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.

Love them. Its amazing what shots you can get. Ready to see them all!!! - Karrie Pettyjohn
All are absolutely pure JOY...Grady is my grandson!
…featuring the totally adorable and amazing, mielle (i’ve mentioned it before in her previous sessions…but, seriously, that’s the most amazing name.). although i had two other magnificently adorable faces to blog with this session, i chose mielle as the sneak peek because she’s a perfect example of what i love about photographing people. she’s just at the age where she’s learned to walk and she’s really good at…meaning, it’s all she wants to do. i always tell parents that this is the age in which the images are going to become much more photojournalistic in style. which is my very favorite way to shoot. i wish i would have had endless hours to follow her around and document her in her world.
i love the look on her little face. i could go on and on about what her sweet little eyes are saying.
this is what it looks like to be exactly 2 and a half years old. it’s all in the details. the sweet little hands, the toes, the skinned knees with the character band-aid, the posture, the teddy bear…all the details, rolled up together to make the whole package.
i wanted to show a picture of the face to match the rest of this little 2 and a half year old, but i feel like this shot has to stand alone…so, i’ll post the cute little face later.

love the scraped up knees, dirty toes, ink on fingers and arms, teddy bear (coming unstitched in the back). perfection! Not ...
bella and noah are busy little working models/actors and it was time for new head-shots because they’re both also very busy growing like little weeds (really cute weeds). some of the shots we took aren’t necessarily head-shot material, considering there are very specific needs for head-shots, but it’s not like i’m not going to shoot what my eye sees when i’ve got a couple of cuties like these in front of my lens. these are just a few of my favorite images.
