Two are better than one!

I had such a wonderful time taking these precious little babies photos.  We spent about 2 hours in the studio doing family and baby photos and then I couldn't find the new elf hats that Super Green Label had made. So I traveled to their house a couple of days later and spent 4 hours with them taking their photos.   I also got to help feed them twice and rock them to sleep, over and over again in attempt to get a couple of sleeping shots. Little guy was adamant that he did not want to sleep. So for most of the photos, it was a quick shutter finger that caught him with his eyes shut in between flailing his arms and looking around brightly.  

 Double Blessings

 Big sister was not too into this photoshoot. She would rather be playing with toys. Typical for a two year old.

 I love little feet!

 We were able to get Big Sister to 'play' with them for a couple of seconds. 

 Big Sister!

 Little Man

 Sweet little princess

 This looks like Little Guy really needs to tell Sissy something!

Then it was off to their house a couple of days later for the next part of the photoshoot. So now we go from studio lighting to window lighting... which I LOVE!  But hey, every photographer prefers 'real light.'

 Now for Super Green Label's Crocheted Hats

This was a very, very hard photo to get. It took lots of time working with them and then lots of photoshop time.  It is hard enough to get 1 infant to look this relaxed and positioned, let alone 2!  It was so worth the time and work! 

She slept so sweetly!

Just love how it looks in a chocolate color too!

Then this little guy finally asleep for real, although it did not last long. I love how he looks like "Let me alone!"

A quick 'behind the scenes photo!' They had a bright room in the house with nice window lighting which was perfect. I brought 1 white sheet, a posing pillow and a fuzzy blanket. Then used their chair to hold the background. It doesn't take much room with babies. Here I was soothing them while Mom was getting their second bottles ready. I love babies!  How great a God to make such perfect little blessings!

When we had gotten all of the hats shots, they were both alert and relaxed again. So I was able to get a couple of sweet snuggly shots.

Although it takes a lot of time, patience, good lighting and and photoshopping, it's really the parents that make the photoshoot work well.  Patient parents are the key!  Thanks to these little ones parents for letting me take their photos and for bearing with us through many hours of pictures!

Kyle & Rachel's Wedding

What a beautiful winter wonderland wedding!  I have a special place in my heart for 'snow weddings' because Joseph and I had the same theme almost 6 years ago now.  Actually some of the snowflakes hanging at the reception were from our wedding day.  Thanks Rachel and Kyle for letting us be a part of your special day.

I love the capturing the Groom's expression when the doors open and in walks his Bride

 We have always made it a point to be very non obtrusive, especially during the ceremony.  It was really nice that they had a surround style auditorium so it wasn't very obvious for us to be on the side isle and still get a 'front view photo.'

The ring shot is one of my husbands specialties!

 This little guy was absolutely adorable!  He would stand there and bob up and down to the music like he's been doing it for years!

 Glad we had time for some extended family photos.

 "It's Mine!!!"

 Even the guys really got into it

 I LOVE this photo of these two little guys. Just seems to really capture their boyhood

 The DJ helped everyone to do this dance.  We highly recommend these DJ's: KLOCK Entertainment They really kept the evening going and knew how to keep everyone happy!

 Congratulations Kyle & Rachel!  May God bless you both as you start your new lives together as one!
