Your children are so beautiful! And boy are they lucky to have such a great photographer Mama to capture them on camera! 🙂
As always you amaze me Shawni. I always love your pictures!!!! I wish you could teach an outdoor class – I would love some tips from you! Your kids always look so cute – your eggs were so pretty – how did you do the cute designs on them. I’ll have to buy the same egg kit you do – you awsome!
Love the one of Lucy with her eyes all squeezed tight and the cute little smirk! But they are all darling. YUM!
Gorgeous kiddos!!!
I am curious about how you get your pictures, even snapshots, to look like they just popped out of a magazine. Is it all lighting? Do you have a camera setting you like to use? Or do you touch them up afterwards? LIke the highlights in your daughters hair — on all the pictures but especially the third one. How do you capture that? I am so ready for another class!
I just want to pinch Lucy’s cheeks!!
Adorable Shawni! Love those kids!
I am so glad I get to read your blog now. Your daughters are beautiful and your son too. But of course they have beautiful parents. Hope you remember me. You look the same as I remember you back when i was 13. Best of everything we wish to you,Madalina Icleanu (Sanders)
I just came across your blog – your children are beautiful! I just moved to Mesa from South Carolina so I new to the desert but I’m loving the landscape here.
Anyway, just thought I’d say hello.
