most of the time when i photograph other photographers and their families, i try to focus on family shots and photos of the photographer with his or her kids (because we’re just not in the family’s photos very much). needless to say, my heart was so very happy when karen requested some lensbaby photos of her kids. here are a few of my favorites, from our time together in chicago (which reminded me so much of growing up and made me miss the midwest).
having a 14-year-old, who most of the time doesn’t want to have anything to do with me, this photo melts my heart…

oh deb, i will always be grateful to you for these images (and all of the other beautiful photographs you captured of our family). the last photo, especially brings tears to my eyes each time i see it. this is a tough time for me. she is starting to crave her independence, but i just want to hold on tight. i will cherish it forever. xoxo my sweet friend!
stunning.
These are just such beautiful images…Love Lensbaby! Love Deb Schwedhelm! Thank you for sharing.
My oldest daughter is only seven, but I already feel sad about what I know eventually will come. These photos are truly beautiful and have such an ethereal timeless feel to them. They give me this feeling of looking back in time through a magic crystal ball.

SO in love with all of these, and then reading the comment from the mom at the top just brought tears to my eyes. I love the emotion you are able to capture, and I LOVE your lensbaby shots. They are beautiful.
Deb, these are stunning, precious, meaningful, perfect – thank you always for the inspiration
You are the Queen of the Lensbaby, Deb!
I was so happy to see this post today. {Your previous Lensbaby photos inspired me to get one of my own, and its scheduled to arrive today.} The last photo is such a special capture & absolutely beautiful!
i’ve just recently got a lensbaby, your work makes me want to keep trying harder to master it, in the hope i can create even a little of what you do so well. this series is stunning
Inspirational. Thanks for the push. Now I know why I brought my lens baby along while Down Under.
