I love it when a client asks me to do photos in their home, especially for family photos. The reason I love this, is because some day you will move on, and your kids will be able to look back and see the family as you were in that setting. It is more than a photo, it is a time capsule for the future. Here are a few of my favorites from 2011!

This is one of my favorite photos from this year! I think the client looks like a model in her daughter’s beautiful nursery, and the bare feet make it even better!

This photo was part of a series we did for this little boy’s second birthday. His parents had me come over and spend a typical Saturday with them. I photographed them playing together, reading, singing, racing across the driveway, and more. It was an awesome record of his life at that stage, and such a smart idea on the part of his parents!

I loved doing these maternity photos. While we did a few indoors, we shot the majority at home. When their son was born, we went back and shot him in some of the places we shot mama the month before.

I love this photo of mama and papa waiting patiently in the nursery!

Here is one last photo . . . with the complete family.

Doing photos in the home can be a bit more work, we have to bring in lights, and sometimes move things around a bit, but it can be worth it for the moments we catch, and the memories you are creating for your children!

Happy New Year!

This adorable baby was three weeks old by the time we took his photos, but wow, he was really active! I think he slept about thirty minutes out of the five hours or so I was with him at his parent’s house. Check him out holding up his head and looking around!

Here are a few of my favorites from the session:

Daddy is a fireman!

I loved working with the Green family, with those gorgeous red-headed girls! We shot these photos at Colby’s parents lovely property in Prague, Oklahoma. Two gorgeous girls, and a mom and dad who are just fun to be around, meant the photo session was just a joy for me! To top it off, I had created photos for Colby’s parent’s at the same location just a few weeks before, so I got to hang out with the whole family that afternoon!

The fabulous Miss Kelly and I had a great time in Shawnee, Oklahoma creating her glamourous Senior high school photo session. Kelly plans to do another session later with a more natural look. This is a great way to show the many sides of a high school Senior.  I love the juxtaposition of her lovely make up and her country girl vibe.
