Project 365 - Day 179. Whatever Makes You Happy | Delafield Children's Photography

Today was ALL about Photoshop!  I made my first boudoir album and WOW if it doesn't look great!  I don't toot my own horn often but I must admit that I'm very proud of this and SOOOO wish I could share it with everyone!  Unfortunately, you're just going to have to trust me.   

I just finished getting it uploaded to the online gallery for my client to see and then was about to go into my late night photo-panic when I realized...HEY...I took THREE pictures today on my iPhone.   So, yippee!  I don't have to panic after all.

Here's my little wonder-girl who (at 20 months) can now count to 10!  NO IDEA who taught her that but I'm very proud.  Anyway...she has a ton of personality and really loves a lot of things.  One of them is umbrella's.  I can't explain it but she's a Huge fan.  

So, here she is hanging out in the car with her Thomas Umbrella.   

Just another day with the Johnsen's.

Project 365 - Day 164. One Year Later | Delafield Children's Photographer

Yesterday was a really cool day for me in my evolution as a photographer.   One year ago I was still doing modeling sessions and one of my earlier maternity and newborn sessions was with the family that I had a session with yesterday.    It was so fun to see little Patrick a whole year later!    When I went back to look at my blog, I saw that Mom's maternity session was my first ever blog post for Illustrations Photography and Patrick's newborn shots was just a couple of weeks later.     It's been a busy year and I'm so grateful for all of you...people who are actually reading my blog, looking at my pictures, and trusting me to take images of your family!    Thank you for all your support!!!

Love, love, love this shot:
