Happy Mother’s Day

Happy mother’s day to all, even if I’m a little late.
Introducing today a very well “rounded” family. By rounded, I mean a lovely family, with a rich life. With my french upbringing, I’ve always been impressed with the way Americans raise their children. We, in France, have our children spend their childhood in school, classes last all day, and there isn’t much time left for extra scholar activities. In the US, early school release leaves afternoons free to practice sports, music… Americans are raised “complete”, our (I mean our, in the US) colleges and degrees are sought after all over the world, and children are developed in sports, they’ve had a chance to try out different ones, and find a favorite. It makes for well rounded people. Christine and Scott embody the american dream family, aside from all being insanely beautiful, they are accomplished in all field. Their children, Jacob (11 years old), and Gwyneth (6 years old) have already been exposed to many different team sports, individual sports and are both learning to play the guitar. Early in their life they are taught the discipline of daily practicing, to be rewarded I’m sure, with excellence. I can only imagine a bright future for this handsome boy and gorgeous little girl, armed with such precious values, and skills. Gwyneth was an angel to photograph, comfortable in front of the lens, so fun to work with and clearly the camera loves her! She has just amazing features, her generous (and I mean generous) gorgeous hair alone could win her the front page of any fashion magazine.

    Arielle, I had heard how amazing you were, but these photos speak more than words! I LOVE everything about the shots... lighting, composition, props, settings, dress/attire and of course, the subject matter :) given this is my daughter's family. Seriously, you are very gifted and it is very obvious in all the photos you took of the Baehr family and the other families and subjects you have shared on your blog. Thank you for sharing your artistic pieces of work with us!

    I came in from out of town last night to my surprise and delight, my precious grandchildren's pictures were taken as a Mother's Day gift to me. Yes, they brought me to tears. As a photographer myself, I truly appreciate how Arielle captured special moments which can be very hard to do and achieved such stunning results just "after school one day". I can't wait to see the ones of the Mom and Dad as well. Thanks to all of you for making my Mother's Day gift one I'll enjoy forever!

    As always, perfect! What a great family - him a future rock star - her a future model. I love your use of color (it is one of my favorite things about your work). However, I am so in love with these last two that they may be my favs in the bunch! They are just tender and beautiful. I am sure that they are thrilled with these!
