Golden glory!

These fields of golden mustard flowers (the owner told me-HA! you thought I was super smart for a second, right?), just begged for some photos! The girls had FUN! Although we were itchy as all get out and I needed an inhaler to clear up some congestion...but it was SO worth it! Look how yummy this evening light is!

REMEMBER, please don't take a photo without asking. :-)

knuckleheads

Yesterday I shot these super SUPER fun kids at a local historical area. These two had so much personality...it sure made for a FUN shoot! Mr. L here totally could model for www.knuckleheadsclothing.com (Cool boy clothes). He totally had the model moves! Little Miss A was really sweet but such a brave little sassy girl too! MAN I love this time of year...EVERYTHING is so VIBRANT!

Blooms

These two lovely little ladies were so sweet and fun. We shot at one of my favorite places, it has all kinds of goodies: stone walls, lush grass, a bridge, a meandering stream and old buildings! The oldest, Little Miss Q looks a lot like what my neice Grace could look like in a couple years. The younger Little Miss R had super cool color changing eyes! I LOVE my job!These photos have a few of the different effects I can offer, jewel tone color, yummy chocolate sepia, and a vintage wash. There are a couple more on the site under little ones if you'd like to see more of these two little cuties! www.whimages.com

Drive WOMAN drive!

The past couple weeks have been super busy with my girls as they get ready for their dance recital. Extra practice, dance photos, dress rehearsals, etc. and so on. Today we had a dress rehearsal for Ms. P here and she looked super cute all dolled up in her 50's garb of red cigarette pants and high sassy pony twisting it to "the twist". When we left I had to make a couple stops and she was WAY NONE TOO HAPPY to be doing errands dressed like that. Let me give you a little background here real quick...
There is another Kindergartener in our neighborhood who happens to be a little boy. I'll refer to him as Mr. B. Mr. B and Ms. P here have a mild little Kindergarten romance going on. He's in another class at school BUT they ARE in the same language arts group. This is the SAME little boy that told Peyton that her wanted her to come to his house and that his mom would "TAKE her from her bus stop". Ms. P was PETRIFIED for weeks thinking this mom was going to TAKE her and I'd never see her again and she wouldn't be able to come home. SHE's very literal!
FAST FORWARD NOW PEOPLE ...
As we stroll into the drug store with me in my oh so unflattering yet oh so comfy capri track pants and Ms. P in the aforementioned sassy little number with the pony tail swinging, LOW and BEHOLD who do we walk smack dab into...charming little Mr. B! Ms. P could totally have crawled under a rock. She actually looked like she zoned out and even sheilded her eyes in that "oh my gawd this is a train wreck yet I can't look away" fashion! Finally as we were walking to the car she said "THAT was a nightmare!" Then we get in the car and she bellows: DRIVE WOMAN DRIVE! This little girl is too big for her britches!

Sun Flare, glorious SUN FLARE!

I've had the delight of photographing this fun little family several times now. Handsome baby D is the NEWBORN on my site wrapped in blue with the little blue and white hat on. Now he's a big guy!

Look at the uber cool sunflare I picked up on this shot of the girls! I JUST love it...I know technically it's not a great shot but I still love it! :-)

Gracie girl

2 days a week I'm blessed to get to have my neice and nephew for several hours. I have watched another little boy two days a week for about 3 1/2 years since he was several weeks old. His name is Hayden, and Grace here is referred to by him as "my gracie girl". Yesterday Hayden wasn't able to come so Grace and Mason and I went on a little photo shoot because I had an itchy shutter finger. She really wanted her pics taken and as I was driving around scouting new places she'd pipe up from the back seat, "not there, I don't want my pictures there." I'd point to an area from the car as we were driving and she'd nix them all. Finally I pointed here and she said, "yes, there, I want my pictures there!" Thank goodness for her approval!

Spring!

Yesterday was the first day that TRULY felt like spring! I LOVE that! I've been waiting so long it feels like! My double delightful friend Stephanie and I spent the day having some "girls day out" time...that's always FUN! What's more fun then going to Target with a super shopper buddy? ...and TACO BeLL! YUM!

