Curls…. Curls… Curls! Oh how I love thee. These sweet girls were just absolutely adorable! As previously mentioned, you know my long lost love for freckles and the littlest one did not disappoint with her small smattering of freckles. I was so happy that I was able to meet up with this family just prior to leaving from New Mexico as they are such a lovely bunch. The girls definitely did not lack in energy and oh how I wish I could have just an ounce of what they do!

This family is so full of laughter. I had a great time looking over the images we captured and dad has quite a few silly faces to show me. I’m positive mom will get a few extra laughs of her own. Their oldest girl is my nephew’s favorite and how could she not be? Those soft curls and gorgeous eyes should be the envy of every little girl. I cannot wait to see this family grow and to see how protective the sisters become of eachother!

These three kids were so much fun to work with. They were truly a great ending to my first day of mini sessions. It’s such a pleasure to work with siblings who are so sweet to eachother and seem to really enjoy what they are doing. I adored how each child had their own personality and was absolutely in love with the hairstyles of the girls. I know… random. Secretly I think I was so much in love with big sister’s haircut/hairstyle the most because I had a very similar haircut in middle school… sadly she totally owns it way better than I ever did. Big brother had the most amazing freckles ever! I’m such a sucker for freckles! Of course we cannot leave the littlest one out
either- who doesn’t think she looks like a little Cindy Loo-hoo?
Jen says: Aw! Cute bunch of kids. Love the pics. on 08.3.12 @ 9:18 am

This family was super sweet! Mom and Dad were so easy going and their daughter was highly entertaining. I really love it when I can interact with children and they make me feel like a long lost friend. This precious girl simply amazes me. She’s taking dance classes and will soon fill their home with the sound of tap shoes. Thank you again for sharing your family with me and I hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

While visiting my sister in New Mexico, I had a great chance to work with several families for mini sessions. I’m sure people wonder why I’d want to work on my vacation and I’d likely ask the same question. I love meeting new people and working with new locations. Working in the same environment over and over tends to lead you down the same road. I’m blessed to have had wonderful families who entrusted me with their family portraits.
This family was the first one from the day. Two little rambunctious boys definitely set the mood for a fun session. The oldest informed me of his superior tree climbing skills that truly made me jealous! The littlest one was quite the shy one, but boy did he give gorgeous smiles! I cannot wait for them to see their entire gallery soon.

Yes, it’s that time of year to start thinking about your holiday portraits. All holiday portraits must be held before Thanksgiving week in time to have products back in time for the holiday. The Lucky Duck Studio is trying to make it a bit more easier on those of you who are already in the process of thinking about your family portraits for the year. I know many families only get the whole family photographed once a year and typically it’s in the Fall. We’re introducing some Fall Petites (mini sessions) for those who wish to be ahead of the game and get some gifts already purchased.
A petite session is great for you if you’re thinking about trying custom boutique portraiture, but just don’t want the initial investment. These sessions last 20-30 minutes and take place at a designated location set by the photographer. Since these sessions are shorter in length, only one outfit is allowed and no more than 5 immediate family members. Petite sessions are not for newborns and any children being photographed alone should be at least 4 months old. These types of sessions provide a smaller number of proofs (images to choose from) and are paced rather quickly.
A traditional session lasts between 1-3 hours in length (sometimes more for newborns). These sessions allow for unlimited amount of clothing changes and you pick the location. Again, these sessions allow for up to 5 immediate family members with the option of adding additional members. More time means more proofs and a less rushed session. With traditional sessions we go with the flow. We give time for the little ones to take a break or have a snack or simply get some cuddles from mom. You’ll receive the full treatment with a traditional session from beginning to end. Traditional sessions also offer you the option of taking advantage of in person ordering sessions where we’ll walk you through the ordering, show you printed proofs of your images and help you design the perfect wall display!
