The case of the cobbler's children having no shoes | Woodstock GA Children's Photography

Have you heard of the story of how the cobbler slogged day and night making shoes for everyone in the village? And how his own children ran about barefoot ? My kids are sort of in the same boat. Before you run out and buy them shoes for Christmas though, hear me out. They do have shoes. LOTS of shoes! Atleast my 6yo does (she has more than I do atleast). My 1yo isn't walking yet and the pediatrician says, socked feet are best for learning balance. So he has just one pair that we put on, on his birthday. He didn't like them one bit !  So, if you see them running around sans shoes, rest assured its for a very good reason, and dearth of shoes has nothing to do with it. Plus, I'm not a cobbler.

So, my analogy of shoes actually, applies to photography. I was done with client shoots and delivering edited sessions 2 weeks ago. And then I realized I hadn't ordered Christmas cards for our family and friends! Not to mention, we had NO pictures that we could use on them ! Well, nothing "christmasy" atleast unless you count the iphone pictures taken by Mr Miraz Light At Work Photography.

So I finally got my act together and did a mini session. These were shot on a cold rainy day so they were taken indoors. It would have been nice to have done them outdoors but see above for the case of the cobbler's kids. And I did want my kids to have pictures done this year. Something's better than nothing right ? And I made it a point to be in front of the lens for a change. I do want my kids to have pictures of me to look back upon.
Here are a few of my favorites.

She had received this outfit earlier this year from a grandparent. While its two sizes too big, she thought it was festive enough for pictures. Plus tts rare that she likes anything pink so I shot away ...

We have nicknamed my little guy The Duracell bunny. He's always on the go ! His favorite pose to sit in, is this. And he sat that way for only 6-7 seconds.

Babies and toddlers really don't need any toys. He's always content playing with my pots and pans and spoons.

I love this picture (yes thats me!) because I have a 2013 picture of me with my sweet little girl ! Memories for me to pass on to her !

You can find the remaining session images, including a cute naked baby butt here. Go check it out !

PS: I love MCP actions for my indoor highkey images. They make my white background pop !

Pickard Family | Marietta Family Portrait Session

This was the first time I had the opportunity of taking pictures of this sweet family. They bid on a gift voucher (and won !!)  I had donated to my little girl's school for their scholarship auction.

Below are a few of my favorite sneak peaks from the session. You can find the complete gallery here 

Happy Easter & Easter Session Sneak Peek - Miss J

I thought it would be fitting to do post a few of my favorites today from an  easter session done last month

I really loved shooting this session. Little Miss J was a talker. She was hesitant at  first for a couple of pictures and I had to guide her with posing as you can see here

However, she warmed up very quickly and I didn't have to do much after that ! She was all laughter and giggles throughout the session.

A little bit of spunk ...

I had to ask her to be serious. And this is the best of her "serious" face I got.