So I've been waiting for it to get warm because I've had visions of Callie in front of this awesome RED door at a local church in a black leotard and black tutu. It took tons of COAXING, cajoling (I know that's not spelled right), 10 bucks and the promise that I'll let her get a real streak of a color in her hair this summer. She wants pink about an 1inch wide ala Avril Lavign even though she's not an AL fan, but she DOES have cool hair. This particular door is at a busy intersection in our town and tutu clad Callie was NON TOO PLEASED to have everyone and their brother that we possibly know drive by the intersection and view her skinny little body in the black get up. OHHHH but I had FUN! The texture of the stone walls, the bold black hinges the color-packed spring flowers....ohhh my! AND that FOUNTAIN~ made my day! Thank goodness spring is HERE!

Hoppy boy!

OMGAWD, look how cute Mr. A is! I could eat him up! I was totally lovin' his happy little spirit AND that rain coat and frog boots...to die for! His momma is a real cool chicka who's doing such a fab job raising this little man. These pics were for his second birthday and his Mom Lisa had a super cute t made for his b-day with a 2 on and his name...GREAT idea~!

The girls...

This weekend starts my spring sessions and I can't WAIT! My kids can't wait either because I've been torturing them incessently with my camera. Luckily the annoyment doesn't show too clearly on their faces. Although I haven't been able to snap one of Cole since Philly...it's killing me too 'cause he just got a hair cut. I LOVE love love a fresh hair cut on a boy or my man for that matter! Look at the skin color on these two...weird huh? One so warm and glowing and the other lovely, creamy and fair!

So a few more days and you'll see some fresh kids that are not related to my family! LOL

Philadelphia

Today we took the kids to Philadelphia, land of our forefathers, yada yadda yada. We knew that Matt and I would be into the architecture and the history and stuff but the kids...not so much! :-) We were
walking around a few minutes after we got there and Cole wanted to know which way the naval
academy was...ummmm BUD, it's way south! He thought we were in Annapolis. :-) They were totally NOT into me getting my camera out but I did snap this "urban" shot of Cole in the alley way to Franklin Court.

It's sad that HISTORY is lost on those that it's most important to, our youth! Now I want to go watch National Treasure real bad...

she's SIXXXXXXXXXX!

So she's six now and pleased as punch with herself! I'm exhausted after a weekend of partying like a rockstar (well a 6 year old rockstar). It all started Friday with a "Diva Make-Over party" with about 20 girls, 12 of them about 6 years old. My sister was the wonderful up-do diva queen and transformed all of their hair into divalicious do's! Then they had make up expertly applied (well, kinda). Several strings of "pearls" and hot pink boas later...VIOLA'...DIVINE LITTLE DIVAS! They danced up a storm to the rockin' beat of HANNAH MONTANA of course and chowed on cupcakes and pizza. Peyton had her family and friends party on Sunday with her requested menu of BROCCOLI SALAD and Jewish APPLE CAKE birthday cake...she's one little chick who knows exactly what she wants!

I'm not even going to mention my Saturday other than to say that Matt played at Looney's and a good time was had by all...and it made Sunday that much more difficult to pull off! ;-)

He's ROCKIN this weekend too!

So I just wanted to let any local people know that Matt's band is playing at Looney's this weekend for St. Patty's day, Saturday around 4ish. It's going to be a CRAZY fun time there as usual! The band is Crash Nelson and we have TONS of people going so come join us! :-) It's sure to be a ROCKIN' TIME!

CLICK click click....The snapshot album!

Here's the FUNKY lil' book I'll be teaching at Scrap-Masters on Wed the 19th. It's filled with snapshots of the past 6 months or so. This mini book is FUN because it's sorta a NO RULES little book. It's not matchy matchy and the colors are funky, fun and cool! I LOVE it! So if you want to throw together a little book with me, sing on up~!

Spring Special

I thought I better put a little note here about the spring special...I'm really excited about it! If you are not aware because I didn't send you an email about it, let me share the details! For anyone who has their WHIMAGES.COM portrait session in March or April, you will get with your disc of digital negatives, 1 6 x 6 enlargement, 2 5 x 7 enlargements and 8 wallets! As my little happy SPRING gift! cool huh? Email me for any questions: robynlbedsaul@comcast.net Oh and when I checked the whimages site this morning it was down, it might take them a couple hours to get it up...check back later, k?

This shot is for the mini book I am working on that I'm teaching at Scrap-Masters on the 19th. The book is for all SNAP-SHOTS 'cause we all have them! This is a quick pic of the zillion pair of Converse shoes that my family has. Callie has 3 pair alone! Love these shoes, vintage but fun and FUNKY! Matt's have peace signs on them...he wears them to gigs of course, you won't see him sportin' them to the office anytime soon!
