When you put a hat on a boy, gee-what happens? It looks like he is doing a rap or something.

Kids are so fun and so uncertain. I love the way they just stare in hopes that me and the camera will either disappear or hand out candy. : ) I love to see how these little personalities will interact with me. Most of all, I love that styles today incorporate accessories that are as big as the child themselves. Just gotta love a cute headband and a good pair of jeans!
Little Dancer
This photoshoot was fun-she in her tutu, dancing and jumping and stretching and twirling. I had many to review but I ended up liking these-she is so sweet and precious. Having a studio allows personalities and talents to shine. That’s all they’ve got when on white paper with lights and a camera staring at them. She loved dance and she is good!
You say its your birthday
I just finished making these last night at Scrapbooks, Etc. in Mesa. I started off the year being super excited about birthdays for my clients’ kids. BUT, since I didn’t get started before January 1st, I am simply behind. I had fun incorporating my colors and making them a bit more fun than a card-ish card. : ) So, if you have given me your kids’ birthday, shout hooray! because your little darling will be getting his/her personal note in the mail with something super special inside! I can’t tell you the secret but I hope your kids will like it! Sorry to all the January birthdays… I am sending them today!
Time away
Whenever I have time away from the computer (a necessary evil) I have a chance to evaluate, consider, think and be excited all over again. Sometimes too much thinking is well, just too much. : ) But we went away on vacation without laptop and camera, technically I had the camera but weather did not permit its use. I managed to bring it along on one day’s adventure but the rain was so bad I decided to leave it back at the hotel. Anyhow, when I am here-“in the office” I get locked on what am I supposed to be doing, how behind am I on stuff and keeping up with all of it. When away, I have to let go. I can’t be where I am not and I can’t do what I cannot. So, back at the day, still in my PJ’s I am playing catch up to nothing but my own expectations and assignments! Funny how that happens! I am glad to be back, sitting here and feeling inspired all over again.
I am still pulling pictures from last year’s stuff. I probably will since my blog was nothing short of shameful last year. I wanted to start new so I am pretending like this is the first time it is out there! I have reserved January as the month to work on the business, not in the business. I am all about proactive (try to be), not reactive. I wanted to have systems in place, stuff in order so I can continue to run the rest of my life and not let this and everything else run me. It is a work in process and something on my mind most of the time but I am excited about what I have been able to address and accomplish in January.
This… it was all Todd. We were dying to get some emotion out of him. His face was stationary in what he thought was the perfect smile for family photos. He was doing a fairly good job. : ) I was hoping to see something more and it happened when I asked him what else he wanted to do or what else he had in mind. He got his family on board, lined them up and finally something real was shown on his face (and everyone else’s). In this photo, you can just see the kids thinking he is a little funny and there is Courtney barely agreeing to his cleverness. In the end, I think this is what they wanted, not the first 30 minutes…

May the picture speak for itself! : ) My dear friend will certainly forgive me for posting this as it just has to be posted!
Different
Show me color, show me fun! Show me different and I’ll run run run (or jump for joy, or do a little jig, or call you back for more)! Gotta love those who are willing to let loose and be different! A picture is worth lots of words… something like a thousand I hear.
Does size really matter?
I love these moments, candid moments. Nobody is going to be hanging this above their sofa as a 60×40 print (I would). How could I NOT keep this? If I was a millionaire (maybe I would need to be a billionaire to do this) I would compile a short story from people’s photo shoots, make large prints, and design their wall using Minda or Alisha (since they are much more skilled in that area than I) and have all sorts of prints like THIS-the true side. Who cares about the boring ones-everybody has those. I want personality, I want emotion, I want something different. BTW, this happened to come because Darin was going to have his boys hanging from both sides-showing his strength of course. Well, somehow that ended up like this- a comparison and what appears to be a size debate. : )
