Ben, Ella and now Henry!

February 27, 2010 – 3:11 pm

Welcome to the world Henry!    We all know that I love photographing brand new babies!  While I love sleepy babies, when I get one that is  awake and happy,  I am thrilled.   Henry did an amazing ‘ job’ at just looking and connecting his eyes to my camera.   I think he is advanced ; )

The adorable hat is from Henry’s favorite uncle (so I don’t know that yet but I’m sure Henry will love a stylin’ uncle who can find adorable hats ; )

The first Henry shoot was just with Mommy and Daddy.  I loved getting to know all three of them.   The next day we did the rest of the family with Henry.   Ben and Ella joined in the fun!

When I get something in my head, I seldom can quit thinking about it.  I watched Ben working with the alphabet when he wasn’t being photographed.  He loves it and I loved watching him.   I have a whole Ben and his letters shoot in my brain.  I’ve thought about it alot.  : )

I had glasses in alllll my kid pictures.  I’m sure my mom thought blue cat eye glasses were rather cute then but not now.   Ben’s are adorable!!!!

Here is Miss Ella – the perfect example of why I looooove 3 year old girls and would do just about anything any day to get to shoot one.

Thank you thank you Mommy and Daddy!   The logistics and work getting your family here was amazing!  Thank you, I loved it and loved getting to know all of you!

The ‘ons’

February 25, 2010 – 9:58 pm

How fortunate am I? Very. Very fortunate. When I start to realize that I have photographed families, whole…well maybe not yet ; ) families I just feel so blessed to be a part of so many amazing amazing lives.

Here are the ‘0ns’ and one ‘yn’

Miss Cameron

She is 6 now and for sure one of my early newborns. I photographed her in my living room and still love and remember the details of that day. She is sweet and gentle and kind. I had just a few minutes to photograph her by herself recently. My heart is yearning for some just Cameron time. She was giving me some looks that I feel like I must dig deeper and get more. Just a huge overwhelming feeling I have. I’ll get my way ; )

One year later, Mr Valentine, Mr Hawkeye and Mr Basketball~ Harrison

 I want him. I just looked at some picture on his mommy’s Facebook. Sitting with a group of boys, I was so drawn to him. He has these dimples, blond hair and sparkle in his eye, he is a jokester and I love that! Cameron and Harrison have this certain ‘word’ that they say to me when I first see them, they have the sweetest teasing faces, I melt instantly.

Miss Maryn – Mom would say she is the spunky one, I think they all just have this innate ability to relate and sweetly tease that I love. She was born in May of 2007 so she is almost at my very very favorite age to photograph, I looooove 3 year olds! Still a little bit baby but have some independence to discover.

Now we have Miss Emmerson Jane. She has the most amazing lips and reminds me of sweet Cameron. My studio is small : ) and if the though of a 3 children, a newborn, a mommy and a daddy and McDonald’s in my studio seems overwhelming, it wasn’t. Emmerson slept perfectly, her brother and two sisters behaved way better than my boys would even today ; ). Momma and Daddy are sooooo just happy all the time, I understand how the kids are too. It was a great afternoon, a perfect afternoon!

Thank you Chad, Erica, Cameron, Harrison, Maryn and Emmerson for being such a sweet part of my photographic story. Getting to me is always an effort but you never ever act like it. You make me feel very special and I love you.   B****R         Much <3 Amy

Abby and Brendan

February 25, 2010 – 12:00 pm

I have been a bad blogger, I have had this post in draft mode for a week.  It isn’t written perfectly and I’ve decided not to keep editing it to make it so.  It was written quickly from my heart to Abby who every day continues to amaze me with her strength in taking on the world.  She is hope for me that my children will one day grow into amazing adults. 

I met Abby on one of my very first dates with Bret.  The event was the wedding of her mom Nancy to Bob.   Over that past 20 years I have loved watching Abby.    Abby represents hope for me.  When I met her I was barely ‘grown’ up myself and hadn’t ever watched that process from an adult viewpoint.  I got to watch Abby through the trying teenage years, to her crazy college years to her dating years to her falling in love with Brendan years to her beeing a married woman years and then to her painful miscarriage year.  

So back to hope, Abby is hope.  Hope to any parent that your child might just grow up to be one of the most amazing people you will ever know.    Abby along with your amazing partner Brendan, you have grown into such an amazing woman and soon to be mother.  I know the last year has been very difficult but I think this baby will have the most amazing parents due in part to how hard you fought together and with God on your side for him/her.  God has blessed you.  I am blessed too!   Now hurry up so we can photograph this baby!  I love yoU!

Brendan was such a good sport and did anything I asked him to.  Thanks buddy,  Abby and baby ? are so blessed to have you as husband and daddy.  I can’t wait to see you in your new role ; )

Ryker and his favorite place to be ; )

February 12, 2010 – 10:09 pm

SKIN ALERT – If you are offended by a bit of skin, please pass on reading this post : )

Momma Shana is one of my favorite people to photograph.  We have had a bit of fun together and none of that fun has anything to do with photographing her by a fire truck during ‘noon rush hour’.  Nope none of it : ) 

Here is baby Ryker.  I have a few pictures of him by himself.  He mostly wanted to be with his mommy.

This is from Shana’s senior session.  Without knowing the whole story, it may seem inappropriate.  It wasn’t.  It was an amazing day and one beautiful square on my quilt of photographic memories.    Love you Shana!
