My Dream Come True Shoot

I've been dreaming of taking these two kiddies pictures for awhile now...it got to the point that every outfit or prop I was buying had to be in their sizes and their faces were always in my mind. I put all my faith in the old saying, "if you buy it, they will come" and I am thrilled to report that the saying is TRUE!!

The opportunity came and it was really a dream come true and so much fun!

P.S. Check out the mini top hat I made! I'm such a nerd...a proud proud nerd!

I'm Thankful for Photoshop!

I had such a fun photo shoot recently. Photo shoots with one kid are a blast but times that by 5 with 4 of the 5 being boys...fun overload! There were moments mid-leaf/hay fight I'd remember I was supposed to be taking pictures and not throwing props in the air or at peoples children!

We ended up with some great solos of these cousins but as was expected with 5 kids under the age of 5, finding shots with all of them looking the same direction, let alone at me, were few and far between.

This is why over the Thanksgiving Holiday I would like to express thanks to Adobe for creating photoshop, this great tool that allows me to face swap heads from various shots onto bodies in the shot to get beautiful images like this one. Look at these munchkins! I think Grandma will love her Christmas present!

Where else do you get a backdrop like this?

On another trip out west to catch up with friends we did a shoot capture one of my favorite boys, Luc. We wanted to get some fun ones of him on this breathtaking Mountain Ridge where he gets to grow up. You never know how long you'll be in a certain place but you can bet in the next one your front yard probably wont look like this so we had to capture it.

While we were at it we thought we'd try to get something for this years Christmas card with the whole Fam Dam! These are my favorites.

Here's Luc teaching little Roman what a great friend a grasshopper can be!
