Cute & Curious

Hello again bloggers. I am uploading a session from last week. Those of you who live in Stuttgart have seen the beginning of winter. The ground is lightly covered in snow and it is very cold outside. Under these conditions, we went out on a photo shoot and it was awesome. We did not stay outside for very long because it was cold. The sun was shining and the light was wonderful. They wore cute hats and scarfs to bring color to their portraits. It was so much fun. Their son was so curious about everything and he had so much fun outside. He was exploring around the park, looking at the plants and running in the snow. He did not want to leave the park, but we had to because everyone had frozen fingers and red noses. :)

until next time...

A Winter Rose

I am dedicating this post to all the military spouses of deployed soldiers. In the middle of one of my sessions, this lovely woman spotted a rose. It was the only rose amongst many tangled bare branches. She said, "This rose is beautiful. She is all alone in the cold and she is standing strong." When she spoke those words, I immediately thought of her, my freinds, and the thousands of military spouses standing strong during hard times and deployments. Ladies, you are like this rose holding it all together while waiting for your loved one. And I bet in his eyes and heart, you are the rose he is waiting to come home to!

Sk8ter Boyz

A great way to personalize your portrait session is to bring something that you love doing. These handsome brothers are into skateboarding and they were really good at it. I was photographing their stunts as well as using the skateboard as a prop. They really started warming up to the camera when I showed them their "action shots" on the board. Thank you boys for showing me some stunts. OK, OK, I know it wasn't a stunt... I tried to use the skateboard as a stool while I was photographing, and I almost fell off. That was my big stunt for the day ;)

Enjoy your portraits...

All For You

Hey bloggers, it's me again. I have been so busy with work that it took me a little while to post these images from last weekend. I met such a sweet family with a beautiful baby girl. I'm telling you, she is a Gerber baby model. She was so active and curious about her surroundings. She was looking everywhere with her big blue eyes. "A" Family, thank you for sharing your family with me. It was so nice spending time with you all, especially since we had those nice breaks in between. ;) The day was all about baby H. and we wouldn't of had it any other way. I hope you enjoy this sneak peak from your session.

Baby of Mine

Hello bloggers, I am posting a maternity session from this week. I love the interaction between this couple, so calm and soft spoken. There was so much celebration and love for their baby between the two of them, and it was nice to be around. It was cold outside that day, but they handled it nicely. And when the sun went away, it really got chilly. We shot where we needed to outside and then headed indoors for more portraits. It was such a pleasure meeting you J. And M, I wish you the best of luck. My prayers are with you and your new family.

I have some exciting sessions coming up this weekend. Stay posted.

Until next time...

Vineyards

The thing I love about Germany is that it is so green. When I moved here from Texas, I said "Wow, the plants actually look happy here." So what could be the downside to that? Rain! This wonderful family session was planned on a nice cloudy day. But for those of us who have lived in Germany know how unpredictable the weather is. It was raining off and on that day. It seemed that every time we thought it had stopped, and after we got all the kids downstairs, it would start raining again. (That happened twice.) So we all hiked back upstairs to wait the rain out. Later that day... We did eventually have a break and we visited the nearby vineyards. I LOVE it there! So many colors and the rows of grapevines are simply beautiful. Not to mention the top view of Stuttgart. I have found a new place to photograph. M family, you guys were such great sports that day. I loved spending time with you all. I am so glad that we finally got together again. I hope you enjoy your portraits. It was such a joy photographing the wonderful blessing in your life... your family.

The Little Things In Life.

This image is from one of my sessions this week. I just love this one! Isn't it always the little things in life that get us?

Indoor Fun!

Hello Bloggers, it has been a little while since my last post, but here I am again. This weekend was my session with Miss B. I held a session with her sister earlier this summer. And even though they have a lot of the same features, their looks are quite different. Miss B. walked into the studio with a little grin on her face since she already knew how things worked. I could tell she had the session all planned out. She was so cute with her hair and make-up done. I couldn't wait to get started! As I am photographing her, I am realizing that the same poses I did for her sister were working for her as well. That has never happened to me before, and so I tried mixing it up a bit. I love the images with her hood. She looks like a model! Miss B. you worked the camera!

I have two maternity sessions and a family session coming up. Don't forget to keep an eye out for them.
