It’s bee wonderful getting to know this sweet family since I met them for their maternity session over a year ago. Emmalyn made her arrival and I went back to their home for her newborn portraits and she was one of the sweetest, easiest babies I had photographed. I had so much fun putting her in baskets and bowls while she slept. Now Emmalyn is one year old and is just as sweet as ever, just like she was when I first met her at her newborn session.
Thanks again “L” family!!
One of the many things I love about where I live is that I grew up in this area as a child. A lot of the people I went to school with, like me, still live here. Peter and I knew each other from elementary ages… we swam on the swim team together and he and my brother were good friends and still are. He met his beautiful wife Karen, six years ago and they are just so adorable and happy together. I was thrilled to photograph them on their anniversary. We had so much fun and they really made the session enjoyable. I loved how they weren’t afraid to be silly in front of the camera and just went with the flow. It made for some great portraits!
Thanks again Karen and Pete!
I can’t believe these two are 1 year old. I have had the honor of documenting Leah and Lucy’s first year many times. I photographed them as newborns when they were 3 weeks old and I quickly figured out how different their personalities were from the get go. Lucy, laid back and pretty easy going… Leah, oh Leah, such a beauty but I think her mom and I agree, she knows what she wants and if is doesn’t want to do it, then she won’t! She is not one to like pictures and has always been tricky to photograph. But I enjoy the challenge and even though I know it frustrates mom, it really makes me laugh that their personalities have not wavered since that first newborn session.
For the cake smash, Lucy was totally into it. Leah played for a couple of minutes and was then over it. She wanted nothing to do with that cake after about two minutes. Lucy just sat and ate off both cakes
Smart girl!
We did some family portraits and they will be blogged soon, but for now, here is Leah and Lucy’s cake smash! (and more!)
I have known Missy and Vinny for a long time! We all went to school together and Missy and I got to know each other well after our daughter’s were born. Abby and Emma were friends as toddlers and and it’s amazing to see how much they have both grown. Missy is also my hair stylist and does such an awesome job! I just love going into the salon and getting pampered by her I was so happy to do some family pictures for her family. They are so photogenic and just a cute family all around…
Thanks again Missy and Vinny!
I could critique this picture, rip it apart really… only because I am in it of course. I don’t like my smile, my hair is yucky looking and needs to be highlighted again and on and on. BUT… it is me and my girls. They won’t care how I look one day when they see this picture. They will see that their mommy loves them, that I was there, and remember the moment I hope. I try to hand my camera over to my husband as often as I can, and lately I have been setting my self timer to snap shots of me with my girls. I want them to remember me with them and not always behind the camera. So, go pick up your camera, figure out how to set the self-timer and have some fun! Or, grab your cell phone and do the same. Better yet, book a session with Oldfields Photography to get some portraits with your children. I am always sure to grab mommy and children portraits and daddy and children portraits. They are just too important to me!
(thank you to my dear friend Brook Robinson for snapping this portrait)
Love this & you:)
miss you too Erin! Gosh, we need to make plans for this summer!!!
