Chloe and Clayton CHRISTMAS IMAGES...

CHLOE AND CLAYTON:
These two cuties are almost one and almost two, but they are about they same size. What cuties they are! They did so good for their Christmas Portraits. The Mimi liked the more serious expression of Chloe and I have to agree. She is so pretty and this expression has a nice baby doll look for her...don't you agree?

I HAVE MORE CHRISTMAS IMAGES TO POST, BUT FOR NOW I AM JUST POSTING THESE OF CHLOE AND CLAYTON BECAUSE THEIR GRANDMOTHER HAS ASKED ABOUT THEM. I THINK SHE WANTS THEIR MOMMY AND OTHER GRANDMOTHER TO SEE HOW GOOD THEY DID FOR THEIR CHRISTMAS PORTRAITS.

Hatch Extended Family's Portrait Session

THE HATCH FAMILY:
I met Katie this past spring when I photographed Julia's Newborn Portrait Session. Yes, many people think I only photograph babies or newborns. I guess babies are my speciality. I have always loved babies and baby stuff...how could they not be.
As you can see below, I do photograph families too. This is portrait is the formal portrait from the session. Katie and her husband are on the left side of the image, her parents in the middle, and her sister and her husband on the right. The babies dressed in red are Julia and Jack. The first grandson and granddaughter for these grandparents.

SNEAK PREVIEW 2007 CHRISTMAS PORTRAITS

Braxton & Colby
I got a chance to work on some of the images from the last two days. I haven't finished editing, but I thought I would post a few. I think these are just precious. I think I had more boys so far this year...today may be more girls...we'll see...

Reagan

Baxton Houston

Our little Natalie...and, of course, she was the most un-cooperative child of the day. I had two others dresses that I wanted to photograph her in, but she had to go out of town with her parents and other grandparents. So maybe...I mean hopefully, I will find an opportunity to do the others here in the studio, but I really wanted this look for her in those too. Oh well....I am sure I can come up with something. (LOL)

Natalie and Emma

Emma

That's all I have ready for now. I was pleased with the look for this year. I will try to post more later. I hope you enjoy your sneak preview for now.

MY LAST PORTRAIT SESSION

Aren't these the cutest brothers?
This is my most recent session (yesterday). I have tons ahead of them, but as I scanned through them, I fell in love with these images as well as these boys. They are all boy, but also as sweet as they can be. They reminded me of days when my son was a little boy...that is when he wasn't exerting his strong-will, he was as sweet and loving as he could be. (lol)

Baby Jared (4 mos.)
the oldest, Nicholas (8 yrs. old)

and the middle child, Cane (5 years old)
Have you ever seen any cuter little boys? Well, if you said yes, I am sure you have boys of your own. The middle boy, Cane, reminds me so much of my little cutie nephew, Dalton. Dalton has brown hair, but his eyes and dimples were almost duplicated in this child.

a close-up of the baby...

Cotton field portraits...I love them!

I love this one in the long horizontal crop. What mom wouldn't love this image of her boys. I know from personal experience that mothers love images of their children that we them looking "loving" towards each other, especially because they are usally fighting. But we all know that deep down they love each other. (at least we hope and pray that they do...)

These brothers were particularing fond of their baby brother. Older siblings can make a baby laugh like no one else can!
That is when they aren't in front of the camera too!

Not a big smile on Baby Jared, but a sweet pleasant overall expression from all three children---that's every photographer's desire when it comes to photographing two or more children in a group.

A little different twist in the color and tone of this image. I think Mom will like this. She mentioned really liking a spepia-toned image that is on display in my studio. Cane and Nicholas were telling their baby brother all about cotton. I don't know for sure, but this is probaby his first time to see cottton, but all he really wanted to was put it in his mouth!

I hope you enjoyed these as much as I do. If you know anything about me, I have become most known my fine baby portraitrue (especially newborns) thank's to my good friend and local OB/GYN, my newborn work has continued to grow tremendously the last few years. From time to time, it is refreshing to do something different!. And fun to show that yes, I do do other work too. I often get asked if I only photographs babies. At one time I considered specializing exclusively in infants, but since then I have changed my mind (at least for now)...though babies are still my favorite and I think always will be. I think I have always loved babies and baby stuff. It was so fun when my babies were little dressing them in cute baby clothes , blankets and such...now I have so much fun "playing baby doll" with my little Natalie (my 27 month old granddaughter). And as long as I continue to do what I do, I get to keep playing.

OKAY, IF YOU JUST FOUND THIS BLOG YOU ARE WONDERING ABOUT THE CHRISTMAS PROMO. I STARTED THIS BLOG TO POST ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE UPCOMING PROMO. I WAS PLANNING AFTER THE PROMOTION TO TRY TO KEEP IT GOING BY POSTING RECENT SESSIONS AND MAYBE EVEN SOME PORTFOLIOS OF VARIOUS CATEGORIES LIKE SENIORS, NEWBORNS, ETC. BUT AS I STATED I REALLY LIKED THESE IMAGES...I GUESS IT HELPED PHOTOGRAPHING SUCH PHOTOGENIC LITTLE BOYS. SO STAY TUNED AND SEE WHAT'S UP!
