Another slideshow to share

Here is another sample slideshow that I just finished for my client today. I love this song – it always makes me smile. And it helps when I’m looking at such a cute kiddo!:)

Meet Miss Madison

Yes, you get to know her name! Her mom is a good friend of mine and I know she doesn’t mind. I was so excited to finally take some pictures of this little sweety. She is adopted, as is her older brother, from an orphanage in Kazakhstan. I couldn’t imagine a better family for these two kids. Their parents are so energetic, happy, and full of life. Nicolas came home a couple years ago, and Madison just got here this year. It’s amazing to see how fast these kids grow and thrive with the nurture and support of a family. Love is a wonderful thing – with so much power to heal.

Well – enough said. I’m sure you will see – Madison is beautiful and Nicolas is so handsome – and they were meant to be together as a family!:)

Look at that grin!

Yes, I’m addicted to the tu-tu – I can’t help it!

Here they are together – such a sweet moment.

Isn’t he a cutie! All the neighbor girls are already after him!

It’s hard for me to believe this is the same little boy they brought home just a couple short years ago. He’ so BIG!

Oh – I forgot to mention that these pictures are a surprise for Father’s Day so ssshhhhhhh!

With patience comes GREAT images!

This was my third time photographing this beautiful young lady. The last two times, she just went with the flow and did whatever we wanted but now she is 18 months old and has a mind of her own. It’s amazing for me to watch these children grow and become unique individuals.

We spent about 15 minutes in the backyard and I think Mom was ready to throw in the towel. Little miss “A” was frowning and crying and showing us her temper. I suggested we go inside and relax and just let her have a break. Even the youngest of children know when something is “expected” of them. Well, after a little milk break the smiles started flowing and she was so happy to show us her “fun side” on her own terms.

So, what started out with these faces………

Ended up with lots of these faces!

I LOVE this picture! I just knew when I snapped the shutter that it was gorgeous. I’m thinking huge CANVAS!:)She’s holding her “night-night” blanky. Click on it to get a better view of her eyes.

And sometimes pictures just go together and tell their own story. I thought I would share these two collages I did. This was her baby that she set up for a picture (click on it to see it bigger)

And this was the jumping part of the session!

Thanks miss “A” for coming out of your shell and letting me get some fabulous images for mom! Next up (later this year) the whole family including her older twin brothers!
