April 16, 2010 // my life portraits
Today: I am going to hit the gym, get the car an oil change and set up for Camera Confidence. My brain still has it`s morning fuzziness, but I feel my excitement bubbling underneath it.
After the gym on Wednesday my body is feeling like it needs the oil, so hopefully another workout will iron things out - high hopes people!  Meanwhile my car will be getting a tuneup, taking it in always makes me feel like such a grown-up and I get excited thinking they might vacuum it for me.

Then, setting up for Camera Confidence. I have furniture to move around in the studio, gift bags to stuff, treats to lay out, and of course, my notes to review and I get to do that all with my amazing mama, who is teaching with me this weekend. We are excited to throw out tons of information and inspiration.

So, as I am in a party mood, I figured it was just the right day to post photos of this playtime session with Finn, Shayne and Tristan.

I don`t think it would have been possible for me to have more fun shooting - Finn, Shayne and Tristan, I really wanted to take all three of you home with me so I can goof around with you all time time and see those beautiful smiles you carry with you!

You three radiate this incredible joy!

Thank you!

I just love all your clients! When Liv started pre-school a few years ago there was this girl who was a year older, and Livea ADORED her. It was Shayne. Then Shayne went to Kindergarden. We were sad.... until Finn came along! Now we ADORED Finn. Then Liv brought her new baby brother to school and Finn ADORED Ryan ... you get the point. We love these kids. What characters! Shayne looks stunning. NIce work Karen!

Love love love these pics of three of my fave lil' characters! You've captured their charm, quirkiness, and great sense of fun, Karen--which they have inherited from two fantastic parents!

How exciting to see wonderful pictures of Finn the charmer on a Sunday. My daughter says she and Finn are going to get married when they grow up!

This was so much fun! The kids had a blast. Thank you for including them in your creative genius. That bear head picture is just too funny. He just wasn't going to let you go until you got that one! :)
