Baby Makes Five

It was more than a pleasure meeting this family.  I'll never forget this session.  They literally took me back a year ago when my youngest was born.  The ages differences between these three are the same as mine.  More importantly though, I really liked them. :)













Might be my favorite from the session.

Finally it was time for baby's big debut!

In the beginning she had no interest in sleeping.
I swear this is a grin!










She was  JUST  SO  SWEET.

Pacer's Fan

When I received a call from someone who knew someone, who knew my husband who happened to mention what I did one time, it all seemed surreal that this might actually come together... but it did.  A gentleman wanted his senior photos done at Banker's Life Fieldhouse (how awesomely creative of him!) and his grandma made some phone calls and made it happen.  I made sure I was available to get the job ;).  Apparently it's not all THAT hard to have a session like this... I guess we never know what can happen unless we try!  

If you know my sports obsessed husband, YES he was insanely irked that he couldn't go along (and bring our children...WHAT?!)... but he got over it.  He's working on getting the family there as soon as he can.  :)  I'm not at all sports obsessed.  For me, it's all about capturing people inside and out, and this kid is a HUGE Pacer's fan.  Furthermore, arena's and stadium's are all great architectural structures, what photographer wouldn't get excited about shooting at one?  For these reasons, I enjoyed it thoroughly.













His Grandma (the one who made the session happen for him) and him... lucky kid.

Lovelies

All of this mom's children are lovely... as copied from the internet: lovely - having a beauty that appeals to the heart or mind as well as to the eye, as a person or a face.  Here's two of her three that were due for their benchmark photos.  It wasn't easy to choose, but my daughter kindly picked out her favorites for me ;)





My favorite.

Fluffing her hair!
Posing perfectly at the ripe old age of THREE!  Not typical!



I embarrassed him!
I love this face.



This photo is how I see this boy!
