I’m headed out the door for a family roadtrip. A much needed vacation and quality family time!! Before I left, I had to post at least one shot from yesterday’s session with my little O’Connor twins. I know Mom is anxious to see what we got so I’m making sure to post something to appease her curiosity. And if you check out the twins’ site, you might notice how a lot of images from our last session were put to creative use.

Check ‘em out. You can’t even tell that we were braving 100 degree weather here! These girls are definitely professionals.

I’ll be back to post more next week. But for now, I better run. I think my husband, kid and dad are all sitting in the car, hollering for me to, “Hurry Up!”

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Hi there! Just here to share a fun little piece of news with you guys. I was pretty fired up to pop on over to the celebrity baby blog of People.com today and see MY photo up there! I’m not saving lives here nor breaking any world records, but hey … I still think it’s pretty cool. Check it out!

I first met up with the Sinnema Family back in November. We hit it off immediately and had a fabulous session. I think before our session was even over, we were already talking about our next session to take place in the spring. Then, suddenly, in the blink of an eye, five months pass and it’s time for us to get together again. I mean where did the time go? What happened to all those days? It’s as if they disappeared like sands through an hourglass or something like that …

Ha! Like my little segue? Actually, you probably won’t quite appreciate my clever little intro until I explain that Hailey and Lauren play Sydney DiMera on Days of Our Lives. These twins are hardworking girls with over 130 episodes already under their belt! And their sister, Hannah, most recently completed a job for Disney’s www.family.com website. Being the working girls that they are, however, they’re not resting on their laurels. It’s time to update their headshots for their agent and get them – and their sister — out on more casting calls for future gigs. I can’t wait to find out where we will see them next.

You can always keep up with the girls’ latest happenings on the Sinnema Sisters website. You might recognize a number of the photos from our November session.

Enough linking and talking about their work. Let’s get on with the show and bring out some of their photos! Big props go out to Mom and Dad – you guys helped A LOT throughout the session, doing anything necessary to elicit genuine belly laughs and smiles such as this one from Miss Hailey:

And one from Lauren:

Hailey, looking a bit more serious here, but not any less adorable.

The twins, together:

Big sis Hannah knows how to work the camera when she wants to. Ya just gotta make sure you’re there when she decides she wants to!

I wish the girls had been closer together when I snapped this shot. But with young toddlers, I realize that sometimes you can’t control everything.

When we wrapped up the shots in their nice clothes, we stripped ‘em down and let them enjoy some ice cold popsicles on this hot summer day. They had worked hard for their reward and definitely deserved the little treat. L&J, here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll see in your gallery. There are a lot of adorable popsicle shots but I’m not posting them here due to the naked chests. They are adorable but I’ll leave it up to you to determine whether you end up posting them for public viewing or not.

Lauren. Drool. Yum.

Enjoy! We’ll be in touch soon.

Back in October, the hip and stylish clothing gods introduced me to the Baby Eggi clothing line. (Some of you might remember my Baby Eggi blog post in which I suggested it as a good wardrobe option for portrait sessions.)

Shortly after that post, the hip and stylish clothing gods blessed me yet again. These ladies, my clients and co-founders of Baby Eggi, hired me to shoot their Spring 2010 catalog. I was thrilled! And excited for the challenge. Shooting clothing — for kids! — was going to be right up my alley. There was a ton of work that went into planning and pulling off this shoot which took place back in November. (Cinderella, Shay, and of course, Jeung and Julie – you guys rock! And Crystal, you were an awesome assistant. I couldn’t have done this without you.) As you can imagine, a ton of work went into the design of the spring catalog and website after the shoot as well (Jeremy, I am so impressed with your work). Throughout the entire process, there was an incredible energy and positive dynamic. Thank you, Baby Eggi, for giving me the opportunity to work with you guys.

The catalog is SUPER cute (but still in draft status) and I’ll share that when I can. In the meantime … I just couldn’t wait any longer to post and direct you guys over to the Baby Eggi website so you could start SHOPPING. Best part of all? Baby Eggi will donate 20% of the proceeds from January 1 until April 30, 2010 to support non profit organizations that are providing much care and assistance to the people of Haiti. So go ahead, feel good and shop with a conscience.

It is incredibly fun and rewarding to see my images used so effectively throughout their website. In BOYS, the first 5 articles of clothing are part of the new spring line. For GIRLS, the first 7 clothing items are new.

And since this is a photography blog … and since most of you readers do come here for the photos … below are some of my favorite images from the shoot. The theme for their line and this shoot was “Love is in the Air” … I love how these images fit the bill.
