BABY GIRL: the serious session

You can't tell from from these pics but poor little girl was getting over a cold on the day of the session. She did manage to flash some smiles at me and who can resist her baby blues? We did pull out all the stops--including the pink and purple singing purse. I'll be Daddy is the first to see these--he's as excited about his baby girl's photos as any proud mama. :)

BABY GIRL and TODDLER: a girl and her pony

I've been photographing this family since May, 2008 and it's a joy watching them grow (the kids AND the family). Youngest is 4 months old and doing what 4 months old do (smile and smile). The next youngest is just a charming, playful little girl and seems to enjoy the photo sessions as much as I do.

Isn't She Lovely?

I photographed my dear friend and her 4 month old baby and I just think they are the prettiest pair. I don't often show mom and their new baby because I usually just want to show off the baby, but when they look this good together, how can I resist? Thanks for sharing baby M with me for the morning. And thank you for being one of my greatest encouragers along this road of photography.




How cool is that hair??

My Niece at 4 Months

I SO wish my sister lived closer--but since we're miles apart (she's in Southern Cal), I have to make the most of the time we have together. She stayed with me for a week and we got haircuts together, went grocery shopping together, took care of each others' kids-and of course, had a photo shoot for her baby right before she left. Those lashes are REAL!

Cheeky baby!

I just love chubby (cheeky) babies! And then when they smile, there's just more cheeks! This little one probably wins the "long lasting model" award in her age category. She was so patient and we were able to go to almost every room in the house for a variety of shots.

The Golden Age-4 months new

I have very fond memories of my kids at 4 months and photographing this little 4 month old baby boy reminds me of that blessed stage of life. This particular baby boy was alert and smiling and did not run from me. (My 4 year old son, on the other hand, is sleepy when we're shopping and running from me when we're in the parking lot). Ahh...to have a 4 month old again.

















Big sister was very cooperative too. :)
