Claire is 6 months!

Miss Claire came into the studio this morning for her six month shoot and she was super duper smiley!  It was cracking me up how big her smile was and how long she would hold it.  I love this age as they are so easy to make happy.  It was definitley obvious when she was done though!  She let me know it... Here's a feew from our shoot...

Kerrington is Six Months

Today was Miss Kerrington's six month shoot and she did fabulous.  It was my first "home" shoot in quite a while and it was so fun to get out and "find the light" and use new space for the backdrop.  Her home was the perfect setting with the neutral decor with pops of color!  She was a trooper and let us do a few outfit changes. She is halfway through her first year and I can't believe how much she's changed.  Check out her newborn and 3 month shoot  too..

Welcome Baby Thomas!

Yesterday I got to do a newborn shoot for my cousin.  This is her second little boy and big brother Will was such a good boy!  After a nice full tummy, little Thomas slept the whole shoot like a champ.  It was also so nice to get time to catch up on chit chat with their mommy whose been my friend since high school...

Tessa-4 months

I got to play with little Tessa the other day and she was such a dolly.  She's already 4 months old and though her big brother wasn't interested in taking pictures, she was happy and easy-going.  We even got a few with mommy!!!

Big girl...sitting up!

Here is miss Olivia, and if you are a follower, you've already seen her twice.  Thats because she's doing my first year plan and now she's 6 months old.  She is getting so big and sitting up which is why I think the six month shoot is so fun!  Here's few from our shoot.  Here mommy had some fun picking out her outfits!

and then darn it, we forgot the hat that went with the first outfit so she was a trooper and changed back into it for a few more shots!

The Hupp Family

The three beautiful children came into the studio yesterday for a photoshoot that was long overdue.  They were a blast to work with, smiling their cute smiles and not complaining about one thing.  I think they even surprised mom with how well the shoot went!  Here's a peek from our shoot...

Carmelita is One

Another one of my first year collection babies is turning one!  I cannot believe how fast time flies...It feels like just yesterday her family was in for her newborn shoot...now she's a big one year old with beautiful blue eyes and curls.  She wasn't too sure of me at first but let me sneak a few smiles out of her...oh, and play with my new raspberry petticoat!

Catching up...

As some of my frequent blog-checkers have informed me...I am letting them down! I haven't blogged for a month and I can't tell you where that month went except that I spent a majority of those days right here at my computer, usually for 15+ hours a day...not blogging of course but creating holiday cards, editing, designing, uploading, downloading, and all that comes with the job. Here were the last few sessions I did in November:

These are my little sisters and of course my mom waited until the weekend after Thanksgiving to ask me to take their pictures, so of course I obliged...a quick outdoor shoot at the park near my home.  I was so happy with how these turned out, and these are just a few!

and this was the front of their Christmas Card this year that I surprised my mom with.

Just two weeks before this shoot I met up with the Palmers for a family shoot and Greyson's birthday shoot and now his little sister Gwen is here!  Oh my, I LOVE my new elf hat and we got the perfect shot in daddy's hands.  I bet they had the best Christmas this year. 

I got to see miss Kate for her 4 month shoot and she brought along her grandpa, grandma, aunt, uncles and cousins to the shoot.  I've known this family since elementary school and it was so fun to see them all again!  The shoot went great, the kids cooperate, even though Kate normally would have been napping at the time of the shoot. 

Catching up....{two}

And some more...

This was my first shoot with the Phelps family and I visited them at their home downtown.  It was a chilly morning so we did some outside and then headed into the warmth to finish up after a quick meal for little Eleanor!  She was such a cutie pie!!!

Adara is one and I can't believe her first year is over :(  I've seen her many times over the past year and she was such a trooper for this shoot.  It was a bit chilly outside but we made it out for some family shots and then headed in doors for more.  Her big sister Naveah must be getting used to me becuase she knew exactly what to do!

Little Mr. Bronx came in for his photoshoot with his big sister Ashtyn and I had such fun time.  He was a little doll and slept almost the entire time and big sis did her thing for most of the shoot and decided she wanted in on the action towards the end, which was perfect!!!

The Hendrick's family was actually a surprise shoot for my husbands aunt and uncle who were celebrating a birthday and a milestone anniversary.
