Vintage Photo Shoot

We had an absolute blast during one of our latest and newest "Vintage" photo shoots. You'll probably notice 3 of the models, Michael, Matthew & Genesis, but we were fortunate enough to get to work with two new cuties, Miss Jada and Miss Paris. We let the kids rummage thru grandma's trunk of goodies and play dress up, and as you can tell they were all right at home !

A word from the studio.....

It's been a while since I've updated the blog.... so, my many apologies for that. The holidays were hectic, and we decided to take a little breather to spend some time with the families. Speaking of.... I've also included some bragging pics of them below, so feel free to ooohh and awwww. While you're here, take a look at the new blog entries below and watch for more to come. You'll see new babies, weddings, and lots of cute kids from local preschools in the area. That and much much more to come... Stay tuned... and check out our beautiful families. Oh yeah, and don't forget to spread the word about Captured Moments Photography!

My Baby Boy turns 6 AND goes to Kindergarten....

Do you remember how you felt when people would talk about their children getting older and how old it made them feel ? Now... do you remember thinking.. what the heck are they talking about ? THEN.... 10 - 12 years later it hits you and hits you HARD. It hit me today. Michael turned six and as I watched him walk into his school for the first time without MOM.... I cried. Partly because he is my baby boy... but partly because I remember doing the same thing. It seems like yesterday that I made the walk into kindergarten, with all the new faces, new colorful posters, new smells (crayons, disinfectant and new paper....) Fast Forward... and I am meeting my sons for the first time ages 2 & 3... and now he goes into kindergarten...and then I think to myself... I am getting old.

Beach Photos

I think the hardest pictures to take are the ones that include yourself. Take a good look, because this is a rare opportunity to see the photographer in front of the camera, as opposed to behind it. Our vacation was nice, but as always too short. This was Gigi's first time at the ocean, so it was a little special for us. You always have this perfect image in your head of how your child's first time at the ocean is... and never ends up the way you have it planned out. She loved the ocean (as long as we were holding her by the arms yelling "Whee.....", which of course made the arm muscles sore by the time the week was out), but hated the sand. The boys learned how to boogie board for the first time. Matthew of course was a natural... and Michael... might have had more fun shopping .

Location Shoot: Brothers

A brother's love is never ending and these two are pure joy. Although different, as night & day, where one is, you'll find the other. Matthew, small, handsome and full of energy had to see his picture after every shot. Michael, however the beautiful charmer, portrayed the professional model and would wait until I posed him for a different shot, and then would ask if he looked ok. I loved the traditional white crisp oxford shirts against the natural background. And those beautiful blue eyes, grins and dimples speak for themselves...

Michael the professional...

Matthew the heartbreaker.....

I LOVE this shot. Both boys kind of just fell in place for me. My favorite aspect of this photo is the crisp detail of the blades of the grass.
