Meet Mr. Landon

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of photographing one of the cutest little guys ever — 9-month-old Landon.  His mom contacted me a while back to set up a shoot for his milestone pictures.  I had a blast with him and his mommy and daddy and got some really sweet shots of them together.  Here are a few of my favorites from our time together.

I cannot get over the twinkle in those baby blues of his!


I mean really, this kid is adorable.  He's got the sweetest little personality and never made a fuss about anything.  I wonder how he feels about older women because I happen to know a really sweet little girl he should meet.  She's twice his age though.  Might be an issue. ;-)


You can clearly see why Mom and Dad couldn't leave him stranded on the railroad tracks for long, huh.


Landon loves kisses from his two favorite people.


So many expressions!  And again, those eyes!


Sweet little family.


He was a man on a mission....his snacks were just out of the frame.  What started as just a cute moment of him taking off just before I got "the shot" ended up actually being "the shot".  If there's one thing that really embodies this age....it's new-found mobility!


Thank you Tranberg family for the chance to capture your sweet little man's 9-month portraits.  It was a joy working with you guys, and I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Meet the Zschiesche family

Meet Ed and Coda Zschiesche. 

Coda contacted me after she and my mom discovered each other on Facebook.  You see, my mom babysat  for Ed and Coda a couple of years ago.  Her charges were the ones you'll see below...yep, the ones with their own grown kids.  So...maybe it was more than just a couple of years ago, but not much, right Mom?  Anyway, Coda asked me if I could meet up with them on Thanksgiving day to get a big group shot of the whole family together, and I was happy to oblige. 


With 14 of them, you can understand why it's difficult to get everyone in one place at the same time.


This is Charles, wife Judy, and daughters Evan and Erin. 


It's pictures like this one that make me smile to know my little Savannah is going to have a sister.  It's a special bond (I imagine anyway...ya know...since I can't speak from experience).


This is Josh, wife Dionne, and sons Tyler (center), Jace (right), and Colton (left).


Handsome bunch.


This is Jodie, husband Clayton, and son Taylor.


All the grandkids.


It was a pleasure to meet all of you guys!  I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving together and that you love the results of our little holiday photo session.
