A Home Session

Recently, ok a couple of months ago, I had the pleasure of working again with a wonderful client who usually comes to the studio, but this time (since there were 5 kids) thought it would be easier to work at her home. Great, a new place to photograph! There was beautiful window light in her home so we had all we needed to create these lovely images. She wanted portraits of her 3 children and their 2 cousins who were visiting from out of town. I've been working with her since she was pregnant with her first child, (beautiful maternity portraits) and then when Kyle was 5 months old (now 4!) and again with her twin boys when they were about 7 months old.

When I arrived she told me the girls had been up late, real late, singing songs like Itsy Bitsy Spider so we weren't sure how the session was going to go. However, it was a fun session as you can see by the expression on Kyle's face - don't you just love her smile, so genuine and playful. She was a big help!


There was alot of activity and noise at this session with 5 kids, 2 moms and a photographer all trying to get the job done! Chris and Shayne didn't know quite what to do with me as I put one on a chair and the other in the toy chest. Look at these eyes, so big and curious - such a cute face.


This sweet face is happy to be in the box!

After a bit, we took a little break to play with some blocks and share, hmmm...maybe not. I love the innocence of children playing, the way they sit and throw blocks randomly.

And then there are the feet! Little tiny toes just waiting to be smooched (or tickled) no that's cruel!! No socks, no shoes, just little piggy toes, free - I love children's feet.

Well, the gang's all here and we were able to capture this one and only moment of all 5 together. When the kids are all grown, they'll look back and be so thankful to their Mom's for having made the time to capture such a precious moment.

Before I left I also made sure to capture the two sisters together. They had already changed their clothes (I love the pattern shirt against the solid sweater) and all you can see is those gorgeous eyes and sisterly sweetness!

This was a wonderful session - thanks to the Moms for making it all worthwhile.
