Is it football season yet?

Ok, so maybe we have a while to go, but this is just as good! This is little mister R. He's a repeat client and just as cute as ever. It's so funny to me how at only 2 years old they can be so boyish! lol.. He was not a happy camper until we gave him a football - then he didn't want to let it go! So cute!!

Classic Beauty

This is little miss M. I just adore her. Really.

This was our second shoot together and it was so much fun to see how she's grown. She's just the most adorable little girl ever and so sweet. It's so interesting to me to see the photos of her after the shoot because it seems like when looking back on them I always discover something I didn't see at the time I was shooting - there's just this soulful look in her eyes that says she's so much wiser than her age. She has a special kind of beauty that just photographs so well - just timeless. Of course, it probably stems somehow from the fact that her Mommy is drop dead gorgeous too! lol... That never hurts, right? :-)

(This photo just screams "CANVAS" to me! lol... I might have to order a sample canvas of it just for myself. I just love it!)

Sweet, sweet baby

Meet little miss Y. I shot her Mommy's maternity session and just couldn't wait to meet this little one! She finally arrived and was worth every minute of the wait! Such a sweet, good-natured little baby. And of course her Mommy and Daddy are just so obviously head-over-heels in love with her. It was so fun working with them again. Still proofing but wanted to share a couple of sneak peeks since I know her Mommy is probably dying to see them!

Little Miss O.

This is little miss O.
Isn't she adorable?

This is the second time I've photographed her and I could hardly believe how quickly she's growing! Like a weed! She's even cuter than the last time I saw her (if that's possible!) and she's such a sweetheart! She was such a good sport for the whole session but near the end I could tell that she was secretly wishing I would get that camera out of her face! She started fussing a little bit right at the VERY end of the session. Then once I put the camera away she started playing with me again. It was so funny!

Still proofing, but here's a sneak.....

Maternity session

I had the funnest (yeah I know... I'm MAKING it a word) maternity session over the weekend! I can NOT believe how gorgeous this woman is. You know the type - the ones who make pregnancy look like it's so easy! lol.... I can't wait to meet this little baby and take some newborn portraits too. I was hoping I would have these done by now, but I've had some interruptions and am still working on them. But here are a couple of previews to tide you over.



And the winner is.....

Image #4! Congratulations to baby A!!! :-)
Thanks to everyone who participated in the voting - there was a great response for this, which is always nice to see.

On a personal note, I just want to say that we closed on the new house yesterday! WOO HOO! It's official! Little Moments Photography will now be based out of Highland Michigan. Not to worry - I'm expanding my travel policy to include all my fantastic local clients that I've fallen so in love with! :-) It's really not that much farther anyway.

I'm very excited about the new house and get wait to get in and get settled! Emily is so excited about the idea of a new room and she really wants it to be pink - something I've avoided until now. But.... pink it is. She's going to love it - if I can get her off the stairs long enough! We're in a ranch right now so stairs are a whole new playground for her, lol.

I'm still working on last weekend's maternity session and will post a sneak peek soon. It was a really fun session and I can't wait to show some images.

Off to pack! :-)

Happy New Year!

I'm sorry I have been so out of touch with the blog world lately. December kind of flew by for me in a blur! Between the busy holiday sessions, the holidays themselves, being pregnant and house shopping.... I had a little trouble keeping in touch like I should. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and is enjoying the first part of 2008!

I'm so excited for this year and all the changes it will be bringing for me both personally and professionally. We have purchased a new home in Highland township and will be moving sometime around the end of January. I'm very excited but it has been one hectic experience - and we haven't even moved yet! Just house shopping alone is enough to make you want to throw in the towel! lol... I will be happy to get everything in and settled before the baby arrives in July. Wish me luck!

I would also like to take a moment to say "thank you" to all the wonderful clients I had in 2007, either for the first time or as repeat clients. I truly have some of the best clients with the cutest kids! 2007 was so much fun and I'm really looking forward to seeing you all again in 2008!

Although I'm a few days late for the New Year, I wanted to post my top 10 favorite client images from 2007. I got this idea from a fellow photographer and thought it was such a fun way to close out the year. It was SOO hard to narrow it down to 10! These all speak to me in different ways for different reasons and I just love them all.

Just for fun, feel free to vote on which one is YOUR favorite. I love seeing what others would choose. :-) The winner will receive a complimentary 8x10 of the winning image. Voting will remain open until Jan. 15th.
