Three beautiful faces…

Diane brought her 3 children in tonight to have portraits created.  I have always loved their faces and made some wonderful closeups for her as a surprise.  They have been coming to see me since the oldest one was very little and I enjoy seeing how much they have grown every year.  Here is your sneak peek, Diane – Enjoy!  See you next week.

I do love those curves!!!

Sweet baby “O” came in today with her parents and grandma and big sister, too.  We created images similar to her sister’s that we did 2 years ago, when she was this age.  The black and white’s of baby “O” and her dad were created to hang together in their family portrait gallery.  The heavy grain on the black and white’s is intentional.  I feel like it makes it more of an art piece.  Let me know what you think in comments.  Enjoy your sneak peek, Mom, Dad and Grandma!  See you next week for all the rest.  (And, yes, grandma, we got the one you wanted!)

From pregnancy to newborn…

Liliana came to me earlier this year for pregnancy portraits as a surprise for her husband and then came back with her husband and their darling little baby boy for their first family portraits!  Take a peek…

Father’s Day surprises…

Both of these Dad’s got surprise images for Father’s Day…dad with his 3 grown sons and new dad with his new little one.  The image of Gary with his 3 grown sons is just great because you can see the pride in his face and the joy of being there with his children.  Mary Jo is going to decorate her family room with canvases of all the different poses of the entire family group as well as individual separates.  What a keepsake that will be for the family throughout the years.  The one with her new little grand-daughter and her son is so precious because of the “smile” that you can see on daddy’s face.  No, you can’t see his face, but you CAN see the delight in the smile crinkles around his eyes.  I just love this one!

Super Dad – the Younger…

As you can see by these pics, I have a real live Super Dad for a step-son!  But he IS the “younger” version of my husband.  Somewhere along the way, long before I met my husband, he started saying,  “They don’t call me Super Dad for nothing!”   Yes, my husband does actually have a resemblance to Superman.   So, since my step-son is named Miles (the younger) and not junior and my husband is Miles (the original?), we now must call Miles, the younger, Super Dad – the Younger!  Anyway, we took these several weeks ago in order to give some to my husband for Father’s Day as a surprise.  We chose the more classic ones in white for my husband to match the gallery of  family images that he now has, but I made sure that we got the Super Dad images of Miles and his daughter, Alexa as a special keepsake for them.  Hope everyone had a very special Father’s Day.  And an especially wonderful wish for everyone that is celebrating a First Father’s Day this time around!
