Another Angel Growing Up...

This precious angel was one of my first clients when I had just started out. I was thrilled to hear that they wanted photos again. Precious little "H" is an independent 17 month old who was running all over the place. She was so cooperative and put on the angel wings and pettiskirt with no problems! I hope I can keep photographing her for years to come! She's a true doll! *click on any photo to see it larger*

Perfect Little Man

Baby "L" was a perfect little gentleman. He started off our session sleepy and was so easy to put in different positions. As time went on he woke up. We tried and tried to get him back to sleep, but he wouldn't fall asleep. He didn't cry, but just wanted to see the world. Such a perfect little boy! *click on any picture to see it larger*

Had to share this one

I think I found a new favorite from our session the other day. Look at those eyes. What a beautiful little boy. (click on image to see it larger)

Two...

Yep, he's two and was a typical moody two year old, with all of his ups and downs, for our session this morning. Little "O", who is as cute as a button, was a little grumpy, but did show his happy side here and there. I hope I was able to catch it with my camera! Look at him!! How could those eyes not melt your heart?

She's Growing Up!

This little beauty is nine months old and starting to get around a lot. Last time she had a photo session, she was much smaller. Remember her here? She has grown and is bright eyed and fair skinned. She is beautiful! I'm so glad her mom called me again! I love watching these little ones grow up. (click on any photo to see it larger)

Again...

I seem to be doing this a lot lately. I just find a winner in the bunch of pictures I'm editing and have to share. I could get used to photographing adults... it was a nice change from chasing around children who don't want to look at me nor my camera.

A Fun Model!

My gorgeous friend needed some headshots. I wasn't sure what I was going to do. Well, she made it so easy for me. She's beautiful and the camera loved her. Here are a couple from tonight's session. (My 18 year old brother asked her if she was getting senior portraits.. he was shocked to learn that she is my age)

Moo...

I was editing a session from the other day and came across this treasure. I had to share it! I love how this one came out. It is this same baby. She's a doll!

A Little Gentleman

This 4 year old started off our session with a bang. He was willing to do just about anything I asked and really knew how to work the camera. He brought his own props in front of the camera most of the morning. His great personality and attitude made my job a lot easier than it could have been. Take a look at him!

She's Here!

Take a look at this beautiful little girl. Remember the mom-to-be who I took pictures of a few weeks ago? She had this beautiful baby girl and I had the chance to play with her today. Mom looked fantastic for just having her. Take a look at this cutie!

Big Brother

I was busy editing photos from the handsome baby angel session the other day when I came across this treasure. Look at the big brother. Isn't he a gorgeous little boy? You should see those eyes in color. What a cutie! I just had to share this one.

Little Sir

Little "S" is 3 weeks old and as cute as a button. He is truly a little gem. This little man and his big brother lit up the room when they were in it. I'm glad I had the opportunity to photograph little "S" this afternoon. Here are a couple of pictures from our session. (Isn't mom beautiful?)

Beautiful...

I had to post this photo from the session on Saturday. I love the tenderness portrayed here.
Enjoy!

Baby #3 on the way!

Look at this perfect baby belly. This mommy is soon going to be mommy to a precious little girl. Their 3rd baby is due in less than a month. Doesn't mom look fabulous!?! I have more and will post another soon, but for now, I'm taking care of a sick 3 year old at my house. I can't wait to meet this little baby!

Cousins!

I had the pleasure of photographing these two precious little girls this morning. "C" is just about 8 weeks and "L" 4 weeks old. They both were the prettiest little girls. I fell in love with C's nursery. Take a look at the green walls in that first picture. Doesn't her mom look like Jessica Alba?! Beautiful! Thanks for inviting me to share your morning! I can't wait to get the rest of these photos up to share with you.
Here are a few just to give you a peek at what we did. (click on any photo to see it larger)

A Perfect Little Boy

All 6lbs of him was absolutely perfect. This baby boy was only 2 weeks old and although he did fuss, he quieted for a good 30 minutes straight and let us move him around. His mommy and daddy should be proud. I can't wait to finish editing this gallery and share the pictures with them. Here is a sneak peek from our morning.

6 months

I think I'm in love! This big-eyed little boy captured my heart! He was full of smiles for the entire hour we were together. The session flew by because of his great spirit. I am definitely going to have to find more babies around his age to photograph. He was a great start! Here are just a few from his session this afternoon.

Girls, girls, girls...

Meet this wonderful little girl. She is the baby of a family with 3 girls. Fighting reflux made this session a bit challenging, but we kept going and got some precious pictures. Her mommy had these wonderful baskets we used (I need to upgrade mine... these just really accented the beauty of her baby). I can't wait to edit the session and share it with her family.

Little Princess

What a sweet little princess. My girlfriend is moving away and I wanted to make sure I got to take some photos of her little girl before she left. Look at those blue eyes! She'll break some boy's heart in a few years.

Winter Formal

My handsome brother and his gorgeous friend.

2 days...

This little one is only 2 days old. She was home less than an hour from the hospital when I arrived. Poor mom had very little time to unwind before the session. She is a sweet, tiny little baby. The wrinkled feet really show how new this bundle was. I can't wait to edit the rest of this session. Here is a tiny sneak peek.


We tried to take off her little bandaids, but the spots were still bleeding... poor thing had little round bandaids on both heels and both arms.

Look at those eyes!

Here is a picture of a gorgeous girl I had the pleasure of photographing back in the fall. She surprised her parents with some pictures for Christmas. I have wanted to share them for a while! Doesn't she have the most captivating eyes?! Thanks to her parents for letting me post this.

Lil' Red

This cutie is the big sister of the preemie baby boy below. I went to their house today and caught this shot of her. Too cute to not share!

Here's the little brother. He is so tiny in person. His expected due date wasn't until February! He arrived mid Dec. I'm glad I had the opportunity to take some pictures of him. He was a perfect angel the entire time!

Another 3 week old beauty

Take a look at this one! She just made me sigh. Once her belly was full, she was wide awake and content. She did sleep a bit, but made sure we took some pictures of her big blue eyes.
Enjoy! (oh... and for those of you who don't know, this is the baby sister of our second place winner for the blog contest) *click on any photo to see it larger

One more...

I just love this image and had to share it. The same little girl, 3 weeks old from yesterday. We tried 4 times before she finally fell asleep on the blanket.

We have some winners!

Well, they were ALL winners, but the contest has ended and we have a first, second and third place winner.

Thanks so much for all of you who voted. I was overwhelmed with the amounts of votes we received. You all know how to network! :)

Patience

This 3 week old baby was precious, but did not want to sleep. She kept her mommy and daddy running for things to clean up her messes and just didn't want to give in to her tiredness. Our patience paid off in the end and we were able to get some sleepy baby shots. Here are two from this morning's session. Isn't she a complete doll? *click on any photo to see it larger.
