Valentine's Day Mini-Session

Just before the holidays, I was contacted by Allison because she needed some family pictures for their Christmas card and a photographer they had scheduled with had fallen through (lucky me:). I had a great time meeting her beautiful family and taking their photos. Well, she contacted me again because she does a project for her husband every Valentine's Day and needed some new pictures of her gorgeous daughters. I had the day off from work, so I drove to her home the following morning (with Reagan in tow) and took some shots of the girls in their pink dresses. I had seen tons of cute Valentine's themed ideas for photos, and I quickly put together this banner that you see in several of the backgrounds. Super cute and so easy!

Probably my favorite shot of the morning. 

It was sunny and warm, so I took her older daughter outside for a few more shots since I definitely prefer an outdoor setting.

Now I should probably use the same props to take a few of my own kiddo before she grows up and refuses to pose for me!!!

Maternity Session

For a couple weeks, I had been trying to meet with Jamie, the mother-to-be (round two!) to get some maternity shots, but the weather was NOT cooperating. Fortunately, on the day that ended up working for all of us, the weather was fantastic. It was a bit chilly, but Jamie was a trooper and didn't mind one bit. As we had emailed to figure out dates and times, she shared her Pinterest page with me to give me an idea of some of the poses she was interested in. That was INCREDIBLY HELPFUL! We both printed out the Pinterest ideas and came to the session ready to shoot. 

I had a lot of favorites!

Totally not part of the session, but I love this image! What a great kid!

I've actually started asking potential clients if they are on Pinterest to see if they have similar pages to share with me. I've got lots of ideas going on in my head, but how nice to make sure they can get the poses they love!
