Fall (Children’s) Portraits

It’s important to take pictures of the kids – they seem to grow and change so fast! It’s not the first time I’ve shot the children below (and it better not be the last) and I can’t help but think how much they have changed while I look the exact same a year later!?!?!?! LOL Always a pleasure to have these families in front of my lens…..

Quinn – 1 year

You need to be on your ‘A’ game to keep up with this guy! Quinn was all over the park, running, crawling, climbing, and eating what he could find – HILARIOUS! So glad he managed to freeze long enough for a good shot icon smile Quinn   1 year His older brother, although not nearly as busy is equally as cute. It’s always a pleasure to capture these sorts of childhood moments.

He’s One

Time flies. It never ceases to amaze me how much children grow and change in the first year. Love all his expressions but him smiling on Dad’s shoulders is priceless!

a little mischievous here I think

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!

Newborn Twin Sisters

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!
