No sleep for Little Mr. "J!"



We tried everything! The little Mr. just did not want to sleep.... He is 8 days old here and he should have slept like a baby! He is such a strong little guy too! Lifting his head up and everything! I told his Daddy that he will be walking by his three month shoot! Here is a sneak peak for the new Mommy and Daddy... Wide awake and even a little smirk! Love this little guy...

Saturday

What a little poser!



The little pro! This little sweetie had some of the funnest poses ever! Her Grandma told me that she was a poser but I had no idea how good she'd be at it! Here is a sneak peak for her Mommy and Grandma... More to come, but I had to share this one! :) What a little peach!

Thursday

Santa Baby!


Could she be any cuter! The perfect prego belly! With a December due date the Santa theme was a must... So here is a small sneak peak for the Mommy to be.... More to come soon I promise!

Sk8ter Boy!

This is the Sk8ter Boy! I just love this shot of him... He is the twin Brother of my Christmas Beauty you see below... These two are so fun to photograph! We crack jokes the whole time they are here... I love his long bangs! and too think he just had them cut!

Christmas Beauty!


You see it on the LCD... You know it is good.... It is in the back of your mind the rest of the session... It is the first one you open when you upload the CF card... It is Beautiful.... It made her Mom cry.... It is Perfect.. I love this shot!

Tuesday

Meet Max!

This is our newest addition... Mr. Max! We got him when he was six weeks old.. In this shot I think he is about seven weeks... He is following in Koko's footsteps and likes to check out the photography props... He is about twelve weeks now and growing into those ears! My God he has huge ears... I say he looks like a mouse! Koko and Max are buddies too... It is fun to watch them play.. I will get an updated picture soon... He has grown to almost twice the size he was when we got him..

Look who turned two!



This is Koko... Some of you may know him already... He has been used as a tool to make babies smile during my photo shoots! (although that was when you could still pick him up without throwing your back out!) Koko is such the sweet guy... We got him when he was just six weeks old and have watched him grow into the HUGE Cat he is today... He's at least 15 pounds now... Koko decided he wanted to check out the new chair during my last photo shoot... So this one was not planned, but I am sure glad I saw him when I did! Happy B-day Koko!

Sunday

Candy is the bribe of the week!


WOW! I never knew a goodie bag of candy could pay off so well! and it seems candy is the bribe of choice this week! These two guys were such fun! So many silly expressions and wacky-ness! Between the funny faces we managed to get some really great shots! These two guys are gymnasts and I was impressed with their handstand skills... More to come of course but I had to share these B&W's! Love them...

Saturday

The Duckie Park and Jelly Beans...






Megan is always excited to hear that I have a photo shoot at the "Duckie Park." I bring her along sometimes as my assistant to break the ice with little ones... Seems strange but they always warm up to someone their size alot easier. Today the kids had a ton of fun feeding the ducks in between sitting for their pictures... And with a couple jelly bean bribes the wee ones were very cooperative...
PS: More to come Mom and Dad, but enjoy the little sneak peak... It was great seeing you guys today... and I absolutely love these shots!

Supergirl!

Here is my Supergirl! She actually wanted her pictures done. When she asked we headed straight to Great Clips to get her bangs trimmed with no hesitation... When we got home she rang the doorbell and came in just like a regular client! She even threatened to cancel the shoot since I was taking too long on email... We did hair and makeup too... Gotta love it when they will cooperate..

Little Miss Sunshine...

She was up at 5:30 a.m., went to school and only wanted to play while she was here! Halloween pictures, those were the furthest thing from her mind! So once her little Tinker Bell costume came off she "thought" she was done! Little did she know the new petticoats and shirts had arrived! Being done we didn't get alot of smiles from little miss but we got this sweet little expression and it is sure a keeper!

A Ghost dressed up as a Vampire!

You would never know of the bug sucking vacuum sitting just behind me or the Halloween cookie in the kitchen! Two bribes just waiting to be sprung on the boy... But this Vampire did an awesome job! I would tell him to make me some scary faces and he would say "I am a ghost!" So this is his ghost face... Megan says he looks like that scary mask at the store... I think she means the guy from the movie Scream!
PS to Mom: this one was the first one I opened... More to come!

Thursday

The first one I opened!


I have been taking "S's" pictures for about four and a half years now! She is like a niece to me and I have watched her grow into a beautiful little girl... This is literally the first shot I opened to look at and WOW! I just love it... We took these on my new backdrop that I had ordered for the Holiday Season... It is called Crimson! What a fun shade of red for the Holidays... Jen, there are more to come but I had to share this one!

Tuesday

Flowers, Flowers and more Flowers!

Megan loves to color! She will color me a picture everyday.... Flowers are her favorite thing to color and draw.... Today she decided to draw us... I am the one with the green eyes :) We are eating chocolate chip cookies... On the back it says to: Mommy - Love, Megan...

