My Fresh Faces 2010 Winner came in yesterday for his first session.

And like all 1 year olds was more interested in moving than sitting.

We did manage to capture a few images of him in between his juice, snacks and toys.

Looking forward to capturing more at their family session this fall.

Tonight I had Mr Charlie in the studio for a quick session………..

He was such a good dog and definitely the largest dog ever to step into my studio.  I should of put something in the shot so you could tell how large this cutie really is.

I am just guessing that when he was sitting his head was approx 4ft off the ground.  He made my little dogs look like little mice in comparison. 

Little Man “D” turns 1 Month Old!

This little cutie pie was so sweet and snuggly.  He came by just in time to get a few 1 month shots and some family pics with Mom & Dad.

I do believe he was my first little boy baby to NOT christen any of the blankets during the au natural shots.

Here are few sneak peeks of him………..  almost done preparing the rest for Mom & Dad to see and share!  Gallery should be online Wednesday or Thursday.

Tonight I stepped out into my own backyard paradise of flowers……..

Decided a little macro lens play was in order.  Not the easiest task with the wind blowing my flowers and trying to manually focus up real close.

Thought I would share a bit of the color in my yard with all of you.

Enjoy!

Tonight was a trip to the park………..

We fought off mosquitos for an hour to grab a few shots of Mother & Son.

Poor guy was full of bites in just the first few minutes.  I had to photoshop out a bite on his poor forehead

This mom and son have a special place in my heart and will always be part of the “family”.  Love you guys!

Here are a few sneak peeks………… rest are uploading to the proofing gallery now.

Just after a rain shower I looked out our window to notice this little guy trying so very hard to get into the bird feeder.

I sat and watched him for several minutes then decided to run off and grab my camera.

Usually that is the time what ever I want to take a picture of decides they are done and moves on……….lol

But not this time.  This litle guy spent a very long time climbing up, sliding down, and clinging tight to get the sunflower seeds inside.

So determined in fact I was able to almost walk right up to the bird feeder.  I would take a few pics, take a few steps,

take a few more pics then a few more steps  you get the picture.

Until I was maybe 5 ft from the feeder then the tail starting flicking and letting me know he didnt appreciate me interrupting his task.

In fact I do believe in the one pic he was giving me “the look”  haha

Enjoy!

Tonight we had a short session to capture a few more images of these little boys…….

Such cuties!

We headed to Sinnissippi Park and did some baseball images.  Hope you enjoy!

Congratulations to Entry #3 for winning my Fresh Faces 2010 contest

Watch for this adorable little winner’s pics coming in July!

Thanks to all who entered.  All non-winning entries still receive a prize.

To claim yours contact me to setup an appointment.

Sunday I had the pleasure of photographing the Grandchildren for this family.

Last year when we did family pictures there were only 5 grandchildren and now this year there family has grown and they have 7

It was so fun to see how much the 5 from last year had changed and to meet the new additions.

Here are some of the images I captured.

Almost done with the rest of the gallery.  I should have them up for you in a day or so.

Enjoy your sneak peek…………

That is a $50 value! (plus the added savings on prints)
