Eyesmiles Photography-The Backstage Pass

Introducing....

Who am I to argue??

I had another shoot for an upcoming project (announcement coming soon).  I had this little guy posing with another model and he said "I want to do this with my sister!".  Well, who am I to argue when a 5 year old WANTS to pose with his sister??

Happy Weekend

Sorry I've been MIA.....lots of exciting things going on "backstage" right now.  But to counteract the crummy weather......some recent happy shots!

An idea is born...

  Ever since I posted the "Wow" post, I have been overwhelmed with responses from photographer friends saying how beautiful what Mom wrote was and what a great idea it is to ask this question:  "What do you hope to convey to  your children through these images?  When they look at these images with their children, what do you hope they see?"  So, it made me realize that THIS is what sets custom photographers apart.  You tell me what you need and I give it to you (:  I decided to start a new little thing based on the popularity of that post.  I will start out the blog posts with the quote from the parents answering this question.

I already "sneak peeked" these 2 families but I wanted to do it again with this new idea in mind.

Sydney's family:  Her daddy wrote the sweetest thing.  I know it's going to be a great session when I get answers like this (hopefully this won't embarrass him too much)

"I hope my children see what I see when I look at family pictures from my childhood.  I hope they see the love and pride that we have for each other as a family.  I hope they see happiness, pride and the love in our eyes and know that this was a special time in our lives.  I hope they see that there was nothing better for us than just being together."

Next is the Nick man:

"I want to capture Nick's joy-he's constantly doing things that make us laugh.  He's also full of energy so I would like the photos to have a sense of movement and show his dramatic personality."

And next is the S. clan:

"I hope to convey that we were a loving family that had fun. I want them to see through the pictures how much they were loved and how much their parents loved them."
