I haven’t been much into blogging lately, but I need to share this little guy’s perspective on his new baby sister.

  • Yuli - This is a great family and I just love these pics. Maternity pictures below are just beautiful and the big brother checking out baby sister is priceless! Love it.

Last year the beautiful Renaissance Clubsports hosted an event for Mali Workman Photography and I raffled off 2 free portrait sessions during the event.  This wonderful family was one of the winners, but with their busy schedule we just recently had their session. They were such a joy to work with that it makes me want to give away more sessions 🙂

  • Adrienne Gunde - Love the flying pigtails portrait, so cute & the light is amazing! 🙂

Every end of the year it’s nice to look back and see how much has happened, how much my kids have grown, how much my clients’ kids have grown and how many new great people I’ve met.   For this last post of the year, I want to share some of my favorite images from a few recent sessions.

This is Julian

Like every 7-year-old boy he loves his family

But right now Julian is fighting an aggressive form of brain cancer and he can’t spend much time playing and just being a child.   Please say a prayer for Julian, even if you don’t pray (his family does!) and they are asking for lots of prayers for their little boy.

And I’m thankful for the opportunity to spend some time with Julian and his family, and I look forward to coming back for another family session in celebration of his full recovery!

  • Noel - What a beautiful session, and amazing gift. So precious.

  • Stephanie - Thanks for your post, Mali. I will definitely pray for Julian and his family even if I don’t know them. And, I will also look forward to seeing your next session on Julian and his family to celebrate his full recovery!!!

  • Jennifer Unkrich - BEAUTIFUL Mali! Thank you so much for all of your wonderful & hard work. We are praying over Julian every day!!

OK, I’m trying to catch up on posts! Here’s a little beauty who was just so sweet!

  • Patience Roney - I know who that beautiful girl is. You did such an awesome job capturing how Angelic she is!

  • Jill Harake - Where did you take the pictures that were posted on Tuesday, October 19, 2010? I’d like to go there to take some pictures of my kids.

This is the 4th year that I photograph this big, happy, fun bunch!  Over the years they have became good friends and Maria has recently decided to pursue her photography passion. Check her out here. I’ll have to go back and post some of their previous family portraits, but for now, here are some recent ones:
