Chicago Travelers!
There is no bigger compliment than when new clients come from out of state to see me and have their portraits created! Brad and Andrew traveled down, with their mom, from Chicago for just this reason.
Mom trusted me and just left Brad, Andrew and I alone to do our thing. We had such a fun time, laughing and smiling and giggling! Neither guy was very good at doing the serious face, but they could both turn on the charm for sure. Andrew got the giggles over and over. By the end of the session he said his cheeks hurt from laughing so much!
The other big compliment occurred when they were leaving. Andrew was already asking his mom if they could come back! I can’t tell you how much that means to me! This is why I do what I do!!
Pillow Fights
We I started with Ally, Ryan & Jason, we used the more traditional photography look of black shirts and jeans. It’s always nice to have that classic, timeless style. Then we quickly transitioned to pjs, books and pillows. This was a much more natural environment. They much prefer ganging up and pummeling each other with pillows, then they do standing close together and snuggling!
Daddy & His Boys
Doug brought his two handsome boys into the studio for a session and a guys day.
I’m sure this wasn’t really on the top of Grant’s list for a fun, Saturday morning activity, being fifteen and a freshman in high school, but he was a great sport! Flashing me awesome smiles and tickling and playing with his brother Michael.
Michael loves Elvis! When daddy talks like Elvis, Michael breaks out into this huge grin. He told me that his favorite song is Hunk of Burning Love. Unfortunately, he was too shy to sing it for me, but I bet he’s awesome!
Big Brother
Jacob is the older big brother, and though patient with his little brother and sister, it can be hard to be the more responsible, older brother. So, we took some time to just photograph him, all by himself, even capturing some with his cello.
Jacob loves to be happy and laugh! The best part for me was making him laugh…he has a great giggle and his eyes just sparkle when he’s really laughing!
Family Fun!
What a great family to photograph! They were so full of fun and laughter! You can tell they really care about each other and have great relationships. They can certainly make each other laugh – the "boys" are definitely the family clowns!
