Ashley & Ryan : The Coolest Couple

Just got back from the working with a super fun couple. They braved the mosquitoes (yes they're out..those little buggers) and spent some time patiently waiting for the sun to set. They were a riot and willing to do whatever I asked. Love them! Here's a few of my favorites starting with a little sunshine.
A little more of a artistic feel to this one.
Anyone like yellow?
I had my lovely assistant Natalie holding a light for something a little different.
Cute, Cute, Cute!
Yes, they were into the posing thing. Ahh..young love...
Love the mood of this photo.Beautiful coupleI set up some lighting to do a few of these fun shots below. I love how the couple just pop. Thanks for being such good sports Ashley & Ryan! I am really looking forward to your wedding day now. After a shoot like today... just imagine what I'll make ya do for the big day;P

Boys + Dirt = FUN!

This bloggin thing is addictive. After the post this morning I spent a little time in the back yard with the boys (who are still there now....I can watch and hear them through the office window) and thought...why not blog some more:)

I thought they were being a little quiet and looked up only to find they were having a blast loading the wheel barrow with dirt. They had it about half full too! Right now they are still busy playing with gravel and other garden tools. Andy is busy bossing Jack around and every once and a while Jack lets out a blood curdling scream "NO!"...just to let Andy his not going to follow his directions. Another "boy thing" is worms. Andy has been taught (by Oma) how important worms are for gardening and so he carefully put this one back into the dirt after observing it for a while.Silly faces.
Jack is quite thoughtful sometimes. Here he is pondering how to move the wheelbarrow...mommy helped.

Melissa is 3 years old

Here's a darling little girl who was not only beautiful but also a perfect subject! She did a fantastic job and I may have to start paying her mom for her modeling services:)
I love this photograph. There is something so sweet and innocent about it.Her mom stepped in for a few mother daughter moments.
Had to do funky shot too.

You can see where she gets her good looks from.


Thanks Melissa. I had so much fun with you today!

Emily & Jack

Emily and Jack had a date today. It was an arranged thing. I think it went well. Jack lured her with his trucks...she is into that kinda thing. Girl after his own heart. I think there is some promise of a future in this relationship. Only problem we noted is that they kept their distance when in front of the camera. I think they want to keep their little romance away from the paparazzi and it's critical glare. Don't worry we'll be keeping an eye out for these two and I'm sure some juicy photos will surface soon enough. Keep an eye out next time you're in the check out line and reading the tabloids:)

What a doll....no wonder Jack is falling for her! And quite the stud muffin himself!

Wow...a little peek-a-boo. Sassy girl!
He's very in touch with is softer side.
And she's fun loving and feisty.

Just a few more

I'm staying up late editing this wedding I shot a couple of weeks ago. Thought I'd share a few more shots; the couple are so darn cute!

I want my photos bigger...Help:)

So here's the deal; I don't like looking around for hours to find simple solutions. I'd much rather have someone tell me. I need your help! I would like the photos I post on this blog bigger. Anyone know how? This is the biggest I can get and I've seen bigger. Talk to me people:)

My Muse

So I have this fantastic babysitter that doubles as my muse. She came by to look after the boys for a while tonight and I had to grab a couple of shots of her before I left. Check out these eyes... and with the green sweater to play of them it worked out great.

Of course Andy and Jack wanted in on the action. They are always encouraging me to pull out my camera due to their amazing cuteness (that comes from my side of the family..heehee) And, they just had their hair cut today too.
