This little gal simply could not have been cuter. Look at those eyes! And her eye lashes are totally to die for! She wasn’t really impressed with our attempts to photograph her much of the time, but she came around and realized the lime light is right where she belongs! Good thing since Mom has plans!

Claire, here is your sneak peek!! You guys were great. I’m so glad we beat the rain. Thanks so much for allowing me to photograph you and your most special friend. This one is a favorite, for sure. But, I couldn’t narrow it down beyond that, so here are several more!

The cobbler’s children NOW have shoes!

Ever heard that saying? Well, it really goes, “The cobbler’s children have no shoes.” What it means is that the cobbler is so busy making shoes for everyone else, that he doesn’t have time to make them for his own children. Well, this happens to us photographers, too! I get so busy working on pictures for clients, that it’s hard to find time to take portraits of my own children. Especially with 6 of them. That should take a pretty large block of time. Well, between my own schedule and that of my teenager, a large block of time just wasn’t going to happen. So, I took a small block – 45 minutes, to be exact – and grabbed a couple of shots of each of them. Here are my favorite of each kiddo.

Here is my oldest. She’s nearly 16. Wow. That’s so hard to believe.

Here is my tomboy. She hates having her picture taken and it’s always a fight to get her into the mood. But, I ended up not just with one I could live with, but one I really like!

Here is Thing 1. And let me say, after having two girls, these guys really do qualify as Things!!

And here’s Thing 2. It’s hard to look at them and imagine they are twins!

Here is my little princess. Actually, the picture I took of her at this session didn’t really show her to her best. It’s the little one. A few days later, I took one at home that really is more “her.” So, even though it doesn’t match the set, I think it’s the one I’m going to frame with the other kids. Or maybe I’ll put the matching one in the group display, and print the other one to hang somewhere else. First, the one with the other kids, and second the one I like better.

And along came Thing 3. Dr. Seuss didn’t write about him. It was too scary for a children’s book. This little guy is a crazy, fearless, daredevil!! He’s also quite ornery. Can’t you tell from that smile? Yes. He thinks he’s smiling in this picture.

I couldn’t end the session without some group shots. Well, actually, I started with these. You can tell it’s early because my cranky girl refused to smile.

Fortunately, in this shot, it didn’t matter if she smiled or not! This will be going over our fireplace.

That’s it! It was a very quick session, but we got everyone done! Oh, and just ignore the fact that my title contradicts this last image. They really do have shoes!

Just a little ps: I LOVE that my new blog allows me to show images bigger!
