Photographer's Mixer

I had the privilege of attending my second photographer's mixer on Saturday...where quite a few children's photographers from all over our state get together and talk shop, share ideas and tricks of the trade, and take pictures of each other's kiddos for practice and portfolio work. It is always a lot of fun, and I always come home with new friends and lots of new information. Here are some of my shots from Saturday's mixer:

Maternity Shoot

I can not even begin to describe the amount of fun I had today during this maternity shoot. She is 2 weeks ahead of me with a little boy as well, so I bet it was funny for onlookers to see 2 pregnant women waddle their way around our shoot location. Thanks Pam and Joseph...I had a BLAST!

Jolee

We had an interesting time with little miss Jolee during her shoot last week. We experienced fire ant bites, a very tired girl, and the fact that I was in pre-term labor (although didn't know it for sure until later that day). Everything is well now, and I am finally able to go through the pictures from the shoot. Jolee is a doll, regardless of whether or not she wanted her picture taken that day. Love ya, girlie!

This one is, of course, my favorite! It just shows the emotion of being a toddler so well...poor little thing. But gosh, I love it so much. HA!

Little Miss C

Today's shoot was a blast with Little Miss C. Those sparkling blue eyes are amazing...I have never seen so much detail in eyes like that before. She has the most darling smile and such an incredibly adorable personality. What a fun and exciting age! Thanks for a fun shoot.

William

Is he not the cutest thing ever? I had the wonderful privilege of photographing one of my best friends' son while we were visiting them this past weekend. She wanted to try to get some pictures for a Christmas card...hence the Christmas attire. :) He is such a joy, and he has the sweetest smile and most gorgeous eyes. I just love his personality and countenance.

Chilly Beach Day

I had the wonderful privilege of having a photo shoot with the sweetest and cutest brothers this weekend. They are identical 3 year old boys full of life and happiness, and they definitely kept me running. We recently found out that we are having a little boy in the spring and being around these precious boys made me even more excited about being blessed to raise a little boy ourselves. They were a true joy! I was met with hugs and smiles as they piled out of their vehicle, and it melted my heart on the spot. Thank you for the wonderful evening, Cox family. It was definitely a blast meeting you all! When was the last time you were this excited to be at the beach? His enthusiasm was contagious.We tried to get some family pictures for a Christmas card, but the boys were ready to explore once again...the joys of being 3. I just love this picture:
