OCD and the Labo Fam

I think I have a little touch of OCD.  I have a hard time with odd numbers.  When I turn up the radio, it has to be on an even number.  When I edit photos, any sliders have to be set on an even number. I also like things to be even, for example, if I plant a flower, I have to plant another to mirror it.  I prefer things to equal.   Silly right?  I know, I make fun of myself all the time and I try really hard to stop on odd numbers and I let my husband plant a LONE tree in the middle of the yard (I secretly want to rip it out, but he thinks we have compromised)  Now your wondering why do you care?  I just wanted to give you a peek into my brain.

As promised, some photos from my recent shoot.


You may remember Roland, I took his picture before he had a baby sister. They are totally leaving for New York at the end of this month and I am going to miss them!

Here you can see Roland is really not feeling a family photo.
and he wasn't feeling it here either.

Dad did get him to smile for me:


You should know that even though Roland is a mama's boy, he loves his daddy:



So to the Labo family, Thank you Roland for smiling for me, thank you Vayda for being so adorable, Thank you Matt for fighting for our country and be safe out there, and A HUGE thanks to Amber for continuing to come to me for her photos! Have a safe trip to New York and visit me when your in MI!!!

For the rest of you stay tuned, I am getting a new lens hopefully tomorrow--and I got a wide angle extension and fish eye extension--there will surely be some new photos just for the fun of it!

Sooo......

My my my......yes I know this happens all the time, I am going to keep up with my blog, blah blah blah, right?  Lately, I haven't even been checking my email regularly--in fact, I just deleted over 500 messages, very un-like me.    So real quickly, I wanted to share these adorable babies first photos--then with any luck and a break in work, I can show you her big brothers photos too.

Here she is, Miss Vayda Raelynn:

She was such a tiny little angel. One day before she turned a month old! The whole family was here and Dad (Matt) was home on leave.
It was a very pleasant day and I really hope they fall in love with these photos as much as I have. There are many more photos to share, and it is my goal to have them done before the week is over! Keep your eyes open for new ones and If you don't see them, don't be afraid to give me a little shove!

One eyed flying purple people eater--No it was a Dog!

A few weeks ago Shelly said, "I would really like a new profile photo for my facebook page, Oh and I want my dog too". Can you guess what I said? I said sure!!! The only problem was, with my dogs I didn't want to bring her here to the studio. We choose the Arboratium--even though dogs are a no no--the flowers were just blooming and the trees were covered in blooms and the weather was great!





I had to get a close up of Annabella because she had the cutest under-bite--and she had decided that she was not going to make this an easy task for me.
Though there were many more photos from this session, this one was Shelly's favorite in the end.

It's such a cute little snuggling photo!

well...

There was a family photo shoot:





There of course was more photos but I think everyone gets the idea.
