Mother of the Bride
Both of these lovely ladies were remarkably calm, considering we were standing at the ‘Ten Second ’til Lift Off’ hour. Of course they both fell to pieces when the dress went on.

Wedding Guests
This wedding was held in an old Hunting Lodge (American translation: Medieval Castle) once used by Henry VIII. These two little ones may or may not have been after the hoard of chocolate covered strawberries that lay on the other side of the door.

Valentines Day
A photo left over from Valentines Day. And a really special one at that. The first time she had ever sat up on her own. Her mother was holding her back and decided to try easing her hand away. We caught the whole balancing act on film.

Cuddle
It started out as a photo session for the baby. But dad worried he was too upset so he stepped in to give him a cuddle. Mom thought it was sweet and stepped in to give Dad a cuddle and there we are.

House Guest
This little darling belongs to a dear friend of mine and she’s quickly becoming the best baby model ever. I have tons of images of the now Six Month Old, and if her mother gives me permission, will post more of them in the days ahead.

Splish Splash
We’ve done ‘destination weddings’. Crossed country lines and oceans to photograph that special day. This was our first ‘destination vacation’. The bathing beauty above is one of a handful of muses I just mentioned. I have images coming out of my ears of her and her siblings and I love every single one. Every now and then you have kids who wont smile for the camera. Lucky for us, this kid smiles all the time. So getting great shots is always easy.

Muse. Or Two.
Clearly we have a muse. Or two. We bribe them with chocolate and cookies and they make our portfolio look pretty. Note: Chocolate and cookies and sugar in general are great for getting excellent action shots. We find it works best with girls. On boys, it just tends to send them over the edge. At least it did with their brother. Who was busy running circles around the studio lights and throwing sticks at the sun.

Egypt in England
One of us is obsessed with Egyptology and can tell you all the when, where and what there is to know about these two objects. The other can only say that these are Ancient Egyptian artifacts found in the British Museum in London. A place the both of us like very much.
