I was able to get my kids to cooperate yesterday, which for a photographer is just about the best thing ever.   Its so hard to photograph my kids, especially Maggie (the oldest).  Thankfully they knew what bribes were.  Even the baby.

For the full session, you can watch it here:

E. came in a couple of weeks ago for her 2 year session – which was great, because I photographed Miss E. as a newborn, and I love to watch my clients grow.  She is the most articulate 2 year old on the planet.  We had tons of conversations about Princesses and Disney World, and I just couldn’t get over how grown up she is – at TWO!  Her smile just lit up my day.

Her family is officially one of my most favorite clients ever.   I just love them!

E. as a itty bitty:

And now:

Catching up on some older session – here is baby K., sweet as can be.

Somehow I get the feeling that my companionship just isn’t enough for my family today.

This is mine – My Maggie.  She has a guitar that she loves.  Nana bought the guitar – a sweet little pink number that doesn’t ever stay in tune.  She loves it though, and to her, she is a rock star.  She wrote a song this morning, like she does about once a week.  Once, when we were playing ‘American Idol’ (she was the contestants), she made up her audition songs on the spot…and did so for 40 minutes.  She made up about 20 songs – it was truly hilarious.  Here is todays song.

once upon a time

in a little wood house

a sweetie baby and cutie pie

and they were very beautiful

they lived in a little nest

and they were really pretty

they flapped all around

they flapped all around all day

they ate all day

all day

they jumped all day

they played all day

and they met a cat

that was really mean

so they were scared

and they flew away

and they were really scared

and they went back to their

far away nest

One day she’ll fill stadiums, but for now she’s content to just rock out on her little pink guitar.
