We’re Josh + Jenny Solar. We have fun taking pictures.

Since we’re going to get to know each other better, let’s break the ice. We have fun taking pictures...and fully expect you to do the same. If you’re not having a great time, we’re not having a great time, and we LOVE to have a great time.

We also LOVE each other...a lot. We’re high school sweethearts who LOVE each other just as much now as we did then (yeah, it still happens). We have 3 wildly wonderful children, and we LOVE them, too. We’ll do just about anything to make them smile.

Did you notice all the LOVE in here? We LOVE LOVE :)

We LOVE to capture people who love each other having fun...that’s just how we roll. We treat each of you as the unique individuals that you are. We try to capture all your little inside jokes. Your sideways glances. And the ways you like to tickle each other.

Every couple and every family has its own love language. We capture it for you in pictures.

You can learn about our own Solar love language on our personal blog, Running in Circles.

You watch them grow…

Friday, November 6, 2009 Posted in Our Life

About 8:30 am this morning, Jenny and I realized that today was going to be an absolutely beautiful day, and that we needed to go out with our kiddos and actually try and get some fun portraits of them. Little did we know that our amazing friend and fellow studio mate, Kelley, would take some awesome family pics of us together . NOTE: These are not them. I’m excited like an…(insert inappropriate reference here) to see them, but we’ll all have to wait

And a beautiful day it was. I take a TON of pictures of my kids, in fact, I have over 10,000 pictures to go through dating back to June 2. You could say I’m just a tad behind. But, I’ve been trying to capture a certain image of each of my kids recently, and I think I finally captured them. What follows is my kids, just being themselves. All the little things that I’ve come to know and love about each one can be seen in the images below.

Max. In a couple of weeks he’ll be 5. He is a total boy. Superman, Star Wars, major guy stuff. I love him dearly.

Ava. She’ll be 3 in a few weeks. She melts my heart. She’s independent, and she loves to do anything with Max she possibly can (hence the Batman t-shirt)

Lia. Not yet a year and a half. Gets cuter and cuter everyday. Loves to snuggle. Loves to make this ultra cheesy grin (this is the first instance caught with my camera)

The next set was taken this evening because the light was AMAZING. How can you not love this little boy? He’s even got my ears

Love that smile, she’s gonna be breaking hearts before we know it. Love the way her hair is blowing in the wind.

I just wish I could freeze time, or at least slow it down a little. I don’t want Lia (or any of my kids) to grow up. I’m not ready. Just look at that grin, the way she’s holding her shirt, I could eat her up.

I’m not trying to play favorites by adding an extra one of Max in here, but I wanted a certain look for this evening’s sunset pictures. Max would only oblige if I took a few shots of him with his Lego airplane. Of course, I obliged, I love the way he’s making the flying sounds with his mouth as he’s flying. Another airplane note: He takes that thing apart and puts it together at least 3 times a day. He follows the directions step by step, and takes it EVERYWHERE.
