This session is one of my favorites from last fall. The light that time of year is truly magical and this day was no exception. I have been asked if I enjoy working with older children and the answer is an adamant YES!! Children between the ages of 7-12 are usually eager to be photographed and easy to work with. Once they feel at ease with you the rest is effortless and fun. Take a peek at these gorgeous siblings.

these are wonderful… I love the theme they have a great 40′s vibe to them
Oh how I love these Tamra! I can’t wait for this years christmas season so we can repeat it! Thank you so much, your work is amazing and your patience with kids is truly appreciated.


One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is forming relationships with my clients. Photographing newborns, that become babies, that become big brothers/sisters, is so special to me. I am a very sentimental person and honestly get very sappy about my repeat clients. They feel like family. I am in LOVE with this image of these two, and so were their parents, it captures them both so beautifully. You can see some of the other sessions I have had with them here & here .

Oh my what beautiful captures! That last shot makes me smile. Love it!


Well, its official-I am now the mother of two teenagers! (Help me…) My sweet Colton actually turned 13 last September. I took his birthday session photos and I did not get around to editing and blogging them during the crazy holidays.
If you aren’t familiar with Colton’s story you can click here and read my past posts. We are so very proud of him and his accomplishments. He is a very driven little boy and we know the future holds great things for him. A friend recently described Colton as a “future Bill Gates”. Maybe he won’t be the next Steve Jobs, but he is certainly an innovative thinker.
If any of you reading have a child who was recently diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, I know how hard and scary those early days are. I hope that Colton’s success will encourage you. These children are special, and I wouldn’t change Colton for the world.

Love this! Reminds me of my ‘kid campaign’ (I know – I have got to come up with a better name than that……) :)
What a handsome boy! Blessing to you, Colton!
(my favorite photo is the one of him in the sunlight..how beautiful)
Awww.. what a handsome young man you have there.. Hope he had an amazing birthday.. I love these photos of him.
what a beautiful post for your gorgeous, sweet birthday boy! I love the little details about him added to his images … wonderful favorite quote!
I’m truly proud of my son, he has overcome many obstacles or as Colton would call them opportunities. He is always full of questions like “what is Einstein’s Theory of Relativity”? I’m always looking up questions on google for him, because I don’t know the answer myself. He is destined to be a great man but he will always be my inquistive little boy. I love you Colton!
Dad

Kathy Marciante - The love is oozing out of these images! A spirited and created collection of images. I get the feeling that your beautiful daughter loves to pose which is unusual for a photographers child. If it’s true how lucky you are! You can see that she really enjoys the photo session.
