Kensington, Broderick & Sinclair

Friday, February 5, 2010 Uncategorized

The three little cuties from California were so adorable. Funny thing was the ones who we expected to cooperate didn’t, and the one we didn’t expect to cooperate….did. Two year old Brody just marched over to the suitcase, sat on it and started smiling away, laughing at everything we were doing. Kensie kept asking me questions and talking, which was so cute, I just got a lot of pictures of her mid sentence! And little Claire, well she just wasn’t having it. She got ticked about something and stayed that way. Good thing she’s so cute because I got some great ones anyways! I’ve never met this family until now, but Megan is the owner of Kensie Claire Boutique and has been sending me adorable headbands and flowers for a few years to use in my studio. Check out her adorable stuff, her flowers are so soft and floppy, I love love love them! I was so glad to finally meet her in person and take pictures of her beautiful kids.

That’s right, I said it. I’ve been trying to muffle the EH that seems to automatically follow sentences, but I’m tired of it. I am Canadian dang it.

Addie & Jett

Thursday, February 4, 2010 Uncategorized

I’ve been photographing Addie since she was a baby, and this time she brought the cutest accessory EVER, her brand spankin’ new baby brother. Jett slept the entire time and was very easy, and so was Addie. Kara is the most easy going mom, I always love working with this family.

Her outfit is one of the many that I got from Denise. Except I think I stole the pants from Katie’s pile. Actually I know I did. She doesn’t.

And I just have to say THANK YOU to everyone who left comments, emailed and facebooked me about Stacia and baby Lucas. I really appreciate it and I know that Stacia does too.

katie moss - She is the cutest thing ever! I'm so hungry right now. I wish I wouldn't have looked at this, now I HAVE to go eat. You can steal any clothes from my pile, I wouldn't have gotten any if it weren't for you:)

Brittany - so CUTE skye! i love love love the first one, totally shows how she really eats. they turned out great! and i ALWAYS love a few pics of that little girl, she is such a sweetheart!

Mandy merrill - What doesn't sweet baby Saylor look adorable doing? These pictures are so cute! So are the clothes :)

Vanessa - These are so cute!!! Gotta love the IKEA cups :) now come on...please make me feel better just a little and tell me your kids don't really eat this healthy all the time :)

Natalie - LOLLLLL at her not knowing you stole them for her. You two crack me up! I love her outfit and the brown chucks are adorable.

Lacey - UGH! She is so flipin' cute! The very first picture made me laugh outloud, it's so funny to see her personality coming through as she gets older.

Heather - She is so darling and I agree, anything she does is pure cuteness.

skyes mom - I love the first one the best...I can just hear her attacking that piece of fruit and being silly at the same time, it melts my heart that she can call me gramma now!!! I am coming sweet baby... on the weekend and you are all mine!

Alecia Riggs - Oh my gosh her outfit is the cutest thing! LOL at that first one, she is just getting so big!

Jess - Man she is soooooo cute!

kelsey - ha. i love them all. now i need to know what she was dipping the kiwi in, and licking off her fingers! yum. . .

Skye Johansen - Thanks everyone! Vanessa my kids actually do eat pretty healthy, my mom raised us on whole wheat bread, no pop etc, so that's how I try to feed my kids. Their favorite snack is avocados with lime juice and salt. Kelsey it's Activia vanilla yogurt, it takes like cream cheese and it's sooooo yummy.

Tristan, Gracie & sweet baby Lucas

Monday, February 1, 2010 Uncategorized

I have thought about what to write about when I posted these pictures, but the truth is there are just no words to express what this sweet little family is going through right now. About six months ago Stacia emailed me and made an appointment for her baby boy that was due on Christmas Day. I have photographed Tristan and Gracie before and was excited to meet the newest member of their family.

A few days after Christmas I got an email from Stacia that made my heart sink, her sweet baby boy had been born still. She gave me a link to her blog and as I sat and read about baby Lucas, I couldn’t stop crying. I just can’t even imagine. Here’s a clip from Stacia’s blog….

“This has by far been the most heartbreaking, yet sacred and precious experience of my life. I am not typically one to share moments that are this close to me, and for the past couple of weeks I have not intended to, but I am so proud to be Lucas’ mommy and I want to give everyone the chance to see my beautiful baby boy.

