Almost one...

I had the opportunity to photograph this little sweetheart last week! It threatened rain the entire time, but we lucked out. When I arrived she was as smiley as could be. Her mom told me she wasn't walking yet so I figured the session would be a piece of cake! Boy was I wrong ;). She is a very fast crawler and thought her ideas were more fun than mine!! She was so precious showing me she was turning "1" (see the photo below) and jabbering away the entire session. When she got tired she would put two fingers in her mouth and twirl her little pony tail.....TOO precious! Here is a BIG sneak peek for her mommy.

They're back!

Madison and Kayla had another session! I just LOVE these girls, I cannot get enough of them! Kayla is a year old now and is walking everywhere. She also made me work for every single picture I took of her! She would not sit in the grass so she spent her session on a cement pad or my reflector ;)! And Madison is such a little ball of energy! I just love everything about her personality, she is so amusing! She spent the entire session picking all sorts of flowers and dandelions. It sprinkled on and off through the entire sitting, and once I got back on the highway it POURED! Talk about good timing!

So big!

Here are Maeva and Trey! They have both grown so much in the past year, I cannot believe it! Maeva is one and walking, so we had a little tea party to get her to stay in one spot :). Here's a sneak peek!

New baby brother and big sister

I recently photographed 10 day old Anthony. I thought for sure he would be sleepy and curly and mom did everything to time it just right. As soon as she layed him down he was wide awake! And not just wide awake, but awake and making the silliest faces!! So I went outside and took a few of big sister Gianna while mom put Anthony back to sleep. She made the funniest faces, it was a riot!! Mom layed Anthony back down on the nice warm bean bag and I was ready to go to work. I snapped two pictures quickly to check the lighting after coming back indoor and was ready to start molding Anthony into position. He woke up again!!!! He would not stay asleep despite all of our tricks! I can tell he is going to keep mom on her toes ;).

Here's a sneak peek:

Little Miss Isla

Here is the sweet Miss Isla! She had a "newborn" session recently, but she is five weeks old!! I generally recommend newborn sessions be done in the first two weeks, but Isla slept like a champ! She was perfect her entire session and even got to wear an adorable hat and wrap that her mommy brought along. At five weeks she was much more interested in sprawling out than curling up, but we managed to get some precious images of her!

One year old...

Little Miss Emy turned a year old in January!! It is so hard to believe she is already a year old, it seems like just yesterday I was at her house doing her newborn portraits, 37 weeks pregnant myself, and in awe of all of her dark dark hair! Here are a couple from her one year session:
