Peter is Graduating

Peter is soon going to be an official graduate of the class of 2012.  He’s a self-titled computer geek and loves to play chess.  Peter is the funniest guy and had me cracking up the whole shoot.  I think there is a serious side to Peter but I love the fun loving side the best.

 

 

 

Radical Retro

Johannah has a fabulous dress from her grandmother’s dancing days.   She jazzed it up with killer shoes and a retro hat.  Johannah is an ambassador this year for Diana Vader Photography.   We had loads of fun posing and twirling and laughing.  Johannah is an absolute natural in front of the camera.  Amazing!

 

 

 

 

Baby Bundles

 

 

 

 

 

Such a sweet baby girl.   Only 10 days old.   The Gottfried Family has a new Spring baby and she is so precious.   Welcome Carly!   The gardener came by to say hello with his lawnmower.  Then another gardener came by with the blower.  Meanwhile we’re trying to get baby Carly to sleep.   To add insult to injury there was a cold wind blowing into the entryway on her bare bottom. I had a wamed comfy underneath her so she could stay cozy. But even with all of that she was so sweet about the whole thing and gave us some gorgeous images for her mommy and daddy.   Thanks Carly!
