I promised mom a quick peek before we head off to the workshop, so I grabbed my favorite of their littlest love.
What a lucky little boy to be born into this family. Knowing this family personally I can say that. In fact, my son and the oldest boys swear they are “brothers for a thousand years”.
Welcome Jake Julian.
I received the email while out and about with my kiddos last week. I glanced at it and thought..how nice, a finalist.
When I got back to the office I opened the email again really reading it- hardly believing own eyes. You fellow photographers can understand me here when I say that PPA, Professional Photographers of America, is the standard in recognizing excellence in our industry. So to receive and email from Professional Photographer Magazine , PPA’s publication, stating that my image had been chosen as a finalist from nearly 60,000 other applicant was truly unbelievable!
Now the competition is stiff- I mean really the best of the best are up for nomination. The finalists span across all genres of photography and many have cover after cover of national publications! To be among their likes is so humbling.
I will be watching my email carefully in the upcoming weeks hoping and praying that my beautiful client is chosen to grace it’s cover.
I think she would look amazing……..don’t you?!
And now I am soaking in this accomplishment and taking it in as a blessing and honor.
I just love playing with little kids. As I was driving home- I realized- to most kids- getting your portraits taken must seem like one big recess session….
Playing “stop and go”, red light-green light, singing “if you are happy and you know it, clap your hands”, catching balls, and even tossing stars?!
You can see the little curly cue below holding that one big beautiful star ; – )
So please scroll down to enjoy our playtime too………
* I just came back to my post after a cup of coffee to see that it didn’t make much sense, lol. I am pretty tired.*
This photography obsession thing is totally rockin my sleep!
I wanted to add that the sweet little kiddos below to a great friend and amazing business owner Stefanie of Lullabye Landing.
They have THE most amazing children’s clothing. Many,many of my sessions feature their stuff!
I have decided I am better with pictures than words……..
So here ya go!
children are more precious than gold.
