Columbia State Park

The 257 Stairs I went down with Ronin in my arms and then then climbed them right back up. My husband took the short way down and repelled.

Today we had a family day and we went to the Columbia State Park. It was a long ride there and back but we made it and it was fun. Below are some photos of some of the highlights of the day.

Ardenwood Park Portraits

Today I got to do a fun session of these two twin girls. My goal was to capture the interaction between these two sisters. There were lots of different portraits that I would love to share with you all but I selected these portraits to share.

Something New...

Something new and exciting I am happy to offer right now is change of background after the portrait has been taken. The benefit of this is that I can now offer more choices in different backgrounds that normally I could not all have ready and available during the session. We can take a portrait on a white background and then add the background of our choice later. We can even zoom in on a portrait and create an entire new image. Check out a before and after below of an image I just did for my little model Marina. I zoomed in on the portrait touched her small finger that was poking out and changed the background.

Megan's Formal Attire Portraits

Megan came in for her queen portraits with her 2 side maids for the parade that she is a part of. Here are a couple of my favorite portraits from the session.

Portraits of a cute little girl

Today I got to take portraits of this 10 month old cute little girl. She was full of smiles and here are a few portraits from the session.

Fire Truck Day at Ardenwood Farm

Today we went to Ardenwood Farm and we got to see lots of fire trucks. Ronin enjoyed it very much and even got to seat in some of the fire trucks. Here are some pictures from the day.

Logan and Ronin

Logan and Ronin took some portraits today. They were both having fun listening to music and sharing candy together.

We got some White Rocks In....

My husband ordered just a few rocks for the garden here are a couple of shots of him and his friend working with the rocks and my son Ronin exploring. :-)

Congratulations Greg and Gorgia

Congratulations to your new addition to the family and once again Happy Birthday Greg. Today was Greg’s birthday and what better way to celebrate then to take some portraits with your new son and the rest of the family. I had fun working with you all today and here are a few portraits from the session.

Happy Mothers Day

A Poem For Moms

• She was there at the beginning when the world was new to you - She was there through out the happy times and during those when, you were hurt or blue.
• She was there to listen to your thoughts and when you asked, to give advice, She was there to tell you, \"Those don\'t match!\" Or, \"Hon, you sure look nice.\"
• She was there with you at nighttime to help you say your prayers She was there to tell you, \"It\'s alright.\" When you had a dream that scares.
• She was there at morning time to get you up and out of bed
• She was there when you didn\'t feel good (or did) To say, \"You\'d best stay home, instead.\"
• She was there when you were hungry And when you had those dirty clothes
• She was there when you needed her (How she knew? Only heaven knows.)
• She was there at the beginning And she'll be there your whole life through, she'll be there in your mind and heart Just like a mother is supposed to do.

Newark Community Center Kite Day

We happened to drive by the Family Kite Day event over at the Newark Community Center and of course I had to go grab my camera. We got there as it was ending so I didn’t get to take many photos but here are a few I took of this huge bear kite. Ronin had a lot of fun looking at this giant kite.
