A house full of girls!

I have been photographing this family since miss Ava was about nine months old.  Then we added miss Chloe, and now miss Sophia.  I really adore spending time with Mom and the girls, they are all so sweet – and beautiful too!  :)   I don’t know how mom does it, but she always seems to have the energy for her girls, and a smile on her face to boot!  We are planning a vintage garden tea party session for the spring….. can’t WAIT!!

And now, introducing miss Sophia.  (I should mention that Mom really loves bows, so I tried to make sure we had a bow in most of the pictures.)

And because I have a sense of humor, I thought everyone might appreciate this “outtake” from our attempt at a sibling shot!  Don’t worry, no babies were harmed during the capture of this image.  ;)

And then this.  Awwwww, happy!

Darling baby boy

I was so excited to meet this family.  With Miss E being almost two years old and Mr. W just being born,  it was a fun morning that included everyone, even Grandma and Grandpa (code name Ambient Grandpa because he’s so good at putting babies to sleep!).   Our little man slept so nicely, and he let us get a nice variety of images – even my most popular “pose” that mom wanted to have (the first picture below).   We were already talking about taking pictures of the kids outside in the future…… ahhhh, how time flies right?

But for now, he sleeps!  Meet the little prince….

So excited to capture this sweet shot.  Mom said this was the first time big sis had given her baby brother a kiss.  Awwwwww!

One Year Old Maggie

I have spent so much time with this family over the last couple years, and it always feels like I’m visiting with old friends.  This particular day was in honor of Maggie, who just celebrated her first birthday.  On one hand, it’s such a joy to see my little babies grow up — but on the other hand, I can’t believe how quickly it goes, not to mention the fact that I feel a little older each time I photograph one of my baby graduates!  :) We spent some extra time doing pictures of Mr. P and Miss Lily Kate, who are both growing up into such beautiful kids.  Big brother loves his little sisters so much and never hesitates to cuddle in with them for pictures (SO cute!).   Maggie was completely disinterested in me (as most one-year-olds are) but I managed to capture the essence of her age — discovery (mostly of the leaves and rocks!).   If you want to go back in time, you can see her NEWBORN images and her SITTING/SMILING images too!

Mom LOVES pictures.  Her home is filled with pictures on almost every wall.  And I’m honored that most of the pictures are ones that I have taken for them.  I should have taken some pictures of the pictures!  ;)  I wanted to get her sneak peek up quickly because I know she’ll be checking!  Enjoy!!!

Happy Birthday Miss Maggie!!!

I have lots of smiley pictures of Peyton, but, at this age, it’s always nice when I can get a natural, peaceful look.  Love him!

And who can resist a little cowgirl like this???

The boy next door

Yep, we have a new neighbor, and he is ADORABLE!  You might remember when I did Latitia’s Maternity Pictures and we had one of the images on the March 2011 cover of Our Town Magazine. Well, life has changed for my long-time neighbors, and now they have a precious new baby boy.  I couldn’t be happier for them and I’m so excited to introduce Mr. Jamison Alan – exactly 7 days old.  :)

Guess who is getting all the sleep in this family????  :)

Beautiful baby Lyon

I’m a little slow on my session shares recently (sorry!).  Here are some pictures from our wonderful session at my studio with my friend Alice Park, and her beautiful baby boy, Christian Lyon.  There were four of us photogs there (five if you include Alice – but she was just watching).  It was awesome!  Lyon didn’t make a peep – just slept the whole time.  Truly a photographer’s baby!  :)

I can’t wait to watch him grow up – and I know there will be tons of  pictures since his mom is a fabulous photographer, with lots of photographer buddies.  Congratulations to Alice & Kyu!  XOXO

Just look at that sweet smile!!

And, of course we had to have a little fun – since mom and dad are the founders of NAPCP!!  ;)

And a few behind the scenes shots:

Yes, even photographers use their iPhones for pictures.  That’s Lisa snapping a photo of Lyon with her Princess ring – in honor of the royal wedding that day.  ;)
