Toothless wonder!

Okay, so we may have a wee bit of an obsession with toothless sessions.  We readily admit it!!  But how can we help ourselves?!?  That gummy grin gets us everytime.  It may also be because it is such a short window of "cuteness" before those big, grown up pearly whites appear and alter appearances until kiddos "grow" into them.
We encourage all of our clients to come in for a toothless session and Leah's family did exactly that!!  Leah lost one of her top front teeth awhile back and had the other front tooth hanging there for quite some time!  Finally, it fell out (it may have had some help!) and we got her in to the studio for this session!  The extra fun part was that Leah got to help "art direct" the session by choosing her outfit and having input into the background used.  And it was all about just her!!!  The result?   You can see for yourself how darling the images turned out!!  Leah and her family will have a reminder of this fleeting moment in time with the portrait in her room!  Love it!!

A little bit of everything!

This session really did have a little bit of everything- a sweet baby boy, a darling older sister, a lovable pup and a family we have loved getting to know!  (and not to mention a little bit of Twins fever, too!!) Evan, who was just over 7 months at the session, could not stop smiling!  When we first met him during his mom's planning session with us, his infectious smiles and giggles captured our hearts!!  And he didn't disappoint us at the photo session either!!  Evan's sister, Halle, who is 11 years old, is such a doting and loving big sis!  It is hard to believe that Halle is only 11-so mature, poised and grown up with such a sparkle in her eye!!  And we can't forget Roscoe, their pet pug!!  What a cutie!!

We are looking forward to this fall when we see this family again for a location session at their new home!

A lot of love for Teal and Lime!

We heart Jackie, creator and owner of Teal & Lime and all of her creativity!!  We first met Jackie in early 2010 while she was pregnant with their second baby. Jackie, Jose and little Jose came to the studio for a maternity session and the rest is history!  Since then, we have followed their family as Baby Jax was born, learned to walk, talk and chase his big brother around!  Little Jose is now a big kindergartener who also plays tee ball!  And now, we love to follow Jackie's blog, Teal & Lime, and all of her fantastic home decorating ideas!  So when she asked us to create headshots of her for her blog, we were uber-excited!!

Here is how Jackie describes creating Teal & Lime:

"I started Teal & Lime in June 2011 as a creative outlet to share the projects I was already doing in our home. The dialogue of Teal & Lime had been playing in my head through all those projects, and I finally put into print. It is a journal of making a house our home. When I started Teal & Lime, I was still working in a confining cubicle for a large corporation…it zapped the life right out of me. I broke free at the end of 2012 to spend more time with my family and to grow Teal & Lime. I feel alive again! I get to spend lots of time with my two little boys before and after school. I get to work from my beautiful home in a light-filled, color-filled office. All the while, I continue on the journey of making my house a home and making it ours. I have been blessed to help others do the same in their homes."

Miroslavich Photography was fortunate enough to be featured on Teal & Lime earlier this year in Jackie's Be Inspired series:

We are constantly amazed and inspired by Jackie's flair and talent for home decorating and her passion for DIY.  It was incredibly flattering to be featured on her blog and we are so grateful that this family is a part of Miroslavich Photography's life!  We can't wait to see what the future holds for Teal & Lime- we know it was be fabulous!!!

Smiles that light up any room!!

Ross and Alyse are 5 year old twins who light up any room they enter!!  The studio was abuzz the morning they visited us for these special portraits!! It's not every day that your twin kiddos turn 5 and start kindergarten in the fall!!  We loved Ross' energy and spunk-and his love for his sister!!  It warmed our hearts!! And Alyse had all the attitude and spark of a 5 year old going on 15!!  We loved it!!  But mostly we loved creating these beautiful portraits for their lovely mom, Betsy, who inspires us with her grace and positivity despite all that life has thrown her way.  We know these images are lighting up her home and as much as her heart!
