My First Maternity Shoot is a To Be Continued...

I am so happy to have the opportunity to capture such a beautiful and radiant mom for my first maternity shoot. For now, I offer only a small peek. There will be much more to come (you will see that Dad is pretty cute too).

Did you notice that I said I "have" the opportunity instead of "had?" You see, this endeavour is an on-going one.

Day One began with a boat ride. As we arrived on the island for the shoot, the skies opened and the rains came down. Day Two will probably not include a boat ride, but I expect the fabulousness from this darling family will continue. Stay tuned...

I Heart Faces - Surprise!

From out of the darkness...

When she made her decision to stroll the grounds of the picturesque, college campus that day, she did not consider the unbearable heat that would pour down from the late afternoon sun. So, when she came upon the corridor, she quickly stepped inside in search of cool shade--unaware of what lurked within the shadows…

Surprise!

In truth, it was hot. But, she did not escape the heat into the corridor alone. Her photographer (that would be me) was there with her. Oh yes, and her humorous hubby, who thought it would be fun to stir things up during our shoot. So many times I reprimanded, “Hey! Get out of my shot!” Did he listen? Noooo. But for the sake of this genuinely surprising photo (with the "grrrr-face" silhouette), I'll let it slide.

Check out other surprises this week at I Heart Faces here.

Wordless Wednesday - Shhhh

Wordless, because you know the rules--You Wake Him, You Take Him!

No Pictures Please

He was very clear with his request. “We don’t want to picture right now. We just want to play.” And yet, like a card-carrying member of the paparazzi, I stood by the sidelines snapping away. It wasn’t easy. As I said, his friend’s request was sincere. No “picturing” was the order of the day. But, if you know me at all, you know I couldn’t resist. The smile on Nicholas’s face was pure sunshine. So yes, I captured a few moments. But, for me, this “no picture” picture is truly the one that tells the story.

A Little off the Top!

I love this kid's hair! I really do. And, I can't imagine giving him that traditional "boy cut." Not yet. But, I do admit, it may be time to trim a little off the top!
