The Gardners' Autumn Portraits

It was a beautiful, brisk autumn evening and the leaves were still colorful for the Gardners' portrait session last week.  So that you will enjoy their 2018 Christmas card which will include two favorite portraits from this session, we have omitted those two images from their session favorites shown below.  Check back in about a month or less and we should have their Christmas card available for you to enjoy!

Andrew's adorable 18-month old portraits

My, how fun and easy it was to capture Andrew's cute expressions for his 18-month portraits.  His sister didn't plan to take any portraits but after we got started she wanted to get in on the act!  We quickly moved from an orange chair against our brown background to match Andrew's olive colored suit and red hair, to some wooden steps, and then to a little preacher pose with the bible and vintage suitcase. While Andrew changed into his casual outfit, we switched to our popular white background and set up some teddy bears on a miniature red sofa, started throwing a ball and brought in our wooden horse rocker to keep Andrew active and happy!  We then grabbed the rocking horse and red wagon and headed outside to capture some quick shots of our cute little man before he got too cold!  His mom's favorites from his session are included below and I know you will enjoy viewing his adorable 18-month old portraits and a couple of his big sister!

Cameron's 8th Grade Graduate Portraits

Cameron loves the outdoors and it sure showed in the portraits we took last weekend.  I couldn't believe he was able to climb up on a limb that was much taller than him.  I took the pic as fast as I could as it made me (and his mom) nervous seeing him out on the limb!  Made for a pretty cool shot though!  I encourage my customers to mainly wear solid colors.  It makes for a better portrait as the clothing doesn't overpower the person in the portrait and that is quite evident in the last ones displayed here in his white shirt.  I just love this last shot of him below.  I have included my favorites of his session.  Enjoy!  :)
