“Hey Mom and Dad!”

Posted on July 2, 2011

“Just hanging out, waiting for this photographer chick to finish my photos.”

“She’s working hard though,

and she keeps telling me how much I remind her of her own son at my age. She gets a little weepy about it, but mostly, I make her smile.”

“Sort of like this.”

“Just a little longer mom and dad. I promise it will be worth the wait.”

sunshine

Sunny. Sunshine. Sunflower. Shine. Bright.

That’s me trying to pick a title. I’m so creative, huh? But this little one year old is pure sunshine. I loved photographing her and her smile is absolutely contagious.

I promised her mommy that she would at least have a sneak peek waiting for her when she woke up Saturday morning. I hope she loves these as much as I do, but I also want her to know that I didn’t necessarily pick my favorites. How’s that for teasing?

Hope you enjoyed! Will be back soon with a few more!

for you mom…

because I know you are just dying for something… anything!

This will make it worse though, I promise!

How beautiful and Gerber like is this baby?!!!

Let me tell you, this was mom’s and my second favorite dress! Can you only imagine?

(And yes, her eyes are really that blue. I didn’t do anything additional to them other than my normal color processing to the image as a whole.)

So mom, do I need to check on you after this sneak peek?

Totally kidding… I just appreciate your patience. I promise it will totally be worth the wait! And the wait, my friend, is almost over.

his little sister

That funny little guy from the last post, well, he has a cutie-patootie sister and I’ve had the extreme pleasure of capturing her throughout her first year. See here for her newborn post and since I never posted from her six month session, here’s one of my favorites:

And here she is now at one year:

What an honor it is to capture these little ones through their first year of life. Thank you “S” family… It was a joy photographing Makayla and your family.

my favorite age

Posted on May 30, 2010

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the 6-7 month age group is my very favorite. It’s not that I don’t love babies of all ages because I most certainly do, but this age group is the cherry on top for me.

Maybe its because I have fond memories of my own children at this age…

Maybe its because they are fairly easy to please…

Maybe its because this age group is just happy and they [usually] smile lots…

Or maybe its because they are sitting up so pretty… and lovin’ every bit of it!

It’s all those things and then some. Did I mention that most can’t crawl away from me yet either?!

Photographing a six month old takes me right to that place in my heart that made me want to become a photographer in the first place. They melt my heart. And as a photographer, they put every insecurity to rest that I may have allowed to creep up on me and settle in. They hit the “re-set” button inside me.

To the proud parents of this little one, thank you for sharing your beautiful little girl with me. Thanks for letting her work her 7 month old magic on me.

Enjoy!

sneak peek: 3 month old sweetie

Posted on May 26, 2010

I so enjoyed photographing my good friend’s 3 month old. Funny because we could not get her to sleep for her newborn session, yet for this session she slept for half of it.

There is nothing sweeter or more beautiful than a sleeping baby…

And then she woke up (or we woke her up) and charmed me with her brilliant three month old smile: That’s when I remembered that smiling at this age just means everything to a mommy. All those sleepless nights and general exhaustion of the first few months is suddenly bearable and rewarded with beautiful smiles, twinkling eyes and sweet little cooing that only a 3 month old can give you.

It was a great session. Thank you Jenifer for sharing your little one with me. For sharing all your little ones with me. It makes my heart so happy to capture your family in photos.

Enjoy! Can’t wait to show you the rest!

sneak peek: Gerber baby

Posted on March 31, 2010

Just kept seeing his face on baby food jars… So darn cute and a joy to photograph.

He was all over the place, as you would expect any one year old crawler to be. And mom scored by bringing the Easter basket. There was no stopping him otherwise.

But we did have some brief moments of stillness…

How friendly… And at such a young age too!

This little guy never really responded to the normal noises I might make to get the attention of my smallest clients… Not that I have a vast array of sounds I can make. Unfortunately. But in the end I found that the “Wheels on the Bus” worked wonders. Maybe I should just stick to singing.

Had a great time with this family and was just so happy to be capturing their precious little boy at the one year mark. Can’t wait to show them the rest!

Happy Birthday “Mr. P”! Hope you thoroughly enjoy your first birthday cake. Show your parents a good time with that cake, will ya?