Lucas Steven Mann was born still on December 15, 2009, due to unknown causes (SADS). I had the amazing opportunity to hold his perfect little body for 2 days after he was born. I miss him so bad that it physically hurts, but I know that I will always have those precious moments that I was able to spend with him, and he will always be in my heart.

We miss and love you, Lucas.”

She wanted to keep her appointment to get pictures of her older two, and here’s what she wrote in her email. It has stuck with me.

“I am completely heartbroken. But I have realized how fragile and precious every moment is with my kids, and that the memories and tiny details captured by pictures is priceless. I don’t want to forget their looks or personalities at any point in their life.”

Stacia, I hope these pictures bring you a little piece of joy at this trying time in your life. I hope you can feel everyone’s love and prayers, especially mine, my heart is breaking for you. I’m so sorry. Tristan and Gracie are more beautiful than words, you have some very special kids, I hope I was able to capture them the way you want to remember them. In this first picture they are holding these little lambs that remind them of their baby brother, he has one too. Thank you Stacia for letting me share your story, there are others going through this right now and you are a huge example to many.

God bless this family, they have been through so much!

Skye Carroll - I am at a loss for words and cannot imagine the pain this family feels. My heart breaks for this mom, as I am due in a month I just can't begin to think about what it would be like to lose a baby. She is a great example and inspiration to me and made me quickly realize how precious life is and to not take one minute for granted. The pictures are so touching Skye and you can sense a feeling of peace when you look at them. Thanks so much for sharing her story.

Amelia - I agree with you Skye there are no words. My love and Prayers go out to this Family! These pictures are beautiful! and they will be a comfort as time moves forward.

melissa - Sheeesh, I don't even know what to say. I to am feeling for that family. And wish with them to feel some peace during this hard time. That second picture is just perfect!

Karen Krammer - Moms who have lost children belong to an elite club of precious painful, joyful suffering. The pain you feel defines the joy you have had. The pictures of the children are beautiful! It is one of the hardest things you have to do, to keep living and loving when life is so poignantly bittersweet. The kids have joy and beauty in their eyes. I love the close ups, they tell a story all on their own. Without adversity there is no courage. Be of good courage!

cassandra - Beautiful family. May the comfort of the Holy Spirit rest upon them.

katie moss - You were right, this did make me cry! She will love these shots forever.

Emily Heizer Photography - Oh dear. All I can say is my heart is with the Mann's. I hope one day their heart will heal and they will welcome more children into their home. I suppose it is good to remember that God must have needed Lucas for something very important in a place far greater than what we have on Earth. And all we can do, is be eternally grateful to the Mann's that they were able to provide little Lucas with the body he needed to be passed back into the Lord's hands and his reward. You will be with him again, and it will be glorious. Thinking of you.

Amanda - While Lucas will remain a child forever, his memory will continue to grow in the minds of this gorgeous family. My heart goes out to the Mann family.

Mandy merrill - Hmmm I thought I had commented but I guess not. Anyways, I've looked at this post twice now and for a few reasons; its so beautiful to see the precious memories with those gorgeous kids, to see the sweet bond that is so obvious between them and mostly to see the mom. She has a soft happiness to her that I think most moms would believe it would be impossible to have after such a loss. My heart goes out to her and her family but she reminds me to take the time to enjoy and remember my kids because each moment is a gift. Beautiful family and beautiful pictures Skye.

Brittany Larsen - Oh my goodness, what a hard trial for that family to go through. I cannot imagine something like that ever happening, that mom must be so strong! My heart aches for them and i wish them all the best.

It truly keeps me going knowing that one day all of us parents who have lost our babies will be with them again! I also remind my self that we must have done something amazing in heaven for heavenly father to choose us to have these spirits. I willbe praying for this family cause prayers were felt during the hardest time in my life! God bless

Mindy - Your work is absolutely beautiful. My baby girl was born still in September so I know how precious these pictures are! My heart aches for this family! I understand too well the pain of this loss but I also know that we are carried and our babies are where they need to be. We have the gift of their spirits to guide and love us!

Kim - I was holding my little baby in my arms when I read this post and have to admit, with teary eyes, I squeezed him a little tighter afterwards. Thank you for sharing your story Stacia, it helps remind all of us how precious and sacred life's little moments are. My heart goes out to any parent who has gone through such heartache and know that you will be able to hold him in your arms again one day. So sorry.

