I  am so honored that my clients continue to hire me for the special moments in their lives. It is especially sweet when I not only do their first newborn son’s session but also their second. And, they look SOOOOO much alike!  I will have to find his big brother’s newborn pictures to show you. I will most definitely come back to post a few more as well as “compare” their sons. I would photograph Jack, and I could not stop calling him his brothers’ name. I felt so bad, but when I’d photograph him and look at him through my lens, it literally took me back almost two years. I’m not kidding when I say that. I felt as though I had just been there photographing their first son. How crazy is that? Time sure does FLY when you’re having fun. It goes by too fast, so let that be a warning to ENJOY IT as much as you can.

He was actually very alert during our session, but he loved being snuggled and warm and drifted right off to sleep!  I wanted to share him with you all.

Just look at this happy girl. This session will be done before I go to bed. So, although Mom will get her gallery tonight or when she wakes up in the morning, I still had to share JUST a few on my blog for the “world to see” her smiling, happy baby girl!!! See, if I had a girl, she would have red hair like her too, and wouldn’t that be lovely! Sigh. But, since I have no girls to go “ga ga” over, I’ll just love on the ones I am lucky to meet and photograph!

Look at her posing for me as any little lady should. =)

What a happy girl!!! I love both color and black and white, but I’m favoring the black and white here.

What a wonderful session and then she was ready for her nap! Her modeling session was now over.

Yes yes yes. It’s 7:00 am in the morning. When I woke up and had a few minutes this morning after one son left and another is about to be woken up to start his day as well, all I could think about was sharing more of this little man. I love this age and this little guy so much. He was a happy boy! I can’t get over how much I love his vest, too!

I know his name shows, but I hope you don’t mind Mom!

Next up is a family session and a sibling session. Yippee! I know they have been waiting with anticipation.

This little man is as cute AS THEY come. I love his fuzz. I really love his fuzz. HE has the prettiest blue eyes and such a happy demeanor. He is 6 months old and this age is MY FAVORITE age to photograph. They are so easily entertained and can be “serious” when they just look at you one minute and then smiling the next. It was a joy to photograph your son. Thank you SO MUCH for having me as your baby’s photographer. It means a lot to me, and I hope to see him again one day as he grows older.

Enjoy!

Grandma and Grandpa did a good job when they sent their grandson this outfit. It turned out to look gorgeous on him and more for a “formal” Christmas picture if I do say so myself. I think he thinks so, too!

And although you can see a lot of the background and toys in the first image, I LOVE it. I think it really shows the love and fun and playing together you have as a family. With babies (and children of all ages really), the house gets a little messy with toys which really isn’t a “mess” at all. I will give her the option of a closer cropped one, but because I like to my personal favorites here to share, I’m sharing the full image. Sweet baby. Mom, you were great too! I really enjoyed meeting you.

Oh the little hands or feet of little ones. I love this type of shot for little ones with that baby pudge we all love to grab and snuggle and kiss on.

Love the color. Love his vest!

First, I have to apologize to all my blog readers and clients for not “being around” here lately. I have been very busy, but it’s been more hectic than usual for a few reasons: 1) the flu hit my home and so that was a set back and 2) all the rain dates and having to try hard to reschedule and fit clients in that had sessions on our RAINIEST days. That’s a little frustrating (the weather) during the busiest time of the year. I am back and into my flow again, so I will update more soon!

Oh this little girl was a treat. I haven’t seen her since her newborn session, and since Mom and Dad stilll have their home on the market here (they moved), they came down and had her session at the same time they attended to other things. I’M SO GLAD they did! Great family. “R” really grew up so fast. I couldn’t believe how big (although petite) she was and how fast she had become. She was the sweetest thing! It’s hard to believe that she was sick the very next day! Look at her!

This is a small sneak peek for Mom while she waits up for me to resize and upload everything tomorrow morning. Yes, that “part of the workflow” actually takes about the same amount of time as editing in many instances. So here you go Mom and Dad!

Umm..color looks a bit off online. I don’t like that. But, oh well…sharing anyway!

I’ll be back soon with many more to share!! Have a wonderful day.

First , I wanted to wish this baby girl’s Daddy a safe deployment. I know it’s hard to leave your wife and little girl, but I pray that everyone does fine, stays safe, and for a FAST return! I know your session isn’t due for awhile, but knowing that you’re leaving very soon, I wanted to post just a few for you to see before you go. I also have to let you all know that this sweet baby girl is only 5 1/2 months old and was sitting like a champ. I was so surprised and did not expect that at all. She’s so little and so cute. Her lips, her big, brown eyes, and her little pierced ears – girls! Sigh.

OFFICE CLOSURE:

I will be out of the office beginning Saturday, August 15th and will return to the office on Thursday, August 20th. I will not have email access, but I will return all emails and voice mails upon my return.
