Right now, a few hours from where we live, there is a little cabin that sits in the high country. Right outside the front door of this quaint abode, the river is presently roaring, the flowers are in full bloom, and there is lush foliage providing a canopy of shade over a lazy hammock that sways between two tall pines. The cabin sits quietly today; yesterday, it’s walls were bursting with the sounds of little boys laughing and shooting their toy rifles. Yesterday, the boys and the men were down the river, fishing and breathing in deeply the mountain air. Yesterday, the campfire right outside smoldered while a mother and her only daughter exchanged previously unspoken words and stories. The wheat was separated from the chaff, and new beginnings were created around the glowing embers. All that mattered returned with us from the high country. Today, we’re back home and […]
Guilty as charged! Adorable babies sure do help my baby hair accessories play their part! I continue to feel it a privilege to create lovely little things that get captured in images that will be enjoyed by these families for years to come. Do you remember when I got to photograph this little sweetheart at 5 weeks old? Here she is now, wearing two of my baby headbands in her 6 month photo shoot with the very talented Kristi of KristiAnne Photography. Aren’t these photos just precious?
It takes my breath away….really…to see the custom tutu and headband I made for early-on-the-scene baby Violet, like this: Isn’t she so sweet and adorable? God’s design is amazing…the beauty and detail in a one week old. Girly lovelies pale in comparison.
What’s a girl to do when she finds Gianni Bini cowgirl booties at 70% off, and a gift card to buy them with? Wear them at home, of course… …during recess in the backyard… …while practicing photography skills on herself as a shoe model… …and, while on a 5 minute date with her Main Squeeze Number 3.
After many years of hard water… …it is fun to finally be able to capture tranquility. I’m sure it’s old news for all you camera savvy folks out there, but I have yet to overcome the fear of the f-stop and shutter speed! Hubby said that all I need now, is for the second picture to light up and “flow” to Asian elevator music. Don’t worry about it if that’s not funny to you, you’re not missing anything.
Imagine how surprised and flattered I was when Number One’s second grade teacher from last year asked if I would shoot photos of their five week old baby. Flattered and scared. This was my first official photo shoot of anyone other than my family (and of something other than food!) The experience was fun and memorable. And while baby Scottlyn refused to play the part of an Anne Geddes baby, she did a great job portraying her cute little self. Thanks, Celeste and Noel, for the unique opportunity to be a part of your life!
