a hot one!

Well, summer is here!  We started early, but it was still HOT!  Mom, Dad and Mr. J did great and we all pretended like it didn’t bother us at all… 

Mr. J is another First Year Graduate.  I can’t believe all my babies are “graduating”!!!  Why does the time seem to go by sooooo fast as you get older?  I remember when I was a kid (YES, I can remember that far back) and I used to WISH for the time to go faster so I could do the next big thing (drive, get a job, go to college, etc, etc.).  Oh how I wish I could have some of that “free” time back!  :)

Anyway – back to the pictures.  Mr J is just as sweet as pie – even if Mom and Dad are some of my fiercest poker competitors (hee-hee!).  Happy (belated) Birthday!

neighbors, friends and TWINS

I’ve said it before and I will say it again – our neighborhood is singlehandedly repopulating the earth!  I think the last RSVP for the neighborhood BBQ was forty-something adults and thirty-something kids!  When we moved into our house in 2004, we all enjoyed kid-free happy hours and adult dinner nights.  Now, it’s a kid frenzy at every event – and it’s so much fun.  

Steph was one of my first maternity & newborn clients – so I can’t believe I’m already photographing her TWIN GIRLS while miss Caden is 2+ years old!  Lucky me, beautiful subjects all around!

See what I mean???  Just gorgeous!  Not to mention that Mom is just recovering from a C-section and she’s out and about like Superwoman!

As most people know, it’s very difficult to get a good sibling picture with a baby – let alone TWO babies – but Caden was a great little model and she adores her sisters.

Sometimes I forget that I live in the South (being from California) until a client whips out something like THIS!  Just look at these little hats!  Steph said, and I quote, “Don’t be surprised if we pick one of these pictures for the announcements!”  I contemplated not showing them to her and saying that my camera broke or something – but they are kind of cute!  :)

happy birthday!!!!

I really can’t believe that Mr. C and Mr. J are ALREADY one year old!!  It feels like yesterday when I did their NEWBORN session!  We had so much fun in the park – and they were great subjects.  It was HOT, but we made it through – with great images to boot!

Mom was telling me about how they amuse each other in the car.  They are going to be so fun growing up!

Just look at the beautiful eyes on these two!

A fun birthday picture.  I had my friend make me a couple “boy” birthday hats…… aren’t they cute???  :)

I’m so glad I got to document their first year.  Such a precious time for mom & dad – it passes so quickly.

all about the canvas

Now, I don’t make any claims to be a “product” photographer – but I just wanted to share some canvas prints that I have done.  They really do make a true work of art for your home.  I have several hanging at the Shoppe of Vinings in case you want to see some samples in person (or if you just want to do some shopping!)

shy but sweet!

I had a fun morning in the park with mom and miss “E”.  It’s such a sweet age – when they are just learning to talk and they REALLY want to explore the world.  But, at the same time, they can be shy and cautious – and just want to stay with mommy.  You’ll see by the pictures, we got the best smiles when miss “E” was with her mommy.

This was sooooo funny – we gave her the little lollipop so she would let us put the tu-tu on.  But she really wanted the “candy” off the stick.  She wasn’t quite sure what to do with it.  Once she figured it out, she didn’t know to close her mouth around the lollipop – so the result – droooooool city baby!  Mom and I had a good laugh.  :)
