Introducing: Baby Clara

Kelly — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 23:37:01 +0000

This is just a brief introduction to my cousin’s sweet new baby. We’ll do a full shoot next week, but she is just too precious not to share. Best part? This first picture was actually taken by Addison. The only way I could convince Addison we weren’t going to touch the brand new 3 day old baby was to give her a camera with an 85mm lens and let her take pictures with mom. I love to see her view of the world. Welcome to the family Baby Clara.

Here is Addison checking her work.

Sundquist Thursday: Seeley’s First Month

Rylee — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 13:30:18 +0000

So rewind from last week’s photos of Seeley. I did manage to document a few snippets of his first month, but I must beg you to look at these images knowing the following – I was suffering from the bleary-eyed, zombie brained fog that comes with the regimen of no sleep and early nursing. I usually didn’t have an opportunity to photograph Thing 2 until Thing 1 was in bed which equals dark and grainy photos, but let’s call them “photojournalistic” and “emotional” and “inspired by 19th century realist painting” rather than dark and grainy.

Sundquist Thursday: Seeley

Kelly — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:36:41 +0000

Look at that sweet old man face. Simply adorable. When Rylee was visiting the other day we thought it would be a good idea to get a few updated shots of Seeley. He’s suffering from second child syndrome. Meaning, of course, 80% less photo capturing of every moment as the first born. Sad, but true. Take heart my cute little blue-eyed man, you already have more photos of yourself at 4 months than I do of my entire childhood. That has got to count for something.

Baby Seeley: 10 days new

Kelly — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 20:24:54 +0000

There is nothing much more life altering than a new baby in the mix. New baby plus a 19 month old and you’ve got yourself a plate full of fun with a side of happy but exhausted. Rylee, David & Nadia grew their family to four when baby Seeley was born back in September (you can see that arrival here.) Three years isn’t so long that I have forgotten what the first few days, let alone weeks, are like when you are regrouping and adjusting life around your new normal. Rylee is a champ and is pretty much setting the bench for mother’s everywhere. Don’t worry Nadia, I know the wait might feel long, but before you know it your playmate will be up to speed and chasing you around, pulling your hair and tormenting you in proper little brother fashion. Baby Seeley: Ready, set, grow.

I love this one. Nadia has clearly decided the invasion is completely Rylee’s fault.

Kisses.

Holiday mini sessions are already filling up so make sure to reserve your spot in plenty of time for Christmas cards!

Baby Lila: First Portrait Session

Kelly — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 15:59:37 +0000

Baby Lila was a super model for her first shoot. No diva moments or flamboyant demands for this girl. Just cute squishy cheeks, tiny toes and incredible sweetness.

Mirabelle: One year

Kelly — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 05:27:35 +0000

One year! I can hardly believe Mirabelle is one year old already. I enjoyed chasing her around in her home and following her down the road to enjoy some delicious gelato to celebrate a year of knowing one another. It was the perfect kind of party. Nothing says HURRAY! like Guinness flavored gelato. My dear sweet brown-eyed-girl you are beautiful, lovable and so very charming. I’ll let your parents decide who you take after. -K

Marley had had enough of Mirabelle getting all the attention. What a sad face he was sporting.

Simply wonderful. I’m hugely jealous that I don’t live within walking distance of this little slice of taste bud delight.

Here’s to another year of more adventures and moments shared.

Happy 1st Timur!

Kelly — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 05:22:22 +0000

After the crazy rush of birthday celebrations in our house the last few weeks I feel like I’m completely in birthday groove. Keep the parties coming! Timur’s first birthday was such a joy to attend. It was a celebration of family & friends surrounding the guest of honor, who happens to be the cutest little boy with the best head of hair you have ever seen. Thank you for opening your home and welcoming us warmly into your festivities.

I love, love, love this photo. The cake, the crown, the face. It is simply perfect.

A birthday party isn’t complete without friends to celebrate beside us. Timur is already set with and ready to conquer with this group of comrades.

Presentation is everything.

Manego Family Portraits

Rylee — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 19:15:08 +0000

Meet the Manegos! Lauren has great style – her furniture is mostly vintage and super gorgeous. I spent some of the time just thinking about the amazing carved mahogany side board, but I was their to photograph the family, so no furniture showcase.

Walston Family: Woodland Park

Kelly — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 13:00:41 +0000

Sunny day, boisterous 2 year old, curious 4 month old and two loving parents. Pretty much the perfect recipe for a day at the park.

This little man was ON THE MOVE! I’m feeling not just a little proud that every photo of him wasn’t blurred by his sheer speed. I do love the adventuring of a two year old out of doors.

This is my favorite kind of family portrait. Clearly not staged, interaction is happening and obvious sibling adoration shining thru.

He can only hope to be slowed down, but never contained. Of course he’s climbing the tree, that what’s trees are there for, right?
