Tree Climbing, giggling, jumping, skipping, twirling, oh my……. this was such an active afternoon.  It is kind of funny, cause it started out with two beautiful kids who looked shyly at me without much expression, and ended with lots and lots of crazy silliness!  As it turns out, these two fabulous kids have grandparents that live directly behind me, so they were from my ‘hood.  I loved all of the candid shots we got from just playing throughout the park.  This park is not one I photograph in very often, but I am definitely going to start working there more frequently.   I loved getting to know the whole family!  Enjoy the beautiful portraits!

There are all kinds of ways to get a cutie like this engaged in a photography session.   One of my favorites is “where is the turtle” (or ladybug, or frog, or lizard)?  We started by actually finding a lizard.  The only problem with the lizard, was he was getting all of the attention and love, and me and my trusty camera were forgotten.  Soooo, we moved on to, “Where’s the turtle?”  I love kids and their imaginations.  We never actually found a turtle, but we still had a great time playing the game.  The best part, is that this little doll is my friend Kim’s daughter, so she played right along with us!  I bet she is still searching for the turtle!  Enjoy!

“I love this time of year because we get to do our fun Creative Sessions, which allows us to have a different kind of shoot with a theme.  The lighting, family and location for this creative session was so awesome, I love how the shots came out!  This beautiful family showed up on location with some great outfits!  They brought tons of awesome clothing, perfect for this whimsical setting.  I had such a great time on this shoot running after their little one and taking modeling shots of their beautiful boy.  The kids were truly a joy to be around and of course, as you can see, are just gorgeous!  Thank you so much for coming out and enjoying the morning with me!”  -Anna

One of my best gals brought this little cutie out to play last month in San Juan.  He was a perfect angel, and at less than two years old, he had already perfected the “Blue Steel”!   I just can’t get over his beautiful eyes.  I know Mama is never going to be able to say no to this little guy.  AND at the tender age of less than 2, he already has a modeling contract.  Enjoy!

Could you just die at his yummy lips??? Beautiful Smile!

When I say family, I really mean family!  This is my brother’s family.  His in-laws were visiting all the way from Moscow, Russia.   We had been meaning to update his family photography for over a year now.  Although I shoot all the kids on a regular basis, it is hard to nail down by brother and his wife, Svetlana.  I am so glad we were able to have Svetlana’s parents be a part of the session.  The last time I saw them was at my brother’s wedding (14 or so years ago).  The amazing thing is, that they look almost exactly the same.  Those Russian winters must be good for the skin :)!   Anyway, I know I am bias, but I think their family is gorgeous.  Enjoy!

My sweet niece is great at the pouty look.  I love those full lips! This is more like it!   The family with “Attitude”!  This is what I mean when I say, act sassy! Sean, now this is a great headshot!  You need to quickly replace your mug on aboutme.com! The look of love! My favorite family shot of the session! Can you believe that these are the grandparents? Daddy’s girls!
