Portraits > March 2, 2011

Hunter was an absolute sweetheart from the moment she stepped out to greet me.  She arrived with a load of clothes, her smile and an attitude of having fun.  A bit nervous at first, her first comment was, “I’m not very photogenic.”  I told her she was crazy.  The third shot out of the camera is the one below.  I turned the camera around and let her have a peek…she laughed a little as if she didn’t recognize herself.  She was completely relaxed from then on and enjoyed every minute (and it showed).

It was a fairly cold and dreary day last fall when we shot these…but Hunter took it in stride!  Un-photogenic….Yup.  Crazy!

Hunter, your beauty is obvious to everyone but you, dear!  It was an absolute pleasure spending the morning with you, your mom and baby sister.  Good luck with your coming graduation and wishing you wonderful things for your future!

Since I last shared Blake with you, he has taken to his feet and become very curious about the world around him.  Still the sweet little boy with the big laughs but now he’s FAST!  He had both myself and his mom chasing him down and doing absurd things to get one of those big smiles to appear.  He is also sporting two new teeth and a big boy haircut!

Oh, Blakers, you just make me smile :)  Can’t believe it’s been a year since I photographed your Mom and Dad while they were waiting for you!  I expect a good workout when I see you next (as I’m sure you’ll have learned how to run by then)!

This was an absolute first.  I walked in and upon seeing Preston, I didn’t recognize him!  How could that be since I have been photographing this little guy since birth and memorizing his sweet smile?  I started laughing and told his mom, Lindsey that if she weren’t holding him, I would have sworn I was looking at the wrong child!

It’s amazing how a person so little can change so much in just three months!  But then he smiled…it’s the same memorable smile :)

Ah, he is such a sweetie :)  I love that he was moving and crawling all over the place…makes me wonder if he’ll be walking for his one year session….we will see!
