My little model

This is my amazing Joren! She is such a trooper and lets me play dress up with her! There were two reasons I wanted to do a post like this. One, I rarely take pictures of my own kids, so it was long overdue. And two, I have lots of people asking me what to wear for their shoot. SO, I know these outfits may be a little out there for some of you, but I think they all photograph really well. What I want you to notice (for those of you wondering what to wear for your shoot), that you might not think about as you are getting yourself, or your little ones dressed, are the layers and bright colors. I know we don't all have these pieces in our closets, but I'm sure you have more than you know, and you can throw things like this together easy! So take this and RUN with it!! I actually wanted to keep going with Joren; there were many other outfits I wanted to shoot, but she was FROZEN and had had enough! She was so great for me, though!

She was working it for me!

That's my sassy girl!

Mmm, LOVE this!

I just want to pinch those chubby little legs!!

A little teaser...

I took Joren out for a little model shoot today. More to come....

Mr. Mav!

Is this not the cutest little boy you have ever seen? Oh man, those eyes, those lips, that hair...

I love how even Maverick is sportin' his stoic look here.

If this doesn't make you love our planet, I don't know what will.

The Goodwill family

I absolutely fell in LOVE with this location as I was driving around downtown Hillsboro a couple weeks ago, so it was fun to get to shoot there! I love the texture, colors, variety, oh- and the beautiful family too! This little girl has the most amazing brown eyes, and such a fun little personality already. She definitely gave me a run for my money!

Okay, I realize this next one is not completely in focus, but she was moving so stinkin' fast and I just loved this silly expression!

The Cheung Family

Well, the year has officially started now, for me! My three month "vacation" has come to an end, and from here on out, I am go go go! And to start things off, we have the Cheung family, with a sweet and simple shoot in the park...

It's ME

Okay, so this is the ONLY time you will ever see a post with pictures of just me.  This was part of my training course down in Arizona.  Kacey wanted to give me a feel from in FRONT of the camera, and boy was it different than being behind it!  It definitely gave me a new perspective, and hopefully I will be better at giving direction and encouragement to you all now.  I was also encouraged to post these pictures of me on here; I normally don't like seeing pictures of myself, but with the help of a professional make-up artist and photoshop, I don't mind so much!
