Photo Booth!

Last Friday night, I was asked to take pictures for a Valentine's Party my church was having. At first I was hesitant, but then I had the idea to do a photo booth and I was really excited to try it out. I bought a white background, made some props, and also grabbed a few of my daughters dress up clothes. My goal was to do something new and fun, and to avoid a "prom" picture. It was a hit! It was so fun, and everybody seemed to really get into it. Here are a few of my favorites.

I did keep all of these props, so if this looks like something you would want at an event just let me know! I'd love to do it!

Baby Branden (and some other familiar faces)

I had the opportunity to photograph my favorite kids the other day, but this time they had a new baby brother to add to the mix! Baby Branden turned 3 months, and it was his time to get in front of the camera! I really love these kids, and I love how their pictures turned out!

Also, isn't everyone LOVING this weather right now? It's so perfect! This time of year is why I live here! Let's get to taking pictures before it goes away! I'm now taking bookings for March. Book now, they will go fast!

 

At the end of the session he even fell asleep for us! I just love sleeping babies.




Sweet dreams!

A photo shoot for MY kids!

Yesterday my little boy turned 6 months old.  I had originally planned to go somewhere outdoors and take his pictures, but yesterday I got hit with a nasty cold and didn't feel like doing anything.  When I did get a little burst of energy what did I do?  I did what every normal mother does, set up a photo shoot for my children!  (right?)  haha.  I always take pictures of my boy on the 19th of every month so I later can make a scrapbook of his first year.  I did the same thing with my daughter, but still have yet to finish her scrapbook.   Ahh...someday.  Anyway...

I had this set up to take pictures of my boy, and was shooting away when my daughter starts to whine that SHE wants to take pictures too!  I said, "Okay but you have to get dressed and let me do your hair", and to my surprise she was ALL for that!  This never happens.  And although she only stayed about 5 minutes in front of the camera, she sure knows how to work it!

haha!  I sure LOVE my kids!

I heart Faces: Holiday Bokeh Challenge

This is my baby boy Max. I took this picture for his 5 months pictures, and thought it would be perfect for this weeks I heart faces challenge. Isn't he the cutest? I LOVE him!

Aguilar Family

This is the last of my holiday sessions.  I'm sad the rush is over, but am so excited for Christmas!  This family was so much fun to take pictures of.  They are so adorable, which is always a plus ;), and these little boys had me cracking up the whole time!  The Groves are also beautiful this time of year.  While others may be freezing in snow, we at almost "fall" weather here.  I love it!  Enjoy!

 1 week until Christmas! 

One for Me

Sometimes you just got to take pictures for yourself.  I had seen this idea on pinterest a while back and I had been itching to try it.  I couldn't be more pleased with how this turned out!  I just love it when creative ideas pan out the way you want them too!

Hammond Family

I love it when families want to be creative with me.  This family suggested and brought balloons as props!  So fun!  I think they are some of my favorite family pictures yet.  

Oh my, these kids sure are cute!!!

Not my typical edit, but I think I'm digging it.

Thanks Hammonds! It sure was fun!
