Holiday madness

Sorry I've been MIA. It's been pretty busy around here. Just wanted to stop in to share a couple of my most recent cutie pies.

Little miss M.... one of my most favorite people ever! <3>

And little miss A.....

This is my first time working with her and she was a blast. She has more facial expressions that I knew could exist... such a funny girl.

I'm all done with 2008 sessions! Time to move on to 2009!! I can't believe how fast this year has gone. I have some fun plans for 2009 so keep checking the blog and don't forget to sign up for my free e-newsletter!

Little Lady

I think the best part of my job is watching little ones grow up. I'm always amazed at how fast they grow and it's such fun watching them become little people and then bigger people.... I just love it.

This is little miss I. I did her newborn photos and just got the opportunity to do her one year portraits. What a little beauty! Isn't she gorgeous? She's such a good natured little one and had nothing but smiles the whole time we were shooting. Not a single meltdown - I was impressed! I just big puffy heart her. :-)

The results are in

So the media is all abuzz with the results of some vote on Tuesday. To that I say..... whatever. What about the REALLY important voting results - those for my Halloween Costume Contest!

:-)
I got 7 adorable entries this year. I just love Halloween and seeing all the costumes! And here they are!

I put these to the vote with a collection of fellow photographers, and the winner is....................

Halloween

Lock up your daughters!

Their poor, poor mother. I'm sure the calls will start early - the giggling on the other end of the line asking if they're home. These boys are going to be SUCH heartbreakers! They're just so adorable and sweet to boot! Every time I see them they get more and more handsome, and it's so much fun to watch them together. Little R. just adores his big brother and it's so cute to watch him follow him around and do everything he does. I swear he thinks his big bro hung the moon and stars. I just *love* that. :-)


You probably can't tell from this crappy blog sized copy, but talk about some amazing eyes this kiddo has!!! I had to resist cropping this to just a close up of the eyes - they're seriously stunning!

He's baaack.....

Little Mr. C! You may remember him from his newborn portraits ! He's grown so much and is now an adorable, happy little 6 month old. This shoot was so fun as I just adore this little guy. We went to Heritage Park for some great fall colors. Of course, it was 80 degrees outside - not exactly the weather you'd expect for fall photos, but little C was such a trooper. He tolerated me much better this time than last time and even smiled!

I'm still proofing these and I already have so many that I love. I've literally laughed out loud opening some of them and let out quite a few audible "awwwwww"s. :-) I just love his little facial expressions!

The wandering senior

This is my nephew Kyle - isn't he cute? :-)

I finally pinned him down for some senior photos and it was a blast! We had so much fun just wandering around town looking for fun places to shoot. Then of course we did some shots in studio too. I can't believe he's a senior already. I totally remember when he was just Emily's age and he was such an adorable little ham wearing just a diaper. *sigh* Where does the time go? I love these photos and I'm so proud of the man he's becoming, but I have to admit it makes me a little sad to see that "little Kyle" is all gone.

A Natural

Check out this cuteness!
Let's face it some kids are just a natural in front of the camera! Little dude was SO easy to work with I could hardly believe it. It's so different than someone like, say..... Emily! Not once did he scream and run in the other direction - I could hardly believe it. He was just so full of natural laughter and smiles.

His baby sister was the same way, but she was having so much fun making me chase her around. She's quite a good crawler! lol... This session was sooo much fun and I really love the images I got.

How cool is his hat? LOVE IT!

Sugar and Spice

Boy did I have a fun session - meet little miss H. and little Mr. M.

These kids were SO adorable and so nice - just a pleasure to work with. Little H. was such a polite little thing and she just *adores* Little M. :-) It's so sweet. I had a great time working with them. We did some baking shots which are always fun - complete with chef's hat and apron! It was a blast.

Of course, the best part of baking is taste testing, right? lol...

Little Man

Check out this little man - isn't he adorable? I love his little mop top - he's like a miniature Beatle or Jonas Brother or something. He's going to be such a heartbreaker when he's older!! I had the pleasure of photographing him this week at Quarton Lake (one of my all time favorite locations!). Four year old boys are such..... boys! lol.. Little Mr. R. was very sweet and such a Daddy's boy. It was so cute the way he obviously just *adores* his Daddy.
