We have had the pleasure of shooting Isabella’s Christmas Portraits for almost three years now. This time the adorable two-and-half year old came to our studio dressed in her Christmas best!

Isn’t she absolutely adorable? Isabella is always a pleasure to work with, and this time was no exception!

Below see some of our favorite photos

This afternoon we had a Basic Portrait Package with Bob, Kathy, and Jacquelyn. They wanted to have a portrait to put on their holiday cards, which we’ll be designing for them.

We won’t share the holiday card design on the blog, but we will show the portrait they picked:

Today we had an Ultimate Portrait Session with David, Rachel, Jennifer, Emily, and Michael. We had a lot of fun taking their portraits, and the results are phenomenal.

There are too many photos to show here, so we just picked a few of our favorites:

Our sessions are by appointment only, and today we had a last minute call from Christian, who needed a corporate headshot for some magazine articles he’s written. We were glad we could accommodate him. On his way home he came by our studio.

Here are two of our favorites:

We shot Jeremy and Handan’s wedding – it was a beautiful event and, as with many of our brides and grooms, we’ve kept in contact ever since. Today they visited us for a Ultimate Portrait Session.

The session was a great success — we tried different poses, we laughed, we reminisced. The results are awesome. I have many more photos to edit, but I didn’t want to wait too long posting on our blog.

All of us were interested in trying a very dramatic pose, with the appropriate lighting. This is the shot we came up with. It doesn’t reflect their great relationship, but I like it for its composition and dramatic lighting.
