Last Tuesday (my birthday) I spent the afternoon with Aimee, Scott and their adorable children Sophia and Jack. I photographed this stylish family at an apple orchard. Apple orchards are just a great place to do shoots this time of year. The color, the pumpkins and of course the apples are great natural props. I’ve known Aimee and Scott for five years now and I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve photographed their family. We should do this more often guys! These children are just so beautiful! I had fun capturing them. The funniest part of the shoot was when Sophia looked up at me and said “I quit.” You can’t help but laugh at that, what a little diva you guys have. Anyway all and all a great fall session for you blog stalkers to enjoy!

Peace,

Seriously, how cute are these two?

I love the “big sister” in this one..

This one just cracks me up. Jack looks like a little politician practicing his wave.

She knows she’s cute too..

The mini player.

Love this b&w.

This is her “Hollywood” pose..

Jack’s working on his “touchdown” call..

Something about her little look in this one gets me… she’s up to something.

The fam..

Love this shot.

A couple with Mom & Dad

I’ll end with this.. I love the way the kids are looking at each other..

Blogtober continues.. Good morning to you all on this Monday! Right now I’m traveling to my photography lab Millers in Kansas City, MO for something big! This is the biggest photography lab in the country and it’s pretty amazing that they invited myself and 11 other photography studios across the country to be part of this. I still can’t believe it. Anyway more on that later.. But since I’m not here doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be a blog post for you right? Well here is a teaser of whats in store.. In no particular order………

A family shoot.. later this morning will be up!

Little Olivia in some gorgeous fall foliage…

Every now and then I get lucky enough to photograph an adorable baby. Just this morning I shot this too. Talk about speed blogging huh? Now unfortunately we didn’t shoot Kailin & Jamey’s wedding last year since we were already booked up but her sisters, bridesmaids and Mother were cool enough to surprise Kailin with a gift certificate at her shower. They all said Kailin had alluded to wanting this so I don’t know how much of a surprise it was to her. Finn is just 10 days old, I love photographing babies just days old. He was really easy to photograph because and all my man did was sleep! I love that though, they just look more peaceful. I gotta give props to Kailin though, she looks phenomenal. I go way back with Kailin, we’ve known each other since high school so I’m not surprised at all by her looks 10 days after giving birth. Jamey looks good for just having a baby too ;) Man is he funny. All I did was laugh at him while photographing Finn. All and all, a great way to set off my week! Congrats to the new parents!

Peace,

Another custom gift certificate by our talented designer Jenny..

Finian..

I like pairing a shot of a baby with an element from their room..

I love these b&w’s…

Tired little man, I think he was up late with Jamey watching movies or something..

The fam.

He opened his eyes for about 30 seconds..

Then he went back to bed. How funny are his little hands?

Weighing in at..

looks like just over 8lbs.. I teased this one on my facebook. Obviously, its my favorite one.

No offense Jamey, we’re rooting for him to have Kailin’s eyes ;)

Another fav..

and another one..

The lion roars in his halloween costume. Congrats guys!

Back in November of 2008 we shot Maribeth & Michaels wedding.. Wow that seems like light years ago to me. Keep in mind, we have shot over 70 weddings since theirs. Wow! Anyway they paid us the ultimate compliment by having me capture their little man Brandon. They both live out of town and even came back here for this photo session. How awesome is that? Oh and since its “dog week” over here at JEP I must give a shout out to their small dog Molly.. Got slobber? Anyway, it was great seeing you guys again. Congrats on your new addition, he’s an adorable little dude. On with the photos..

Peace,
JP
