A New Son

Posted on November 8, 2009

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

Posted on November 5, 2009

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! ;)

I love my new wide angle lens. It’s terrific for ‘lifestyle’ sessions and interior shots….

The Twins are One

Posted on October 17, 2009

Remember these two?

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.

I know what you’re thinking – this is a good-looking group.. they are, but they are also great sports and a darn nice bunch of siblings. Thanks guys – I love the results from our shoot. Hopefully you feel the same! :)

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

Posted on May 18, 2009

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!

Newborn Twin Sisters

Posted on May 6, 2009

13 days fresh. So tiny and sleepy and perfect. Thanks Dad for being a good sport and Mom for letting us just ‘do our thing’. Your girls are beautiful blessings in every way and I loved the time I got to share with them!

Newborn Twins

Posted on November 22, 2008

What a wonderful session this was. These tiny babes were perfect. We were able to get lots of great images! I’m so glad I took along my friend Christina to help out, could not have gotten some of these poses without her! Another huge thanks to our babies parents for trusting us to ‘do our thing’, it worked out wonderfully…

Two Sisters

Posted on October 6, 2008

Not all photo sessions are created equal. We tried all the tricks, but Lydia just did not appreciate being without clothing or her soother. But that’s okay, because we did still capture the things that matter, like the adoring big sister and loving mom. You aren’t doing too bad if you’ve only been around for 11 days and you already have a bunch of people loving you and tending to your every need. ;)

Last month, I had the pleasure of meeting this family in a local park. This little guy is so cute (note his eyelashes!)  .. and so loved. But I’m sure you can tell :)
