Wow, have these sweet little girls grown! I first met Olivia and Emma last August and had the pleasure again of spending some time with them yesterday afternoon. Photographing one nine month old baby can be challenging. Photographing two seems nothing short of a miracle! These little girls had much exploring to do and had no time to stop for a photo session. Snacks they’d stop for… primping and preening, not so much. My favorite part of the afternoon was witnessing these two sisters interact together.

They can’t help but make you smile…

Enjoy!

What could possibly be better than a perfectly beautiful 3 month old little princess?

A sleeping beauty perhaps?

Or how about 2? :)

What a pleasure it was to photograph babies Olivia and Emma this afternoon. Such precious little girls….

Well, ready or not, fall is here. :) I was made most aware of this yesterday evening as I headed down to the lake for a family portrait session. Now I can appreciate a breezy day along with the rest of you, but I don’t know that breezy would suffice to describe the wind conditions at this location yesterday evening. Since we had already gotten everyone there, this family totally stuck it out with me to get some great shots. A large family portrait did prove elusive, but I feel great about what we did get and you’ll find my favorite image at the end of the post.
What beautiful families (even a *bit* wind blown)….  

Enjoy!







This just cracks me up……… I love it!

And my favorite from the session. I just love the tenderness in this shot……

The Bailey Kids

September 25, 2008 – 10:28 pm
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…….

Who knew a bowl of raisin bran could come to this…..

September 12, 2008 – 2:17 pm

 





Ok, here’s how I found Gin upon returning to the kitchen after having left her there with a bowl of raisin bran. Like any good mom I know, instead of heading to the linen closet I headed straight for the camera. I know the lighting isn’t anything to write home about and the background could use some work, but hey, sometimes ya just gotta get the shot.

To my delight, one of my very first and very favorite clients (don’t worry, I love all my clients!) came back today. We had an evening session at the lake planned and though we were a bit cramped with a beach wedding nearby, we made it work and had some lovely music in the background. :) 

Here are a few of my favs, 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!

This morning started bright and early with this perfect little angel. M is almost 3 months old and was sweet as pie for her session.
What a great way to start the day! 

Enjoy your preview, Mom and Dad…..

My Gin Bean

June 17, 2008 – 6:50 am

I figured since I recently introduced you to Kiera, I will spend sometime introducing all of my children. (And hey, it gives me a good reason to keep snapping pictures of them!)
Here is Genevieve, more commonly referred to as Ginny and most affectionately referred to as Gin Bean by her mama.

She is the last of 6 children and I really do feel we ended on the perfect note.
She’s an absolute doll….. full of wonder, excitement and overflowing with love.

No matter how many children one has, nothing quite prepares you for the unique journey you will experience with each of them. Coming out of the same family, the same beginning…. they will each offer something different to the world and in turn the world will have something different in store for each of them.

The blessing that family provides though remains unchanging. It is so precious…..priceless really…..

I photographed this little beauty earlier today. I don’t think she was so sure about having her pictures taken, but she hung in there and even gave us a few smiles!
