For photographing two 2-year olds and a 9-month old all at the same time, this session turned our outstanding. These kids are stunning! It was so fun working with Chris and Keli and their 3 sweet children. We hope we get to watch them grow in front of the camera. Here are a few.

Here is little Paxton again, growing so fast! This shoot was so fun, we laughed so hard, and then the daddy side of David came out as he rocked Paxton to sleep with his magic rocking powers! Here’s a few from this session.

We had this session scheduled for a week earlier but the Carvalho’s son got sick. You would never be able to tell that by the pictures. This family was such a joy to work with and has such a unique, natural beauty. This location shoot was very easy-going and free-spirited. I look forward to working with you guys again soon! Here are a few of my favorites from this session.

What a sweet group of kids! They all have a unique personality and a definite look of their own. David had so much fun doing this shoot and it has been a true please hearing the eewwwws and aawwwwws of this family of six as they all watched their pictures being played on a slideshow in our presentation room. Here are a few of our favorites.

Zoie’s grandmother called us wanting some pictures done of her so we scheduled her for a studio session. The minute Zoie stepped in front of the lights, she froze! So we took her outside and let her do her own thing and caught some candids. They turned out great! Here are a few of our favorites.

I had the pleasure of working with Thomas’ little sister a few weeks ago and now it was his turn behind the camera.  Thomas is certainly a curious little boy and we had a great time trying to entertain him!  You can make plans to have a shoot go a specific way but kids are always unpredictable…in a good way!  You can see that in his face after he figured out that this old car he climbed into still had a functional horn.  He absolutely loved it – it was so loud!!  I just started to work on the shots and wanted to post a couple a fun ones that preliminarily stand out to me.

3 Kids
3 Kids – Well guys I can tell you that just about everyone I know has been giving birth to boys…including us!  My two are the absolute joys of my life and I don’t know how to exist without them.  I’m not sure what it will take to produce a Stanley girl, but if we can’t get one – no one will be able to say there was no effort applied.  Children are the window to the past and all things innocent and that is something I am blessed to experience everyday!  I’m not sure if you figured this out but, i love kids!
Anyways, onto the portraits of innocence. I’ve done this post a little unorthodox but i really just wanted to get a few recent photos up of shots that bring joy to me.

Sorry for combining all these into one post but I have been so busy trying to get our mini-Christmas sessions launched, otherwise eating my usual blog time…oh, check out the info for the mini sessions – HERE!

I am really good friends with the Madi’s parents and I have enjoyed watching Madi (tooter) grow up.  It is time for her first communion and I told them that we had to make sure she has some great shots to show off at her party!

Where to begin, well this was my first ever commission and I decided it would be fun to look back a this shoot.  One of my best friends is Roy (her Dad) and his wife really wanted some fun photos of Madeline for her fourth birthday.  She knew I was attempting to get a photography business started so we set it up at a local park.
