It was so great to catch up with this family again - it had been too long. Well not THAT long but when kiddos are so little they seem to grow up and change that much faster. These twin sisters are seriously adorable and they are super lucky to have such a cool fun older brother. Great seeing you guys again - thanks!
Just a fun little bit of news to share this morning. I entered a couple of my favorite images into the photography contest at the Erie County Fair this year. My portrait entry received “best of” and was in consideration for the tri-color ribbon - yay! My pictorial entry received an honorable mention. It made trekking down to the fair 8.5 months pregnant with 4 kids and a husband in tow totally worth it.
Early November sessions are currently booking and October is extremely limited with just one weekend session left - please book now!
Here are a couple of iphone pictures from last night at the fair. . . .
“Best Of” - Portrait
Honorable Mention - Pictorial
I really can not believe when I look at these two how long I have known them! To think that we first met when little R. was just able to fit into your arm now he is 4, has a gorgeous little sister who is almost 2 - wow! It’s like watching my own children grow up and its just so hard to believe. Fun as always guys!
Its Fan Friday again! Up for grabs this week is a complimentary 12×12 4 Image Collage with the purchase of your session fee ($160 value). All you have to do is leave a comment below and say why you would love a session with SH Portraits, would love a collage, or have loved working with SH Portraits in the past. Anything really! I’ll use a random number generator to determine the winner. And. . .because I totally forgot to post a Fan Friday last weekend - I will leave this one open to comments through 11:59pm TOMORROW and announce the winner on Sunday. So be sure to share the contest with your friends and family too!
I have some fun exciting news and things in the works that I will be able to share in the next few weeks too. I am just bursting to tell everyone but have to wait - so be sure to keep an eye out.
For now - here is an example of what the collage would look like and it is mounted on my standard styrene to protect it. Just frame and hang!
So so great to see this famly again, we first met up last summer and this summer I had the honor of documenting their new addition. She is just so pretty and petite - and her big brother quite obviously adores her! Thanks again guys - and for the super yummy treat on my drive home!
When you get a gorgeous evening, great location and A-mazing children seriously the session comes together like magic. Love these little ones so much and their eyes, wow need I say more?! I could look at them all day long. I had such a hard time deciding on just blog preview images alone so I know Mom & Dad have their work cut out for them with the gallery! Can’t wait to show you guys and thanks for an awesome evening!
Its Fan Friday! Today i will be giving away a gift certificate woth $50 that you can use or give to a friend! Just comment on this blog post saying why you would like a session with SH Portraits. Yup - it really is THAT easy! Tomorrow I will use a random number generator to choose the winner.
Of course I have to include a picture with the blog post so I am posting one of my kiddos, from two years ago (well almost). Hard to believe he was this tiny - I love his wrinkly little feet here.
Ok so I chose authentic for this blog post because that is the first thing that comes to mind with these two gorgeous littles. Authentic smiles, interaction with each other, their dirndls. I love everything about these images - the girls and their family. So. Much. Thanks for a great evening with your family!
So fun to finally get together with these two guys and their Mom last night. As a Mom of *almost* 4 boys myself I have a real soft spot for boys lately - high energy, and lots of fun. In my case also totally addicted to Mom which I must say I totally enjoy on most days. These two guys are fun, cool, and you can tell that they are great friends too. Thanks for a nice laid back session!

It is so hard for me to imagine that I first met this family when their little guy was just a couple of weeks old. Now he is nearing in on 5! I have had the wonderful experience of watching him grow and then welcome a new sister and now watching her grow as well. It is truly the BEST part of my job. I feel honored to have families choose me to document these fleeting times with their children. Love you guys!! Session was awesome and I can’t wait for you to see the gallery in a few days!
