Baby "J"

Ahhh...baby "J".  What a sweet little guy.  His eyes are so captivating I could have just gazed in his eyes the whole time that he was at the studio.  Baby "J" was also a very content little guy and was happy to be looking around and seeing the new sights.  Ya know, just taking it all in and not having a care in the world.

I have to tell you that he has one of the best laughs I have heard from a four month old.  His laugh reminds me of the commercial with the baby sitting in the highchair and the dog is barking in the back and the little baby was just a laughing every time the dog barked.  His laugh was amazing, so I loved it when his mama was tickling his thighs and under his arms.  It was AWESOME!



My Sweet Valentines

Today I took my children in the studio to do a mini valentine shoot.  Seems my kids are the last ones to be photographed, but I need to get Valentine Cards made up so they have something to hand out to their classmates.  For once, they weren't photographed at the last minute...haha!! 

I love these two images of my kiddos, but I will choose different images for their school valentine cards, just cause.  Well, I am sure they wouldn't want to see my son shirtless, but I on the other hand love his shirtless
valentines :)  My daughter loves to pose listening to Lady Gaga or Avril Lavigne.  You can see the sass in this pose :)  So, here are my favorite images from their session.

I also designed these two wallet templates that they will use for their school valentine handouts.
Love them.



Sweet Lil' "J"

Sweet Lil' "J" came to visit me yesterday.  She was having her seven month portraits taken.  She wasn't quite sitting at six months so we waited a little bit until she could sit.  She did very well, but she sure made us all work hard on getting her to smile.  She was a little stingy with those smiles, but we definitely captured the ones she did give us. 
Lil' "J" also discovered she has a tooth that came in.  She was thrusting her little tongue out quite a bit to feel the new tooth that poked through.  It was so stinkin' cute...she made me giggle :)
Here are a few sneak peeks from her session..



Sweet Little Valentine

Here is Little Miss "R" who came in for her Valentine Mini Session yesterday.  Little Miss "R" is so sweet and so full of energy (I wish I had all that energy).  So, everytime I photograph this little girl I have to give her candy to get her to stay in front of my lights so I can photograph her (I am sure her mama loves me afterwards...haha).  She moves very quick, so the sweethearts came out right away :)  Gotta love bribing with candy...lol.  But, I can tell you this, Little Miss "R" sure makes a "sweet little valentine"!! 



Miss "M" Pretty In Pink

I just photographed this little six month old girl, Miss "M", and because it is close to Valentines I had to put her in some pink.  She is so "pretty in pink", and especially with those blue eyes :)
Miss "M" sat pretty good for most of her session, but I also did some images of her on her belly to give her a rest from sitting.  Towards the end, she was just done sitting.  She would wobble from side to side and I would giggle inside.  She reminded me of the Weeble-Wobbles...I use to love playing with weeble-wobbles when I was just a child.  :)
Here is one of the "pretty in pink" images from her session.  Enjoy!

Random Desk Images

Every now and then I think it is fun to take images of what is on or near my work station.  Yesterday I was drinking a Dr. Thunder, which I think is the best imitation of Dr. Pepper, and set it near my keyboard.  Well, I thought it would be fun to wipe the dust off of my 50 mm 1.8 lens and play with the shallow depth of field.  So, I shot both the Dr.Thunder soda can and the keyboard at ISO 160, F1.8 @ 125
Things I do when I get bored or need a little creative time.

Precious Baby Girl

OMG...today I was blessed to photograph this precious baby girl who just turned seven months old.  She was just too sweet.  I have to say though,  she was a little stingy with her smiles, but she was such a ham.  Her eyes are amazing and can speak a thousand words.  I could find myself getting lost in them.

I was also excited to have her wear two new outfits that I received two days ago.  This precious baby girl sure came at the right time :)  Love her *hugs*



Sweet Baby

Yesterday I photographed a "Sweet Baby" who just turned four months old on her session day :)
She was so full of smiles, that to try and capture images without smiles was a little bit of work.  Seriously, it ususally is the other way around.  Everytime you said her name to look at you, she smiled...it was awesome.   But, I am showing a non-smile image because I love images when babies aren't smiling and just looking up at you.  :)
She did have a little bit of a melt down when we put her on her belly, and her mama said it would happen.    This sweet baby is just not a fan of tummy time.  This liitle girl did AWESOME, and I couln't have asked for more.

This is a sample of one of the Valentine Mini's you can get with your Valentine Mini Session.

Sweet Baby makes a cute Valentine :)

What a boy...

What a boy...this cute little guy was a very happy go lucky lil' boy.  He is so sweet and charming.  I loved that he loved to play with his little toes.  I think I could photograph him all day if he would let me...haha.

He did well and gave me 45 minutes of his time.  Yes, 45 minutes of smiles and wonderment with no breaks.  I do have my work cut out for me though.  Try and narrow all those cute images down to less than 40 images is going to be hard!! 

Well, here are some sweet images of Sweet Lil' "E" :)



A little girl named Laila

Okay, this little girl just makes me smile.  She is one of the happiest baby girls I have photographed in a long time.  She is absolutely adorable.  I also want to sing the song "Laila" when I see her...sad to say, I do not know the person who sings it because I would love to have that song on my computer.

Anyway...Laila is such a delight that I have to share some of my favorite faces that this little girl has to share.  Enjoy and God Bless.



Mr. "B" at six months

This little guy, Mr. "B", came in for his six month portrait session.  He was sleeping when they arrived and awoke when his momma set him on the floor in his carseat.  His eyes opened and it took about five minutes of some momma lovin' and we were good to go.  He was such a lil' flirt...haha
Here are some of Mr. "B's" images from his session.

Smash Cake Session

I absolutely love smash cake sessions!!  I love watching the little one's gently poke their fingers into the frosting and then watching the cake get destroyed when they figure out that it is okay to just dig in :)

Today  Asher came in for his smash cake session and his mommy brought a cake that she had baked and decorated.  They are going with a baseball theme for his first birthday...so, this was a special cake.  She did a great job on the cake :)  Better than what I could have done.

So, here is an "Expression Panel" that I did for Asher's Smash Cake Session.  Enjoy the image because this will make you hungry for some cake.
