Favorites from St. James Farm

As the month of October is coming to an end, I wanted to share some of my favorite shots from a few of my photo shoots at St. James Farm.  It's not too late to book your photo shoot with me at this gorgeous location! 

Annual Family Photo

For the past few years, our family has taken a big family photo when we celebrate Sandy (aka Grandma Sandy) and Rick's (aka Uncle Rick) October birthdays.  By now, everyone knows that St. James Farm is my favorite place to take photos so that is where we ended up again this year.  With my trusty tripod & remote, I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best!  

With my camera in hand again, we got a great pic of Grandma Sandy & Papa Mike with all the grandkids.  This time next year, there will be another little girl in the mix courtesy of Brian & AJ. Looks like Papa Mike has an open arm to hold her :)

Campanile Family

It was a chilly Sunday morning when we started our shoot but that didn't stop Luke from bringing his best smiles! I don't think that I've done a shoot in a long time where the little one smiled as much as Luke did.  What a cutie!  It seems like just yesterday I was shooting his mommy's maternity photos.  This is what I love about this job - watching families grow.  I couldn't be happier for Stephenie & Dave and my heart bursts seeing them as parents to this sweet boy.  Looking forward to many more shoots to come of your family. 

 

Stephenie is the ultimate baby wearing mom.  Many of her own pictures with Luke have her wearing him in her Tula carrier.  It was only fitting that we capture this special way that these two get around. 

Last but not least...

A fellow Frankforter interrupted our shoot to tell us about the setup for the shot below.  Of course, the photographer in me was thinking, "No way! The lighting is harsh there and they will be blinded by the sun."  However, we couldn't pass up the good idea since the Campaniles are big Frankfort lovers :) 

Melissa's Maternity Shoot

Melissa & Bob are just weeks away from becoming parents.  I'm always so thrilled when people book me for maternity photos.  It such a memorable time in your life.  It was a great afternoon capturing this special time in their lives.  

 Oh, Charlie.  You're such a sweet dog.  I know you will make an awesome big brother.

If you read my blog before, you have heard me say how much I love doing Maternity shoots.  After being at this for 5 years or so, this is one of my favorite shots that I've taken.  

That light...that love...that growing baby...perfection.

 Best of luck to Melissa on her delivery.  Looking forward to meeting your new baby!

W Family

These 3 kiddos were troopers...no wait...super troopers...on the morning of their photo shoot.  It was windy and so chilly.   We bundled up in between shots to keep warm.  There was no way we could cover up their cute outfits that their mom had picked out.  

Frankie's mom said it best - "that dress was made for twirling."
