m sure they do all the time at home with her.  I’m so thrilled we got to include her in our session so we can look back one day to see how much the girls have grown and also how much Roxie has changed as well.  It is like having a newborn and wanting to capture those first precious weeks.  🙂

We all know she is going to be a BIG star but will need all his help to keep away the groupies and manage her rising career!  It is great to have a big brother to keep you on a straight path.

This is a sweet family that had a family session with me before this little boy got his first real haircut.   It will be bittersweet to see him with his big boy hair do.  I bet he will look so grown up!   He is already doing many big-boy things so I guess it is time he looks the part of the toddler he is.  🙁  He is lucky to have a great big sister to lead the way for him.  She directed and helped him out a lot (it will always be that way!).

How did they know to wear my favorite colors, blue & green?  🙂  As summer gets closer there will be even more green grass and leaves as my backdrops.  I love all the natural colors that allow children’s faces and expressions to be the focus of any image.  It is always fun to have that pop of color too!  Crewcuts has some fun Spring children’s clothes that you can check out.  They always have a great selection for both casual and dressier outfits.

This is just to give you an idea of what some clothing choices might be.  I can always help with this if you are stuck.  I love to pull collections together from your existing clothes and often make decisions based on home decor and locations of photo sessions.

More later on what undertones of color look best on a person.  This is an individual thing and has nothing to do with the color but the shade.  My Mother has taught this for uh, many years and it is very dramatic to see it in person.  I am always a perfect model for her.  I look best in bright, clear colors (like the green above).  If she drapes me in that color and immediately puts a pastel (Easter egg colors or white undertones) on me, you can see how washed out I become.  There is no amount of makeup I can add to fix it and if I go around town like that people will ask me if I feel sick.  🙂  My husband is the opposite.  He looks the best in pastel colors.  It all has to do with the pigments in our skin and not our hair and skin coloring.  I am terrible about updating my site but hopefully I will be able to write more about this soon and show some examples.

More cute little kids in the gorgeous Spring morning light.  This little girly is just as spunky as my own and I love her Easter dress.  Her brother couldn’t be sweeter (and such a good helper)!

They are in the blue I love and back-dropped in all my favorite colors.  Their cute little faces should be permanent on my website!  Perfect Lisa Phillipson Photography branding, right? 🙂

Hello

and

Goodbye

Little Eva did not stay in her shell and hide this day.  She came out to play and like most all of the 20 month olds I see, ran and ran and ran.  I know toddlers at this age are going to run as far as they can and never look back.  Too many places to go and things to see (and not to mention the energy!).  I had to laugh with her outfit changes when her Mom had to chase her down naked and wrestle to get clothes on her.  What a joy she is!  I bet there is a lot of laughter in her home and, of course, a great workout trying to keep up with her!

I’m especially happy for people when they have little children in their homes at Christmas time.  Everything seems a little more fun and exciting.

Merry Christmas!
