you can tell by the way this family is dressed how long ago this session took place. it is now hot, humid and miserable. i am so far behind in posting sessions, yikes! on this session, it was a rainy day but we had already rescheduled due to the rain the prior weekend. the rain never did pass over, so we made the best of the situation. umbrellas and boots always make fun props!

due to leaving a few minutes late, then construction and bridges being closed, i was very late for this session. thankfully the little girl was able to stay awake (yay for lunch breaks!) through the session. i was also thankful for cute polk a dot rugs, covered forts and porches for shade. there wasn’t a single cloud in the sky this day! very sweet kids, and the boy was full of energy..go figure!

two blog posts in one day..wow! i wanted to get these posted today, because tomorrow will be the newborn session of the new baby. i love photographing toddlers. they are so shy at first, but quickly warm up. he was such a sweet boy and loved his thomas trains.
i have no idea of what happened, but after uploading these photos they seem to have lost some color. i will have to fix that later. right now i need to go get my own kiddos some dinner, and then out to learn to crochet with jill of D.R. photography and design..i’m excited.

somehow a month has gone by since my last blog post. we had a great Christmas and New Year, and i hope you all did too. perhaps in the next week i will blog a few personal photos from the last month, but for now here are some photos that i really, really wanted to post before Christmas. knitting presents, baking, school parties, and taking care of last minute orders and photo shoots got in the way that…
it was super cold and snowing for this session, which resulted in only about 45 minutes of actual shooting time. looking back at these, i have no idea of how they handled having their coats off. i was beyond freezng! there was a small break at the dunkin’ donuts to get warmed up. it was her first donut, so that was fun to see. once again, this is the third time i have been able to photograph this family and she is turning into one beautiful little girl!

i am so thankful for this amazingly warm fall we have had here in pittsburgh! it has made my photo shoots way more comfortable during this busy time of year (up until this past weekend anyways!) this session was a lot of fun, and the little girl is full of personality.

I’m a bit late, but Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone enjoyed their day and had a relaxing weekend. on Thanksgiving, we had a very impromptu overnight babysitter thanks to my parents. the mister and i enjoyed a very lazy friday..very nice! this past weekend i used the self timer to try to get my own family portrait. out of 120 shots there were a few that were useable. my son enjoys making faces at the camera, singing, and clapping his hands..haha! i think this may have been the first family photo with the 4 of us where there was no crying. so i guess you could call it a success.
