Family Photo: The Linscott's

 It was a beautiful fall day yesterday when we took these family portraits. There was a nice chill in the air, which is not expected but definitely welcomed in fall in Southern California. Dan, Alex and Ada withstood the cool chill in the air to get some warm family photos. Aren't they a beautiful family?

 Miss Ada was ready for her time in front and behind the camera. She enjoyed looking at the photos. After I would take a few I would show them to her on the camera. I think the highlight was singing "Happy Birthday" to all of the little friends we used to get her attention. It's funny what you have to do to get a toddlers attention, like sing Happy Birthday to a stuffed animal this is on your head:) We also sang to her buddy Me-may, who took rides in the wagon and rocked in the rocking chair. It was fun to see her little personality come to light. What a spunky little doll!

This is Me-May, Ada's little buddy!

Kera Joy: Newborn

It was "pure joy" to photograph Kera. After all her name means "pure". This little one slept like a princess through the entire individual portion of the shoot. She wanted a piece of the action while her two older brothers were around. After they left, she was in dream world and we got some very angelic photos of her. At 7 days old she already experienced a lot of love from her brothers and others.

This was my first time using a bean bag for a newborn shoot and boy did that make a huge difference in posing. Jenny and Matt are dear friends of ours and I not only got to be there for the birth of Kera, but also got to photograph her. It was such a blessing!

This is  a special quilt made by her Grandma and Great Grandma.
