Best Senior Photographer SmyrnaCollege Bound

Another one of my Seniors is off to college now. I was so happy to be able to get that last family portrait before he left to start a new chapter in his life.  I feel for the Moms sending off their boys. I can’t image how hard that will be for me. Luckily he isn’t too far away but I know their home is feeling a little empty right now. The future is bright for him so I am excited to see what is ahead for both of these boys!

Senior High School Boy and FamilyThe Light was lovely on this day in Smyrna!  I am so happy to be this family’s photographer – they are so genuinely kind and fun to be around.

As a bonus we were able to also capture updated pictures to mark 8th grade and the end of Middle School which is also a really special and exciting time.  Lots of milestones happening in this family!

I had so much fun photographing this family. They were easy-going and pretty funny.  It was a milestone for this family because their youngest has graduated from high school and they will now have two in college.  This was probably the last time they will have professional portraits made until someone gets married.  They certainly made the most of it and now have beautiful portraits hanging in their home to always remember this time.  I always encourage families with High School Seniors to have a family photo session after graduation while everyone is still home and able to take part.  It is amazing how hard it is to get everyone together once kids start moving away.

It is a great time for High School Seniors to have their portraits made. I still have some spots just for Seniors next month so contact me if you need more details.  The light in the late afternoon is gorgeous!

It was an unusually cool morning for this milestone birthday session for two sisters.  You would never know they weren’t so into it would you?  Little Grace didn’t want to show us her new-found walking skills right away. I love that Mom could laugh about it all with me.  It only took a little patience and we got some really cute images from our time together.  I share that with you to let you know that we all have bad or off mornings and children are no different. I’m not bothered by waiting on them and it always works out.

Lollipops!

The lollipops at the end of our session certainly did not hurt and it was so fun watching them try to eat them. Grace was able to learn from her big sister just what to do with hers. 🙂

To say that I am partial to these two little girls would be an understatement.  I am honored to be their photographer and the one to have captured “one” and “three” with these girls.

There were few breaks in the rain last week.  So when it did stop, of course, we washed the car.  My kids didn’t mind being in water the whole 4th of July holiday weekend.  They also spent a day at Six Flags in the rain (the best time to go).  Both of our cars got washed by my junior crew and I think a neighbor’s car did too.  It wouldn’t be car washing without a big brother squirting you with a hose, right?

Yard work and washed cars brought some fun treats so it was well worth it. Lemonades, Root Beers, watermelon and cherries were waiting for my soaking wet crew of three. And then it rained.  Again.

If I ever wanted to do a “What Not To Wear” post this picture would be attached. Life is full of spontaneous moments and I have children that have too much of their own sense of style. My boys dress mainly for comfort and I guess I can’t blame them for that!

I hope your 4th weekend was as fun of ours!

 

A session share from my time with baby E. and his family at their home.  I agree with his Mom that he has some gorgeous, squishy baby lips.  They will soon be a gallery wrapped canvas on her wall. 🙂  Once I knew he was here, I had to know about his hair.  You will have to wait for why.  I will say now that when I had their session his hair was freshly washed and he had a perfectly coiffed do.  My mother saw these images on my computer and even commented “that baby has a nice head of hair.”  My babies were bald so I can appreciate it!

Baby E. and I fell in love and he did not want to sleep for me so that we could stare at each other. Ha! Even so, he was calm and so good (and I am patient!).  It gave us a good chance to shoot more lifestyle pictures while he was getting sleepy so he will always know how beautiful his Mom was when he was little and how crazy she was for him. I love favorite images on the wall and albums that show a fuller story and document more moments for a newborn.  I always show more images for newborn sessions for this reason.

I have a third with two big brothers and I guess you can’t help but be a little tougher in that situation!

I love the classic look of black and white for these shots. None of these boys will ever be this little ever again and so this is priceless to me.  Big Brother was so helpful and Middle brother had toy knives in his hand.  It was perfect – just like what this stage of life is really like.

As much as I normally love black and white newborn images, it is just hard to not go color with this family.  How can you hide these two gorgeous heads of red hair?  Not to mention the stunning blue eyes… No matter how hard they play every hair seems to wave and fall perfectly back in place.  I can’t wait to watch these three boys grow up together.  Their personalities are so sweet and all so very different – it is fun to be around them all.

Green Clothing Ideas

Green Clothing: I hope you had a great green St. Patrick’s Day.  It is always this day that I learn how little green people have in their closet.  You will see me in green all the time – I love it.  And I often dress my children in it as well.  I love the pairings above with the bright pink added in.  I think I might try adding that instead of red the next time I photograph all three of my children together.  Add in my next favorite color, navy blue, and it is perfect (for me).

Try adding green in to your wardrobe and portrait pictures.  These particular colors especially remind me of Easter.  You can find this color scheme in all the stores right now so it will be easy to find!  Emerald Green is the color of the year for 2013 so go for it even if it is just small pops of bright green in a scarf, purse or other accessory.
