While I was photographing Julie and Mark’s rehearsal dinner, I also managed to get in a few shots of the Shields family. I have photographed Lisa, Rob, and their children several times over the years, so I wanted to get a few photos of their latest addition, Julian. I was especially pleased to do this, because I’d taken photos of Julian’s older brothers Ezra and Lionel when they were babies too.
Rob, Ezra, Lisa, Julian, and Lionel 🙂
I’d like to welcome the Jobe-Shields family back to the Shoot With Personality blog!
(Well, I sort of already did when I posted the instant photos from this photo session…)
A few years ago, I had multiple photo sessions with Lisa, Rob, and baby Ezra. They moved to North Carolina after that, and I had not had the opportunity to see them since their move. The last photo session I did with them was one with Lisa’s mom and siblings for Christmas 2010, when Ezra was about 7 months old.
Look at Ezra in 2010 – OH MY GOOOODNESSS
Fast-forward to 2013, and little Ezra is a rambunctious 3 1/2 old with a wildly awesome awesomely wild head of hair. Oh, and one more thing has changed since 2010: Rob and Lisa have a new addition to their little family: baby Lionel was born in August. And, lucky for me, I was called in to do a photo shoot with Lionel when he and his family were in Memphis for Christmas!
Meet Lionel!
Big brother and baby brother. So sweet!

Everyone!

I remembered from our 2010 photo shoot that the girls like to take silly in photos, so I let ’em go for it
Matchy-matchy sisters Naomi and Fay
Mimi and her grands!
Their reward for making it through so many photos: chocolate fudge!
Naomi’s justifiably happy to have her reward
I just COULD. NOT. STOP. with these pictures of Mimi and Lionel!
Oh, what’s that little hand on the back of the chaise lounge?
SOMEONE was being mischievous and making his way into the photos of his Mimi and his brother!
Ezra got a little photo time with Mimi too
Someone’s up to mischief again…
Ezra looks like he’s boogieing
I’m so glad I (and my camera!) had the chance to see this awesome family again. Lionel was sooooooo sweet, and I couldn’t believe how big Ezra, Naomi, and Fay had gotten since I’d last seen them!
♥♥♥
Well this was a treat!
I’ll share more from my baby session/family portrait session with the Jobe-Shields family soon, but here are some of the instant photos I took during my time with that family this week. What’s cool was, Lisa specifically requested Polaroids after seeing the ones I did during my session with the Jacksons last month. I’ve been loving the fact that I’ve had the opportunity to photograph people with an appreciation for instant film photography! For these, I was able to bring along my Polaroid SLR 680 SE and some of Impossible Project’s newest black and white and color films – actually, the color film is their special “silver frame” edition. I thought it appropriate for Christmas-y photos!
Ezra told me that this was the face he was going to make in all our pictures that day. It wasn’t 🙂

I already shared a few Polaroids from this year’s session with the Jacksons, but here’s a sampling from the rest of my session with Meagan, Mike and Ezra*!
This boy is SO beautiful!

Sweet kisses from Ezra
I think the Jacksons are secretly outerwear models and have just never told me

Ezra’s face in this one KILLS me!
P.S. The Jacksons used one of these photos for their Christmas card this year, and they used the card to announce that this will be their last Christmas as “three”! Congrats, Meagan and Mike!
