Sisters...

During this photo-shoot we were racing against the weather trying to get as many shots as we could before the rain broke through those nasty clouds.  It was sweet to watch how aware these sisters were of each other.  At one point a big gust of wind came through and the older sister wrapped her arms around the younger as a protection.  How beautiful this relationship could develop into.

The Big Sister

Little Kami...

Kami I see so much of you in this little sweetheart!

Random...

When all is said and done, I am not always satisfied with how each photo-shoot went. There is always something I could have done better, and I learn something new each and every time. Although, there are always those random shots that just make me smile...

It sure is tough being a little brother....

Even Uncle Arthur feels the pain... ;)

There is nothing like capturing the relationship between grandma and grand-daughter. They had the cutest little relationship...always swapping glances, and whispering secrets.

Thank you so much Emma! I am happy I got to meet your family while they were visiting. You all are such beautiful people!

Little Roo

Little Roo is such a cutie, although he was a bit harder to catch smiling...most the time he was looking at me like a deer in the head lights. :)  

The next few pictures are with his God-father and uncle Arthur.

Such a sweetheart!

Energy!

This child is GORGEOUS!  And WOW does she have a ton of energy...she had us running all over the place to catch her sassy little personality.  She would run, run, run, and then strike a pose and I had to be there to catch that split second moment before she was off again.  SO FUN!

Alright Emma there will be more to come...

Something to say...

Wow what a busy week!  All I have to say is THANK YOU Pennsylvania for keeping me busy!!!

This little guy kept me laughing, he had SO MUCH to say!!!  I heard about all of his favorite movies, toys and his good pal Mater from Cars.  The following pictures are of the smiles I caught in between the stories.  Most of the pictures are of him talking, which brought out so many expressions...they are so darling Kathleen, I can't wait for you to see them! I will post more as I edit.  

I have had many people ask me why I shoot in RAW + JPEG instead of JPEG only.  Here is the reason.  More times then not I get the lighting completely wrong and my white balance looks terrible!  With RAW I can adjust the white balance, exposure, color correction, crop adjustments, etc. before editing in Photoshop (PS). Here is a before and after...

Christmas Cards...

Hello Friends,

I have received many emails asking if I will be designing Christmas Cards. The answer... YES! Although, I will not be printing this year. If you choose to purchase a card design the cost will be $20.00 each for the copyright on a cd. I also have envelopes available for 10 cents each.

When I went public with this blog, I took all my card templates off this site because I didn't want my customers names exposed to the world. If you are interested in a custom card design please send the following to christina.cosby@gmail.com

1. 1 -6 Pictures

2. Information you would like included on the card (names, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, etc.)

3. 4x6? or 5x7?

4. Any special requests (card design, colors, fonts, etc.)

For all my friends in far off lands I will ship!! ;)

Thanks everyone for keeping me busy.

Christina
