Thank You Brianna & Matthew!

I was working with some cool shadows here, someone commented that it looks like a CD cover! I like it! Can't wait to do it all over again this weekend!

Sisters!

Today was girls ONLY at Sarah Moore Photography! Thank you to Emma and Macy who came to the studio today showing off thier matching jerseys and pettiskirts! I love this photo because Emma looks so feminine and Macy is on her tip toes! What an adorable pair, I think this should be the next Gymboree Ad, so if anyone out there has a great uncle who owns Gymboree give them my number!

Thank You Lily & Anna!

Today Miss Lily came in to show off her new little sister Anna! I get lots of requests to do the t-shirt photos that say "big sister/brother" "little Sister/Brother". And its usually a pretty tough shot because the wording on a little onesie is so small and most times the sibling is not so good at holding without help! This is one way to photograph a under 3 with a baby. Lie them both on thier backs, bring them by a nice natural light source( i.e. window) and have the camera directly above them! Shows off the shirts and it shows off their faces, and it shows off Miss Lilys sparkling eyes and personality!

Congratulations Leah & Mark!

What a beautiful day for a wedding! Today I did a wedding on the beautiful campus of Iowa State on the campanile lawn. I always cry at every wedding, I can't control it and anyone who knows me knows this about me. The minister said the most beautiful but simple words today. She said that every wedding you attend as a married person is a renewal of your own wedding vows. Then it hit me-- that is exactly why I cry at every wedding! I cried through my vows ten years ago and I cry at some point every time I am at a wedding because I am renewing my own promises internally. How beautiful and lucky I get to do it so many times a year! Thank you Mark and Leah for letting me share in your special day-- it was truly unique and meaningful! Congratulations! My advice to the rest of you married folks is to attend as many weddings as you can! The image above makes me laugh, mostly because you couldnt get further from a Bridezilla than Leah, but she is a good sport, along with the entire bridal party! Thanks for the laughs!

A little sad...

Today I got the opportunity to photograph CJ and his daddy! It was bittersweet in that I was so pleased to capture thier images, but so sad to know that he will be leaving soon and these photos will likely be placed next to this little boys pillow for months to come. I can seriously picture him hugging the frame at night before he goes to bed. I can imagine his dad looking into a similar fram into those gorgeous eyes and offset grin and knowing that he does what he does so his little guy can sleep safe and warm. It give me goosebumps, It makes me so happy and so sad all at the same time. It seemed fitting that I get the chance to do a military shoot today since today marks my families LAST day in the US ARMY. Thinking about our military life which was ever changing, full of craziness was also full of so many wonderful people and places that I well up just thinking about it. 8 years flew by and my gratitude for my husband and for all the brave men and women who serve will never come to an end. I offer free sitting and a free 8x10 for every military family who is preparing for deployment. I Thank you, I really thank you on my last day as Mrs. Sgt Moore.
