This Is the Dream



Click the picture
— or click here —
for Tracey and Mike’s family session.

When the show is finished it will jump back here where you can answer a tree-related contest question to win the family an 8×10 print. Have fun!

In the picture above, the youngest child is featured. I was a youngest child and there are very few pictures of me, so I tend to make sure the youngest is well covered!

(No offense, mom.)

;)



Love the attitude. So cool.



I’m not sure if this qualifies as a signature “un-portrait” but I love it!



This one cracks me up. Look at Mike’s face!



“Let me in, mom and dad!” (Classic.)



You know I love it when I manage to get kids to cooperate in the extreme close up shots!



I was very happy because these guys were very cooperative! Yay!



I am always on the lookout for a spontaneous mother-son moment.



I love shots that show basic everyday activities as simple as pulling a shirt over a child’s head. They grow up so fast.



Love the colors in this one, and there’s something strangely symbolic too.



Ok, here’s an unportrait you can’t get at the mall. I love the simplicity of the image, but in reality it was like pulling teeth to get everybody to sit still for a second!



HERE’S THE CONTEST QUESTION

What kind of tree is that?
(Hint: It’s one of my all-time favorite kinds in the entire world and I’m so jealous that Tracey and Mike have one in their back yard. I need a bigger yard.)

Tracey and Mike, I had so much fun with you and your family that day!
THANK YOU!
:D

  2. I knew you’d say that about the song, Stacey. I had another song all picked out but Tracey really liked yours. I’m saving that other song for next time, Tracey! :)

  6. Kathryn!

    You are RIGHT! Thanks for commenting and checking out my blog! I LOVE that kind of tree. Beech trees are gorgeous and long-lived. My perfect tree. Tracey and Mike, be sure to thank Kathryn for the extra print credit I put in your gallery today!

  7. Beautiful things appear each time I enter your blog. While I cannot study them in detail, the overall impression I get is that you are a most talented mamarazzi in every respect. Congratulations and love.
