Engagement Session

I just recently met Tim and Allyson and it has been a pleasure. They are the definition of low maintenance. They are relaxed, easy-going, happy people, and we had a leisurely ole' time shooting their engagement session. Click on an image to enlarge.

My Sweet Luke

There are a few things I want to say about this entry. First, I recently got my son's hair cut into a spikey 'do, which makes him look like a little man, not a little boy. My friend said to me after seeing him, "awww, he finally looks like he's older than one." This is not necessarily a good thing for a mom who wants to freeze him in time! :-)
Second, I discovered during the photo session that my son does not know how to smile for the camera. His cute natural smile was replaced with pursed lips and a squinty eye. I was able to catch a few candid laughs and smiles, and that is what I will have to settle for this time around.
Enjoy!! Click on an image to enlarge.

The pose below was Luke's natural pose, I didn't instruct him to do this.

This next image was taken after Luke asked to show his "picture pose".

Nathan

This is little 3-month-old Nathan, who just happens to be the son of one of my bestest friends in the whole world. It's such a treat to photograph my friends' kids, and a bonus when they are as adorable as Nathan! I was in town visiting (they live in TX) and this was a kind of impromptu session we did while Nathan's older brother was taking a nap. Click on an image to enlarge.

The Whole Gang

Here is the second part of the Sejera Family's session. If you missed the first post, scroll down.

The Kids

I photographed a family session of an old friend from highschool (Jerusha Torres) that I hadn't seen in over 10 years!  We are from Chicago, both ended up in Tulsa, and re-connected through Facebook. I'm posting their pictures in two separate entries because there are just too many to post at one time. When you have kids as cute as theirs, you have to take a lot of pictures! So here are Isabella and Cristiano; the full family pictures are coming soon!

The Sprik Family

Here is the Sprik Family's session. They wanted a somewhat rustic look and the location was perfect. The weather also cooperated (not too cold or windy)- yay! Combine that with a lovely family and multiple pictures abound. Enjoy!

Miss Claire

My favorite sessions are ones with multiple locations and corresponding wardrobe changes. And of course an adorable model doesn't hurt! Claire is a 2-year-old fashionista, and her mom was up for anything, so we got a lot of great looks and I am so excited with the results! I posted my favorites from each location.

When you get to the last image, keep scrolling to leave a comment. I'm not sure why there is so much space between posts. My blog and I are still getting to know each other.
