Last fall I did a pregnancy shoot with Miss N and then, just before Christmas, had the thrill of doing another when the baby was about 2 months old.
Then they asked me to do a Family photoshoot in January. (I remember thinking - oh, the light would be so much better in May but then remembered - we can't ask a baby to stop growing till the light is right. Pity.)
That day in January was almost too bright. I had visions of propping everyone near the window but had to pick the far wall on the sofa as the room was flooded with sunlight.
But I think no matter what light this family was in - they are just one gorgeous family!!!
(Sorry about the sizing. New blog. Still getting the kinks out.)
I should be posting this on my photography site except it's still not up yet. (I'm working on it.)And even though this is my family blog - I felt I had to share this family with you.
This photoshoot was just a total pleasure!
Stop over at Lisa's and check out all the photog offerings there.
Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!

Beautiful Wanda! I love the shot with the apples and the one where mom and dad are looking at the baby and the kids at you...priceless! Actually all the pictures are priceless! You rocked it girl!
Beautiful family! love the B&W photo.
What a beautiful family and gorgeous pictures!! Me thinks you captured the light beautifully in their living room! The baby is so big already! Can't believe how quickly time flies! It seems like yesterday when you were doing her maternity shots!
I like the apples too. What a fun & inexpensive prop!
Oh, that last mother-daughter shot is stunning, Wanda! You did a fantastic job with the photos. :) I'm sure the family must have been pretty happy with all these wonderful pictures!
I just can't stop GAWKING at how gorgeous this family is....they just take my breath away!! I love how you captured them all together. I can feel the warmth and I know you must have had a blast with them. The apple picture was FANTASTIC...it made me smile and the pop of color was just perfect.
I can see why they want you again and again...your photos are absolutely gorgeous!

Gorgeous family that you captured SO beautifully, Wanda! love the one with the apples...hey what am I talking about. I love them all very much. I'm sure they did too!!!!
hugs,

What a beautiful family!! I am sure they are in love with all of these!! Great job, Wanda!!
Oh my goodness Wanda! What a beautiful family! I remember seeing them before and I always thought they were lovely. Babies are pure deliciousness! :)
Your picture size looks perfect. I have to tell you the truth...I think blogs that are not in one are too much work : ). I barely ever click over to a special photography blog unless it is one of my very favorite friends! I have also heard from families that they would rather be on my main blog because that is where all the action happens! If that is what they like then far be it from me to disrupt their wishes!
That is just my opinion though...and what do I know? Not a whole heck of a lot!
What a beautiful family so perfectly captured! I am so glad you decided to share these with us..... it looks like you had loads of fun with them. The light is just perfect..... well done my friend:)
Hope you have a great night.....and you will definitely be missed this weekend~
xoxo,

Holy cow, Wanda! I am blown away, First of all... could this family be ANY more gorgeous????? Love all of them but the one of the whole family with the father holding up the baby is awesome. I feel like I am right there. AND... I just LOVE the unexpected pop of green from the apples.
Way to go, chica!

WOW. These are fabulous pictures, I love the apple picture. You are seriously working your magic.
How rewarding is this? Is there anything you can't do well???? I didn't think so.
I bet they loved every shot.
The butterfly photos are also stunning. Spring is definitely makiing it's presence known, but about a week and a half later Summer shows up with major attitude and kick's spring to the curb and stays for 6 months.
Aren't you glad you don't live in Texas?
Love everything.
