11-3-2013 hagerman family

For the past few years I have had the honor to capture this beautiful family. It has brought me such joy to see this little one grow and help his momma document his special moments through the years. I couldn't be luckier to have not only have this special lady not only as a client but now as a friend.

a princess in training...

my little one truly eats, sleeps and breathes disney princesses. often you will find her dressed as one of her beloved princesses running errands with mommy and/or daddy (home depot has had more than one visit from snow white). nor is it uncommon to hear her singing a disney princess song in her sleep. i think she knew most of the mulan song "reflection" before she knew all of her shapes (that was not by our choice). 

a few months back i was reading the blog inspire me baby and i came across a photo of a little girl hanging her princess clothes. i fell in love with the concept and i knew it would be perfect for my little lady.  

so, i held onto that idea for a while and searched for the perfect place. initially i envisioned a wooded area but finding that in our community (or anywhere close for that matter) proved to be difficult. i revised that after finding this gorgeous spot. i thought with all the beautiful flowers it would look like a secret garden (one of my all time favorite books). so up we hiked the side of a hill carrying all the stuff (thank goodness for my assistants- my husband and son) and we set up the shot.

even though i loved the location and all the elements were perfect i just felt it wasn't quite right. so i continued on my search for the woodsy area. literally, on a whim i revisited an old location i once had frequented. the moment i stepped through the trees i knew i had found my perfect spot. i had 20 minutes to unload the car, set up the scene, capture a few images, take down the props and make it back to the car to make it just in time to pick my son up from school. 

and here are a couple that i got for the day...

this was such a fun session i can't wait to start booking in the future. call now to book your session for the little princess in your life!

and for one of my BEST clients don' worry i have come up with a boy version that is equally as CUTE! because every boy deserves to be a super hero!

two wrestlers and a football/baseball player makes for...

a fun session! when i got the call from one of the mom's i was super excited. a year ago i had the honor of photographing this absolutely gorgeous young lady Alex

well here we are a year later and now it is time for her brother to graduate. i was a bit nervous, not sure what to expect with three boys all together! photos for anyone (especially boys) can be uncomfortable at first but from the moment we started the shoot we were laughing and they were at such ease. as a matter of fact the boys were great with one another. they are great friends and i see that they will have a long lasting friendship.

can i just say...

absolutely stunning!

meet Alex, a senior at a local high school. isn't she absolutely gorgeous? well not only is she gorgeous but she is also sweet and has a fabulous personality.

 

her smile is truly contagious...

and her self-confidence is evident in the way that she carries herself. after getting to know one another and a few jokes from her mom (who is hilarious) Alex was truly a natural at this.

 

i had such an amazing time with Alex and wish her the best of luck in the future!!!
