Magic Moments Models - 2011 - Sadie!

I have to admit, I've been a bad blogger of late.  So many sessions, so little editing time.  So, I finally owe the lovely Ms. Sadie her spot on the blog!

Sadie was a fantastic model - sweet, smiling, playful.....she didn't like leaves being thrown at her, but, then, who would?  I am in love with so many of these images - those eyes *sigh* that smile *wow* - she is a photographer's dream model.  I hope that her mother enjoys her sneak peek as much as I've enjoyed working on them!

Oh, and I may be in a smidge bit of trouble for this first one....but aren't they beautiful together?

Laughter on an October Afternoon.....

I have to admit, these boys' mother had me a little nervous.  We never do pictures, she said.  Not for years!! she said.  The boys aren't really excited about having their picture taken she said....well, maybe all that was very true as our first session was cancelled due sudden onset nausea on the part of one of these guys.  So....a reschedule date later we met up on the streets of Huntingburg for an Urban Shoot.   And....they were a little stiff at first.  They didn't want to stand together, smile, look at me, stay where I put them...and then, with the invention of a couple of nicknames (which I won't share on the internet in fear they will become all the rage and these two guys will be stuck with them for eternity), it all came together.  We laughed, cut up, took silly pictures.....

And then took a few that can be treasured ....

Thank you, Beth, for sharing your boys with me for the day.  I had so much fun with them!  Hope you love your sneak peeks as much as I do!

Paisley - almost two and loving it.

I got to spend some time with darling Paisley and her mom and dad - and horse Ruby!! a couple of weeks ago, and had such a great time with them!  Paisley is almost two - and yes, she has the two year old attitude - but she's also sweet, and full of laughs, and ready to try anything - so long as she gets to do it her own way!! 

I'm sure that mom Amanda felt like she had run a marathon by the time we were through with Ms. Paisley's session, but I hope she'll be pleased with the amazing images we captured of this little lady in motion.

Adelynne - Almost Two and on the move

I mean it - this little lady does not believe in sitting still.  There is too much to do, too much to see, kisses to blow, Nana to hug....but what a smile!  She has a sweet nature, a huge smile, and giggles at the slighest provocation  Adelynne, her talented mom and Nana met me Friday afternoon for the fist of my model sessions and boy did Ms. A make me dash to keep up with her!  Rocks, water, ducks, dogs, leaves - all caught her eye and her roving feet.

Adelynne's mom made almost everything Adelynne wore for our session - tutus, bows - adorable ladybug Halloween costume.  Catch up to her at Naner Renaih Bows and Things on Facebook to see some of her gorgeous creations.

Thanks again for being one of my models, Ms. Addie!  Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

 

Love, scrolling marquee belt buckles, Michael Jackson moves and just a smidge more.....

I had the very happy honor of spending Saturday with Jaclyn and Ryan - a beautiful young couple who were ready to profess their love and commitment in front of family and friends.  The day was hot - and I mean 100 degrees hot - but the sky was a brilliant blue, the church was decorated in fall colors (and air conditioned) and this couple and their family and friends came to celebrate this loving union from start to finish. 

More so, however, is that by the time the ceremony started, I felt like I knew these people!    Ryan and Jaclyn, of course - cross country runners in high school and college, they actually met during a race.  Ryan's best friend, Bugs - great nickname - who confessed during the toast that he was not handing Ryan over to Jaclyn, that he instead was gaining a friend in her, Phil - the tall guy (I'm sure you'll spot him in the photos) who has an absolutely cutting sense of humor...Jaclyn's errant matron of honor, Annette, who routinely forgot her duties when it came to the train of Jaclyn's gown, Denise, Jaclyn's college roommate who sings with amazing purity .....Jaclyn's brother, Keith, usher extraordinaire from whom I forgot to obtain a model release, so can not show him in any of these photos (ha ha!!) , and adorably scuffed ring bearer, Trae, who loves both Spongebob and Michael Jackson dance moves.  The groomsmen all sported electronic belt buckles which scrolled messages across the red face....interesting messages, you can be sure.

Thank you to Jaclyn and Ryan for choosing me to document your special day - I hope you enjoy your sneak peek - and there are MANY more to come in the full gallery.

And to all the bridal party, to the left, please, just a smidge.
