H Family Pennsylvania - Better late than never!

I have to apologize. I have been keeping very busy and have been falling behind in my blog posts. But as I always say "Better late than never!"

I visited the H Family in Pennsylvania last weekend. When I arrived, I was greeted by two pups that I'm not convinced were happy to see me and the most adorable little girl - who's smile goes from cheek to cheek.

We got ready for the shoot, in front of Mrs. H's beautifully decorated fireplace. Our first picture was one of the entire family (including the pups). I was prepared for a marathon of picture shooting in order to get the "money" shot - the one where everybody was posed and looking in the right direction! Amazingly - it didn't take very long at all and the family shot is gorgeous!

We also took individuals of little A, little A with Mommy and Daddy, a few of the pups and a few of Mommy and the pups. I have been raving about little A's Christmas dress. I loved it, and it photographed beautifully. Looking at Little A's pictures makes me want to have a little girl. :-)

A note on Little A - she was the most willing 6 month old client EVER! She smiled the entire time - and not a peep out of her and we posed her in about 100 different positions. What a doll!

I have so many favorites from this shoot. Here are a few I pulled. Now I am off to Cincinnati to visit my friend and her 12 month old twins. . . I can't wait for those pictures. . .Be back Monday!

I can't say I know many people that love dogs as much as I do - but Mrs. H is definitely one of them. She actively volunteers in rescue communities and his hugging one of her rescued pups below. How gorgeous are they?

I love this soft shot - do you see what I mean about the dress? Beautiful!
Everybody is looking!! I couldn't believe how easy it was! Great job guys!

This was a last minute shot - just before I left. I

absolutely love it!

I got to J's house bright and early. Apparently J had been practicing his poses before I arrived. He was a little shy at our initial greeting - but his shyness faded quickly. As soon as we got outside - he had a burst of energy and when I say burst, I mean burst. I could hardly keep up with him. We even had a little running race during the shoot. I had a goal of keeping his hair in place for the pictures, which was quite difficult due to the backflips and acrobatic routines he performed :-) J like some many other children I photograph - choose most of his poses. He was a good sport and sat (reluctantly) for a few formal poses as well. I had a blast photographing J this morning. I think I'll be sore tomorrow from the running race though :-) Here is a sneak peek of the session. . .

He was a very serious in this set of pictures, but I like the little smirk here.
Oh no! The hair!!!

I love this picture of J - he looks like a little business man.

This was taken on the ladder of the jungle gym - J's idea - and I love these.

J insisted on pretending he was in jail. . .This is his pose as he tries to break out!

Little J

Finally, a mild day to take outside pictures. I had the pleasure of meeting little J and her mommy on this beautiful day. Her mom scoped out a great park to take the photos.

Little J was the most pleasant and darling little girl. She greeted me with a smile and seemed delighted to have her photos taken. Not even a peep out her as we dressed her up in the big fluffy Santa Suit (you'll see below). I don't know how I get so lucky to be able to photograph all these gorgeous blue eyed children. Little J is no expection.

We had quite a busy day. As I mentioned, we played a little dress up, we walked around the park for a bit and fed the ducks. Little J's mommy warned me ahead of time that the ducks at this park are not shy and BOY was she right. I had ducks flying (yes flying) out of the water and over my head as I was taking pictures. I don't recall the last time I saw ducks fly - but I can assure you - they are very clumsy in flight. I thought for sure one of them was going to fly right into my head :-)

I started reviewing the photos and I've pulled a few favorites - see below and enjoy! I certainly enjoyed my day with little J and her mom.

I love this pictures. Her eyes are electifying!

She looks very hip in her blue jeans, white jacket and ugg like boots. Those boots are the cutest!
Little J Frosty the SnowGirl!

Look at all the ducks! There's like 50 more to the left of the frame! I hope Little J's mom frames this one in black and white!
