Charlotte's Grins and Giggles Club Session

Posted by posted by Kindra Monday, November 17, 2008 at

We met Andy and Sarah earlier this year through photographing baby dedications at our church. We instantly fell in love with their daughter, Charlotte. She's a very sweet, easy going baby.

Charotte joined our baby club, the Grins and Giggles Club. This allows her to come in for 6 sessions in the next 2 years and have a beautiful album in the end showing how she's grown during that time and all her cute expressions. This portrait is one of Kevin and mine's favorite from the day and it was one of the first ones we took. Her blue eyes are so adorable! I think she may end up being a supermodel someday because this was literally our first or second portrait of the day and Charlotte was charming us. She's a natural in front of the camera.

Here is another one of our favorites. Charlotte almost looks like a little doll here. So cute! We will be posting more portraits of Charlotte, Sarah and Andy within the next week so keep checking back!

I'll be posting some of my favorite images from this year's Valley Church Great Pumpkin Party soon. Until then, I wanted to show you that some of the images I created this year made it to the Des Moines Register!

I'm not sure whether they made it to print or not - I will be heading out in a few minutes to grab a paper. If they do show up and you see them, clip them for me!

You can see them online here.

Jenny's shower

Posted by posted by Kindra Sunday, March 09, 2008 at

Sunday, I went to my good friend Jenny's baby shower. Last year around this time, Kevin and I and 3 other couples from our church (including Jenny and her husband) were on a missions trip in South Africa. We all went there to help build a flat at an orphanage called Pines Christian Academy which reaches out to children who have lost their parents or careg

ivers to AIDS. We had an amazing experience there and the children who lived at the Pines and all the people we met changed our lives and perspectives forever. This year, Jenny and Tiffany (another girl from the trip) are both pregnant with their first child , are a few weeks apart in their due dates, and both are expecting boys. It's fun to see how much has changed in a year!

Jenny received lots of fun gifts including a pair of baby Crocs. I decided to go with the theme of Africa with my gifts to Jenny and bought her a cute lion t-shirt, an airplane sleeper, and an elephant baby book. Jenny and her husband, Kris, love Africa so much that they decided to go with a theme of giraffes for their baby's nursery.

We all had a fun time and are looking forward to meeting Kris and Jenny's baby boy in about a

month!
