Real Life… Mechanicsburg Family Phtographer

March 10, 2010 – 7:00 am

Sometimes I joke with clients that nobody’s children are as hard to photograph as my own… they do a nice job when I am taking the picture, that is only after years of training… :) but if you add me to the picture, forget about it!! I thought I would share some recent pictures taken with me trying to look cute with my girls… feel free to laugh and enjoy my pain… I always say that I just need one good picture… for most these would be out-takes but really this is what its really like with my 2 girls…

First Portraits…

July 14, 2009 – 6:14 am

This was a first for this cute lil family. This was their first portrait session. Their son had some health issues when he was born and one of the big “no-no’s” from his doctor was to never take him to a portrait studio since they are filled with germs… The wonderful part of hiring me is that we can meet in the open fresh air where kids are themselves, and we can shoot at your home… He is doing amazing now, and runs faster than me!!

Puppy Portraits…

July 6, 2009 – 8:59 am

Okay so these dogs are definitely not puppys, their mom wanted to have good portraits done of them since they are not in the best of health, i can totally understand since my Mother in law just lost her dog a week ago and my sister lost hers about 3 weeks ago. Losing a dog is so terrible and heartwrenching. Its like a big part of your home is missing… I think my Gabby has been affected by it since she has now decided that our dog, Chloe should get married so that she can have puppys… mmm… too bad poor chloe is fixed!! Guess we wont be having the 99 puppies she wants!
