I am feeling the love....

So I think it's time for a new contest! This time, YOU send ME your pictures! Send me pics of your sweet 'valentines'. A pic of your child/children with their valentine outfit on, a pic showing anything to do with LOVE or heck just eating Valentines candy! Be creative, make it fun. And since you all get to be the photograthers this time, here are some fun facts for taking great pictures :)

- Never use your on-camera flash. It is too harsh, especially on those sweet baby faces.
- Keep your shutter speed high or you will get a lot of blurry pictures.
-Try getting on their level - don't be afraid to lay down on your belly to get a great pic!

I will accept your entries until Feb 7th and will post my top 5 (if there are 5 - lol) at that time. E-mail me your files to: laurab@intheireyesphotography.com
Voting will take place until the 13th and the winner will be announced on Valentines Day! Winner will recieve a free session. If you have already booked and paid your session fee you will recieve your session fee as a print credit.

Good Luck to all!!!

A future model....

I have no doubt she will be signed by an agency! She is just as sweet as she is breathtaking, and a more cooperative 2 year old I have never met. I just hope Mom and Dad want another shoot sometime soon - she was such a joy to work with!!!

If you are an agency looking, please e-mail me and I will be sure to pass your information on to the parents of this little one...

I'm one!!!!!

I have been taking pics of this little one since he was born. I can't believe he is one already! Here are some pics from his shoot - I will post more of him next week when I have a chance....

See if you can find the picture where he is telling everyone how old he is! ;)

Luckily she will be 6 ALL year - lol...

Well - we went back to the beach on what we expected to be another warm day. Except it turned out to be really cold at the beach! So we had a very QUICK session again for her b-day pics. We will have to go back when it gets a bit warmer. Maybe at the end of next month? I am OK with not having pictures EXACTLY on her b-day. Why do we all obsess with that anyway? The way I look at it, unless it is the first year, the kids do not change a ton in two months. Why not wait on pictures until you have the weather you want? Gotta make it work! I will admit, it took me years before I let go. But looking back I laugh. I could have had all these amazing spring pictures of her instead! Anyway - I am babbling... Here are a few more pictures of my baby girl. I just love her to pieces.

First session of the New Year!

How lucky was I to walk in to this beauty of a subject? What a great first session! Wonderful family, and a little girl as sweet as any I have ever met. And such a stunner. Dad is going to have to watch out when she gets older!

A much awaited session for my daughter...

First I want to appologize that my blog has been neglected. As some or most of you know I took all of December and most of January off. I needed to be able to handle the craziness of Christmas, and my daughters b-day is this month. Between the two and being a full time Mom I just didnt feel I could give my clients the attention they deserve during this time. But I should be back in full swing soon! Well, I took my daughter for a pre-birthday session. I didnt have her outfit this time around, but it was such a nice day I just couldnt keep myself from picking up my camera! I just love the cool feel of the beach in the winter. There is something so calming and beautiful about it. So here are some of her practice birthday pictures. And one of my son (who was less than cooperative that day - but cute none-the-less!).

Merry Christmas to me - I got a new niece!!!!

My baby brother and his wife were kind enough to bless our family with a baby this Christmas - she was born on Christmas morning! I was lucky enough to be able to take some newborn pics of her. I am sure I will have lots more to share over the years, but here is her debut...
