My kind of family picture

Monday, July 28, 2008

I’m not a “traditional” style photographer and I hope people realize that before they come to me for a session. Even though I do try to get you a photo with everyone “looking” at the camera. But my personal favorites are when you capture a family being a family or just how your family or children’s personalities really are. Those are the kind of pictures I love cause those are the ones that bring a smile to your face when they hang in your home. I was just proofing a family session from yesterday and I just had to quick share it cause it made me chuckle and brought a smile to my face.

Hope it does you too! :)

Many more great ones from this session that I will share soon.

Sunday, July 27, 2008

If you have sent me a email from the contact page on this blog, I didn’t get it!!

OPPS! I am sorry I had never thought to to see if it worked?! Please if you had sent a email and never got a response from me please send another one using the contact page for my website. I always return my emails usually the same day. Sorry for the inconvenience!!

Have a great Sunday!!

Here’s some more pictures from the other week. I know I am on a blogging roll!! I am so far behind it’s time to get a little closer to catching up!:)

This was a fun day at the farm with friends. I have known these girls since they were babies and WOW now look at them!!! They are just as amazing on the inside as they are out, just like their Mother!

 

shannon -

Little beauties. You are a on a roll with the horses too! Have your little princess do enough begging, and maybe daddy will get her one of her own :)

Senior

Sunday, July 27, 2008

A few weeks ago I visited a little piece of heaven! A beautiful property where this senior boy lives. Acres of tall pines, woods and ponds. I had so much fun and didn’t want to leave! I got some great shots of “S” along with his horse. We took the horse down to the pond for a dip! The horse loved it, he splashed and splashed and rolled around, like a kid in the pool! It was so fun to watch!

I look forward to going back this fall to do a family session!

shannon -

The girls will be swarming for him! I especially love the horse shots… you seem to find that one special something that infuses the subjects’ passions into the photos.

Patty -

WOW, LOVE these. What great pictures with the horse. Love the ones in the water. So very cool!

Look who’s one

Saturday, July 26, 2008

Miss “A” from Iowa! They came back to let me capture her one year pictures and I couldn’t be more honored.

Miss “A” is such a doll with so many expressions! I had so much fun with her and her parents! I love her little tutu she wore.  I have so many favorites from her session!

 

 

 

 

shannon -

Oh my! Isn’t she just adorable!?!?! Her tutu is too cute! What lucky parents to have such a princess…. :)

I’d travel from Iowa to see you too, Amy! Luckily I don’t have to.

July 26, 2008 at 6:21 pm

Patty -

Yes I would have to agree, she sure is adorable. I would drive from Iowa too, thank goodness I don’t have too….but I would! Love her little tu-tu! I also love the picture of her holding up her little finger showing the world she is now one…too cute!

July 26, 2008 at 8:28 pm

Kelly -

She is a doll and I love the polka dots on her outfit. Happy 1st birthday Miss A!

Summer

Wednesday, July 23, 2008

It sure is feeling like summer these days, with all this heat and humidity. I don’t like it to much but I am glad it feels more like summertime! Cause before we know it, it will be over!! So sweat while you can. :)

Well enough about that and on to some pictures of some kiddos! It was nice to see them again and to catch up with their mommy.

They are growing to fast!

Love this one of the two, it actually looks like they like each other?!

Patty -

Too cute, love big brothers smile!

Fresh

Friday, July 18, 2008

Here’s a fresh one! And isn’t he scrumptious! He did so good for me except for peeing and you know what else on a few things!:) But so worth it to get these shots. They change so fast in the first few week or I really should say years! Life is going by to fast, we all need to slow down. I am feeling especially this way as I realized my son goes back to school in only 5 weeks!!

Patty -

Wow, how tiny is this one. You honestly forget just how teeny tiny these newborns are. What beautiful photos to cherish forever. Mom, you will have to remind your little bundle of joy about the little present that was left behind….too funny!

beautiful… always love a fresh baby :)

New addition

Monday, July 14, 2008

 

I was so hoping to show you all a slide show of this recent session I did. But I can not figure out how to get it on my blog! SORRY! So if anyone out there knows a EASY program out there to view slide shows on blogs, please let me know I would be greatly appreciative as I am so frustrated!!  So hopefully in the future I can show you a slide show here because they are now available to purchase on DVDS. It makes a great keepsake! 

Here are just some of the pictures I wanted to show you from this recent session. I have to many favs! This family bought in their newest addition and she is just precious!  They are the best family always letting me try anything, even adventuring outside with a week old! Thanks guys for letting me try my visions, hope you love them as much as I do!

AMY!
I can’t believe it!!!! Do you know that my parents and your rummage sale site are NEIGHBORS? I think I read LOST WOODS ROAD about 3 times to believe it! Oh my goodness. If I would have checked your site sooner I would have stopped by the sale and introduced myself! I have a frown on my face….I can’t believe it! Well, I hope you had a nice turn out.

One of my favorite places to visit

Sunday, July 6, 2008

Is Miss”C”s house.  Each time I have been there for her baby plan sessions, I have so much fun with her! I need to get a bigger camera bag so I can try and sneak her home with me! She is a complete joy to photograph and I always take to many pictures of her cause I can’t get enough of her!! She always is smiling and does everything I want and more.

I can’t wait to go back for when she turns one!

 

shannon -

She is just gorgeous! What beautiful eyes and smile. I was going to pick a favorite, but I really love them all. She’s too sweet.

July 7, 2008 at 6:29 am

Patty -

What a beautiful baby. She is so darn cute and looks so happy. Amazing pics Amy!! Shannon this little cutie reminds me of your little princess.