I always love photographing twins! These ones were almost 5 weeks old, so I wasn’t sure what they were going to let me know. They cooperated together in the beginning but then they decided to take turns sleeping for the rest of the session. Big sister Kira was so funny, as soon as she sat down she instantly started pulling all these adorable poses, looks like she’s got this thing down.

Queen of the house.

I’ve been having way too much fun playing dress up with the girls with all the clothes Denise gave me. Gracie picked her outfit today and then we had a serious talk about not ruining the clothes at school, and with the most serious face she said, “if any of the boys come close to me I will just put my hands out and say STOP, don’t touch my clothes.” haha she is the cutest, I love her. After I got Saylor dressed I went down to the studio to do a little cleaning and thought I could take a couple of pictures of her too in this FREAKING cute shirt and dress. But she found the little crown that my sister Brittany made and refused to take it off. So, crown it is! It suits her anyways.

Is that not the cutest little dress ever?? Please note the most crooked ponytails ever, whoops.

Kamryn

Wednesday, January 27, 2010 Uncategorized

I’m still trying to recuperate from my awesomely fun trip, I’m only about halfway through my emails so if you haven’t heard back from me you will soon. I will not be able to answer the photography questions I’ve gotten in the last week, there are literally about 100 and there’s no way I’ll be getting to them, I am simply too busy right now. Sorry!

So here’s my sweet friends gorgeous one year old, Kamryn. She bonked her little eyebrow in my studio before we even took one picture, so she was pretty “emotional” for her session. Kim left thinking we got NOTHING and I told her not to worry, but I know she’s been stressing herself out! I had her bring Kamryn back in so we could get one big smile out of her, and we did. Look at this girls lips, they are the cutest things ever.

Spoiled.

Monday, January 25, 2010 Uncategorized

I really don’t even know what to say. That was the most fun I’ve ever had on a trip. We didn’t know what to expect, but we certainly didn’t expect everything that happened! I’m still just trying to take it all in!! Denise (the owner of Matilda Jane) spoiled us like no other. She was there to pick us up from the airport and even though she rented us a car, she pretty much just took us with her everywhere she went all weekend. She is THE MOST generous (and creative!) person ever, Katie and I were so excited everytime she came to pick us up at the hotel. Everything was taken care of for us, the hotel, food, movies, room service, even spending money! It was freaking AMAZING. It was so fun to see all the behind the scenes stuff and meet everyone who works at and makes Matilda Jane run.

I have so so so much to do now that I’m back home and thrown back into reality. So here’s a few pictures. And can you even believe Katie’s tiny little tummy?? She is less than 5 weeks from having her sweet baby girl, I can’t wait!

DSC_2861-

We may, or may have not got to load up on clothes for our girls (and studios of course). I can’t really say….although just ask our hotel neighbors who probably thought someone was being murdered next door, with all the screaming that we just couldn’t hold in. Best day of my life.

We loved going to 435. That was the building that felt like a dream, with fabric and ribbon and CLOTHES on every shelf, I want to LIVE there. It has cuteness oozing out of it everywhere you look. This little doll scared the crap out of me everytime I walked around the corner.

mj12

Everywhere we drove in Fort Wayne was so cool. There are sooooo many old buildings and the houses had so much character. On the flight home Katie and I tried to figure out how we could move there, since there is a photographers dream around every corner. I am now in love with Fort Wayne, Indiana. Crazy.

And now for the best part of all…..I wasn’t sure if I had won any clothes from the spring line or not, but apparently I get the whole thing, and of course I am FREAKING OUT, because they are the cutest clothes Matilda Jane has ever ever EVER had!!!! I’m still completely in shock from the whole thing, but I am so excited and very very very GRATEFUL for Dave and Denise and everything they did for us. This has been the best and most fun experience of my whole life! I met the cutest girls and I will remember them all for a long time. (I’m talking about you guys, Sam, Kayla and Lynnette!)

And of course I’m still having a party for the new spring line, Hammond Bay (did I mention these are the cutest clothes EVER???) It will be held on February 17th, from 1-3 pm. So mark your calendars and save up some money, because you are going to want it all. They have the cutest ladies clothes too, I’m so excited to get some for myself!

For more cuteness, go to the Matilda Jane Blog and see more. And leave Denise a little note if you can, she is going through a lot right now and I still can’t believe she pulled off that huge conference with everything she had going on, including babysitting us!!
