emily, brand-new

Misty — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 17:34:01 +0000

newborn sessions just make me happy. the sweet newness is softening. it’s a privilege to look in from the outside as parents are gently learning about their brand -new wee one. i took a little drive across the valley to photograph baby emily on saturday, while she’s still tiny and new.
meet brand-new baby emily.

so happy and content in mommy’s arms and close to mommy’s voice.
the thing is, they don’t even know how cute it is when they cry.
a picture of true love and comfort.

it’s all in the details. i love her newborn skin.

well hello, bright eyes.

welcome to the world, emily.

the king of the wild things…

…is turning 1! can’t quite believe it but mighty-max is almost a whole year old. what a beautiful year it’s been for him and his family. maxi-pants has come a long way in just twelve months. take a look at their family blog here to see just how far.

i made the professional decision awhile ago to not blog more than 4 or 5 images per session, for several reasons. however, there are times when it just can’t be helped. so, sit back and enjoy the marathon.

i.love.max.

all that soft, glowy, buttery light combined with squishy baby lips and rosy baby cheeks…perfection.

and the lashes. oh, the lashes.

max is not only the king of the wild things, but the king of silly faces as well.

note the tower of blocks in the first of these two shots, then the happy/guilty smile in the second. getting into mischief of one kind or another.

i’m in love with that face.

“max is soooo big.”

this one’s especially for mom. max, for the most part, takes heavily after his daddy as far as looks go, but in this shot…he’s all mommy.

i’m out.

max, i love you mister. have the very happiest birthday in all the land.

baby-palooza

here’s a hodge-podge sneaky peek at baby-palooza weekend that went down here at mmp, recently. it was sooo much squishy, sweet, wrinkly, cuddly fun.

casting call

Misty — Mon, 24 May 2010 18:01:09 +0000

that’s right! i’m looking for some “models” for specific shots I need to complete a new portfolio. the models needed for this casting call are as follows: newborns no more than 3 weeks old (10 days or less is preferable), pregnant mommies-to-be (yep, it’s ok if the newborns come from these mommies), at least one pregnant mommy-to-be with prominent tattoo/tattoos.

i’m also looking for models for a brand-new style of session that i’m going to be offering very soon…something I am so excited about. these sessions will focus on capturing your child/children doing exactly what they do best…playing. the models i need for these shoots are 2-4 children or sibling groups in a variety of ages that are willing to do some fun stuff and be photographed while doing it.

Details on the Casting Call sessions:

1) the session will be free of charge. prints will be available to purchase at regular rates.

2) image(s) will be used for my portfolio/advertising/marketing purposes.

3) the session will focus on capturing a specific shot(s).

Please contact Misty for information.

ana and her crew

my favorite thing about this job? clients like these. laid back, ready to have fun, be ridiculous and goofy. meet ana and her crew.

ana and her three kids, cass, bryce and jace.

that’s a lot of pretty people in one family.
ana and her precious granddaughter, sophia.
that’s an abundance of cute in one little face.
and ana and her hermana, liz…who needs enemies when you’ve got sisters like this?

thanks for a great shoot guys! you were a blast to ramble around the park with.

that was fast

this is the fastest sneak-peek i’ve ever posted. less than an hour after the shoot ended! i had to do it. had to. why wait, right? i’m so head-0ver-heels for this shot. it’s a sneaky little shot i took of baby cohen loving his swing-set time.

just one more

Misty — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 20:26:17 +0000

i’m working on getting this particular little client’s gallery uploaded today…couldn’t help but post this shot when i ran across it again.

the johnston fam+2

Misty — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 19:10:08 +0000

the weekend’s over and it’s back to work! let’s get this work week started right, with a post of a super cool family. i’ve photographed for the johnston’s twice before and this time was a little extra special with the added bonus of casey’s sister, ashley and her little guy, grady joining us for a great session. i had a blast with these guys…grace never fails to deliver a super silly time, mielle was full of wonder and exploration and little grady was nothing short of perfection!

from R to L is casey, holding grace then caroline , holding mielle and ashley, holding little grady.

maybe my favorite…can’t decide.

little grady, see…perfection.
grace’s happy dance makes my heart do a happy dance.
mielle…being one. checking it all out.
i love how ashley beams for her boy.
grace has the best expressions. it was hard to choose a favorite, but something about this grace face just jumps out at me.

all together now, awwwww…

rare moment of repose for grace.
