oh my...

this weekend i was at the mall with one of my good friends, ashley, who has an adorable little girl who is 9 months old.  every store we went into we found ourselves drooling over all over the children's clothes.  at gap, i just about couldn't help myself.  the cuteness was beyond overwhelming!  one thing is for sure, when mymichael and i have kiddos, local retailers had better watch out.  it will be bad...oh so bad. 
these clothes were so cute and i just kept thinking how cute some little toddler would look in photos.  many times moms ask, "what should we wear for our photos?"  well, these days you can pretty much walk into any children's store, throw a dart and land on something cute.  but, i thought it would be fun to put together some toddlers outfits that would be adorable for photos.
a few tips:
#1  layers!  the more layers the better!
#2  mix and match patterns.  don't be afraid to mix it up.  the key is to select two patterns that are completely different, but have coordinating colors.  you don't want to pair two sets of stripes together, but you could definitely pair stripes and polka dots, or stripes and plaid.
#3  when putting together an outfit for a kiddo, think in terms of, "would i wear this?"  nothing is cuter than a munchkin that is dressed like a miniature adult.  their outfit should reflect their personality, which many times reflects the parent's personalities as well.
#4  don't be afraid of color!  color is so playful and fun on kiddos....use it! 

okay, now onto the toddler outfits.
you can begin drooling........................now...........

this is the toddler trench coat that i almost walked out of the store with.

belated abstract christmas lights

the week of christmas my friend kelly and i went out to rhema and took pictures of christmas lights.  each year rhema puts up thousands of beautiful lights with music and everything.  it's a great holiday tradition if you live anywhere near tulsa.  my favorite pictures that i took are all more abstract.  i had lots of fun blurring the lights to get different effects.


















to take photos like these, with the lights blurred creating circles, you have to put your lens on manual focus.  then play with it until you get the look you like.  i think some of these would look really neat blown up really big on canvas!

the miller's {family pics}

***warning***
this is going to be a long post full of pictures!  my friend carissa, with c.c. miller photography, asked if i would take her family pics again this year.  of course i would!  she has some of the cutest kids you will ever find!  we had a blast we went downtown and then to a field where we featured a family motorcycle.  lots of fun. 

now, before getting to the pictures....let's talk about what to wear for pictures.  you will see that she decided to go with bright, fun colors for everyone.  they are not all matchy-matchy, but they coordinate nicely while letting each person's personality shine.  this is the way to do it people!  the days of everyone wearing all black or all brown are over.  have fun with it.  use fun accessories, hats, scarves, jewelry, etc.  if you are stuck and don't know what your family should wear, look at retailers advertising.  if you have children, check out GAP and J.Crew, you don't have to buy, but you can get some great ideas to build from.  target currently has some of the cutest children's clothes around!  wear things that you would wear normally.  why portray your family as being uptight and formal if you are anything but that?  your family pictures should reflect your family so that when people look at them, they say, "yep, that's totally the miller's {or whoever}". 

i digress....onto the pictures.....

can you say children's model?  e was cracking me up the entire time.  there is no posing needed with him, he strikes them on his own!  let's just say that i called him mr. gq the whole time.  i mean seriously???





this is "little momma" according to her mother and this is one of my favorite pictures!  she was so proud of her freshly painted finger nails!









so, yea, the kids are cute, but how about the smokin' hot mom and dad??? 







 

i love these pics of little momma w/ her daddy!  can you tell she might be a daddy's girl??? 






thank you carissa for asking me to take your families pictures!  it was a blast!
