Last week I was able to photograph some of my very favorite people (that aren’t my own kids!). My wonderful best friend brought her family in for some christmas photos. These kids have the most big beautiful blue eyes, I swear! I know they’ve been anxiously waiting to see if this session was fruitful (yup, I was a blog slacker), so here they are…..

What do you think, fruitful?
(me? definitely!)

 

 

 

 

 

And the parents of the gorgeous kids. :) They’re lovely too. 

 

sweet….sweet….sweet.

The Bailey Kids

It’s that time of year again…..the annual christmas card photo endeavor. Let me tell ya, this is no small task in the Bailey household. I know what your thinking…..”This should be no sweat for you, Jenna. ” It just ain’t so. Seriously people. I don’t know what comes over the kids and me. And honestly, I don’t know whose worse…..the kids…..or ME. I just can’t explain it…When I get all of my kids in front of the camera together, I turn into someone (or something) even I can hardly recognize. I get so flustered, stressed and (I’ll admit it ) downright cranky. I truly must sound like a raving lunatic out there trying to demand the attention of all my kids, who are determined to look anywhere but into the camera or at their mother. Seriously, when Ginny sees the camera point her way, she cries. Okay, maybe not always…. 

I headed out today with a list of ideas in my mind, a plan of attack, and of course the kids too (though I think they would have rather been left behind!) We even had Grandma and Grandpa there for a bit of extra help.
But, as these things generally go…..nothing went quite as planned. But it’s done now and we can all take a deep breath, relax and be grateful that it’s over. :)

And here they are…..all the Bailey kids….smiling on the outside…..counting the minutes till they are free on the inside.

I also spent a few minutes with each of the kids getting some individual shots. (A much easier and more enjoyable task)

Doug, 13 1/2

Jason, 12

Kiera, 8 (in 1 week anyohw)

William, 6 (also in a week)

Maddie, 4

Ginny, 19 months (and a mouth full of smarties)

Nope, not my kids. :) But gosh aren’t they adorible anyhow!
meet my parents…….

Today brought me down to beautiful Lake Villa to photograph a couple of equally beautiful families. The kids were all cooperative, the parents helpful, and these families were just totally fabulous and sweet to work with.
The weather was lovely but felt about 100 degrees (seriously-I wasn’t a pretty sight to behold by the end!) I’m not sure of the actual temperature but surely it was HOT!
Everybody held out though and we got some great images! Here are some of my favorites….. 

Enjoy the peek!

Enjoy……..

14 month old walkers have fast little legs and 5 year old little boys have fast little attention spans, but they are all……oh so sweet! 

Today’s session was this lovely family at the lakeside.
Enjoy your peek, Mom and Dad!

I had the pleasure and honor of shooting a wedding this day. Not my typical venue by any means, but what an awesome experience. Just as much as I enjoy seeing the awe and adoration between parents and their new babes, I totally enjoyed being witness to the love and passion between this newly wed couple.

I have also found that as with photographing children, photographing adults is really no different in at least one way. There is always at least one “glitch” so to speak. Here in Southeastern Wisconsin, last week gave breed to a massive outpouring of mosquito’s. So, though the rain stayed away, there were a swarm of uninvited guests at this occasion. I think a wedding is one of those times though, that not anything can put a damper on the celebratory atmosphere….It sure did make taking portraits interesting though!

Here are just a handful from the evening……Enjoy!
