Akron Senior Pictures {B’s Sneak Peek}

When a senior walks in the studio, I can never be sure how comfortable she’ll be with having her photo taken.  When {B} told me that she wants to become an actress, I had a feeling it was going to be a good session.  {B} did not disappoint.  Check out this gorgeousness…

Her eyes are just striking.

Rawr!

Thanks {B}.  You are beautiful!  Good luck with all your aspirations.

Once Upon a Time…

…there was a little girl and a little boy who turned one.  They were betrothed to be married however little {C} wasn’t so sure about the idea.

But after some drinks, he warmed up a bit.

I couldn’t resist.  :)

You may recall Little Miss {M} here is Dave’s granddaughter.  She and this little guy shared a birthday party last weekend.  There have been four babies born in 2009 amongst their friends.  Here they are with one big brother {L}.  Have you ever put five kids (four being age one and under) in one photograph?  You can’t imagine the sweat that was involved here.

Below is a compilation of four different photographs of the cuties.  Dave shot most of these while I pulled out my tricks.  {Basically making a fool of myself, doing anything I can to make a one year old smile.}

All five breathed a sigh of relief when the mommies jumped in.  Aren’t they a beautiful bunch?  And this is after the photo workout.

You might remember this little guy from here…look how he’s grown!

Little {I} is no stranger to the blog either.  See her here.

Loved this shot of {L} with his mommy.

And now for the families:

Not a bad looking group, huh?

Akron/Cleveland Children’s Photographer {K & L’s Sneak Peek}

Sometimes life is just not fair.  Everyday I get up, wash, blow dry, brush, straighten, spray, and smooth.  Yet, still, my hair doesn’t look as cute as Miss {K’s}.  This little thing was born with GREAT hair.  It’s poker straight…thick…perfect.  She can run around for an hour stop and shake her head, and it’s right back to a Pantene commercial.  {And she’s only four.}

And her brother is not so bad looking himself.  :)  Little {L} was not a huge fan of a photo session but with a few tricks we ended up with some great shots.

Neither was a big fan of my stools.  :(

But, it wasn’t anything a couple packs of Gushers couldn’t solve.

And…it’s a good thing Gushers did the trick since they coordinate perfectly with their green and blue.

My New Love…

I am in love with one of our new custom products for 2010.  These are gorgeous.  The Image Portfolio Box is one of the most elegant photo display options I’ve ever seen.

I think my favorite aspect is the versatility.  Swap these matted photos in various frames or easels for a display that never gets old.  {Plus the box looks awesome on your coffee table.}

They’re perfect for engagement sessions, family & child sessions, maternity, boudoir and even a great wedding album alternative.

Akron/Canton Baby Photography {I’s Sneak Peek}

Little {I} was the sweetest little thing and I think I know where she got it.  Her parents have been so patient waiting for this sneak peek!  With the Janie & Jack shoot and a few others…somehow this poor little girl had to wait.  Thanks {S} Family for your patience.  She is precious.

See…I told you she was sweet.

…and happy…

O.K.  Get ready for this.  I am in love with these next two.

Look at those toes!

Thanks again {S} family.  Give her lots of kisses for me.

Legacy Village Janie & Jack II {Cleveland Children’s Photographer}

Did you see the first post?  If not check it out here.

I have been going through images all day.  I think you’ll agree these kids are just adorable but they were all as sweet as can be as well.  I am so lucky to have a job where I get to meet kiddos like these.

How precious is this?

A big shout out to this last little girl’s brothers.  She came in with her mom, dad, and three brothers.  Those three (all five and under!) were so polite and sweet the entire time she was getting her pictures taken.  She’s a lucky girl to have these three looking out for her.

Thanks again to all the parents!  I am looking forward to meeting with all of you again.

Gabby’s Corner {What to Wear?}

Hello all!   Contrary to the last “What to Wear?” post, this time I’m focusing on a calmer look.  I found these awesome styles at http://www.gap.com/.   These neutral colors are simple and easy to coordinate.   I hope these ideas help inspire your family.

{All images will link to gap.com for online purchasing.  All images are copyrighted by gap.com.}

The combination of the tough jacket and slender jeans creates a modern look that is pretty and practical.  (=

This sweater paired with the “cadet khaki” pants is a great simple look.  Tie in the green jacket if you want a more layered feel.

These green Capri’s matched with a cute sweater shows a softer side of the army theme for a little girl .  Also, these leather sandals complete the comfy and stylish outfit.  (=

Outfit number two for a little girl is a little less sweet and has a slight edge to it.  The interesting design on the bermuda shorts will stand out with the plain tee and will go perfectly with these slip on  converse.

These aviator pants are perfect for a little boy.  Choose a shade of gray for the shirt and you’re done! It’s that simple!

Another way to go could be tan pants and  navy blue or green shirts to tie in with the rest of the family. =)

I hope you like my ideas!

Peace.

Merry Christmas!

With all my heart I truly hope your Christmas is full of joy, peace, and love.  Heritage Studio and Gallery will be closed for the holidays until January 4th.  We will still be taking calls and checking e-mail, but I may get back to you a little slower than usual.  I will be doing a lot of this the next two weeks:

As I prepare for Christmas and all the joy it brings I have been reminded lately of those who may not be having such a Merry Christmas this year.  Please keep the following in your prayers:

• {A} a 16 year old who has had terrible complications following the flu causing a heart attack and the need for surgery on her lungs and heart
• The family of the NILMDTS session I did last week.  Their precious little boy only lived a few minutes and I can’t imagine facing the season after that.
• An family from church who found out Monday that their daughter’s cancer, AML M5 (acute myeloid leukemia, subtype M5) has returned.  She had surgery today that went well but a long road ahead of her as chemo begins again.

Take care this week.  Take lots of photos and eat a ridiculous amount of chocolate. (It doesn’t count right around Christmas…magical calories or something.)

With Lots of Love,

Amy
