18 months & 4 years old!

I have been taking pictures for this family since little “A” was 3 months old and her brother was 2! They sure are growing up and becoming cuter every time I see them! This is another mom who has the outfit changing down to a science. She just changes her as we are running around. The key here is to bring a wagon with you so you can throw all your stuff into it as we run ALL over the park. And we literally run all over the place. There is no stopping little ones. And mom just chamges as “A” runs. You have to be there to see it….

We were supposed to have the help of dad but it turned out he was out of town the day of our session so “J” and I had these two all by our selves. Rescheduling was out of the question b/c as most of you know I am booked 3-4 months out. We did a great job of making sure no one fell into the water and everyone was happy (until the end when we couldn’t find any water!). So I just put on my 70-200/2.8IS lens and we went to town! Normally I don’t do an entire shoot with this lens on and I put my 85/1.2 and 24-70/2.8 on for a few of the shots but when you have little ones the long lens just works b/c I can be far away and get the job done.

“J” your kids are beautiful and such little gems to work with (and so are you!). Thank you for another great session. We will see you this fall for your Christmas pix! Enjoy your images and slide show HERE!

8 mths old

I met up with this little gal again last week for her 8 mth session. She wasn’t feeling so hot, but the session still ran smoothly. Mom always has the bet outfits and we moved quickly in and out of outfits to keep little “H” happy. She had her little tu tu (which I love!), the onsie with her name on it (another fav), the yellow dress and her lady bug outfit. Typically I tell people two outfit changes max for the kids, unless you are a pro at changing fast and can keep the little ones in good spirits. I help out here too but not spending to much time with them until we are on the last outfit and then we can just hang out and capture life. I will go through the first few outfits pretty fast so we can get them into an outfit for the rest of the session. If you know me, I move fast, talk fast and pretty much do everything fast! I am not sure if this is always a good thing but in my business it helps!

Thank you guys for another great session! I will see you again this fall with the whole family for the one year session. For those of you with baby packages, if you want family to join in on a session you can pay the extra head fee (how bad does that sound?!?!?) and get others in the photos, if you wish. Enjoy your images and slide show HERE!

On another note there are a lot of exciting things happening at JMI! First, I will be featured in a news magazine here in a few weeks for my weddings… how exciting is that! I will keep you posted and when it comes out I will reveal the name so you can check it out. Second, I have been doing a lot of work lately and I have a lot to post. I have 10×20 storyboards to share (these come on stand out boards that ROCK!), I designed a wedding invitation and RSVP cards for one of my brides that I want to share, a lot of baby announcements and just lots of work! I hope to get some of these things out soon. I am also doing some charity work this summer and I will fill you in on that later too. This means you will have to keep reading….

I do want to thank you for your interest in my work too. I get so many nice e-mails and even snail mail letters and cards thanking me for my service. I want you all to know I would do this all for free if I could! That is how much I enjoy what I do. It doesn’t feel like a job, so that means I have the best job ever. If bills did not need to be paid, kids did not need to be fed (I had to say that) I would do this for free. Hugs to everyone who is so kind to me! You make me wake up and smile every day and thank the Lord for the blessing he has given me…..

8 mths old

I have been following this little gal since she was born. She is 8 mths old now and such a little cutie. We crawled all over the house and played outside for a few min. She even has a new puppy named baps. They got him on the day of her baptism and named him after the day (how creative!). He wanted to be in the pictures more than she did!

It was good to see you guys again. The next time I see you little “L” will be one! Enjoy your images and slide show HERE!

Happy Dad Day!

Today was a great day! I got to spend Dad day having lunch with my dad and that makes me smile:)! I knew I would be out of town today (I shot a wedding this weekend OOT) so my hubby got a few days of dad day surprises last week…details coming! First, I have to say it was so good to see my family today. My wedding was in McPherson, KS which is close to my sister so after the wedding last night I drove to her house, spent the night, got up took some pix of my nephews and then my parents came over and we all went to brunch. It was a fast morning and I missed my family and church here, but it was so good to spend the morning with my fam.

Now for my hubby! Posted is the canvas we got him and it turned out perfect (I wanted it to be a little bigger but to get my sons feet to stay on the picture this was the only size that worked.. it is still perfect!). He got cards from the kiddos (one plays the superman song and yes, we are listening to it over and over!) and was able to spend two days last week fishing with his dad which made his heart very happy.

Happy Dad day, honey! I love you. You are the best husband any girl could ask for and I am blessed God put you in my life….

Big brother….brand new sister

This past weekend, early in the morning, I captured this little guy and his brand new little sister. The session took place at their home. Both of these little ones had their A game on! “C” and I ran all over the house, up the street and back and then ended up on the porch for baby sisters part of the session. He was the easiest 4 year old I have ever done. I am not kidding you when I say this either. He had his good listening ears on the ENTIRE time. He never acted up and was such a champ! I let him do his thing and I captured it. I love laid back parents who let me take their kiddos for a bit! I even love laid back parents who let me lay their newborn in the middle of their yard for some of the session!

Little “C” could not keep his hands off of his sister! He was kissing her, feeding her and just wanting to be near her the entire time… it was so adorable. There was a lot of love between them. He is going to be a good big brother! She is one lucky gal….

Thank you guys for a great session. It was so nice to meet you. Enjoy your images and slide show HERE!
