Turning One

The prefect session. Perfect. Such a fantastic milestone to capture too, turning One!  Truly one of the most joyful little girls I have ever met. She makes me want to shoot one years olds every day.

A New Son

It’s  wonderful to have my friends refer me to their friends and colleagues -that’s how I met this family. Such adorable boys and nice parents! I am finding many wonderful uses for my new wide angle lens lately too; love the shot of big brothers room with the fireman toys and decor (guess what Dad does?).

On an other note, I am almost caught up. Lots of blog posts this week to follow……

Growing up

I’m sure most photographers will tell you how much we enjoy seeing clients again, especially little ones. I would have never matched this baby to her newborn picture, how she’s grown and changed! I also thought the resemblance to her brother was really remarkable. Makes me wonder if a third sibling would also be as identical! icon wink Growing up

The Twins are One

Remember these two?

aIMG 2095 copy The Twins are One

Well they’re almost One now! Seeing how babies grow and change in the first year never gets old to me; it’s simply amazing. You can really see hints of their personality in the images too.

10x20b Siblings

 8x12b Siblings            To the outside world, we all grow old.   But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were/ We know each other’s hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We outside the touch of time.  Carla Ortega

Smithville Christian High School – SDCH

I’ve been shooting at Smithville Christian High over the last few weeks taking images for their promotional material.  I’ve had the pleasure of capturing Boys Soccer, the cast of the drama production (The Mouse that Roared), Chapel, Creative Arts evening, the Community Choir as well as regular student life. I’d like to tell you that it makes me feel like a teen again – but nope. I have enjoyed it though!
