Frozen Halloween Costumes

We had Frozen Halloween Costumes this year! Who else was Frozen this year? Or should I ask who wasn’t Frozen this year? Frozen Halloween Costume I really like doing the coordinated family costumes. I wonder how many more years I can do that. Elsa- Costume from Amazon. We threw a white shirt underneath her dress. Olaf- Beanie from Target. White linen pants from Janie & Jack that we already had. We put on a white button up shirt and I taped black felt buttons to his shirt. Anna- Already owned the blue dress and black shirt. I added a white streak to my hair and sewed the cape. Kristoff- sewed his tunic. All fabric’s were purchased from Joann’s. I basically looked at Anna and Kristoff outfits and picked a few things that I thought would make it look like them with out going all out on the costumes. Anna the color of cape and dress were important to me. The only embellishment I added were the pom- poms. Kristoff I felt like the pink color on his tunic and the FUR is what made him “Kristoff.” I used an old t-Shirt as a guide for Kristoff’s tunic. I completely winged the cape. I was so happy we took the time before Halloween to go out and take a group shot before the hustle and bustle of the 31rst.

Happy Halloween.

 

At Home/ Jacksonville Lifestyle Photographer

This at home lifestyle photography session is one of my favorites because I really felt like I got to know who I was photographing. I got to see this little boy in action. I got to see how busy he is and what he likes to do. How many pictures do you have of your kids? A million plus right? How many pictures do you have of yourself playing with your kids? Probably not as many. It’s important to make an effort to be in front of the camera. You were there too! Not only were you there but you are a big reason why there is a smile on your kid’s face. This pretty mama is actually a wedding photographer who recently moved to North Carolina. If you want to be blown away by some stunning wedding images check out Marcie Meredith.

I can’t believe how many activities this kid did in a short amount of time. They played with cars, read superhero books, worked on a puzzle finished the session drinking some Naked Juice. What a fun age this little man is at right now.

Celebrate Me with Running/ Jacksonville Lifestyle Photographer

Do you remember the celebrate me series? This series is supposed to highlight other aspects of your life that you might not normally photograph. I want to show what activities make you. These running photos are of the same girl who did Barre and who is the mother of these children. She blogs over at Marathon Momma.

It was a beautiful morning for a run and to take pictures. We took them in a few different locations in Ransom Canyon. It was a treat to see the Texas Longhorns in the background and at the very end of the session a dog started running in the photos as well.

We woke up before sunrise to get these photos done. I snapped a few portraits of her and then she started running. Actually the photos are not just of running, I wanted to tell a story. As a runner myself, I know there is a lot more to running than the actual run. There is stretching, meditation and preparation (eating and drinking) for runs especially long ones. After taking these photos and seeing her blogging partner’s instagram, I really want some running pictures of myself. I absolutely loved photographing her and want to photograph more people running and being active. Run-1 Run-2 Run-3 Run-4
