Lifestyle Portraiture

It has been far too long since my last post!  I'm attaching a few photos here of a beautiful two and a half year old, Indigo.  I had the opportunity to photograph her during my Major Portrait Markets class at CDIA this past week.  She was on-the-go for a good bit of time, but she finally settled into one spot and I got the chance to get some close-ups.

Getting down and dirty...

Making "chocolate chip cookies!"  Yum...

And now politely offering me some cookies!

*LOVE* this expression:

Flowers.

Close up to the action!

Hopefully it will not be so long till my next update.  I had the pleasure of photographing Jenny and Ben again today, this time with Jenny's sister Katie and her son, Jack.  Stay tuned for some images from that photo shoot!
