over the river and through the woods

A while back, I did my very first newborn session for a friend of ours whose daughter went to preschool with our son. Not too long ago, we all got together again fairly early in the morning at Pillsbury Crossing (a very cool little river crossing/wading area/waterfall spot) to do some more recent portraits of the kiddos. As you can see, young master D is a bit bigger than last time.

His big sister is just as cute as ever, though.

It was great to see how wonderfully they got along together.

Dad eventually showed up, straight from work, just to hang out with his family. I know one little boy who sure loves his daddy.

And one more. Just ’cause.

Thanks for such a fun time, guys! Can’t wait to see how big everyone is next time!

a complete surprise

Occasionally, in the life of every photographer (I hope), there’s one of those sessions, the ones where nothing seems to go right. I had one of those. The parents had driven a good distance to come out and shoot at Wamego’s City Park with their daughter and 16-month twins. Things went kind of rough.  There were tears, temper tantrums, wanderlust…it felt a lot like this:

As I sat d0wn to edit the images, I expected to not have very much to work with, but was completely surprised. Apparently, I wasn’t paying attention to the rest of the session. You know, the part that ROCKED!

Turns out, it was kind of hard to choose what to edit!

Yes, the girls had dolls that matched their dresses. Adorable!

a long awaited preview

About a month ago, my daughter’s kindergarten teacher from a year or so back got in touch with me. She and her family had moved back out to Western Kansas during the summer after she taught our daughter, but she and her kids were coming back out our way to visit some friends. While she was out visiting, she asked, would she be able to schedule some time for me to make some portraits of her kids? You betcha!

We got together at the park and had a good time playing around and hanging out. She brought her adorable kids and some fun toys, I brought my whole family and some yummy treats to share, and we had a blast!

Stacy, here’s a little sneak peek of what’s been going on behind the scenes as you’ve been waiting to receive your proofs. Hope it helps make the waiting just a little more bearable. ;)

First, the lovely Ainsley:

Her ball-of-energy little brother, Brogan:

As you might have noticed, the treats I brought were big, colorful, and sticky, which just added to all the fun we were having. The kids, however, didn’t seem to mind, as long as the other one kept their sticky, thieving hands to themselves, thank you very much! =]

And one of my very favorites so far, a little attempt at sisterly love:

Stacy, thanks so much for coming and hanging out with us at the park! Don’t worry…the rest of the proofs are on their way soon!
