I've done a few "official" photo shoots in the last couple months, and I realized I'd never posted any of the results (pretty much due to my disappointment/insecurity that is always rampant post-official-photoshoot).
Anyways--I decided to share a few of my favorites.
I did this shoot with Melinda's family. She is an amazing, encouraging woman, and their whole family has been a blessing to me for several years.
I've photographed two of Melinda's births--their seventh boy, and then just recently, their first girl.
She's destined to be adored, spoiled, and tormented, and any guy is going to have a heck of a time even getting near her. I already feel a little sorry for him.
A couples shoot with friends from church...
They never even really had an engagement photo shoot, and now they have four kids. They decided a "romantic photo shoot" was in order.
Portraits of a toddler = tricky. :) I had fun chasing her around, trying not to fall in the creek, and avoiding duck droppings.
Ruthi is crazy-energetic, climbs trees, and gives good hugs.
I love the one with the toddler hugging the tree! The bandaid just makes it adorabley real~life. :D
ReplyDeleteThese are so great!! Love the one where the little guys are all sitting on shoulders, and the toddler pics are adorable!
ReplyDeleteAnd love your description of the only little girl in the family of boys. :)
Wow! You're so talented, Polka Dot!

ReplyDeleteGranted, they're all beautiful.
I seriously love the picture of the first family where the parent's are giving each other a kiss while the kids make faces. Way too funny :))
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!! :) <3
ReplyDeleteLove these! But I'm still picturing that poor little girl ;) Wow, seven boys. That's crazy.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteI totally know what you mean about rampant insecurity about one's photos. :/ I tell myself that if the recipients like them, that's what matters the most!
I also had to think of this: http://www.andrewvernonphotography.com/2012/01/ohlife/
Up your alley?
There are some great shots here! This is encouraging to me. I too am a little insecure and apprehensive about sharing my work. I shy away from portrait photography because it's so intimidating. Thus, I find myself primarily shooting nature, wildlife, and landscape. But, you cause me to think, maybe I should give this a try.
ReplyDeletei simply adore the simplicity, light-heartedness & beauty you capture in your photos.
ReplyDeleteYou have such photogenic friends! And just skills in general. Love the toddler pics, and what an adorable baby girl!! I'm kind of jealous of her having so many brothers... Heh. :)
ReplyDeletethese are a-mazing! love all of them...especially the one of the family with SEVEN boys and only ONE girl?! too cute!
ReplyDeletelovin' your blog and am now a follower. ;) i hope you have a blessed day.

Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteHow funny that the family has had seven sons and now a daughter! Her life will be interesting growing up, like the opposite of a friend of mine whose family has seven daughters and one son!
I love the romantic portraits you did for your friends - I don't think they look anywhere near old enough to have four children!
Lastly, I love the picture of the little girl leaning against the tree, and the sticking plaster on her finger. Too cute!
I liked the one of the couple with four children, with the sun behind them. I liked the ones of the family with 7 boys and 1 girl as well! Good job!
