A town full of gorgeous families

In the last few weeks I’ve had the opportunity to photograph not one but two amazing families.  I’m so grateful to have joined a wonderful mom’s group a few months ago.  Maddie and I have not only already made some great new friends but I have also found (brave) people that are actually willing to let me take their portraits!  I love it!  I’m really hoping to have my portfolio full of new faces and my business going by the beginning of next year.  It’s so exciting.

 Last week’s session:  Little C has the most amazing blue eyes - they simply sparkle!

It’s hard to stop!  I want to post them all.

Last night I got to do another family session.  It was so hot out (gotta love August in Redding) but everyone did great!  I had so much fun - I still get nervous before a shoot, but then I start taking pictures and I forget all about the nerves and just love seeing people come alive behind the camera. 

Here is the “S” family - I absolutely love this shot, so candid and natural:

See what I mean?  Gorgeous…all of them! 

The reason I’m so behind on my blogging

Isn’t she cute?  Every month we do a “kitty picture” which is just a snapshot of her in the green chair next to her stuffed kitty.   Yesterday we took our 19 month picture.  I can’t believe she’s already 19 months old!  So although motherhood is wonderfully busy and doesn’t allow for a lot of relaxation (and/or blogging) that isn’t exactly the reason I’m so behind.  I broke mommy law #512: Do not take your eyes off of your toddler for even a second.  If for some reason you do turn your back on your toddler, don’t be surprised when they rip 15 keys off of your laptop keyboard.

 I have portraits from two amazing sessions to share - I am planning on posting them later this afternoon.  That is, unless Hurricane Madeline strikes again.  :)
