moving away . . .

Posted on December 23rd, 2009 by jen rau. Filed in Uncategorized, portrait photography

is always hard. you build a life and then you pick up and move it and all its working parts. but when family is the most important thing in the world to you, you have baby number four on the way and moving means cutting dads commute by 2-3 hours each day, you do it.
i will miss all you so very very much and will be an often guest room crasher.

the fantastic mr. fox . . .

Posted on December 15th, 2009 by jen rau. Filed in Uncategorized, fox, portrait photography

rocked out this christmas shoot.
as much as this looks like some horrible stage mom primping and posing this is pure fox and honestly took 15 minutes. hopefully aunty sarah will comment and attest to this fact. he is some sort of freak natural at posing and pretzel making?! these are my favorite four pictures of him i have ever taken. merry christmas.

I will attest indeed. #3 is my favorite. Amazing. I <3 him

jen Dec 17th, 2009 at 9:54 am

#3 will be a fat canvas. such a cute little freckled boy in this shot. he makes me melt despite dealing with all his defiance and whining too :)

Gloria Plunkett Dec 18th, 2009 at 12:31 pm

I’m in love. ;) So cute!
