Sneak peek…. Miss H, one year old! April 21, 2010

I took this precious little girl’s newborn photos almost a year ago… it’s just amazing how time flies.  It’s always so neat to be able to see how much a baby has grown and changed in such a short period of time.  Miss H was as beautiful as the last time I saw her… and it was wonderful to be able to capture her with her beautiful blue eyes OPEN this time… wow, have you ever seen such big beautiful blue eyes??  Good luck saying “no” to those, mom and dad!  Forget it!  :)

It was so great to see you all a year later and see the adorable little family you’ve become.  I hope to see you again in the future!

Sweet Miss H, brand new…

Sneak peek…. Mr. H, 7 months… March 28, 2010

I just love taking photos during the first year of a baby’s life.  It’s amazing the changes that happen in such a short period of time.  Mr. H has sprouted into such a little DUDE… of course the styling by mama helped him look even more like a little man- LOVE IT!  The H man wasn’t his normal super smiley self due to some spring time sniffles but we got him to go along with some photo taking today for a short time.  Mamas of little boys take note, I think this outfit worked out very well… from the super handsome and sophisticated (cough, cough, grandma pleasing shots), moving onto a little more casual by removing the sweater and then onto a more modern take with the diaper cover and tie.  Super duper cute.

I can’t wait for his 1 year shoot… I have a feeling I better start training now, something tells me he’s going to be a fast little dude at that point!

Mr. H, back in August, new to the world…

And today…

 

Sneak peek…. Mr. T, 4 months March 23, 2010

I’ve been so lucky lately getting to photograph all of these beautiful blue-eyed boys!  This little guy has grown so much since the last time I saw him for his newborn shoot… he’s such a sweet chunky man now, I love it!  Here he is back in December….

And today at 4 months!

and a not so subtle hint that the shoot is over….

 

Sneak peek… Miss E, 2 years old! February 15, 2010

I got to hang out with my little friend Miss E today for her TWO year old session.  The last time I saw her she was 18 months old and about to be a big sister.  Today she was as beautiful and spunky as ever… she was giving us a bit of two year old ‘tude from time to time so we just took it really easy and let her think she was in charge.  ;)   She did manage to give me some serious stink eye on occassion though…

HA!  Gotta love a girl with some ‘tude.  :)

I love the way these images turned out for being stuck inside on a cold day… I’m always a bit worried we won’t be able to do enough inside but I really think these tell the story of this little princess at two years old.  Hope you love them so far, Mom and Dad… can’t wait for Mr. E’s SIX MONTH session next month.  Man, time flies!

I couldn’t resist sharing this one of baby brother… can’t wait for his session in March!  What a good lookin’ baby!!

This isn’t an age that I normally photograph because as all photographers know, it’s just a notoriously hard age to capture well. I didn’t want to turn this mom away though because when their daughter was born they had a hard time finding a newborn photographer that fit their needs. I’m so glad I gave it a shot because Miss E was beautiful and happy and really made it a breeze. It was so neat to capture the bond between this family of 3… the love between them is obvious in these photos and I hope they cherish them for a lifetime.

 

Sneak peek…. a holiday family extravaganza December 6, 2009

It was a family affair today at the C family residence… sisters, cousins, kids, babies… we had it all! And we did it all with minimal crying and complaining! A true Christmas miracle! ;)

Lexie, thanks for the AWESOME bloomers… you really are a crafting genius!

Melissa and Paul, thanks for the vino… it shall be enjoyed shortly.

Great seeing you all, as usual.

 

Sneak peek…. Miss H, 9 months December 3, 2009

This bald beauty definitely put Mom and I to work this morning! We had to work for every single smile and poor Mom even got a full upper body workout. :) I have to say that every minute was worth it to capture this beautiful little girl. Going through her images, I was reminded of two things- a baby GAP model with that porcelain skin and beautiful blue eyes… and Brangelina’s daughter Shiloh with the fabulous full lips and baby blues. Either way, she’s one good lookin’ baby.Usually I have a pretty clear idea of the “look” I want a photo to have… but the one below, I loved so much in both color (with a bit of a vintage/texture twist) and b&w that I had to show both.
