the owne girl
A most fabulous shoot for a most fabulous girl (and her mom is a fabulous friend!)
I’ve been shooting Miss K for a few years now, and I’m convinced that somehow between last year and this year, someone pulled a fast switch on me. She looks the same, but she’s TOTALLY come out of her shell. She was very shy (VERY shy) in the past, but this time it was like we were old long lost friends. We had a great time on the whole shoot and she worked it like no ones business. Love her!!
During the shoot, I kept hearing her ask her mom if she could have the pumpkin out of the car. I was figuring it was a big pumpkin- like to sit on. You can imagine my face when this was the pumpkin.
Loved the Christmas dress. So pretty and classic.
Earlier in the day mom asked me to stop over and check out the outfits she had for the shoot (the christmas dress and the brown top with jeans). As I was standing in Miss K’s huge walk in room closet, I spotted the pink tutu. And then the pink boots(which are actually fishing boots which mom didn’t want to use but I insisted and am so glad I did!). And then the polka dotted tights. And that was it. I was done. Well, you can see why, right? And then the Fancy Nancy book? Seriously??
The doggie was a very good sport for the shoot. Couldn’t get him to smile, though. Treats are a must next shoot.
We even ran over to the firehouse where the firemen were so nice and let us use the truck for a few.
Favorites!!
Loved hanging out with you girls! Can’t wait for the next one!!

the boeh family
I’ve been photographing these lovelies since the baby was a newborn. In fact, she was my first ‘baby on a bookshelf’ shot, ever. And now, they are both big girls and just as much fun to photograph as they were in the beginning- probably even more so.
They are so gorgeous. All of them.
We had some issues with the swan, but he sure looked good in the pictures. He was well behaved, just a little scary.
We had lots of fun in the park. So glad I got Daddy to do this shot!
And I’m also happy to report that this family opted for a ‘video your shoot’. So please check out their video with Jerry with stills from me, below. Make sure your sound is on. And get your tissues.

the arno family
The backstory: I went to high school with mom’s brother (well, and with her too but her brother and I graduated the same year). She’s an amazing baker, which I didn’t know until I did a First Communion shoot for another high school friend and saw her cake there. And of course, had to have one for myself! But more about the cake later…
Had a great shoot with this family at their home. Their kids are so cute and SO smart. Scary smart.
Miss K was a tough customer with the smiles but with Daddy’s help, we got some. The curls and bow on the back of the dress is just for mom.
They were troopers, rearranging Halloween decorations so it looked more Christmasy, bringing furniture outside, sitting on the wet grass for a picture. My usual crazy requests.
The mini Cooper is a big favorite for everyone in the family, so we had to include it in some. Love that it’s red and just went so well with everything!
And since we’re so close to Halloween, we threw on their costumes for a few shots as well.
Mom needed a new headshot for her website and I was more than happy to oblige. Love the blue chef’s coat. And here’s a shot of the cake she made me for my 40th (I know, I know….I still haven’t posted the pix from my party but I will. Eventually. Like in January when all the holiday season craziness is done). Isn’t so awesome!!??!! Loved it- it looked exactly the way I pictured it in my head. And the camera on the top?- perfect! And it was a delicious cake too! (chocolate- what else?)
You should definitely visit Emily Arnone Cakes. Her stuff is just art! I’m seriously considering having another party just so I can get another cake!

the ledw4 family
This was my fourth and final shoot for this ‘growing up squared’ family and I still can’t get over the difference in the girls since our first shoot (not to mention the addition of a 3rd girl since we started).
The oldest was terribly shy and really wanted less than nothing to do with me. But now…we’re friends. She giggles and smiles and poses.
The middle one is all about fun and laughs. My challenge with her is getting her to sit still for more than one second!
And the baby is delicious. I can’t belieive how much she’s grown since our first shoot when she was just 3 weeks old (blog stalkers might remember her from a picture in a pink knit sack on the bed). Sitting by herself and everything.
The family that plays together…
Even though our ‘growing up squared’ plan is done, I’m hoping to see you guys again in 2010!

the simi family
One of my waiting list families who (luckily for the both of us) was available to fill in a spot from a last minute cancellation a few weeks ago. When mom contacted me for a shoot, she said she knew me from Rollaround classes with Timmy from when he was way little. I didn’t know her by name, but as soon as I saw her, I remembered her and her little ones right away. Except for the littlest of her kids- he wasn’t around back then!
I was so happy I got to do their shoot, it was great and the kids are gorgeous and photogenic like crazy!
Mom and Dad aren’t so bad either!!
You’ll see lollipops throughout the pictures- which wasn’t really a planned thing. They were treats for afterwards, but when the littlest one took an unexpected/unscheduled nap on the way to the shoot and had to be woken up, well…you do what you gotta do. Lollipops are way better to photograph than tears!
My favorite face from the shoot, hands down!
Great seeing you all again (and meeting Dad and Mr. B)! I had a fantastic time photographing your lovely family!!
