sweet baby boy

I met a wonderful family of three last week (and grandma too) and we had fun taking lots of pictures of this little sweety on his two-week birthday.  At first he wasn’t the most willing participant but finally he got sleepy (for a little while) and we got some adorable shots.

First up – an antique crib that had been passed down several generations.  Isn’t it sweet….

Had to include the close up of the lips – so mushy and sweet.

and the feet – soooo tiny……

I’m a sucker for daddy and baby pictures – they are usually my favorites.  This is no exception – just look at little Mr. M’s face.

The whole family.  I love how he’s holding dad’s finger with one hand and clinging to the passy with his other hand.

And I know this will bring a smile to mom & dad’s face.  I won’t tell the story behind the picture – it will be our secret! :)

do you recognize her????

this is miss “J” – her gorgeous eyes got me a spot on the Showcase School of Photography website this semester! :)   You can click here to see the picture – or you’ll see it on my scrolling slideshow at the top of the page.

This young lady is the strong survivor of open-heart surgery earlier this year at the young age of SIX MONTHS!  She is amazing and so are her parents.  We had fun taking pictures – and even got some smiles this time around (she was soooooo serious for our last session).

Oh, those eyes….. just couldn’t resist the close up….

A big smile or laugh – not sure which!

Oh my gosh – sooooo cute right?!  I look at this picture and think of when my daughter had the chubby baby rolls – and now she’s like a little string bean!  It happens overnight (if only that could happen to me!!)

The wonderful family of three! (Back to the serious faces from miss J)

This picture was so funny to me.  Miss J doesn’t have any interest in crawling yet – but she sure wanted to get this block.  She was stretching as far as she could – thinking I’m a real meany I’m sure!

Thanks mom & dad for including me in your journey this first year.  I know it’s been challenging and I’m honored that I could help you document some beautiful moments to keep forever!

a blog post to make you smile…

I couldn’t help it – I had to do a little collage of some of the funny “sites” I captured of these kids.  I love this family!  This is my third time photographing them and we always have a great time.  Brother and sister are really sweet together and they both have a wonderful sense of humor (as you can see).  What a difference a year makes – check out last year’s sneak peak HERE.

So, first up, the funny stuff….

But seriously – these two are so cute and sweet.  I love this one of handsome big brother (it’s hard to get a shot without a funny face – he’s full of them)!

And little sister with her infectious smile.

And – everyone knows how I love the kisses…..

Some kisses for Dad too (he missed the Falcons game to take family pictures with us).

Mom has been through a lot this year – so I help these pictures make her smile! :)

the weekend begins…

with this precious little one!  The weather worked out perfect for us – and there were leaves EVERYWHERE from the mini storm Friday night.  This little doll just turned one and she caught on to me pretty quickly (avoiding my camera at all cost by the end).  We got some wonderful smiles and I had such a good time with mom & dad.   Thanks for spending your Saturday morning with me! :)

Meet miss “T”

Love this one – so happy!

Can you believe the leaves???  You could barely see the ground!  This adorable smile came after a little snack – and with some peek-a-boo from mom!

A lollipop picture with a little vintage flair…. :)

just a great wednesday morning!

I was a little nervous before this session because Mom told me she had a 4 year old, 2 year old and 6 month old.  Me being pregnant and all, I wasn’t sure how good I would be at chasing them all down to get some great pictures.  But, there was nothing to worry about because these three little ones were SO happy, well behaved, funny and cooperative (especially the baby).  Mom and Dad were super energetic and ready to do all kinds of acrobatics for some smiles – and we got plenty!

I know I’ve said a million times – but can’t help it – I love my job!  This is the SUPER BUSY season, but it’s just so much fun to meet so many new people and their families.  Helping people capture what will hopefully be treasured moments in time.  It’s really, really cool! :)

So, meet this beautiful family of five…..

This is Mr. “B” – The oldest brother (only 4 though) and I have to tell you, he brought me to tears playing the piano in their living room.  It was truly like seeing a miracle.  He doesn’t read music and hasn’t had lessons – just plays from what he hears.  AMAZING!

Ahhh, the middle child, full of personality and spunk!  Meet Mr. “W”

Had to include this one – do you see what’s about to “greet” older brother……?

And sweet baby “L” who didn’t make a peep through several clothing changes, missing her nap and being dragged outside in the cold.

The whole family.  Mom said she wasn’t prepared to actually be IN the pictures – but I’m so glad they went with it.  So cute!!

A sweet moment with baby “L”.    Thanks “H” Family for sharing your morning with me!
