The Imus Family – 2010

August 26th, 2010

It’s official! The Imus family are my oldest clients. This is the 5th year I have shot their family session. It’s crazy to me that their youngest daughter, Kendall, was younger than Brayden when I started shooting their family. Now she’s a big first grader! I love how both of the girls are always so excited to see me and how they call me “Mrs Drew”. It’s really a special thing to get to capture a family growing year after year. I just love it!

However, it does get hard trying to find a unique location each year! Especially now that Jen is a photographer I know that she’ll be up for getting chased by the cops anything! That makes it even more fun!

Jen, Ron, Sydney, and Kendall – Thank you SO much for sticking by me and believing in me all of these years. I can’t even tell you how much your support has meant to me.  I really look forward to the time I get to spend with you all!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  Here’s your slideshow!

Sydney is so great in front of the camera.  She’s always followed direction so well!

These girls are literally turning into teenagers right in front of my eyes.  They both picked out their outfits.  So stylish!

This was the first year that I really felt I captured Kendall so relaxed.  She’s always been a little hesitant and distracted in front of the camera.  She would rather talk to me and go explore rather than posing in front of the camera.  You can tell she’s really growing up!

Jen and Ron were such great sports.  The only hesitated for a second when I told them to climb on top of this giant bike :)

Payne Family at the Fair

August 10th, 2010

I’ve always wanted to do a shoot at the fair so they Payne family were kind enough to let me shoot them there. I knew it would be crowded, but I didn’t know that I would pick the day with record breaking attendance. Seriously, I read it in the paper. Busiest day ever!  Just my luck!

We rode some rides, played some games, ate some yummy food. It was good times. Love the fair!

Baby Jayden

August 2nd, 2010

When Baby Jayden’s Aunt Shannon (a friend from college and a very talented florist) contacted me asking me to shoot her niece’s newborn pictures I was a bit hesitant.  Jayden was close to 3 weeks old and I’ve had some bad experiences with older newborns.  But, they convinced me it would be fine since Jayden was born 3 weeks early and still slept all the time.

Well, Jayden didn’t sleep quite as much as we would have liked, but with a lot of patience we were able to make it work :)  I think she just wanted to hang out with us and didn’t want to miss out on all of the girl talk!

I’m excited to be shooting this cute little girl two more times in the next year!  It’s so exciting to be able to watch kids grow and see how much they change!

PS  If you are interested in booking a newborn session, please do so before your baby is born!  I know that sounds funny as you don’t know exactly when your baby will be born.  But, this allows me to keep my schedule open around your due date so I can be able to fit you in.  To ensure the best newborn pictures it is important that we take the pictures as close to your baby’s birthday as possible (within the first 10 days is ideal!).
