Ivy's 6-Month Portraits

Check out how big Ivy is getting. She's now a little more than six months old and sitting up. We all had a great time with this session -- we even had her diaper off for a good twenty minutes with no leaks! That's one of the only times that's happened.

I decided to do the "Little Parts" collage a little differently this time. It's nice when you can get other images that will work, too.

Her expression in this next one is priceless. I don't think she makes this face a whole lot, but I'm sure glad I was able to catch it.Isn't that hat adorable? I wish I could take credit for it, but she brought it to the session herself. OK, her Mom did, really. ;-)
She's not sad here -- she's looking curiously. She wasn't upset at all.
She plays with her feet a lot, so mom wanted to be sure to get a record of it.And we finished up with the tub. 
Be sure to see her slideshow for more pictures.

Valarie's 3-Month Portraits

Can you believe that Valarie is already 3 months old? I sure can't. It seems like mom was just here for maternity portraits. She still has a lot of hair -- more than her sister ever did.She's doing a great job at holding up her head.
Of course, Vivian was in a few, too.
This next image is one of my favorites from the "Little Parts" session that we did.
And this is what it looks like all together.

Amey and Scott's Engagement Portraits

It's finally getting a little warmer outside so we decided to do Amey and Scott's engagement portraits on Saturday evening. It was a little chilly in Marysville but it was a gorgeous day.They're both really goofy with each other, which makes for some great images. They really showed off their personalities.
The park they chose is special -- it's where Scott proposed to Amey.
The light from the setting sun was amazing. Just beautiful.
Be sure to check out their slideshow for more images.

Griffin's Newborn Portraits

Griffin is the newest member of our "Baby's First Year" club. His newborn portraits turned out so well. The first image above is one of my favorites.

Here's a close-up of him on the towels.
He was doing so well we put him in the rocking chair. He stayed asleep for most of the session.
He was holding his head up so well, but we propped him up a bit for this next one.

Caleb's Sr. Portraits

Caleb is one of our last seniors of 2009. They weren't going to do them, but then decided to give us a call.
He's a guitarist and felt most comfortable with one of his guitars in his hands.
I was really happy about how the outdoor images look. The light was perfect.
And the park really suited his personality.
The whole session was relaxed and fun.
This next image is one of my favorites.

Dana's Senior Portraits

Dana is another senior who waited a while to do her senior portraits. I really like these late-in-the-year sessions because we're not trying to get a yearbook picture and we can just have fun.

This tie-dye portrait turned out really well. I love her smile.We were in the studio for the first part of the session.
Then we went outside. It was a pretty nice day for pictures.
And then Dana went in the creek, just like Victoria did the day before. It was great. I've been trying to get people in the creek for years and no one has taken me up on it. I guess it's easier in March than in the middle of Summer. ;-)
As usual, the images here all link to Dana's slideshow, so be sure to check it out.

Victoria's Senior Portraits

We had a great time the other day with Victoria. She waited until the end of the year to get her senior portraits because she "doesn't like having her picture taken." She was a little reserved at first but we got some great images.

This first one is one of my favorites from the session. I think it captures her smile perfectly.

I really like how her face is so bright in this one:
Yes, she managed to get into the creek! It was really cold (being March, and all) and she nearly lost a flip-flop in the mud, but I think it was worth it.
We then went back to the studio for some more formal portraits:
Be sure to see her slideshow for more pictures. Leave a comment and I'll be sure she sees it.
