Baby Oliver - Christmas | Warner Robins photographer

 WARNING: CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!

This was such a fun photoshoot!  The cuteness was almost too much to handle.  But we managed to compose ourselves and ended up with some amazing shots of this adorable little dude.  I think every baby should have some great Christmas shots like this to add to their baby book!

Cutie Patootie!

 Just like dad...

 ...in daddy's hat and shoes!

Once there was a Snowman...

Edvarchuk Family | Warner Robins photographer

 This family is so stinkin' adorable!

I fell in love with them as soon as I met them and have been grateful for their friendship.  And they even trusted me to take their family photos!  I really do love interaction photos.  Especially when you get a cute series of photos that almost tell a story as they flow from picture to picture.  Taking photos with a toddler has to be flexible like that anyway.  So here are the Edvarchuks and their absolutely adorable and hilarious little girl!

We got lucky and found this cotton field that had not yet been harvested. So we quickly turned our cars around and made great use of it!  I adore cotton field photos here in the south.

At the big ditch coming out of the cotton field, she says to her daddy, "I'll catch you!"

It doesn't get much sweeter than that.

 I am a sucker for red-heads.  

This little dude had a special spot in my heart with that head full of red hair and a heart full of love.  Poor guy is the only boy in a family full of sisters!  So we'll make him the spotlight here at the top of this post.  Regardless of hair color, though, it is always a privilege to work with children.  Their innocence and enthusiasm for life is so infectious and I love to try and capture it on camera.  So here is the Kingsley family and all 5 of their children at the time (Nov 2013).  I believe they now have 6. :)

Teen Girls | Warner Robins photographer

A lot of my early photoshoot practice was through giving volunteer service at church.  This is a photoshoot I did for the "Young Women" group at church--teenage girls ages 12-18.  It was during their weekday activity night and so I had to work against the clock in a race to beat the fading light that evening.  I was mostly successful.  You can tell which ones are grainy as the light got dimmer.  And for the girls that weren't there on the original night, I took their photos after church one Sunday, and you can tell comparatively how much the lighting was improved.  Regardless of lighting issues, it was so much fun to work with this girls!  They really worked their magic in front of the camera and I enjoyed being able to work one on one to pull out each of their personalities when it was their turn.  It was also fun trying to get creative with the limited location of the church grounds and any fun prop we could find there.  Like this velvet chair we carried outside to use.  And the frame borrowed from a friend was pretty cool.  But some of my favorite photos are just head shots of these girls' beautiful faces and the glow of goodness shining through their eyes.  I'm so proud of these young ladies and their courage to find and be the good in the world!  I will gladly take their pictures anytime!
