Birthday potraits! by Mindy Ravines Photography

Friday, October 7th, 2011

I’ve joked with her mom saying, “I will be photographing Macey’s wedding.” I’m not kidding….I have photographed Macey for 4 years now & am totally attached. She’s adorable & growing into such a fun spirited little lady. Macey has a sister (who is now 1 yrs old & this is my 2nd time photographing her) who is ‘Miss Independent!’ I love to see a toddler walking around with those chubby thighs exploring all that’s around them. It’s such a great reminder of life & how new & exciting it can be every day! Here are some of my faves from our shoot.

Birthday portraits!

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

Personally I do birthday portraits for my children every year. They know it’s coming & love me even though I make them play model every year…they’ll thank me later.  I delivered them so I feel I can ask this of them right? I don’t have the ‘I was in labor with you for 16 hours!’ story…both were abnormally fast deliveries (my husband is so thankful for that!).  In fact (with our first born) when I gave my husband THE LOOK along with the knife hand across the throat he quickly got the message ‘me being on my cell phone might be an issue while I’m supposed to be massaging my ever-so-beautiful-wife’s back!’ I digress…if you can’t afford to have your child’s birthday portraits made by a professional photographer then by all means DIY (do-it-ya self!). You can not afford to let these precious changes go undocumented. I already miss Max’s soooooo spaced out baby teeth…they were such cute little chickletes! Anywho, here are sweet Megan’s ‘I’m 3!!!’ photos….she is so stinkin’ cute if my husband & I wouldn’t be outnumbered….I’d have another! I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again…..I prefer man-to-man defense…moving to a zone defense is not in my plan…hugs & kisses!
