I Love Taking Pictures

Okay let me rephrase that... I like taking pictures. I love capturing a moment, an emotion, the real person, telling the story of a moment in time for everyone to see. I love the look on my client's face when we've finished a shoot that has been more fun than work, the glow they get from having such a good time and the anticipation that dances in their eyes as they wonder if I captured what they want to be. And the look of utter delight when they realize that I did indeed capture their spirit and they look more amazing then they ever imagined. Yes, I like taking pictures. But I love being part of the beauty and love that is life and capturing it for all the world to see.

A Shoot Like None Other!

Okay, okay, okay! I give in already. I usually love a challenge. You know... a kid who doesn't want anything to do with having their picture taken... with a mom who is always saying "cheese" just when you get said kid to crack a smile? Or the newborn baby who would rather cry and fuss than coo for the camera? But an entire family that would rather have their spleens cut out than have a camera around????
So I gave in, laughed a lot and got this!







Of course there were a few bright spots. Like these two cute (and cooperative) subjects.
Okay... maybe it wasn't all that bad and they weren't really all that camera-phonic. It was a grand adventure and well worth the laughs.

Thanks for a great day!

Introducing the Walker Quads

Warning! This is just the first of many long posts of exceptionally beautiful babies & their amazing family.

It started as as most relationships do... the simple attraction between a beautiful girl and a handsome young man & it blossomed into love. As their love grew so did their desire to have a baby. They got their wish... times four. Four perfectly beautiful babies: Jillian, Cameron, Cash and Jack. I went to their home to meet the little ones and capture this special time in their lives. Here is a glimpse of what their day is like.

They call their living room "Baby Island" and it is. Everywhere you look there are babies and baby stuff .


These are the amazing parents.

Who are very much in love with each other.

They are also in love with their children. You can see it on their faces when they think of the babies, hear it in their voices when they talk to the little ones and feel it as soon as you walk into their home.
Dad is amazingly comfortable and gentle with the little ones.



I am sure that the babies feel safe and secure in his strong hands.






Mom is beautiful inside and out. She is so calm and relaxed... quite a feat with so many babies demanding her time and attention.








We took advantage of their building's big lobby which has a lot of light and space.




This is one of my favorites.









Like I said this is just the first of several posts staring the Walker Quads. (I had way too many favorites... but in my defense there are four of them!)

Her Best Face Forward

I know, I know! I say I have the best job in the world ALL the time. But that's because it's true. Take shooting Danielle for example... sweet & beautiful, playful and smart. Who wouldn't want to spend time with her? We spent some time together this week to capture her inner and outer beauty.

The pictures were for her yearbook so I designed a page that fits her personality.
Danielle - thanks for trusting me to capture your pretty face and beautiful heart. I'm thrilled you like your page. (And thanks mom for trusting me with your "baby". She rocked it didn't she?!?!)
