Sneak peek…. Mr. T, one year old! April 19, 2010

Usually one year olds take a little bit to warm up but Mr. T was ready for me the second I walked in the door!  Happy, smiling… eager to check me and all my gear out.  He was such a doll and made my job very easy.  I always love working with families of 3… there’s so  much love and attention devoted to one little person.  This little man has such a great personality- outgoing and independent but still super cuddly (and very much a mama’s boy!)… it really shows that mom and dad must be doing a great job.  It was great getting to know you all… thanks for letting me come into your home and hopefully capture some memories for you!

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!!

Sneak peek… Miss S turns one! February 8, 2010

Today was a little bit bittersweet for me.  As I’ve mentioned about a billion times on this blog, I just love my first year clients.  I get the opportunity to really get to know these little ones and am given the gift of watching them grow during their first year of life.  So, as much as I love the big first birthday shoot, it’s also a bit sad to know that it will probably be while before I get to see them again!  I definitely won’t be seeing them every few months like I’ve been able to.

It’s been such a pleasure to work with this family.  Super sweet Mom and Dad, entertaining and beautiful big sis and of course, Miss cutie patootie herself, Miss S.  This little one has turned into such a character… from her non-stop talking in her own special language to that super funny one-knee crawl, there was no shortage of laughs today.  Miss S was in an awesome mood and LOVED being the center of attention.  Both Mom and I were shocked at how much she loved this poofy pettiskirt that I brought!  She definitely played the part of princess for a day!

Happy 1st birthday… tell your Mom to keep in touch!! 

Sneak peek… The P twins… being one is fun!! January 31, 2010

I completely adore my regular clients… it’s such an amazing gift to be able to capture someone else’s child as they grow up.  I get to witness all of their milestones and watch them grow…. without doing any of  the hard work!    I first met this beautiful duo when they were a few weeks old.  I was just starting out then and they were the PERFECT models for me… sleepy and peaceful.  Today at one they are busy, busy, busy!!  Miss C is a lightning fast crawler and Miss T is a tricky one escaping me both by crawling AND walking.  I have no doubt they will both be RUNNING the next time I see them… yikes.  They are both as beautiful as the first time I met them and they just keep getting more and more fun for me to play with.  I hope to continue to see this pair throughout the years.

Sneak peek… Mr. T, 9 days old December 10, 2009

Have I ever mentioned that I love my job? Especially when it means I get to snuggle adorable little babies…?? This little man had a bit of a tough time falling asleep but hardly made a fuss about it even though he was most definitely having some pooping issues… Sorry T, I promise that’s the last time I’ll talk about your poop publicly. I’ll only talk about nice things like how you have the BEST creamy skin and the most perfect little features.

It’s only day 9 but he seems to have just the sweetest personality… big brother is awfully sweet so it looks like he’ll probably follow in his footsteps. I’m looking forward to seeing you grow during your first year and seeing the handsome toddler you will no doubt become!

And one of the brothers… big brother did an AMAZING job handling his wee little brother!

Sneak peek…. The L family… November 21, 2009

I woke up this morning to my two boys in SUPER foul moods…. sometimes I’m sad to leave my boys but today was definitely an exception! My boys foul moods definitely set these two boys up for success- they seriously would have had to burn a forest down for me to think they were being bad. Just let that be a reminder to those that are scared of how their kiddos are going to act during a photo session with me… compared to my little hellions, your kids can do no wrong.

On that note, these two definitely gave me a run for my money as is always the case with kiddos their age. Mr. J, the big brother, was such a ham today… he thought he was in a GAP ad with the moves he was pulling. Mr. M was not so much in the mood for my antics today but with a little work, I was able to get some great ones of him as well. Look at those blue eyes and cheeks though- he would have had to light the forest on fire AND throw me in it to get on my bad side. What a doll baby.

Kudos to mom for the wardrobe choices… super well coordinated without being matchy-matchy. Gold star for the day mama!

Sneak peek…. Sassy Miss M is 1 year old!! November 14, 2009

… sorry Dad, had to do it after all that “Sassy Miss M” talk….

We had some GORGEOUS November weather here today! I was thinking back to her first photo session with me back when she was a wee little thing and it was horribly cold and windy that day… luck was definitely on our side a year later. Delicious coffee was present on both occassions… I love coffee drinkers.

Here she was one year ago…

and today….

can’t believe i almost forgot 2 family members, sorry jack and stella….

Sneak peek… The M Family…. November 9, 2009

i just love my clients that i get to work with on a fairly regular basis. watching their kids grow is so neat and it’s an honor to be a part of their lives. i just love these two princesses… they look so alike, yet so different in their coloring. such beautiful little girls! lots of giggles and funny noises today ending with some nudies of a roley poley baby… doesn’t get much better than that!

make sure you click on this one, mama to make it bigger- she’s doing the thumb thing. genetics are a funny thing, eh?
