Just a little #tbt action for today; I took this picture of my daughter almost 6 years ago in one of her first photo sessions. She was the one I learned how to take baby Pictures on and she has always Been a great subject ;). Plus she is super cute!
I had the opportunity to recently to go to Baby M’s house and take her 4 month old pics. I was there for her newborn pics – they can be seen here.
This session was all her own and she was just so dang sweet and cute and happy we got awesome shots of her. She lasted for a really long time and really never fussed. There are some just captivating pictures of this sweet little baby girl! I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them 🙂
This shot was so fantastic. We simply tried placing her on her tummy to see how she would do – and check this out!
Here she is on her tummy!
Here is another – She may be a ham – but I will take it…she, at 4 months old, has a great personality and the camera loves her!
How does this pose work Miss Paige?
I love this one too.
Let’s try a little Sepia
A change of clothes
Black and White baby!
I played with the one picture to see how I liked it. I did some of the more traditional colors and then tried some dramatic ones as well. I think baby photos should be more soft and delicate but sometimes the dramatic look can be neat as well. Here is Baby M…with a little different look.
A little more dramatic look for this baby girl
Just cracking up man!
This is just a taste – the full gallery of her baby photos is up on my website located here.

We have all been there…at least I know I have. You get ready for your family photos with your little kids and once you step foot out of the car and start shooting, things get unpredictable. But when the unexpected happens, it is better to just roll with it because you get some great, unexpected pictures! So at this shoot, we just kept improvising and ended up with some of the greatest, fun shots of all time!
So knowing that with little kids, the time window is short – I went in order of importance. We got the all family photo done first. The kids were all smiles

Then we got the individual pictures done – everything was working great! The twins went first to give the littles a break.

Next Big Brother
Here is big brother
Next – the littles. These guys are fun 🙂 Creativity is the key when photographing little kids
I started calling her “MIss Sassy Pants” this is why 🙂
As I worked with Miss D I started getting some fun shots
Miss D.
Miss D. was quite the Diva…she was having a lot of fun, BIG smiles and lots of giggles, and a tiny amount of sass! I got a lot of fun pictures of her!
Here Miss D…had been mad and tired of having her pic taken…I talked her into just a few more!
Then one last effort with the little man yielded this fun photo of the little Mr.
All smiles for Little B!
So we were mostly done – but we decided to try a couple more shots of the whole family …..and then ……well this happened!

THE KIDS WERE DONE! – So we decided to go with it and this wonderful photo came out as a result.
Here is the last shot – we tried to get all 4, this was the result. Priceless 🙂
So then this happened
And that was a wrap ….it was a fun time actually, we got some unique photos. As we headed back to the cars Miss D., who was a little overtired just sat down to pout…she should know better to act up when I am around with a camera 🙂
Miss Sassy Pants melt down
Then she noticed me and frankly I was a little scared. Miss Sassy Pants – was no longer sassy – she was simply not happy! But I got a hug anyways 🙂
Miss D so scary! © Paige Donahoe
And that is it…It started out great and then as the kids grew tired or hungry and then we got different shots – but all together memorable and fun!! You never know what you are going to get at a photo shoot with kids and at this one I think we did pretty good with some fun littles!

This family lives close and stays close! They have a great story in that they all immigrated from Russia many, many years ago and with little more than perseverance and a lot of hard work, this family succeeded and actually lives the American Dream. I LOVE how much fun they were. They truly understand that with kids and a lot of people, you just have to go with it to get the right pictures. Kid’s pictures can be tough, but I had no problems, Family Photos can stress some big families out, but not these guys, they wanted to have fun and enjoy the great outdoors here in Southern California whilst having family pictures taken.
A good group of people! © Paige Donahoe
Being able to shoot on a sunny day by a lake is a good day! Enjoy the whole family and the individual families in this fun fall family photo shoot!
Isn’t this how brothers often see their sisters?

As families get older and people get jobs and families of their own, it is harder and harder for them to get together and when they have a member of the family that lives half way across the world, those times that they can get together are precious and often few. Such as the case with the Knappe Family. One of their son’s lives in Germany so when he came home for a visit with his mom and dad, it was a perfect opportunity to have family photos done. So without further adieu here is a sample of their family photos!
Here is the immediate Knappe Family.
