Yesterday I had the pleasure of working with some wonderful families at Silverlake Park. Though it almost looked like we would be rained out again, thankfully the weather held out, and I was able to get some great portraits of these fantastic kids. The shoot was a lot of fun, and since I was so excited to see the images, I though I would give the parents a sneak peak too. Here is just a small taste for now of some of my favorites.
By looking at my work, some would be surprised to know I'm not a girly girl. I'm usually unadorned, no jewelry except for maybe a simple cross, no makeup, plain t's from the Gap. Abigail's Mommy was a girl after my own heart, who was just getting used to the idea of pink everything for her new baby. So we continued with the theme and did a lot of pink, keeping it modern - and then of course we went old school with the classic scenery and flowers. lol! Do you think they had cotton t's and cargos during the Renaissance?
I'm always amazed at how fast a year can fly when a newborn returns for their first birthday portrait. Though I did get a visit from Serena at Christmas time to do her holiday cards, it feels like yesterday I was trying to get her to sleep in a basket. She was an alert, bright little baby, clearly advanced for her age, and I'm happy to report that is something about her that hasn't changed at all. It was a joy photographing her, as always.
