What a fun family!! The last time I did their photographs was 2 years ago! Time sure does fly by! It was a fun time and I enjoyed seeing all of you again.

See you in 5 years?!

  

Welcome Mason!

This is Baby Mason and what a handsome little guy he is!

Welcome to the world Mason... here are a few of my favorites from his session.

:) Enjoy and Congrats to his mom and dad, JOB WELL DONE!

Fun at the park!

This mom and son duo are regulars behind the camera, can't you tell?

this was a fun shoot!

Enjoy the sneak peak...

Shot these on my trusty ole' 20D with natural light near dusk. 24-70mm at f/2.8, 400, 125

Last image here I ran the Lily Blue action "honey"

cheers!

Newborn Session!

I love photographing newborn's! Here is a sneak peak of Baby James' photo shoot.

James was 8 days old and slept like a charm! What a sweet baby boy.

these images are all natural light at the clients home.

Canon 20D, 24-70 at f/2.8 ISO varied from 100-200

My Pride & Joy!

YES! These are MY boys, they are my E V E R Y T H I N G!!!!! From models for my photography business to cuddling in bed in the mornings, my life would be OH SO BORING without them!

My first is already 4 and will be 5 in May. I just can't believe he's almost 5 and you know what that means?! KINDERGARDEN!! Already, my baby is going to start school next fall. YIKES!

And that is my littlest munchkin on the right, he's turning 2 in February and I am holding on to every moment with him... he's still my little one year old and likely my last child so I savor everything with him. It's all gone WAYYY to fast!

Here's to my boys, I LOVE YOU!

       

These photo's were taken in our front yard right before dusk. Canon 20D, 24-70 ISO set to 200, f/2.8 (all the way open) speed was 125 (I think). I used a vintage action for the saturated color and then overlaid the photo, in Photoshop, with a texture. Too many steps honestly but thought it was fun for these two pictures.
