all in the family , lil' kids | January 17, 2011

I love "at home" sessions because life changes.

Kids grow up.

They don't want measuring charts and pink everywhere pretty soon. They don't want to be cuddled and hold chickens pretty soon. They would simply die if they were ever discovered being crazy in love with a stuffed animal pretty soon.

I hate when this happens....but I love it. Isn't growth bittersweet? Maybe I'm just a weirdo. ;)

Goodness, that landscape is soooo breathtaking. I am having strange thoughts of wondering if I could make my desert wasteland look as beautiful as that. I don't know if it's possible... but maybe one of these days I'll try... :)

the wood boat

all in the family , lil' kids | December 29, 2010

Last year we did a vintage nursery rhymes theme. This year, we went with *the* wood boat.

Such a great, great story behind this boat. I'll try to give you the abbreviated version and do it justice :

Granddad worked for a guy who bought this boat.

Granddad saw the name on the front and realized that it was made literally next door in the neighborhood he grew up in ... several states away from here. He tells his son and daughter in law how significant it is to him...reminds him of his childhood.

Dude sold the boat.

Granddad passed away.

Several years later, Erica (daughter in law) finds the new boat owner and buys it for Travis (son of Granddad) as a gift.

Are you crying? I am. I love significance. I love this story. I love this family.

(and I'm pretty fond of these images, too!)

crazy texans

all in the family , lil' kids | December 20, 2010

This family moved to the area from Texas a few years ago...you might remember their last session Guitarzan?

You know what they say about Texas, right? Everything is bigger! True for this fam for sure...big personalities, big smiles, and hearty laughs. We had a blast...love working with them and watching their boy get smarter and smarter and smarter...

another dream location

all in the family , lil' kids | December 16, 2010

I've been wanting to photograph this family at this location for about 3 years now. Getting to see that vision played out was awesome! You might have seen the Life, Actually we did that day? If not, check it out!

Incredibly amazing people, outstanding imagination and just watching them do daily life is enough joy and laughter for me to absolutely fill my cup!!

I sometimes wish I were able to articulate more eloquently, but fortunately or unfortunately, that's just not who I am, so! Intrigued and unusually satisfied describes how I feel when I am watching children be amazed and overly excited by the simplicities life offers...you know, like roly poly's n' stuff. :)

Great time, great shoot, and hopefully some beautiful memories for this awesome crew.
