..is something wonderful anyway, regardless of whether you have a camera with you or not. In my case, it was even better, because last Wednesday I got to spend a couple of hours with three very special little people AND I happened to have my camera with me, too!
Needless to say, we ended up with dozens of gorgeous pictures, some of which you can see below. I was especially proud of five year old Aspen, who has come such a long way when it comes to having her pictures made. The first time I met her she was unbelievably shy and reserved - just look at her now. Amazing!
Hope to see you again soon!
So, last Saturday I had some very special visitors. Special because, not only are the two of them some of THE most handsome young men I've ever laid eyes on, but also because they came all the way from Alexander City, AL to have their pictures made by me! That's right, their mommies are good friends and joined up together to come see us in Hiram and oh how much fun we had!
Here are some of Carter's and Ridge's images, taken in our back yard:
We had glorious weather with not too much sun but still enough warmth and 'glow' to bathe the boys (and their moms) in wonderful light. I used a cross-processing finish on these because I love how it just makes their wonderful eye colors pop.
Hope to see you again soon, guys!
Last week, two little favorites of mine stopped by with their parents.. 5 year old Nicholas and his little baby brother Lucas, who's just about to turn one year old. Oh the fun! And just when I thought I knew everything there is to know about taking pictures, smart little Nicholas teaches me something new: He finds it quite boring having to say 'Cheese!' during his photo sessions so he came up with a whole different kind of repertoire regarding 'Smile Words'.. some examples: Popcorn, Cookies, Cheerios - you get the picture.
Not surprisingly, we ended up with a lot of 'o' pictures - one cuter than the other. Nice work, Nicholas - how bout a couple of 'e' words next time? =D
We also took those two gorgeous little guys outside for some fresh, green, and relaxed outdoor shots - which we finished up just in time before the first couple of rumbling thunders announced yet another Georgia summer storm rolling in.. what great timing we had!
Anyways.. I had a lot of fun with them, as always, and I'm excited we ended up with as many beautiful shots as we did - over 70 in the gallery! Woot!
Here are some examples of what we did that day:
This past weekend I've had a brand new customer visit me at our little studio in Hiram.. 3 month old Cameron made his debut in front of my camera and he had brought with him his mom and his grandmother.
We were all just absolutely amazed about how professional and nonchalant little Cameron was handling all those new impressions - a big strobe firing away at him, a strange lady constantly clicking and pushing buttons on this black machine pointing at him.. nothing phased him, he was a total sunshine. What a joy!
We got a lot of very nice shots of this handsome young man and I decided to share some with you..
I can't wait to see him and his family again soon for a family session!
We've had a lot going on at Parago Photography this past month. We've launched our very first official Ad in a local magazine, we've made changes to the studio set-up, we've purchased exciting new software and we've had some wonderful people come in and allow me to take their pictures.
One of them was cute little Connor, who just celebrated his first birthday and who just absolutely tocuhed my heart with his big eyes and his even bigger smile.
Isn't he adorable?
..
We've also had little man Sam pay us a visit at Parago Photography; and what a sweet and mellow little guy he is. He had brought his mom and grandma with him and we had a TON of fun doing his pictures.. I'll never forget him (you know why, mom, right?)
This is him here:
All in all we're having a fantastic beginning of spring and we can't wait to see who else will
come by and see us this season. Call us to make an appointment and we'll see you soon!
