It was such a pretty day when we photographed this little newborn, so we were able to do some shots inside and some outside. The family was so appreciative and accommodating in their home–truly a sweet family. I was so excited to show them the images that we got. Also, her sister was such a good sport through the entire session. We even got some shots of her alone, enjoying a flower.
It wasn’t that long ago that I did J’s maternity images when her little boy was in her tummy. And she’s now just weeks away from having another newborn baby. This time we did outdoor shots, and the colors were just lovely. As usual, they were just great to work with.
Kathleen: What a gorgeous mom! She's just radiant.
Emily Southerland: What a cute mama!! Congrats to her, and nice job to you!
Danielle Frank: Very nice! I love the one of mama and baby!
Jen Gasper: The colors are beautiful. Kind of makes me miss that time in my life. I love the image of the little girl with mom. I so remember the nice little shelf that I carried my boys around on when they were about the same age! Brings back memories. It is nice when a photo can evoke so much emotion!
Deirdre Dunham: Wonderful color in 1 - and what a pretty, glowing mama!
Tori Piercy: I just adore her belly button! Beautiful family and stunning mama to be!
Gail: Beautiful mom - to- be... she is just radiant! I can't wait to see the newborn session!
amy: What a glowing MOM.. Just beautiful.
Dawn Kitley: Great shots, Susan! You've really captured their love.
Desiree Hayes: Beautiful!!
This family was SUCH a pleasure to photograph! The parents recently had their 40th anniversary, and their son wanted to give them a gift of family photographs including him and his new wife. What a great idea. Aren’t they a beautiful family? And the colors go so well with their beauty and happiness. Glorious, I say. At the end, as I was taking some pictures of J and his wife, we looked over at his parents with my reflector and scrim with the sun shining through, and I just couldn’t resist getting some spontaneous silhouette photos of them with them. What fun! Here’s to 40th anniversaries, and to many more.
Julie: Lovely family session! And those last two are cute (especially the smooch!).

We had so much fun getting some wonderful Souther California style beach photographs. Swinging is what this little one loves. Can you tell! This family was just so comfortable doing their own thing, enjoying the beach like I wasn’t there. What a beautiful family!
Desiree Hayes: Beautiful! Gorgeous fam and I love the sunset light!

I feel like I’ve been ignoring this blog, but it’s not for lack of things to write about. Lots has been happening, and I’m looking forward to blogging about these things. One thing that’s been keeping me quite busy is three straight days of shooting from morning until night at a Janie & Jack kids clothing store. I photographed oodles of adorable children, and I’m looking forward to sharing some images from those sessions soon. Check back soon!
I saw this contest today, and I thought that some of my readers who are engaged to be married would be interested in this Ultimate Wedding Contest by Crate & Barrel. They are giving away a dream wedding worth $100,000. Oh, it sounds luxurious! Here’s the link: ultimate wedding contest: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/ultimatewedding/Default.aspx
Continuing my blogging on your family holiday photo shoots. This is another special family to me. Little Ms. O has so much personality as you can see here. Her brother was a little more coy the day of our photo shoot, but we still got some fun pictures of him as well.
Julie: What a cute family! I am partial to freckles myself (having always wanted some!). Great images!
These are from just before the holidays. Since the holidays were quite busy, I figured now would be a nice time to blog about a few of the families from our school fundraiser holiday mini sessions. More to come in the next few weeks.
I just love this family. I got to photograph baby E alone when she was just a few days old. That was over 9 months ago. My how she’s grown!
Desiree Hayes: What a cute family!! Beautiful images, Susan!
This is one of my favorite families to photograph. Mom is such a sweetheart–always so friendly and cheerful. Well her twins are now one, and I had the chance to photograph them with their family. It’s been since they were newborns since I last photographed them. And let’s not forget about big sister. She really loves her baby sister and brother.
Lina: Oh, those are absolutely great. Seems like everyone was having a great time!
Jennifer Boggett: Beautiful! I love the family photo - it looks so real and relaxed. Great work.
Tiona Fuller: This looks like it was a fun session! Such beautiful and spirited images!!
Angela Crutcher: These are so sweet! You did a fabulous job at capturing happiness and love in this family!
This event was near and dear to my heart, and I’m so glad that my Sister In-Law asked me to be the photographer. It was my Niece’s Bat Mitzva. I can’t believe how much she has grown both in beauty, intellegence and spirituality. She’s no longer my BABY niece. How fast time goes by!
ally: sweet, sweet! love all the pink!
Marla: What a sweet baby smile! Love that one especially.
Rhonda Stark: she seems so tiny in the 1st shot .. just adorable! love the smiley shot too!
