Aidan & Owen | Family Photos

Matt & I met Aidan in October 2007, and instantly fell completely in love with him.  In May of 2009, he was lucky enough to get a little brother, Owen.  Both boys are absolutely & completely PRECIOUS!  Their parents, Amanda and Jason, have asked us to photograph the boys as they grow up, which has resulted in us becoming completely attached to the little fellows.  So, when Amanda emailed wanting some Spring/Owen’s 1st year/Family photos, we jumped on the chance!  :) 

Here are a ‘few’ photos of the Birthday Boy.   Owen is the most inquisitive character and is constantly studying and feeling the world around him.  His concentration abilities are impressive for such a little guy!  His parents say he is going to be an “engineer” when he grows up.  I totally believe it!  :)

Of course we can’t leave out Aidan!  Aidan has the most expressive face EVER, and has us cracking up during the entire photo shoot!  He is also very polite - he says “please” and “thank you” and even says “excuse me” if he needs to interrupt us for anything!  I LOVE THAT!

I LOVE this collage.  The photo on the left was taken in Oct. 2007…the one on the right was taken in April 2010…we just happened to capture Aidan and Jason in the same pose.  Look how big Aidan has gotten!

We did take some family photos too:

 

Here are some more of the boys…

Aidan is fearless when it comes to bugs.  I on the other hand am very grateful that I have the ability to stand away from the bug(s) and ZOOM in with my lens!  :)

Amanda & Jason ~ Thank you both so much…Matt and I are lucky that we get to work with such wonderful people!   Your children are such handsome little guys, and we love that we get to watch them grow up.  :)  We can’t wait to see you all again and we hope you enjoy your photos!

Meet Ainsley | Newborn Photos

A couple of years ago, we were asked to take photos for a little guy named Parker.  In January, the family welcome a little girl into their home named Ainsley.  We were very excited to take Ainsley’s photos because it meant we got to see Parker again…AND we got to try out some new baby props!  BONUS!

Isn’t she BEAUTIFUL?!  :)

Matt on the “Job”

Poor Matt…I volunteer him to get the shots that involve laying on the ground, climbing a tree, or going near a spider!  Here are a couple of Matt while he is “working!”  I think it’s a fair trade off – I get to blog…he get’s to lay on the ground!  ;)

Piper is HERE! | Newborn Photos

Piper is our newest neighbor, and sister to Calvin, our daughter’s BFF (just ask her).  Mackenzie and Calvin agreed to be my lighting assistant for this shoot…I LOVE all the help I get from these kiddos!

Ok, now for the STAR of the show!  Meet Piper.  :)  She’s a December baby, and such a little angel!

We are so excited that we get to watch Piper grow up…it is such a blessing that she will be a part of our lives! 

Abby turns ONE!

Little Ms. Abby turned ONE in December!  Her mama warned us that she might not be up to the shoot, but she was absolutely PERFECT!  Her brother let us capture a few photos as well.  You MUST admit that these two are ADORABLE!!!  :)

Andrew agreed to be my lighting assistant…in other words, he made faces for me so I could make sure my lighting was right!  :)

I just LOVE little-kid-foot-photos!

So, Abby’s birthday cake was placed in front of her…we were attempting to get some artistic shots…you know…cake in focus, Abby blurred in the background??…well, after being denied access to the cake a few times, Abby had had enough!  Is she not hilarious!?!?

We’ll leave you with these two…

You have to admit…you totally want to pinch those precious cheeks, don’t you?!?

Christmas in May?!

In less than a week we shoot our first wedding of the 2010 season!!  We can’t wait to see Julie and Chris walk down the aisle!  :)  BUT, I thought it would be best to post the rest of last years pics, and a few from this year.  We have one shoot that I can’t post yet…it’s a Mother’s Day surprise!  Wait for it….

We took a bunch of Christmas photos last year…take a look!

Here’s Owen and Aidan.  Don’t you love their matching sweaters?

Kavan and Lachlyn…their twins, and December babies…these were Christmas/1st year pics.

Another Aiden:

Oops!  Can’t forget Mackenzie….she ‘trimmed’ her own bangs in May.  I hated them…but by December, they had grown out enough to look precious!  I love the look in her Christmas photos!  She’s such a ham.  You can tell she is used to having a camera in her face!
