all in the family , baby babies | November 03, 2009

The precious, precious moments of adding a newborn are such a keepsake! As I look through these images, I could completely just almost, kind of, okay not really at all have another baby...but it DOES send me through that process! Those sweet little toes, the interaction with the rest of the family? oooohweeee! melt.

Some things that you may (or may not) be interested to know here...the basket that you see the baby in was made by hand by the baby's g'ma! How cool is that! I want to make a basket this cool!

The paper that you see with "blue" words are from one of the girls feelings of responsibility to name her ball team. She was going through the creative process to pick just the perfect name. I was so inspired by that! I love young people who get inspired and think creatively...then really? I love old people that do that, too. ;)

I love so many of these images because it's exactly what the feeling was like being in their home. That doesn't say much to some, but for me....it's exactly what makes my heart sing. I'm photographing this story for the children featured in these images in hopes that someday, they can flip through their book and look back through pictures on their walls and say, look how much we loved each other, even then! Special moments like bringing a baby home from the hospital shouldn't be taken lightly! We only have a small window of opportunity to document those tiny little people. ;)

more beachy-ness

all in the family , lil' kids | November 02, 2009

Same family, different days...shoot a little, hang out a little. We (Taylor and I) had a great time going down to photograph this mini series of sessions.

The beautiful little champagne dress that you see here is from Opal Petit Clothier

What an INCREDIBLE designer she is! I saw these dresses from one of my bookmarked magazine sites and instantly fell in love with them.....and then I received them! Wow. Impeccable quality and not to mention, pretty fun to wear (or so it seemed). Nonetheless, they make beautiful images!

So, the dress.....and our other fun, fun family pictures to include, silliness, meltdowns, and good wholesome lovin'. Enjoy!

inspired by 20s and 30s venice beach images

all in the family , lil' kids | November 01, 2009

As I began searching for inspiration for this beach session, I remembered a few old family photos that I noticed in their beach house last time I visited. They were reminiscent of old Venice Beach style images where the family was just documented playing on the beach. Things weren't "prettied up" in photoshop or in camera, they were just a very real depiction of what a day at the beach was like. I loved the black and white nostalgia of the whole look and thought we would try it out. Are they super duper creative? no. Are they wildly intoxicating? hardly. Are they seriously a truthful representation of what a day at the beach is like for this family? yep. exactly. I really, really love the way it turned out. The feel of the images is just what I was looking for. I C A N N O T WAIT to see this book designed around the concept of this shoot (or this portion of the shoot, anyway).

a happy session by amanda

all in the family , lil' kids | October 29, 2009

I love this fast paced little family! We got to run run run around the park. The little boy was just that...a boy, and just enjoyed being outside, playing. (so fun!) The little girl was a funny bear. She was giggly but also serene, such a great personality. She loved making faces and dancing in the open field. She made me want to put on a pretty white dress and spin in the sunshine!

a rarity for us...sneek peeK

all in the family | October 23, 2009

Gotta love those Brackens! Besides being some of my closest friends, they are totally up for anything. Willing to go above and beyond to make it happen. Lots and lots of prep time. Lots of research. Lots of planning. Lots of HOLY WOW in the end. Payoff. Big, big payoff for all that hard work! If I said words like "woot", I would prolly insert one here, but I don't, sooooooo...yeehaw! ;)

We typically don't do sneek peeks, but seriously...I think if I had to sit on this much longer I might just pop. This concept turned out exactly the way I hoped it would! What do you think?

Tina
You've hit perfection so many times it has become a routine address for you. AWESOME! You rank among the worlds best in your trade and certainly the best in our area. I am so impressed with your work, your life and your testimony in Christ. Every time I see one of your great pieces I think can she do any better -- and you do!!!
