The G Family│Sacramento Family Photographer

It may be March but I've been a neglectful blogger the last few months and still have some of my Fall family sessions to share with you.  If you've missed seeing what's going on I suggest you find me here on Facebook where I've been more active in posting and sharing news.  "Like" my page and be kept up to date on all the latest with MNP!

This family is near and dear to my heart as they were the first official clients of Mindy Newton Photography.  I've photographed them for maternity, newborn, 6 month and family sessions and always love working with them and our end results.  They're a beautiful family overflowing with love...and hoping to one day soon share that love by adopting a child.

I loved trying out these locations with you guys and hope you've been having a blessed 2012!

There are no words to describe how adorable these two 4-year old girls are!  With their gorgeous complexions, bouncy hair and fun-loving personalities - our session was filled with smiles and I'll let the images tell the rest of their sweet story...

The Way I View...│Sacramento Family Photographer

It's hard to believe a month has passed already and here we are in March ready to share the February round of "The Way I View..." with 12 other amazing photographers I've met through Clickinmoms. Don't forget to click over and see Breanna Peterson's point of view and continue clicking through to see all 12 photographer's views for the month.

February's theme? Sweetness and love.

As I thought of what I wanted to photograph to express this theme I was left with many different ideas, but not a lot of time left in the month to execute them.  Then as I was reviewing my February images there were a few that jumped out at me right away as perfectly fitting for expressing how I view sweetness and love.

First off were these two images of my 3 1/2 yo daughter at her first day of dance class with her older and much adored cousin.  These two girls could not love each other more and my heart always flutters when they see each other, be it only a day or hour since they've been apart, and tightly embrace with the innocent and all encompassing love only a child could express for another.

The other two images that stood out to me were of my son and his kindergarten teacher when she came for a home visit.  We received a letter stating the kindergarten teachers were available for home visits on a voluntary basis, a program that exists in hopes of fostering more open communication between parents and teachers.  We felt comfortable with the amazing Mrs. Randazzo already, but knew Myles would be beyond excited to have her come for a visit and we were right!

At the end of a very difficult day where we found out Myles' teacher's long-time teaching partner and friend had terminal stomach cancer, Mrs. Randazzo still gave of herself and came to our home visit.  For an hour and a half she delighted Myles letting him be her tour director and entertainer, letting her overwhelming love for children and teaching flow out and make our little boy's day!  Maybe even his year!  This joyful experience for him, during a tragic day for her seems the epitome of sweetness and love.
