Sneak peek of Andrew

This little guy and his family are a joy to photograph. I thought this one by the tree was cute (there are several really cute ones by this big tree). It's like a natural growth chart--each year around his birthday, we can take a photo of him by this tree and watch him get bigger and bigger in comparison to the tree. There are some good ones of the family and big brother too! Still working...

HO HO HO. It's that time Again!!

After last year's craziness, I vowed to reform my holiday program so I can keep my *remaining* sanity and to try NOT to have to turn anyone away. So this year, in order to fit as many families in as I can, I am booking mini sessions! They last about 30-40 minutes and cost $75.

I betcha my last six dollars that you will be smiling when you see these pictures

You're smiling aren't you? I have been photographing these two crack-ups for over 2 years! I can't believe it! Their mom appreciates a casual style that captures them being themselves. I once photographed these two in their PJs on Mom and Dad's bed! fun stuff! Enjoy your sneak peek Y. Family!

What to Wear

So you have a family session coming up and you‘re obsessing about what everybody is going to wear? Lucky for you I decided to gather some specific clothing ideas right here on the little blog!
Choose clothes that allow you and your family to be the star of the photos. You do not have to match, but you should coordinate. Think about “Color Families” like jewel tones or nature tones, or a monotone palette such as varying shades of blue (navy, aqua, pale, royal) paired with a neutral chocolate brown. Let the individual personalities speak subtly in the clothing using layers and textures, but try to avoid being overly trendy. Remember, something classic will look great for much longer that something trendy.
Another thing to consider is where you will hang this portrait and where the photo will be taken. If you plan to put the portrait in a living room decorated in pastels, then olive-y, nature tones wouldn’t be the best choice for clothing. And finally, if for example, the photo will be taken in the outdoors in the changing fall leaves, then patterns, florals, pinks and yellows really need to be avoided.
Most importantly, wear something you can be yourself in during the session because we’re gonna have fun!

Baby Barrett

You know I L.O.V.E. his name! (My older son has the same name.) This "baby Barrett" got his name from his Daddy's middle name. Here's a peek of the little guy--I believe he was 12 days old.

ETA: had to add another one!

Gage: Baby Planner turns one!

What a pleasure it has been to watch this little guy grow! He has such a sweet personality to go with those big blue eyes! I hope I'll get to see more of him in the future!

Lucy

I hadn't posted these before b/c I didn't have her release yet. I don't want her to feel left out and by gum, she's just so cute. Here's little Lucy. And her sweet brother too.
