Ben and Ellie: Double the Fun!

November 22, 2009

These two had me running my big pregnant buns off, but you’d never know it by looking at their images! I often photograph twins that really don’t seem to like each other (I always find this very curious!) but such is not the case with Ben and Ellie. They actually DO like each other so I was able to capture some images of them showcasing their “twins closeness.” The family portraits were another matter…it’s always much more difficult to get everyone looking at the camera and being happy at the same time than just following the little ones around and letting them create their own moments. I think I may start boycotting moms and dads from future portrait sessions! Enjoy the sneak peek!

Joey turns 2

November 19, 2009

This is my fourth session with Joey, and my fave to date! It is always wonderful to photograph a little one in his own home. He was comfortable and in his element, and I could just chase him around and let him go where he wanted and capture images of him being completely himself. He gave me so many pure expressions, from huge grins to very serious face to “Lady, why the heck are you still following me around with that thing?” intense face. Love it. Here’s a peek.
