His mom was not kidding when she told me her son had gorgeous eyes! And long black eye lashes too.
“H” is the oldest of the 3 boys and man I could take pictures of that boy all day. He was so sweet and not once did I hear a complaint. He did and tried anything I asked him to and all with a sheepish smile. He was so fun and I really had a nice time talking to him and getting to know him better.
Hope- you should be proud you raised such great boys! What is your secret?
One of new favorite clients lives right in my neighborhood. Hope Cassel is an ob-gyn and mother to 3 fantastic boys. She is so great with them and lets them be, well them. Their smiles really were the sweetest when she was around, and I think it is a testament to just how much they adore her.
I have gotten to have a portrait session with 2 of them at a local park and I am anxious to get her oldest on the other-side of my lens as soon as we can fit it in to her busy schedule. (She is in the process of opening her new office which I have no doubt will be very successful. She is a great mix of knowledge and compassion!)
The boys and I had fun exploring and getting to know each other. One of them is in the same kindergarten class as my daughter and the other is in the same grade as my son.
Here is “H” her youngest, he had a skateboard and the most practical way I’ve ever seen to ride it ……
And her sweet middle child “G” who was really into leaf collecting while on our shoot 
I met one of my dearest friends at the park with her kids and their cousins to do a quick family shoot for their Grandma.
They were all so energetic and really curious about the park.
5 kids all under 7 yrs old keeps a photographer and the parents helping out all on their toes.
While they were not huge fans of doing the group shots, they all seemed to love doing the individuals and were each eager to take their turn playing model.
It was fast and furious, but I think love how they turned out!
What a sweet family!
They were so fun and the kids were wonderfully active.
The little girl is 3 and the little boy is almost a year old.
A mutual friend of ours said I would want to “eat them up” they are so cute and they didn’t disappoint.
I had a great time getting to know them and thought they were just such a loving family.
Seriously they are the kind of family that I hope I will get to watch grow in the years to come!
It’s that time of year again…
We are a few weeks away and she has her costume, she is learning the dance, and it was time for the ballet class pics.
I couldn’t resist stopping on my way home to snap a few myself…just in case
After-all she looked totally precious !
My little Beauty lives in the world of Fancy Nancy!
Over the top is a way of life. Accessories are a necessity.
Some of the outfits she puts together can almost make you dizzy.
I usually let the concoctions ride, as long as the outfit is weather appropriate.
We were walking out of the gym the other day and someone said, “Wow, what a colorful outfit,”
I shout out in my defensive mother voice “She dresses herself”
They said “Well, her outfit makes me feel happy”
What a nice compliment!
A new indoor Go-Cart track has opened up by us.
C was so excited, just look how big his eyes are …
My hubby was a little excited himself…
Poor little Beauty was not tall enough to ride or drive yet…
But first they had to wait their turn for the track….
C was up first, with 3 other “little” boys…
He pushed that pedal to the floor and was off… and he was awesome!
Then it was the “big” boys turn…
A wave for his adoring fans ….
The boys had a great time. I had fun taking pics and cheering them on.
As for Beauty… try not to feel too sad for poor Beauty.
She got to go shopping for a new dress after lunch!
It has been cold and generally not fun to be outside (unless you are on the mountain) as of late.
C has been immersed in the world of personal video games.
He plays soccer in the spring, swims and goes to sports camp in the summer, and resumes soccer again in the fall.
But this time of year is rough on outdoor sports.
He makes a weekly appearance in Karate class, but the usual afternoons spent at our park just don’t happen when it is this cold.
After a long day at school he really enjoys zoning out with the video game for a little “me/down” time…. 7 year old style!
Look at his concentration
