"GREAT"ness

These GREAT-grandparents are the grandparents of a friend of mine, who came into town to visit. She is a fabulous photographer and blessed me by taking photos of my girls. I took some time with her grandparents and son. Here are a couple from our evening on the beach!

Beach time!

This little beauty was full of energy and didn't stop moving! She had so much to say and had a great personality. I'm a bit tired from our session this evening, but I think it was worth it. Look at these treasures I got of her!

Bayside...

Just had to share this one of my youngest. We were on our way out of the area when she stood in the middle of the water. I couldn't resist snapping this photo and playing with it.

Such fun...

With beautiful girls like these, how could I not have fun? Their house was gorgeous and well lit, a photographer's dream. The older sister was the sweetest "almost" 3 year old and very well mannered. Mom and dad should be so proud of both of their little princesses. Here are a few from this morning's session. Enjoy!

Some Good Friends and Golden Sun

Tonight I was invited to take some pictures of a family and their good friends. All five of the children were perfect subjects for the camera. They all did what they were supposed to and followed all of my directions! It was a nice stress free session! Here are just two of the oodles of photos I took tonight. Enjoy!

Little 'P'

This little guy, who was less than 2 weeks old, was a challenge. Poor baby was very cranky and didn't want to fall asleep or sit without crying for more than a few seconds at a time. I hope he starts feeling better soon! Babies this age are so unpredictable. Here are two photos I got from our long session this morning.

Five Week Old Little Man!

Little "A" is 5 weeks old and as cute as a button with big beautiful blue eyes. He was cooperative and snuggled right into this gorgeous basket. He was helpful and slept for a lot of our session this afternoon. I can't wait to share some more!

Technical issues...

My computer died. I'm waiting for some parts to come. Hopefully they'll be here early this week. If you are waiting for an email response from me or something else, please be patient, I will get to you soon!

Quiet...

I was working on editing some from the session with this baby girl and had to share this one. I saw her in church on Sunday and she is still teeny tiny and a beautiful little one.

Little Lady

At the risk of being redundant with all of these angels, I just had to share this one from our session this morning. Little girls are so much fun to photograph. The rain held out and this little charmer was very willing to do almost everything I asked. I can't wait to share the rest of the pictures from this session. This little girl is my girlfriend's daughter, remember her?
I was having fun playing around with this one. A vintage look for you. I'm working on posting larger images, we'll see how they work out.


and one more...

My Angel...

I have a hard time photographing my youngest daughter. She is always on the run and will give me dirty looks or silly cheesy smiles anytime I take out the camera. Well, tonight I begged her to get a few photos of her as an angel. I am making an abc book of her and am starting at the beginning with "a". I was thrilled that she cooperated. Here are a few from tonight.

A Happy Family and a Little Princess

We were rained out yesterday shortly after our session started, I'm glad we were able to continue this evening. Take a look at this happy family and this beautiful 4 year old. *click on any photo to see it larger

Little Miracle

This precious, teeny tiny baby girl is the baby of a good friend of mine. In these pictures you can't really tell that she is only a little bit over 5lbs. Her mommy had a rough pregnancy, but was a trooper and carried this little one safely until her delivery a week and 1/2 ago. I couldn't have asked for a better baby to photograph today! She was awake for about 10 minutes, just long enough to get those little awake shots, then she fell asleep and was willing to let me pose her as much as I wanted for the rest of the 2 hours I was there!! I think I'm in love! **Click on any photo to see it larger**

Cuteness Overload

What fun little "A" was!! She was full of smiles this morning and the perfect subject for my camera. Can you take all this sweetness at once? I can tell these are going to be some favorites of mine for a while. **Click on any photo to make it larger**

Sugar and Spice

and everything nice! This little girl is such a beauty. She is a little, tiny feminine version of her big brother seen here at the beach. Baby "S" is a perfect addition to this wonderful family.

Mr. M

This age is so much fun! Little M enjoyed playing in the grass and taking off to explore! His bright blue eyes are a photographer's dream. I had a great time photographing this little gentleman! *click on any picture to see it larger

Oh my...

I'm having so much fun going through the pictures I took last week. These kids were all just gorgeous! I had to share this one.

Brothers

Blue eyed boys were on the schedule this morning! Both brothers had the most beautiful blue eyes, it was refreshing! I enjoyed the time we spent together this morning, catching up with mom (who I used to teach with before we both had kids) and chasing around little "P" and big brother "L". They did make me work, but it was worth it. I'm happy that our little adventures produced some great portraits for their parents. *click on any picture to see it larger*

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!
