Twins!

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 03:05:00 +0000

I had the pleasure of photographing another set of twins today! There is just something so magical about twins, and these two were no exception. Their happiest moment of the day was sitting on a little bench, holding hands and giggling! I think they kind of like each other ; )

The "N" Family

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 20:49:00 +0000

I had a great session at Elmwood this morning. It was chilly, overcast and humid, but this fun family came full of smiles and ready to have fun! They giggled and interacted the entire time; I just happended to be there with my camera to capture it all!

Brian

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 05:52:00 +0000

I love it when teens are up for anything! Brian was game for laying on the ground in busy downtown as well as tromping through a field of tall grass. We had a blast and got some great shots!! Here is little a sneak peek.

Nolan & Taylor

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 23:42:00 +0000

We loved the photos of the girls so much, we decided to go back and get some of the boys!

Friends

A couple more of Brooke and Riley.

New prop for high school seniors

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 04:05:00 +0000

We took my husband's 1959 Chevy Apache out for a joy ride to snap a few shots. I love how they turned out!

Playing in the Park

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 22:33:00 +0000

This was my first shoot at the Heartland of America Park in downtown Omaha. It is such a beautiful park filled with tons of colorful trees and a small lake. I got to play with this sweet family as we strolled through the park scoping out the perfect spots.

Sweet Baby Grace

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:22:00 +0000

Grace was such a tease! We worked so hard to get her into position and she'd throw her arms and legs in the air. Then we'd be ready to reposition her and she's just lay there and not move a muscle. And when we least expected it, she'd smile!!

Whisper

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 04:06:00 +0000

My little sister paid me a visit last week, so of course we had go go out and play!!!

Addyson

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 22:03:00 +0000

At 7 weeks old, little Addyson is one strong-willed little girl! Every time I put her head one way, she’d pull it the other. If I put her on her belly, she’d roll on to her side. If I swaddled her, she wanted out. If I took her blanket off, she wanted it on. She just made me giggle! I think she’s going to be a very confident and independent young lady…and not let anyone tell her what to do!

Miss Brynn

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 04:17:00 +0000

I had so much fun playing with little Miss Brynn this morning. She is a beautiful and energetic two-year old little princess who adores her sparkly shoes! Her mother and grandmother were my helpers today and did a fantastic job of keeping her entertained and looking my way!

Mister & Misses

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 04:03:00 +0000

This was a small portrait session at a local park just prior to their ceremony. The forecast called for rain showers, but we were fortunate that the rain held off. It was still a bit dark and dreary, but everyone was in good spirits. These two laughed and giggled, kissed and held hands, and you could just see the love they share. Congratulations Mister & Misses!

Nolan & Taylor - age 3

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:51:00 +0000

I get all teary-eyed just thinking that they start preschool next week, but at the same time I am very excited for them! They talk about "school" everyday and wake up each morning ready to go! Then I have to break the news that they aren't going until next week. To make up for not going to school today, I promised that we'd go to the park (I brought my camera along just in case). They absolutely HATE having their pictures taken, but every once in a while I can get them to both look and smile ; )

This is what happened when I asked Nolan to give his brother a hug!

Meet Jack

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:15:00 +0000

It was beautiful at the park this morning, and I had the pleasure of photographing an adorable one-year-old little guy named Jack! He was all smiles, thanks to his mommy tickling and playing with him. Look at those big blue eyes! He's a charmer!

Lilly

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 19:10:00 +0000

Have you ever met a tiny little peanut that just stole your heat from the moment you met? Little Miss Lilly kept me smiling throughout our session. She surprised us all when she slept for so long and allowed me to capture some pretty cool shots! Here are a few of my favorites...

I'm Back!

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 04:43:00 +0000

Well, we survived our long drive to and from Lake Michigan with two teenage girls and three-year-old twins. We had a fantastic time at the beach and enjoyed the company of several family members.
With our vacation behind us and school starting this week, it's beginning to feel like summer is over! The stores are all filled with school supplies and fall clothes, and before you know it snow will be on the ground! I guess that means Taylan Brooks Photography better get prepaired for fall!
I recently posted the fall mini specials on the website. Hop over there and take a look! As always, the mini sessions are limited, so if you are interested in doing a mini, BOOK SOON! The cutoff for holidays cards is November 15th, so fall spots will fill fast.
I look forward to seeing you soon!

Meet Riland

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:40:00 +0000

Little Riland is such a sweetheart! He let me bend and twist him into all sorts of positions and he slept through it all. Look at that sweet face!

Twins!

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:41:00 +0000

As a mommy of twins, I have to admit that I get a little excited whenever I get the opportunity to photograph twins. Grace and Klaire remind me a lot of my boys in that their little personalities are completely opposite! They were so happy this morning, and we got lots of great shots!

Blue Moon?

noreply@blogger.com (TaylanBrooks) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 17:26:00 +0000

Today was one of those "blue moon" kind of days! Not one, not two, but THREE smiling, well-behaved adorable kids! Who could ask for more?
