Sisenero’s Captured…

August 31, 2010

What do you get when you combine a family of five kiddos under the age of 8 (four being boys), one ‘happy’ dog off his leash, and a venue with a great deal of “fun toys”  to play with? Well, if you’re ready for the chaos…you can get a great deal! What a fun session I had the other evening with this fabulous family. They chose the location, and I couldn’t be happier with their choice! I have photographed here years ago, but it is new and improved. Its a perfect spot for fun, somewhat edgy shots with lots of color and personality. Here’s a few individuals for you to peak at, “S” Family. As always, I can’t wait for you to see all of them!

The beautiful “Little Miss”…

And her “adorably handsome” brothers!

I was SO very tempted to show the outtakes of this session….hilarious! Right after the above picture was taken, I caught the “littlest Mr.” hitting his older brother on the head.  Its all on camera and pretty darn funny. Enjoy the color….

Doug & Ashley: Married.

August 21, 2010

I am so behind in my blogging of sessions. Forgiveness is a must at this point! I am so sorry… I shot this wedding back in June! It was an amazing California wedding. The family was fabulous….the company was superb…surroundings, perfection… and the amazingness of the whole night was magical. Doug and Ashley are SO FUN….and funny as well. They have a way about them that draws people in, makes them comfortable, and allows people to just love them. The guests ‘literally’ were still coming after the nights festivities were over. Steady stream of “well wishers” the entire time. Here’s just a little peak at their day….

And this just might be part of the reason they’re so cool! When you’re raised by and with people like this, how can you NOT be!

We headed over to this AMAZING Spanish Villa for pictures before the ceremony. There was so many different types of light going on here, and I loved playing! Beautiful!

Candles at beginning of night…with a little ring action…

Same Candles at end of night…with a little dessert action!

Candles and twinkle lights everywhere! Amazing summer wedding.

Cutest little kids ever running around everywhere! So many A-dorable nieces and nephews!

One set of the Amazing Mom and Pops…

You two are amazing! Best wishes for all that is to come!

I am working with so many amazing designers right now that I just don’t know what to do with myself. How will I ever use all  their amazing clothing in my shoots?! I love all of them and they each lend a unique characteristic and style to their lines. I’ve been working on 5 as we speak and I’m going to do a large post with a bit about each of them right now….so hold on to your seat. Cuteness overload begins now!

First up, Muchalinga! What a fun name.  It just sounds like fun, laughing kiddos to me! The brightness of Isabel’s fabrics, patterns and designs are so fun in photography.  She has great options for removable flowers and the “peasant dress” with those amazing little sleeves are so much fun! Check her etsy store out…too cute.

NEXT UP: Jessie Girls Clothing designed and owned by Vicki! SO CUTE! I adore the pettiskirt with the matching knitted scarf. It has the cutest little detailed flowers at the end of it. Perfect for Christmas pictures!  However, the amazing fall dress has so many fun textures and patterns it. Vicki has definately created a flair all of her own with this one. AND, and adorable perk, she sells the little shirt with the AMAZING flower cuffs as well. It goes perfect with the pettiskirt as well as the rest of her line. Click on her name to see her etsy store!

AND…I thought I’d throw this last one in for “funsies”. Its never easy working with wee little ones…getting them happy, to sit still so you don’t have a blurred image, metering correctly for their little fast moving hands, AND trying to do all this while you’re thinking about the million other things that go into a good, healthy, manually metered image that will portray your clients clothing line the way they’d like it portrayed. Here’s my little one basically telling me that if I say another word to her or tell her to stand right there and not to throw the ample amount of rocks around her one more time, she’s firing me as a mother. Its a bit blurry and not the best image as far as photography goes, but it makes me laugh out loud, and that’s priceless to me. Who knows, maybe it works as a “Christmas image….You better watch out, Santa claus is comin to town” type of feel!

Next: Kangacoo Designs

I’ve already done a spring post, but here is a peak at her fall line. Lush, thick amazing wintery fabrics, perfect for a little girlie girl! This wrap is amazing! And the little velour dress is so SO cute with its “bell” sleeves and big black bow!

Look at that lush pink fur…with the zebra stripes! Are you kidding me with how cute that is!

AND, last but not least, my new Australian friend, Mya from Purple Blossoms!  She has way too many cute dresses in her store right now. To me, this had “summer picnic” or “tea party” written all over it. ADORABLE! I shot these awhile ago of My Sage for her and forgot to get them up on my blog. SORRY MYA!

Here’s Sage trying to look like America’s Next To Model….Fierce Sage, fierce!

AND, a few with a vintage feel and look. Love it! Great for young girls, but pair them with a jean jacket and leggings and you’ve got yourself an “tween look”! Love it.

Kangacoo = Some of the cutest clothes I’ve seen! I’ve never seen a dress with ruffles on the back like this before…and it is A-dorable. Katie, owner and designer at Kangacoo has some of the cutest designs and fabric I’ve seen. I love her combinations. Again, details details details! The ties at the top are sturdy and the fabric is crisp and thick, but still soft. Rest assured, this little dress will be on my little lady a great deal. Check out her Etsy Store and stay tuned for her fall and winter lines as well. Lots of soft, deep rich fabrics!

Look at these details! Love sturdy fabric that’s still soft and bendable for little ones. Truly…this dress has it all!
