No Matter how many times I ask this question, the answer remains along the same lines ... "When is the last time you and your husband had a portrait done?" (awkward side glance, pursed lips) "Uummmmm ... At our Wedding ...????" The actual wording might change, but this is pretty accurate for about 90% of my families. Which makes it all the more important to me to make sure I take a few minutes (while the kids run amok) and get some photos of mom and dad, NOT being mom and dad! Years may have passed, appearance may have begun to change, but put Mom and Dad in that first pose and you can see their beginning all over again.
I love love love Birthdays. I have been known to declare myself a birthday week, and sometimes even a birthday month! This makes me extra blessed that I get to share these special days with my mini clients. Planning 1st Birthday sessions are fun for me because I get to be creative with my decor, make special pieces and build sets with my favorite props. For this birthday session with little Hank, I got to see him explore my Favorite Pumpkin patch, Borchard Farms in Salinas.
While we sit here in the middle of one of the biggest storms we Californians have seen in many years, I stare out the window and WISH it was already Summer again!! I am a huge fan of warm nights, bare feet, and golden sunsets, just not the 4:30pm ones! So while mother nature does her thing, I thought we should take a look back at the adorable Jensen's playing in the warm weather at the beach!
