This was such a fun senior session to photograph (there were three seniors on this day so you will see the other two photographed on the blog soon also!) Thank goodness we had gorgeous weather – so much planning went into this session(finding a canoe, etc) And it was amazing how heavy it was to carry a canoe all the way to the lake, etc. We ended up getting extra help to carry it back to the car afterwards. (You can see a picture on instagram here) And the light was just STUNNING. While everyone was carrying the canoe, I convinced the girls to stop for like three seconds and capture the breathtaking light (see the second to last image at the bottom! eeeeek!!!! I heart sunset) This session was definitely an adventure – I love the unique location and the variety of backgrounds we were able to use.

According to the Senior….

What was your favorite part of the session? The location was by far my favorite part of the session. This location was very unique and I don’t think any other seniors will have pictures quite like mine. This location had a free people, anthropologie vibe going for it and made the entire session very whimsical.

How did you pick your wardrobe? Where did you shop for the session? I wanted my session to reflect me well so I tried to pick clothes that I would wear regularly. I also had my best friend help me pick out outfits as well as her mom because they are much more fashionable than I am.

Were you nervous about the session beforehand? I was slightly nervous having never had professional pictures taken of me before. However, all of my nerves were eased within a few minutes of meeting my lovely photographer.

What does this session convey about your style/personality? This session truly conveys my optimism for life and my love for nature. There is one picture in particular that captures a moment where I look so naturally blissful. This session connected the artsy aspects of my personality with my studious aspects and characterized my entire high school existence.

What advice can you give to other seniors preparing for their Senior Portraits? Practice how you are going to smile and plan your outfits in advance. You will not regret being over prepared however you most likely will regret being underprepared. Bring lots of clothing options!

Yesterday morning was such a sweet session at home…especially since the little one had not napped but was in such a great mood for her one year portraits with her sister. They giggled and giggled. I especially loved big sister’s pink dinosaur necklace – so cute! We did make dinosaur noises, and I also got to hear some wonderful music on the piano (more pictures to come soon!) You know I have to check the weather constantly for my job, and it’s ALWAYS changing so I was a little unsure of how it was going to be yesterday. It ended up being beautiful in the morning, and we were also able to take some photos outside, too! (More photos of that soon, too HA!) but for now, a preview of these two adorable little ones!

I have a lot of blogging to catch up on starting with this sweet family newborn session at home where big brother totally stole the show. He was so adorable and happy to show me around and show off his baby brother who was just so precious and content the entire session. When I arrived at their home, oh my, the ivy in their backyard was just gorgeous! Loved every image from this session and meeting this sweet family!

According to Mom…

What was the first thing you thought when you saw your baby for the first time? Relieved. He was born by emergency c section and I was just so happy to see him blink and hear him breathe.

What was your favorite part of our session? I love having pictures of the family at home in our normal/comfortable environment. And it’s just so much easier to manage a newborn and toddler at home with their own toys.

How did you prepare the baby for our photoshoot? No prep was required, which is absolutely the very best part. Becky showed up and worked around the mood/vibe/enthusiasm.

How was your experience having your newborn photographed? Were you nervous or worried before? I was nervous before, since you’re making a big investment you want to get a good outcome but Becky was great with our older son and put me at ease by reassuring me that there was no rush and she would work with us. No rush, no pressure, exactly what you want.

What would be your advice to someone getting newborn photographs taken? Try to relax and enjoy the fun. Also, try to think of special items/locations/outfits that you want to have in the pictures.

Did you have a sentimental item at our session? We had a rocking chair in a few pictures that was handmade and has been passed down for 3 generations.

Do you have other children? How did they react to the baby? Our older son has reacted well to the new baby. No cute stories yet, hoping to have many in the future.

How would you describe your perfect Saturday as a family? A hike, a picnic and then a good long nap for everyone.:)

Any advice to other families picking our wardrobe or preparing for family portraits? When our first son was born I was just wearing yoga pants and a t shirt, this time I put a little more thought and just tried to find something comfortable and simple.

I am still going through all of these beautiful Mommy baby sessions and blogging them. What a special event this was with so many sweet families. So thankful for all of Ericka with Little Apple Styles help with the styling during the mini sessions. (We just released information about our next event August 1st! There are still a few spots left – contact me for more information and you can sign up for the newsletter here to stay informed about future events. A lot of thought and work has been put into this event, and it’s going to be sooooo cute! Definitely one you will not want to miss!)

According to Mom…

What was your favorite part of the 2015 Limited Edition Mini Sessions? The setting was absolutely gorgeous! I love that my husband was trying everything to get our son to smile for the photos, even if it included dancing and jumping while playing our little one’s musical toys! It definitely worked!

Was it fun having a stylist at the event? It was really fun! Ericka is AMAZING and the flower crowns were so beautiful!

Tell me about the outfits you wore to the session. I wanted to wear a simple white dress so it would go with any of the flower crowns, and my son was wearing an outfit given to him as a present from France.

Were you worried about any parts of the session beforehand? I was worried about the rain (but it held out thankfully), and also if little one would be cooperative since he was sick, but he was all smiles and the pictures turned out great!
