How can anyone resist this smile?!

Remember this little fella from a few months ago?
I took some 7 month photos of him today. He has changed so much! His eyes have gotten really dark and his hair has gotten really light! Here’s one quick one I finished editing. More to come soon!
What a nice treat on a cold, wet day. My canvas arrived! Last week I asked for everyone to tell me which photo they thought I should get printed for my new canvas. It was about almost half and half. A lot of people really liked the more candid one the best. However, after a lot of thought I decided to go with this one:
I really love it! I was surprised at how big it was–I was thinking it was the same size as the one I already had over the mantle but when I pulled it out of the box it blew me away! It’s huge but I love it!
I loved the other photo so much but I liked that I could see Annagrace’s face better in this one. But I think I’m going to have the other one printed in maybe an 11×14 or a 16×20 and hang it up their bedroom.
Thanks for giving me your feedback! And if anyone is interested in a beautiful peice of canvas art for their walls–give me a call!
I was working on the Lopez wedding pictures tonight and Madalyn came in the room, looked at the computer screen and said, “Mommy! They’re happily ever after!”. So sweet!
While editing, I came across this little gem:
Queue the music! I can hear, “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” playing. Oh, no wait! Now it’s “Endless Love.” LOL! Love that photo SO much!
Sorry I don’t have more for tonight. My finger is becoming quite painful and I’m going to bed. It’s getting hard to type–horror of horrors if I can’t blog tomorrow! : )
Just one more of this super cute family!
Can ya believe that this mama doesn’t think she’s photogenic?! I think she’s adorable! : )
Here are a few quick photos from a session from this afternoon! I met Myra several years ago at a Creative Memories retreat (she is the sister-in-law of my friend, Heather). Then when we moved four years ago I found out that her oldest daughter, Alannah, is best friends with our neighbor’s daughter. So I see her often at our neighbor’s Longaberger parties and birthday parties! She asked me a few months ago to take some Fall photos of her family and I think we got them taken just in time because the fall foliage is just about gone!
Her kids are absolutely adorable and were very well behaved! I learn a lot about kids when I take their photos. It didn’t take me long to pick up on the fact that Maran is the silly, somewhat sassy twin and Lauren is the more quiet one! But they were all great and were little troopers in the 50 degree weather!
So without further ado, here are a few sneak peek photos!
This one jumped out at me immediately! Of course, I’m always a fan of the more spontaneous photos!
And here is one with big brother, Zachary who is quite the gentleman and is very photogenic! I can’t wait to get the individual photos proofed–I got some great ones of that handsome boy!
And one more of the whole clan!
Myra and Paul–you have such a beautiful family! Thanks for asking me to take your family portraits and I hope you like them! I can’t wait to work on the rest of them!
Thanks for everyone’s two cents worth on my last post! After much thinking (and bugging Aaron about it) I decided on a photo for my canvas. When it comes, I’ll post a photo of it…so you’ll just have to wait and see which one I got! : ) I’m super excited!
Here is another photo from yesterday. Annagrace has always been a good model for me. I can always depend on her to sit still and smile for me although sometimes her smiles are pretty fake. This is a true honest to goodness Annagrace smile, dimples and all! (If Aaron had been with me I would have taken more time and would have made sure her hair was brushed!)
So I have a great coupon for a canvas company that I’ve been wanting to try and I have to order the canvas by TOMORROW! Way to wait until the last minute, right? I really want to take advantage of this. So I have a couple of photos in mind but I’m not sure which one to go with. I have a few that I took today and have two that I need to decide between. Depending on the price, I am also thinking about getting one of our family photo that we took at the beach this summer (see under my About Me section to see that photo). I can get 30% off of up to 3 canvases!
Here are the two that I need to decide between. PLEASE leave me a comment and let me know which one you think I should get. If you like one more than the other, tell me why. Or if you think they both are terrible, tell me that too! I need to tweak the colors in both photos (the second one is a little red now that I look at it again!) but you get the idea!
This is numero uno:
And here is number two:
What do you think? Even if you’ve never commented on my blog before, please let me know your vote!
Here’s one more that I’m getting printed (not on canvas though) probably as an 8×10:
