Mango Street Photography

Life has been pretty crazy around here as Andrew and I have been checking off the list of things to do to get ready to meet our baby girl and I have been busy squeezing in sessions before going on maternity leave. My poor blog has been a bit neglected as a result, but I did want to share a few frames from a recent session. This family of four actually welcomed their baby into the world just 6 weeks ago, so I loved having the opportunity to capture the sweetness of this newborn boy along with the energy and excitement of his older brother. Enjoy a glimpse:

I have been looking forward to this session since the fall when Stephanie originally contacted me about doing some spring photos of her growing family, so you can imagine how excited I was when the day of our session finally arrived! I was thrilled to get to capture Stephanie and her 3 year old daughter Ava interacting together (along with some special photos of just Ava) in this exciting season! We had a wonderful time just playing away underneath a canopy of trees on a gorgeous spring afternoon. Enjoy a glimpse:

Welcome back from the holidays! I hope you all had a wonderful time with family. I have a couple of posts left from the end of ‘09 to catch you up on before moving on to some new and exciting things! You may remember me mentioning designer Stephanie Taylor and her wonderful Etsy shop in the recent blog give-away. I was thrilled to meet up with her and her sweet family on a cold December weekend evening for some Christmas card photos. Despite the freezing weather, we had a great session! It is always such a joy to watch a family’s loving interaction with each other. Enjoy a glimpse~

Thanks again!

November has always been one of my favorite months, but this year it has absolutely won me over by bringing with it such gorgeous weather. After the flooding and constant rain of October, this girl was glad to see sunshine and blue sky! It was on a perfect November day that I met up with the McAllisters last weekend, and I’m so glad I did. Enjoy a glimpse into their session:

Thanks again for a great afternoon!

It is always such a privilege for me when I am asked to step into someone’s home and document their family together, and it is one of the things I love most about my job. Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the Lane family. Their adult children, who are spread out on opposite sides of the country now, were both in town visiting family, making it the perfect time for a family photo session. Despite the overcast morning, we had a great session that was filled with laughter. The Lanes are definitely a family that enjoys being around each other and having a good time! Before we get to the family photos, though, we had to take some shots of their son and new wife, recently back from their honeymoon! Enjoy a glimpse~

Thanks again for a wonderful session!
