This little guy takes the cake on mischevious, sneaky and resourceful.  He can’t be fooled by child-proof locks and gates.  If there is a door to open, he’ll open it.  If there is a counter to climb, he’ll climb it.  If there is a food (or non food) to eat, he’ll eat it.  Do you get the picture?  So although you see smiles and sweetness in the photos I am sharing, behind the scenes his brain is cranking and trying to come up with the next piece of mischief he can throw at his mom and dad.  He definitely keeps his mom scrambling throughout the day.  But despite his antics, he is a super cuddler and a great hugger.  Who cannot love a little boy whose favoritie movie is “Beverly Hills Chihauhau”?  This is a large share, I couldn’t resist.  Especially after finding out he’ll soon be a big brother.  Congratulations to his family!

Every week the lovely ladies at i Heart Faces (www.iheartfaces.com) put up a photo challenge.  Obviously, the focus is usually faces.  But this week, the challenge is off the face and onto the hands!  Here is my entry and take on this week’s theme which is “Hands on Fun”.  You should check out the other fun entries!

Miss “S” is the sweetest and most polite little girl and was such a JOY to photograph! She and her sister had fun playing dress-up in the clothing and props that I offer for my sessions. I was impressed by the way they took turns wearing the dresses. Big sister was so sweet to keep little sister content. I was lucky to get this beautiful vintage dress from my Uncle who finds the best thrift store treasures! This dress is from the 40’s and pairs so sweet with wings. Don’t you think?

Thank you Miss “S” for lighting up my studio with your sunshine.

Shh.....

Here’s a short video of our first weekend of this wonderful, new year.  2009 was a year of big changes for our family with our move to Bellingham and adding a dog into our household. It’s wonderful that she has integrated into our life so perfectly, as you’ll soon see in the video. I really do think that she believes she IS one of the KIDS. She’s a football player and a basketball star too. Lacey is as attached to the boys, as they are to her. This week we celebrate her FIRST BIRTHDAY. So here’s to 2010, family and Lacey’s first birthday. Please note: I used extremely small pics for this video to reduce the upload time. So please don’t try to enlarge the video, or it will be all pixelated!

What is a blog post without a new picture?  Boring!  We are celebrating the return of good health to all in the family, and we are so relieved that our youngest son is recovered from a case of pneumonia following the swine flu.  He was a real trooper, and I am so grateful that we caught the pneumonia early.  So here is my sweet boy, this one actually taken the day his fever spiked to 104.5 (scary).

A quick trip to Boxx Berry farm for a few Halloween pumpkins, and a moment of beautiful light.

I had the pleasure of taking pictures of Miss “S” at Hovander Park.  She was a delight to photograph and has such a sweet personality.  I love this park for its rustic appeal and natural beauty.  As a bonus, the kids never feel like it’s a job to be photographed, while they are having so much fun.  Is it ever a job when bunnies are involved?  We were fortunate to have such a beautiful Fall day.  I hope her parents enjoy the pictures.

I also am happy to be offering a beautiful mix of Christmas Cards by many fabulous designers.  I have a selection of over 30 cards for all tastes and styles (from traditional, to modern,  and even retro).  For Miss “S”’s sneak peek, I have shown a sample using a card by Luxcetera, from their Retro collection.  I added this collection this year and love them for their simplistic beauty with a touch of whimsy.   Check out the slideshow, and see for yourself.

I cannot believe it is October 1st already!  I’ve had a few macro flower shots homeless on my computer since August.  Now that it is raining, and it feels like Summer has officially ended, I thought I would dig these up to play.  They were taken at Hovander Park in Ferndale.  Hovander Park is the location for my upcoming mini sessions.  Beauty abounds at Hovander, even in the smallest details.

There has been interest to purchase these as prints.  Prints and canvases of these prints are available, prices indicated on my website (see Pricing Page, a la carte), plus a nominal shipping charge (to the continental U.S.).   Please contact me for details.

At last, I’ve pinned down the details for Fall Mini Sessions!  The sessions will be at beautiful Hovander Park in Ferndale, Washington in the apple orchard near the Historic Hovander Homestead.  Please book your session early, as spots are limited.  Please contact me at kristin@imagesbykristin.com if you have any questions!

Check back later this week for a what to wear section on my blog.  Fall is my favorite season, and I have so many clothing ideas for beautiful fall sessions that will not only look great on your Christmas cards, but classic as portraits displayed in your home.
