Ryan, Tina and Kolbee's Family Portraits at Holmes Lake

It's great to be able to say that I haven't had time to write on my photo blog because I've been so busy, well, being a photographer.  I've been taking photos for a church directory, trying to work with a web designer to create a website for my photos, and shuffling around a few photo shoots as well (at least trying to, because the weather has been so crummy). The one I'd like to share with you today was a lot of fun -- and exhausting!  Small children are delightful to shoot -- but they can be challenging.



Oh, and I sat in a mud puddle while trying to get a shot. Fortunately I had a sweatshirt to tie around my waist, so I looked even cooler than usual. :)

It was hard to choose favorites! This family was a lot of fun, having all the necessary qualities for a successful photo shoot: they were active, affectionate AND photogenic.  The ultimate trifecta.

This one also ranks in my absolute favorites. I love the way her baby-fine hair just gleams in the sun.

This was the story of the day: Kolbee running away, Mom and Dad chasing after her. :) Here she is veering to avoid me.

I love her little chubby fists...

And a couple of Ryan and Tina to end the day. We had to get Kolbee in her carseat to take these...'cause we knew she'd escape otherwise!

Thanks for looking!
