These children have the most gorgeous, big, beautiful blue eyes! As a photographer, one of my favorite things about photography is photographing eyes. And, these little cutie-pies seem to be made just for me! Little Abigail was just a sweet little lady…very dainty and not liking to get dirty! 🙂 And Sawyer was all boy…busy and on the go! Thanks for sharing your sweet children with me. They are adorable! Hope you love your sneak peek!
She has the CUTEST little smile!! LOVE!!! There are some kids that are just c.u.t.e. and little Miss Ella is so cute. She’s just this petite little bundle of happiness and the sweetest little smile you’ve seen in a while. We had a beautiful morning on Saturday playing together in the warm sunshine and she did such a wonderful job on her session. Her Mom and Dad just love her so very much and it’s so fun to see. Miss Ella, you were a joy and I loved working with ya’ll. Thank you for sharing your beautiful little girl! 🙂
Caleb is a sweet and happy baby boy! He has to be one of the most even-tempered little boys I’ve ever photographed. And, so very sweet! I enjoyed our morning out for his session to mark his one year birthday. I just love his little “movie-star” hair that curls in a sweep over to the side. Oh, and those blue eyes? Don’t even get me started. 🙂 Happy Birthday, Mr. Caleb!
Abby is so shy…well, maybe not so much! This sweet baby girl has grown up so fast this past year and I can hardly believe that she is already 14 months old. Abby is one of my sweet baby planners from this past year and we have had such a great time working together. I thought that Abby’s first two sessions were just amazing, but she saved this best for last. We met up Sunday afternoon…remember how extremely windy it was? That was a challenge! 🙂 Abby showed up ready to go and FULL of personality. She had a blast hamming it up for the camera as myself, her parents and 4 grandparents watched “The Abby Show”. It was such a pleasure getting to capture her little personality through my lens. It brings me joy to know that moment will always be around for her parents to enjoy! These next 6 photos are just a sampling of the joy that she shared with us in the first few minutes of her session. There were more of her cute faces, but these are my favorites! They’ll make you smile! 😉
And, one quick one with Mom and Dad, too!
I am always a little nervous to move a child when they are obviously SO happy in a spot; however, shouldn’t have been with Abby. She was just as happy the rest of the afternoon and I love all her photos. The bonnet one is my FAV!!! Thank you, Brandon and Emily for sharing your sweet daughter with me this past year. I have enjoyed every moment!
I love this girl! Nora is another beautiful little girl whom I’ve had the pleasure of photographing most of her life. This year, she was a “big” girl. No doubt about it. She has changed so much in the past year and we had a great time on Friday having her special day. Nora is about to be a “big” sister for the first time in a few weeks, but this session was all about her. All about her smile, and her giggle. All about her happy grin and love for the silly faces her mom makes. All about her growing up and becoming a beautiful young lady! Just love her! 🙂
Ya’ll..let me tell you. This session was SO.MUCH.FUN!! I loved it! One of the biggest blessings to me in this job is the ability to see return clients year after year and to see how they grow and change. I have been photographing Lacy since she was several months old and her sister since she was a baby as well. They always photograph beautifully, however, this session just seemed to top them all. I just love Lexi’s little pigtails. To me, they just make the picture! And Miss Lacy was so good on Friday and just did exactly what was asked and as a result we got some beautiful images. Take a look…
My personal favorite of the day is below. I just love everything about this one! 🙂
Don’t know why, but the below image just speaks to me. So lovely of her…
And, finally, the girls grandmother came along for the shoot as our helper for the day and so we ended up with a few “generational” shots. They weren’t planned ahead but I think they are coordinated and lovely! What a sweet, sweet family. Jennifer, thank you for sharing your family with me all these years. Hope you love these as much as I do! 🙂
Amber is a beautiful young lady, both inside and out! I was so honored to have some time with Amber and her mom this weekend to photograph her for her Senior Portraits! We met up at the Botanic Gardens and the beautiful day was a bit windy; however, Miss Amber rocked it and we ended up with some fabulous shots of her. Amber is planning on going into the mission field someday, specifically to work in orphanages in Guatemala. I love it! God has His hand on this young lady’s life and I am so excited to see where He leads her. Amber, you are so sweet and beautiful; and, it is such a joy to know you. I look forward to seeing all that you become! Congratulations!! 🙂
You’ve been asking and the info has arrived! How is a Mini Session different from a regular session? Well, it is only about 15-20 minutes and you receive approximately 10 fully edited custom proof images from which to choose. Why choose a Mini? So many reasons…here’s a few that come to mind. Mother’s Day! Do a session just with Mom & kids. What about Senior Portraits? Not everyone wants a full hour’s worth of photos, so why not take advantage and still end up with at least 10 shots from which to choose? How long has it been since you and your husband/wife had photos taken of just the two of you? What about a session with Grandparents and Grandchildren? Did your daughter just loose her front two teeth and she is so cute you can’t stand it? 🙂 The possibilities are endless. However, with the Mini Session you still get the time and talent and expertise of the photographer (that’s me!), an online proof gallery and a slide-show set to music, access to our full line of products, and the 1:17 customer service that we pride ourselves on!
I’m so excited to share with you the information for our Spring Mini Sessions for 2011. I tried to pick a couple of locations with completely different “looks” so that you have options in choosing. The locations are a Saturday evening in April at Memorial Park and a Friday evening in May at Arlington Town Square. The April session at Memorial Park is when the azaleas should be at their peak (hopefully-as this is based on the weather!). Combine this with the awesome textures of the bridges and rocks there and it is a beautiful setting. Arlington Town Square has become one of my favorites locations to shoot because it offers such a broad variety of backgrounds from which to choose in such close proximity. Both of these locations are customer favorites. I am posting example photos from both locations below.
See below for all the exciting details! Need to schedule your session time? Simply contact jodie@117photography.com with your desired date and she’ll be happy to help you complete the process. Again, these sessions are always a customer favorite so if you see an idea that sounds like something you’d like, don’t delay!
And now, to help inspire you, a few favorites from past sessions for each location. First some from Memorial Park, the location of our April Mini Session.
And, some from Arlington Town Square, the location of our May Mini Session! Hope to see you at a Mini this spring! 🙂
Well, maybe not sitting so much! Joey much preferred to stand and hold onto something more than sit! 🙂 Do you remember this sweet baby face from last year?
Joey is just adorable! That dark hair and those dark eyes that sparkle! Love him! Joey is another of our Little Gifts Newborn Club babies and this was the 2nd of his shoots with us this year. He was so happy, but really didn’t like the dirt and cold grass. It was so cute. He really just wanted to sit in my chair (which thankfully I brought along-whew!), or with his beautiful Mommy, or stand holding onto said chair. Too cute.
This first image really was supposed to be of just Joey sitting on the bridge. Abby, his momma, was close by to grab him if needed. (Safety first, always!) My intention was to crop her out of the photo, but I just adore the sweet joy on her face watching her baby boy get his pictures made. I just had to include her, too! 🙂 And the one of them together? Notice the swan that joined the photo, too. Love that little detail.
Joey, you are a sweetheart, just like your Mom and Dad! And, your little crinkle-nose you make when you smile melts my heart. I had such fun with you. Enjoy! 🙂
Remember this handsome little fellow?
Well…look at this big boy now! What a precious little boy this is. He is so very loved by his Mommy and Daddy. This was one of the first of my fun spring sessions coming up over the next few months. I love the fun and bright, happy colors that show through and compliment the love this family has for each other. These images speak for themselves. I know you will enjoy!!
