Maleski Family Photo Shoot

Well, it took awhile to set up, but we did it!  The Maleski family of three is a ton of fun and I can't wait to photograph them again!! We shot in the backyard on a beautiful day as well!  Lauren is going to be my right hand gal on some upcoming photo shoots.  She has experience with head shots and posing so we can bring out the best in everyone!  I am so excited to have her on board!

 We didn't have to do too much monkey jumping around to make this little guy laugh.  However, I will say he was a little partial to smiling at his mom who was standing behind the camera in these shots!

You don't think that Mike is a little proud of his boy, do you?!  How cute are they in those matching hats?
After the shoot, someone had a bottle and a blankie and someone(s) else grilled out...

The Castillo Family

There is a new member of the Castillo family and that means photos to seal such a huge event in their lives!

We had a great time swinging and looking for the elusive bobcat that hangs out behind their house! Grandma was comedic relief and the 3 year old thought she was the funniest he had ever seen! Sometimes it takes a village to photograph a 3 year old, right?

Then it was the little guy's time to shine :) What a doll baby! His mom, Brae and I had a fun day- including lunch-while Colton lunched and then back to the work of being adorable while being photographed!

Don't let that yawn fool you! He is an alert newborn :)

Thank you Castillo's, for letting me be such an important part of your day!

One of the many things I love about photography is getting to know the families I photograph.  These are the Baneys.  Don't they look like Floridians? They are die hard, '72 degrees is freezing' Floridians! Their oldest daughter was home for Thanksgiving and we whipped it out to the beach for a "Beach is the only place to live" Christmas card photo!  Of course I couldn't just take a family photo. They were so much fun I shot until the sun went down!

This was on the front of their Christmas card (minus the watermark!)

The kids wanted a jumping shot...I love it!

Always time for a sneaky photographer shot of a handsome guy!

 

OK...the Atlantic is a little cool this time of year, at least for Floridians...without wetsuits!

Always need a portrait of the couple who started it all!

How long has it been since just you and  your "insert embarrassing nickname here" had your photo taken together...that you want displayed?  Time flies doesn't it?

Thanks Rick and Anne!
