McGuire Family

July 2, 2010

I am so excited to finally share these images with you guys.. first of all, cause I loved the location Heidi picked out.. cause I loved the light we had that evening, i got to shoot with my new camera and most important.. cause I just plainly love to take pictures of the McGuire’s and I enjoy hanging out with them! And so does my daughter.. I can not bring my daughter to all the shoots cause of course that’s my work, but I am really fortunate to call Heidi and her family not customers anymore but friends, so Ally of course had to come to see Gavyn again and take some pictures of her own.

People who follow me on facebook might have checked out my daughter’s pictures and her amazing self-portraits.. it’s hilarious. I love her little close up nose and teeth pictures.. or other random things she captures around the house. (my husbands armpits while he is sleeping.. her feet, her thump.. ) But thank god for the delete button.. cause she also loved to capture.. me stepping out of the shower, the dirty laundry piled up on the bedroom floor, horrible close close close ups from my face.. etc.)

This time Gavyn and Ally tried to take pictures of the little bullfrogs they catched that day.. I just thought that was soo cute.

The locations was out on a farm somewhere between Farnhamville and Manson and it was perfect. The trees around the little lake gave an amazing evening light and the little stony beach along with the bench and peer made up to be the most perfect spots to take family pictures. Locations is always very important but if you don’t have great light, even the most amazing place in the world will look horrible in pictures.. so when location AND great light come together.. photographers like me, who totally work with the natural light and always look for light first and location last and would NEVER ever EVER break out there flash outside, feel like in heaven.

So in short.. it was a great evening! Beautiful family, gorgeous, happily in love couple and darn cute boys! But check em out yourself…

The McGuire Family

July 4, 2009

Can you remember little Mr. Declan? Or my first Maternity Session with Heidi? Can you believe how much he already grew since last year? And what a sweetheart his big brother is. It is so amazing when family’s are coming back over and over again to get there pictures taken by me. And if I develop a friendship out of it.. it just makes it even more special! Here is your sneak McGuire Family.. just for you!

What an amazing session yesterday.. Adam and Shalee are so much fun! Totally up for everything and a beautiful couple! I know the wedding will be a blast for me to shoot! Thanks to my little photo-training shoot with some wonderful photographers from Fort Dodge and around, I knew a couple of wonderful spots downtown I could take em’ for their Engagement Session. I know Shalee, i said i need two days to show you some on the blog but I just couldn’t wait and i have to upload at least three.. more to come in a couple of days.. i promise!

And how much of a perfect day would it have been, if I wouldn’t had locked my keys later in my car in front of Office Max?! I tell you it was not fun.. oh well we had actually a couple of good laughs when my sister in law and boyfriend showed up with a hand full of tools, ready for everything possible to help me to break into my own car! Those Reuter’s, i tell you! lol
And of story was that we, after 2.5 hours of trying to get that stupid car open finally ended up calling a professional! I was just amazed that nobody called the cops on us or that the cop i was trying to wave over, did not stop! Guess he had something more important to do! So please, let me give you that advice.. make sure you got your keys before telling your assistant to press the lock in your car down! Right Mahaley?

Ok, so the first thing i have to share are some family pictures of the fantastic Hawley Family! You guys are really one of the cutest and funniest family I’ve ever met! We had so many funny moments this afternoon.. the one i will never forget was the moment when Macie, the little sweetheart took a dive into my backdrop.. soooo funny and so scary! And I topped off the session with my lousy try to mimic animal sounds to get Macie to laugh. I am pretty sure everybody laughed but Macie! So if you want to hear my dieing horse.. just come right in and enjoy the show! lol

And I also get to share some pages of a new sample album I just got in the mail this week. This album is a 10×10 Coffee Table book with the new available hinged pages. Those pages are a little thicker and the pages lay flat when you open the book. It is available with glossy finish, like the one i ordered or with matt finish and i just plainly love it. This album would work wonderful as a Engagement Album or a fancy Senior Book.. I also would suggest it as a Parent Album for the Wedding Couples. And of course it is available in many many sizes and styles.. from the photo-cover to a fabric or leather cover.

And to finish this post off I have to share a couple of pictures from my little house monster! That little stinker never passes an opportunity to get in trouble. Just like Tuesday evening when i decided to bake some cupcakes.. and while I was still waiting for the rest to get done in the oven made my daughter the decision to already give them a try. Jonathon came up to my office and asked me if I gave Ally some cupcakes, which i didn’t. So Jonathon looked at me and said, I am pretty sure that your daughter (in those cases she is ALWAYS my daughter!! funny ha!) is sitting in the big chair, watching Harry Potter with the whole box of cupcakes next to her! These are the moments where you have to try so hard not to laugh and tell her how cute she is.. but after telling her how naughty that was i just couldn’t help it and had to snap some pictures. May I present to you “the cupcake monster”!!

oh and please notice her crossed legs while licking the icing of her little fingers! omg!

Right now I am super busy with all kinds of projects and sessions.. so be sure to check back and get some more sneaks into what I am up to these days. And than from next Wednesday on I will take a ten day break cause I have a little Bavarian invasion going on in my house. My two best friends incl. one boyfriend are coming to visit us here in Iowa. We will through a Bavarian Night with homemade food and Bavarian dresses for our family and visit the Mall of America and hopefully do a trip to the Omaha Zoo. So I am pretty sure there will be a lot to blog after they went home! And I promise there will be a picture of us (incl. Ally) in real Bavarian dresses and Lederhosen!! Piggy swear!
