Miss Mia

Next up was the lovely Miss Mia who was there for her 9 month pictures.  Brothers Owen and Evan were there to give her some moral support (as well as physical support!).  She wasn't too sure about trying to walk in the grass.

After giving her as much support as they could muster, the boys ran off to play with Alex in the park while Mia continued her modeling career.  With those eyes, she could go far!

I just had to get a close up of her eyelashes.  They are so long!  What a doll.

Rock On!

OMG!  What a great morning for photo shoots.  Although it was hot and humid, the kids were so much fun and soooooo cute!  I had the best time and could have spent hours with all of them.

First up was Alex, aka Hawk, at least in his mind.  He's five going on 15 and is ready to rock and roll.  We had fun climbing trees, walking along train tracks, and I even got to learn some ninja moves! 

He was so much fun.  I just know my Cora would have LOVED rockin' out with him.  She would have usurped his guitar and run off with it. 

At home on the farm

Meet the E family - Mom, Dad, Emi (almost 3), and twins Caroline and Natalie (6 months).  Mom and Dad were so easy-going and fun.  I guess you'd have to be to have three kids just 2 and a half years apart!  The girls were so cute and the whole family looked like they belonged on this farm.  I think the last picture is one of my favorites.  I love how Emi's little tongue sticks out.  So adorable!

Adler and Halina

I told you I'd be back with more of Adler and Halina, my friend Denise's darling kids.  We braved the mosquitos tonight to get some sibling shots.  I don't know what Denise did to bribe them, but they were wonderful for the shoot!  They did everything I asked of them (although sometimes I had to ask more than once in a pleading tone) so we got some great shots of the two of them together.  Just having fun and playing as brothers and sisters can only do.

  

I had a great time photographing them at the park and then at the splash pad.  And I think they enjoyed it as well!

You asked for it! Announcing another mini-session!

 

The response to my latest mini-session was such an overwhelming success that I just needed to plan another one!  This one will take place at Minnehaha Park (Waubun Picnic area - there's a great spot just down the hill that will allow for a variety of neat backgrounds) on Wednesday, August 25, from 1:30 - 3:30 pm.  There are only four spots available, so sign up quickly!  The session will last 30 minutes and costs $50.  You will receive either 8 wallets OR (1) 8x10 AS WELL AS a CD with five of your images and a print release!  Payment must be made at time at session.  Contact me at rebekah@imageseverlasting.com to reserve your spot today!

Lovely Liliana

Do you ever have so many things going on you can't keep 'em all straight?  That happened to me today.  I've been planning a mini-session for August 4, but inadvertently told one of the people to come on July 21 instead of the 4th.  Oops!  And guess what?  For a 30 minute session, I have over 200 photos to wade through.  I think it worked out great.

Liliana was such a joy to photograph.  She had such amazing expressions!  And those eyes!  So deep and dark.

And I just love her little teeth.  Babies are adorable!
