finn take two | finn's posse
Have I mentioned how much I love siblings? There is absolutely nothing more lovely than watching siblings interact together….well, when they are getting along, that is. 🙂 I went back for a few capture’s of Finn with his brother and sister. He was more than accommodating. This was mama’s idea…I think it worked out beautifully! When I was editing this one I kept thinking “Raise your hands if you’re Sure”….LOL!

Don’t my client’s name their babies some of the most awesome names? I will have to admit that Finn was a name on our boys list of names…..Well, should I say *my* boys list of names? LOL! As you can see, Finn had other ideas about being photographed. Usually I can conquer a baby who does not want to be posed. I mean eventually they do conk out. And become much more malleable. Not Finn. He had other ideas right from the start. A little daddy love can often do the trick… Some spontaneous Finn posing himself…. And the up close and totally adorable Mr. Finn until next time, anya ♥
beautiful mama's everywhere!
There must be something in the water. Because I have seen more beautiful pregnant mama’s in the last month than I can count!!! This little wee girl will be available for public viewing come March. And I can’t wait 🙂 So call me stupid but did anyone else see that Will Ferrell has a new movie coming out? All I can say is YAY! Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be any naked shots of his rear running down the middle of the road…which I find to be a bit of a bummer. But Land of the Lost DEFINITELY needed a spoof. It was pretty much it’s own spoof when it actually aired. And Will Ferrell was the right man for the job. Now to figure out how to embed video into my blog….hmmmmm…..
completely honored . . .
This image is a finalist in the Heart of Gold International Photographic Competition. I have loved this image since the moment I took it. It can be viewed on large canvas (40×30) in the halls of the UW Health Fitchburg Clinic (if you happen to be a patient there) 🙂 I will apologize for the fact that my actual link isn’t posting….must be the blonde in me…but if you copy and past the below “attempt at a link” you will find the actual site. Ugh. I should give up trying to be web savvy altogether! www.heartofgold.com.au/hogip/home.html
more beautiful mama maternity. . .
I am having a ton of maternity sessions these days after my newborn pallooza. Which means guess what??? Another newborn pallooza come February. I can’t wait! Although I have to wait a little longer for this little man. He isn’t due until March 🙂 Has anyone noticed that I have not been as verbose of late? I think it is because it has been so cold outside that I literally can’t think straight. Or it freezes my verbal creativity. Blah. The only fun stories I can come up with lately would be things that would poke fun at my hubby. And I don’t think he would quite appreciate that as much as everyone else would. So I will spare him for now…. 🙂
baby g and the dogs . . .
Meet baby G. She is hidden in mommy’s belly right now but will be showing her beautiful face very soon and I cannot WAIT to meet her. I have been working on this first image over the last day. Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE incorporating animals into maternity/newborn photos? Often times it doesn’t work because the animals are just not interested in being photographed. They are far too excited by having a visitor….who smells like foreign dog and cats, as well as fishies and frog….and probably a little toddler pee mixed in 🙂 . But sometimes it just works. This was definitely one of those times.

Isn’t he a cute little bear cub?!!! The first shot I have actually never tried before. I don’t really know why, I just couldn’t get it in my brain how to set it up to achieve the shot. Since I don’t shoot in a studio and my light changes depending on natural light in people’s homes, it often takes me a bit to figure out logistics of different shots. Well I am pleased to say that I think I figured this one out on the first try! My next week is going to be spent editing all these lovelies and completing client orders/coffee table books, etc. . . Then on to a little maternity pallooza before the babies start arriving again come February 🙂
Meet Jaxon
Who is exceedingly chub-alicious!!!!!! Baby #2 in my baby pallooza baby parade. I will have to admit to wanting to take him home with me. 🙂 I don’t think Rowan would appreciate that too much, though. Rowan is a mama’s boy through and through. When we get around other babies Rowan’s green envy monster comes out huge. Don’t cha just want to take a big ‘ole sniff of his head?
Mr. T
Does anyone else remember that show? I crack up when I see Mr. T on late night infomercials. This little man’s name does start with T, though 🙂 Baby #1 from baby pallooza 2009 (although technically he was born in ’08) This adorable little man was a baby I travelled for. One of a few for 2009. He was worth every mile! I would gush on but I apparently have a crazy cat on the loose terrorizing some pre-teen girls!
testing 1, 2, 3 . . .
I just love this shot of these two beauties while I was testing the light! I think one of the biggest challenges people ask of me is to get maternity and newborn shots with young siblings. It literally makes me sweat! My heart just went pitter patter over the image of them holding hands over their soon to be brother or sister. *swoon* This is going to be one CRAZY week of posts. I am finally back in action after a serious illness hiatus. Fortunately all my babes who were due waited for me to get better! There are going to be 3 lovely newborns to post this week! Stay tuned…… Oh, and we did survive x-mas….so did the kids 🙂 Everyone is intact. Our house, on the other hand, needs a bit of tlc.
