Young Artist Extraordinaire

Meet Maxim - a very special boy with a special gift for drawing. I met Maxim in my daughter's preschool class a few years ago, and even then Kate told me that Maxim was "really really good at art." Well, we got together this week to capture some images for his website, www.maximsart.com, and I couldn't believe how incredible his drawings were. He was kind enough to let me take some home with me to keep. I'm sure they'll be worth a lot someday!

We had a great time just hanging out at the park, capturing Maxim doing what he does best. If you want to see more samples of his artwork, just check out his website (www.maximsart.com) and also the cool shirts he is wearing.












We brought in "Ted the Turtle" for inspiration and laughs. Maxim was so excited to see him!





Couldn't help but grab a few shots of his little sister - isn't she cute? And a budding artist as well.

It's beginning to feel a lot like...

FAMILY PORTRAIT SEASON! I just love capturing families - seeing the loving connections they share. I feel so uplifted and grateful for all that "my families" have to share by way of example. I always go home so ready to take on my own family - dinner, bedtime, loves and snuggles! And this beautiful family had more than its share of love to go around, so I took some home with me! And can you believe these gorgeous kids? I told mom that she must have paid extra at the hospital to get such beautiful kiddos. Thanks for sharing your busy day with me, "R" family! And I will have your pictures done soon.


This was the result of our attempting to get the "now hold hands and walk down the beach together" shot. I guess I should have mentioned they were all supposed to be going the same direction :-)
