			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the last three months I have learned a lot &#8212; I mean a lot. I always thought that I would not enjoy working with kids, especially younger ones. But I was <strong>so</strong> wrong&#8230;</p>
<p>Last weekend I had the chance to have a session at the <strong><a title="Phoenician" href="http://www.thephoenician.com/" target="_blank">Phoenician</a></strong>. I was trilled that my <strong><a title="Mark's Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30577024@N04/" target="_blank">husband</a></strong> agreed to go with me. I love having him with me when I go for a session &#8211; he is so knowable and I appreciate his advice on photo shoots.</p>
<p>As you can expect, it was hot (really hot) last weekend. I have never worked so hard on formatting photos (don&#8217;t worry, I won&#8217;t go into details &#8211; <img src='http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif' alt=':lol:' class='wp-smiley' />  ) &#8230;Well, one of the kids was sweet little 2-year-old Tyler. I really bonded with him on the session on <strong><a title="Blog Post" href="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/2009/06/little-boys-and-a-camera/" target="_blank">June 19th</a></strong>. He even gave me a hug this time&#8230;</p>
<p>Let me share some shots with him and his cousins that flew in from California for the holiday weekend&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Lee_19.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-412" title="Lee_19" src="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Lee_19.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="750" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>I just love this face. I told my client that I would like little Tyler as my model <img src='http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=':wink:' class='wp-smiley' />  .  You have to admit, his face is just too cute &#8212; oh and those sweet, big eyes&#8230;</p>
<p>Here is a shot all four kids &#8212; check out Tyler&#8217;s sweet expression in this shot &#8212; too cute <img src='http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Lee_15.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-411" title="Lee_15" src="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Lee_15.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="750" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>The next shot is of Kyrra and Bobby (Tyler&#8217;s older brother) &#8230;Loving it!!!! Check out Kira&#8217;s eyes &#8212; just marvelous&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Lee_29.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-413" title="Lee_29" src="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Lee_29.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="750" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>Okay, now I need to find some girls to photograph&#8230;Check out this sweet shot. Her eyes are just stunning, don&#8217;t you agree?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Lee_39.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-414" title="Lee_39" src="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Lee_39.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="750" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, it has been taking me a while to get this site up and running, but now &#8220;Here I Am&#8221;&#8230;Iris Nelson Portraits is open for business <img src='http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So far, I had the opportunity for two photo shoots. The first one was a while ago &#8211; May 3rd. A friend had asked me to take some photos of her kids (teen/tween). To tell you the truth &#8211; I was nervous as anything. Although I have been taking photos for over a year, portraits was a new adventure&#8230;</p>
<p>Darcy&#8217;s kids are a lot of fun; I actually had a hard time keeping a straight face&#8230;Here are some of the shots I took. The first photo is Paul &#8211; he had me in stitches the entire time..</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Paul_8.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-446" title="Paul_8" src="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Paul_8.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="367" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Next is Ricky&#8230;I really had a hard time getting him to smile&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Ricky_10.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-447" title="Ricky_10" src="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Ricky_10.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="367" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Marissa is beautiful, and shy&#8230;<strong>but</strong> I did get here to smile <img src='http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Marissa_4.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-445" title="Marissa_4" src="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Marissa_4.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="367" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Here is the last one &#8212; a family shot (have to work on my skills to get three active subjects to be still and smile at the same time <img src='http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif' alt=':lol:' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Astrain_1.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-443" title="Astrain_1" src="http://www.inelsonportraits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Astrain_1.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="367" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Let me know what you think&#8230;Hopefully by the middle of the week I have some photos of Alexis&#8217; photo-shoot to share with you. Alexis is gorgeous and out of the 90+ shots I took of her, 85 came out marvelously&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Until than&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Iris</p>
