I’ve been in a bind trying to think of what I could post for this months {Elevate} project. Elevate is this really awesome photography group where we can post anything we feel is artistic and more on the fine art side of things. I was going to pull something from my archives, but decided to just finish up my kids vintage back to school photos. I get so side tracked with other projects and pressing deadlines, that often my kids photo shoots sit for far too long. I think I like these images and portraits much better than a school “say cheese” photo! These images of my kiddos mean the world to me. They are growing like weeds and I don’t want to miss a thing. Don’t forget….there are 12 amazing photographers in this group. Click on over to see the amazing work of Jennifer Nguyen | Snails and Pigtails Photography | Temecula, CA Photographer

Wow, those pics are awesome! And this love into details is amazing! GOOOOOOOD JOB!!!
These are so creative! So much better than the standard school picture. Your kids are beautiful and such good sports to be your models. I get a lot of eye rolls when I pull out my camera. 
A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. … as always!!! I love your work!
amazing Andee! love the thought and work you put into your styled shoots- with gorgeous models of course 
simply beautiful!
(A)I love all these little people (B)the setting looks like California…probably not (C)I love the emotions you create through your lens (D)I am still in awe of you…this is great work!
LOve this session Andee! Your babes are so presh. I love that they do this for you! Oh and the B&W are to die for!!!
I love all the details! Timeless. What a fun session with your kids!
Amazing. Where do you get the props? Do you just have them sitting in your house? Or do you trail second hand shops for stuff. I love it. x
HOW do you get your kids to cooperate? My girls are miserable when I am doing their pictures 
. These shots are amazing! I love them!
These are SUPER adorable! But may I ask, how do you get your kids to pose for you, again and again?
I am going to fly to have you shoot my family. I love the details of your styling and what you capture. The apples in the dress… too cute!
These are so beautiful. Your son with that hat on, is one handsome dude and your daughter is stunning! Love them!
Wow these turned out amazing!! I love the vintage clothes, they add that special touch to the session. so cute.
Perfect! I love the whole thing, especially the details. The clothes are amazing and add to the overall inspiration.
amazing session with your kiddos! i love all of your details! i especially love your son’s shoes!! want!! beautiful work!
You are so creative. Very beautiful. . . loved looking at this.
Keilah….I have to bribe them!! They are usually pretty good for me. But they do have a short attention span and run out of interest quick, so I have to work fast!
I usually come up with a them and then make a list of what I will need and build around that. I do shop at quite a few local antique stores, second hand shops, and also get stuff off Etsy.
you always knock my socks off! I love detail, clothing detail in particular, and BOYS clothing especially since you just don’t see it done well that often. What gorgeous images!!
I know you probably get asked this alot, but what do you shoot with? Your work is just stunning!. I know alot is done with photoshop, but your work in general is just so crisp.
My shots look like everybody else’s strait out of camera work. It really is having the proper knowledge in PS. And I do also feel like having quality glass makes a HUGE difference. I shoot with a Nikon D700 and have various lenses. I shoot the very most with my 85mm 1.4 lens.
Love this session! Those clothes are to die for!
I love every last bit of these! What time were these taken?
Fay they were taken about 45 minutes before the sun went down.
I really love this post – amazing set and your images are just wonderful xxxx
Hi Andee,
Beautiful, as always! Could you by any chance tell me what is the name of the book from which you used those learning to read pages? I’m homeschooling my daughter and those totally caught my eye!
Thank you, Andrea
your children are so beautiful. your work so rich in so many things. your talent and vision sublime.
These are all truly amazing!!! I just love all the killer vintage props! WOW!
Andrea, I bought the single pages off Etsy. It was not a whole book, but rather a few pages.
Andee, you really are so inspiring with how you create a set with textures, gorgeous children, and just the perfect eye catching props. I love everything you do and that you take risks because it always pays off big to see things we haven’t seen before which is what keeps us all coming back again and again! Thanks for sharing your tremendous talent! xoxo Joy
wowee Andee….what inspiration!! Only you can take a simple theme and get all these photos from it…each one totally different from each other!!
every little detail … the outfits … the processing … you are the master! i adore each and every one of these! so inspirational!
Those are inspiring! You have such a rich gorgeous style to it! Such a feast for the eyes! Really gorgeous work!
I adore every single one of these! Just beautiful! And what perfect little models you had! This was perfection!
Oh my goodness. I so ridiculously love your work, you have no idea. I’m eyeing that “mentoring” link at the top of the page.
You make beautiful photos, and if these are your kids then you make beautiful children as well.
HOLY COW! I’ve been browsing through your work here and the colours are blowing me away, Incredible. I’ll be back….this is amazing!
