sixth grade portrait collection | exclusively by michelle castro photography

In August my oldest daughter started her LAST year of elementary school!  I’ve been dreading this since . . . well, basically, since she was born!  So . . . as a photographer/mama I can’t separate the two parts of me and I’m instantly drawn to capturing her and this precious time in her life!  I really can’t think of a time where the changes will be so vast . . . I feel like these first 11 or 12 years have been very dependent, she’s needed me for everything . . . from food, shelter, clothing, all of it . . . we have provided and now . . . she’s getting ready to spread those wings a bit . . . next year, she will be off to junior high and I won’t be on the campus every day, I won’t be asked to help out in the classroom, she will be responsible for more of her work and life, and I will PRAY, PRAY, PRAY, that what her daddy and I have taught her has sunk in and that she will make wise choices!!  Well . . . that was a bit more emotional than I had intended . . . all of that brought me to creating the 6th grade portrait collection!   Although, it is my own daughter who brought me to create this I have yet to do her full session . . . isn’t it always the way! ha!!!  But, here is my beautiful model!  We had the best time!  I’ve had the opportunity to photograph this sweet girl for the past couple of years!  I love her and her family!!! So much fun!!!

landis family | maternity session | santa clarita valley photographer

The anticipation of a new life is such a precious time!  There is something so sweet about being able to capture those moments of anticipation!  I loved spending the evening with the beautiful Landis family!  They are eagerly awaiting the birth of their second little one and I LOVE that they don’t know if they will be bringing a boy or girl home with them!!! I’m a total traditionalist and I LOVE that sweet moment when you meet your baby AND find out if you have a son or daughter all at the same time!!!  I can’t wait to meet their little one in a few short weeks!!! Enjoy the sweet preview!

madelynn + mama + disneyland = perfection | disneyland photographer

To say that I LOVE Disneyland may just be a SLIGHT understatement!  It’s not that I like crowds, over priced food, and lines . . . it’s that I LOVE the look on the faces of my kids when we pull up!  It’s priceless!  When I was a kid we went once, maybe twice, a year and we would get there when the park opened and shuffle to the car after the park had closed.  Some of my fondest childhood memories take place at Disneyland . . . every trip would end with my mom and I searching for the perfect figurine to add to my collection.  And then . . . I grew up and a new group of kiddos joined the family . . . I can remember being there when my nieces (now 19) went for the first time . . . the joy on their face was PRICELESS!!!  I LOVE that look!  The look of awe, pure joy . . . the sweet look of  [c h I l d h o o d]!  So . . . I certainly take my older girls out of school plenty and head down to Disney, but sometimes it’s fun to just get away with the little one!  And that’s JUST what we did . . . off to Disneyland/California Adventure we went on Wednesday . . . actually brought the [BIG] camera and documented the day!

 

Oh . . . the many faces of this girl!
