Owen.

I can't believe it was only six months ago that I took Owen's newborn pictures. He's changed so much! He is the most relaxed, easy-going baby. His family is precious and it was a delight to take their pictures. Enjoy those big baby blues!

The Koenig Family.

When the forecast called for rain this morning, I was more than excited. There's nothing sweeter than grabbing an umbrella and trouncing through a little rainstorm to produce adorable and classic pictures.

However.

As the morning progressed, the 'little rainstorm' turned into a TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR. My brave friends still came out for our scheduled shoot and we found an old building with a loading dock to use as our set. The tin roof over the dock was leaky, but we managed to obtain a 4x4 foot square of dry ground to make the shoot happen. This is why I love doing candid natural light photography. From the tin walls to the raindrops on Gary's shirt, this shoot absolutely exemplified the day. I don't want to create moments, I want to capture them. I think we succeeded in that today, with some shivers and thunderclouds to boot.

Harrison: Six Months.

Only six months ago, I shot baby Harrison's newborn pictures. He's grown and changed so much since then! I was thrilled that this would be my first shoot since coming back from maternity leave. His disposition is precious and he is one handsome little guy. Obviously, it's in his genes!

Snack.

My daughter, we think, has an aversion to dairy products. Or, rather, I am the one who has to avoid them for her sake, since she is nursing. Pictured above is what has become my favorite snack. Celery and natural peanut butter.

Don't worry. I have a session on Sunday.

Which means next week you will have something more appealing to see than food. :)
