Life as ArT

Lizzie is Three!

Today is my youngest granddaughter's 3rd birthday.  Here's the cellphone image her mother posted this morning of Lizzie with big sis, Evie, and big brother, Max.  How absolutely adorable they are!

 
Lizzie is a funny, smart, pixie of a girl.  She loves to show off but can be bashful when she first meets a stanger.  Lizzie sings all the time and, a puzzle genious, can put together a puzzle at speeds to rival any adult. I know, I admit it - I'm an obnoxious grandmother, but I don't care.  While anticipating Lizzie's party this evening, I remember the day she was born and, well, you know - it's just amazing, a true miracle.  Read my post about Lizzie's first day.  Happy 3rd Birthday, Lizzie!

Easter Specials 2011

 

The 7 Ages of Childhood

Every child deserves a portrait history.  Capture the story of your child's lifetime in portraits through the 7 Ages of Childhood.  These times mark the most significant changes along the path from infancy to the early teenage years.

The 7 Ages of Childhood are:

• Baby's First Year - the most rapid physical changes occur
• Age 2 - who's talking now! - responds to reason, humor and action
• Age 3 - personality emerging; interacts with photographer
• Age 4 (to 5) - cute and endearing; displays individuality of character and action
• Age 6 (to 8) - permanent teeth arrive; more mature and inquiring
• Age 9 (to 12) - the awkward stage; physical and emotional development varies
• Age 13 (to 15) - teenager! - expresses individuality through interests, fashion

This is Evie at age 7.

Please call the studio at 765-564-4626 to learn more about creating a portrait history of your child.

It's All About the Face

I'm loving what appears to be a trend in newborn photography:  photograph the newborn sleeping (and naked, of course).  The baby needs to be less than 2 weeks old while they are still sleeping a lot and curling into the fetal position.  Once sound asleep, the photographer can move the baby into poses, some seemingly unlikely, with no arguments - usually.

 

OK.  But maybe It's not such a new trend.  Anne Geddes started photographing infants like this many years ago.  She was a pioneer in baby photography. 

Photographing babies is all about the face.  And what wonderful faces they are.  Love it!
