day 295: the beginning and the end

subject: holiday portraits
why? Apart of my beginning and end series, the first photo I took in this session and the last photo I took. I always like to try and get a picture of mom and dad alone. Because how often do you (as a parent) get a picture of the one you married. After all, you are always so buys getting pictures of your kiddo's.  I should swap these photos to show the before- the couple... and the after.... what they created... You can see how the little guy resembles them both.

not bad for the first picture of the day...

mom and dad sure look great

day 294: beginning and the end

subject: family portraits
why? I am sure you think I have been slacking on my posts but really I have been truly blessed with a lot of work. I have been photographing many families for their holiday portraits. It has been fun. And a lot of work, I have probably taken close to 5000 photos in less than a months time. I thought it would be fun to do a series on the FIRST and LAST photo of each session. The FIRST= BEFORE and the LAST= AFTER. And maybe I will share with you a few of my favorite photos in between.

the first photo, almost every one is ready to go!

the last photo, the kiddo's got a bit distracted....
