Family Photo Shoot x2

We definitely had better luck today. We shot at an old abandoned farm with tractors, great wood fences, and even a big red barn. It was the perfect day and the kids had a blast.

Lizzy's dress was another personal design.

Family Photo Shoot

I take pictures of my kids all the time. The problem is they are mostly candid and in weird situations like when they have chocolate all over their faces or in the bathtub. Every once in awhile I get them ready and we do an actual photo shoot. This is easier said than done which is why I don't do it often. Jackson is almost 3 and resists smiling for the camera as much as possible. Elizabeth loves the camera but she also likes to run from the camera and from mom. In other words I need help with I shoot them. Thanks to my sister we actually managed to get some decent shots.

This was also a great opportunity for me to show off my fashion design skills as I made Elizabeth's dress myself.

Baby Brittan

Today I shot a newborn. Actually this was my first newborn shoot other than my own kids. I was very nervous as I like to use natural light and don't really have the equipment for indoor shoots. But I think it went really well for my first time and we did a good job of using the light that we had. Thanks Melissa for letting me take some pictures of your beautiful little girl. The pictures don't do her justice.
