Platinum Babies ~ Charlotte Lynn

Charlotte is one of my platinum babies. A new package I am putting together. Pictures from newborn to their first birthday taken every 3 months. I still can’t believe she is 3 months already. Correction 4 months now. Two weeks ago I got to spend the afternoon with Charlotte, her big brother Cooper and their Mama. Definitely a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Look at the difference. She has grown so much already. I am looking forward to watching her grow this year and her personality to develop.

Of course I had to do a tutu photo. Her mama doesn’t care too much for tutu’s but agreed she does indeed look cute in it. I appreciate her mama allowing me to have so much fun with her.

I am also lucky enough to be her Aunt Kate so I get to see her in a few weeks for her big brothers 2nd birthday!

A Few Of My Family…

I had all intentions of posting 2009 in review, but unfortunatly I have been working way too many hours at the office. So I will get to it at some point in 2010.

About a month ago I created my family calender for my mom for Christmas. I came across a lot of pictures from over the past year. I miss my family. I miss my sister’s babies! I can’t wait to get to Africa to see them. I can’t wait even more so for them to move back to the states. The countdown is on, only 5 more months! YAY!

This picture is from when we celebrated Lucas’ 5th birthday in Africa at the zoo.What a great day. We rode camels, walked around, spent the day just with each other.

Anais on her first birthday with her mama (my sister). I can’t wait to see her when she comes home to house hunt in March/April.

This summer we will all be together for 8 weeks at the beach. I am looking forward to it!

Happy New Year Internets.

Kevin & Jen ~ Philadelphia Maternity Photographer

I did a maternity shoot a few weeks ago and I am just finishing up their post process. I want to give this couple a sneak peak! Their nursery was by far one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Correction their entire house was. The nursery was all hand painted by a local artist.

They had the coolest red couch in their dining room and I thought it would be the perfect spot to get some pictures.

Their only request was for some black and whites. So of course I have lots of black and whites for them.

The booties Jen is holding are what she wore home from the hospital and when she brings her daughter home she will wear them as well. I always love when babies wear something their parents wore as a babies.

The gallery should be up soon.

We’re Live…

The new Indigo Bleu Photography is Live! Still a few details to work out, but the site is up.

Please go check it out and come back to leave some feedback. I would love to hear what you have to say.

Mike & Sara ~ Philadelphia Engagement Photographer

I met Mike and Sara 2 years ago. We lived next door to eachother and spent almost every Friday night together for close to a year. We became instant friends and I am the lucky one that they picked to take their engagement pictures.

We started out at their beautiful new home.

We then headed over to Marsh Creek State Park.

While taking pictures we had an unexpected visitor join us.

On our way out of the park we pulled over right after we crossed over this bridge. As luck would have it there was a red barn behind this bridge.

We headed back to the house and did a little wardrobe change. It was back outside to the neighbors old truck.

Sara & Mike stay tuned for your full gallery.

 

 

New York

This past weekend I went to New York to visit with some of my favorite photographers. They are the photographers I have befriended because of 365. Some of us are doing it again. I must say that this time around I am really enjoying it. I am doing it for me, I am doing it to keep in touch with some of my favorites. It is not about the best picture it is about just getting out the camera and capturing my daily life.

So anyway I spent last weekend in New York State. Here are some of my favorite pictures.

My friend Tamme’s brother lives next door. He has a “man cave” in his back yard. The world’s greatest “MAN CAVE!”

So of course the girls and I had to invade the said “man cave”.

And of course a couple of self portraits!

 

So We…

I had the kids one night last week and we danced. Well we dance a lot. We also jump on the beds, play in our bare feet outside, have indoor picnics, and anything else that is fun.

We were dancing to some black eyed peas in this photo.

We danced and jumped on beds for atleast two hours tonight.

Tonight was a good night!

I love these two and can’t wait to meet their sibling who should be entering the world in early 2010!

Another Year Another 365 Pictures…

Over 3 years ago when I left my marriage I decided to find myself. I had lost that girl and knew she was in there. I knew she had so much to offer and I truly needed to not only find her but put her back together. It has been 3.5 years since I said good bye to the man I loved and the broken girl I was .

Three years ago I decided to join in on a photography group known as 365. It is about taking a self portrait daily for 365 days in a row. I completed it back in 2007 and I had met so many wonderful people. Through those people I have met more people. I am truly blessed. Some of my closest friends are from that chapter of my life. A group of us decided to go at it again. I succeeded once, failed once with in the first month, and figured that the third time was a charm. So here I am 13 days into it and loving it. Yes it is a lot, yes it takes time, but I get so much out of it. Not only do I get to form and grow relationships, I learn so much about myself. Life is truly wonderful. I am lucky and I am in such a wonderful place. I can’t wait to see what this year brings.

So I have posted a few of my favorite 365’s this time around.I will post more through out this year. I hope you enjoy.
