We love working with little kids: you never know what you are going to get. Sometimes you get models that love to be in front of the camera. Sometimes you get the shy ones who want to attached themselves to Mom’s leg and never let go. We also get our share of wild ones that barely sit still long enough to get a picture. We love them all. We are a kid friendly place. We have lots of toys and all the kids no where the snack bucket is.

Adalyn at 3 Months

Adalyn is 3 months old already. Wow, does time fly and the little ones change so fast. Here is a picture of Adalyn when she was a newborn and then some of her 3 month pictures to show how much she has changed.

You have to have patience with babies. We take our time and let the kids get comfortable first and then we can take pictures.
You get to pick out your images right away, saving huge amounts of time and gas.

Now if we did not quite get what you wanted the first time, we can easily take a few more without having to schedule a new appointment. The longer the kids are here, the more they seem to like it. Our studio is big enough that they can run and play and still be in plain sight.

Keilah…It’s Easter

03 23 08 NDX 0273 Keilah...Its Easter

Happy Easter! It’s a day of hope and a day for family. Like most Sundays, we are closed. We’ll be back tomorrow morning.

We cut a telephone wire by accident in the basement while removing the old stove. We will have it spliced back together tomorrow morning. The phone still works in the studio but doesn’t ring in the house right now.

Keilah came to see us yesterday afternoon along with the rest of her extended family. ElizaBeth is fantastic at getting babies to smile.

We are lucky because we can do large family groups inside. Since our studio is an old church, there is plenty of room for everyone. We’ve done groups of up to 40 people inside. We have places for large groups outside as well.

Little John

Little John, one of our Baby Plan babies is no baby any more. He’s three years old now.

The whole family has been a little under the weather since sunday, but things are looking up. The coughs, sniffles, aches and pains are slowly going away. Everyone is back at school and the studio…Life is almost normal – whatever normal is this time of year.

You never know what you are going to get when you are working with babies. Sometimes the outtakes are fun to show off too. It’s nice to have that perfect smile, but along the way we can get lots of attitude like we got from Jake this afternoon.

Madysen turns 3

1 21 07 Madysen NDX 7737 Madysen turns 3Sometimes Dad can feel like the safest place to be.

Madysen turned 3 years old on Saturday and even though we’ve been taking her pictures since she was born, it took a few minutes for her shyness to go away. While I love the images of her laughing at she played with ElizaBeth and our daughter Rachel, this picture of Madysen holding onto Dad brings a flood of emotions to me because our own kids have grown up much already.