Thursday

Little JJ!


Some of you may remember little JJ. He is also one of my famous babies... I have him displayed in the studio and I hand out his birth announcement as a sample... (he is the newborn in the incredible eye contact shot) When he came last year for his three month pictures it was all we could do to keep his hands out of his mouth! JJ and his Mommy came all the way from New Jersey to visit some friends and family and while here his Mommy brought him to do his one year old shots.. I love this shot of him, the way his little eyes look... and yes his hands in his mouth again!

Monday

He's turning 4!


This is "N." I have been taking his picture since before he was born! (I did his Mom's Maternity shots way back when) I can't believe he is going to be four this month... Where has the time gone?? What a sweetheart he is! You would never know we bribed him with candy corn... :)

Friday

A whole lotta baby!


Meet baby "J." This "little" guy weighed in at a whopping ten pounds even! The day his pictures were taken he turned three weeks old... I told his Mom he was twice the size of the last newborn to come through the studio! He slept like a champ and we even managed to get some awake shots... I will share one once I finish editing his session... What a precious bundle of joy he is...

Wednesday

Can you say intense!

Think Megan is done sitting for me?? If looks could melt your lens this one definitely would! Oh my! My little sweet baby... She doesn't even look real... What an intense glare!

Monday

What a difference a year makes!


This is Miss "M." She is the famous baby that was on my business cards last year... (the shot above) and now look at her... She just turned one and is oh so adorable. She was all smiles today... I can't believe it has been a year... What a doll...

Meet Miss "A"


There is something about a pouty little lip that melts my heart! "A" is Mr. "N's" little sister and she did an awesome job as well... What was funny with these two is that they both wanted to have their picture taken at the same time! There is a sweetness to this shot that I am just drawn to.. As soon as I opened it I knew it was a keeper...

Sunday

Sneak Peak for "C."


This is Mr. "N!" What a little character.... He was sooo much fun! and so full of expressions, he made my job easy! He is about to have his Birthday so his Mommy brought him over to get his pictures done. I just loved this little guy... Keep checking back to see his sweet little sister! Off to proof her shots...

Tuesday

Ruby Red Lips!

This is Miss "H." She has to be the cutest thing ever! We ran out of time on Sunday when I took her sister's newborn pictures, so "H", her Mom and baby Sister came to play today... She has the bluest eyes and red ruby lips! What a combo... and her little personality, can you tell I just love this little sweetie... You would never know that she didn't want to wear the hat!

Monday

Teeny tiny! and oh sooo sweet!


This is baby "G." She made her way into the world six weeks early... I did her Mommy's maternity photos just in time! Little miss came a few days after the shoot! She is just over three weeks old in these and sooo teeny! What a little peach she is... Here is a sneak peak for her Dad, Mom and Big Sister....

Tuesday

One more Niece I swear!

I think I would be in trouble with my sister if I forgot to share this one. Megan has six cousins and four of them are girls... 3 from her Daddy's side and one from my side. I love this picture of "J!" I was so excited to try out the floor length tutu! Now to get some shots of her brothers to share! Wish me luck!

And one of Megan...

Here is one of little Miss Megan... She started Kindergarten this year... Where does the time go??? This one is after a hard day at School... She changed into her comfy PJ's and I decided to snap a couple shots... Gotta love Hello Kitty and that messy hair... (and just in case you are wondering?? Yes that is the lipstick the 80's made famous!)

Number 3...




Here is number 3! I love everything about this shot! From her little kiss-ee face to the green scarf and hat. This one is all "E." Makes me want to just swoop over and hug her!

Precious Moments...


This is my other niece, commonly known as the "middle child!" Since she was very little she has always reminded me of the little "Precious Moments" figurines you can buy at Hallmark... She has such the sweetest little face...

Thursday

My Sweet "little" Niece!




This is my niece! And all I can say is how beautiful she is! I have watched her grow from a toddler into a sweet pre-teen. I told her mother while we were shooting the session that it was making my heart ache to see her looking so grown up and beautiful... (Mom said you, that is my baby!) The camera loves this girl! I wish my skin was as perfect as hers is! To think all she has on is a little lip gloss...

Saturday

It's Raining Moms!



What a fun shoot! N is the second Mom to be to come see me for Maternity Photos this week.. She was such a great sport! N was willing to try out all the new maternity clothes I just bought! (I call them my newest props!) And how cute is her bump peaking through the frame! N there are more to come but I wanted to give you a sneak peak...

Friday

A cutie and a NEW PROP!



How cute is she! I just got my new petti-skirt in the day before this session and I was hoping to use it! I was so excited when M. showed up in a pink tank top that matched. Mom was just as excited, so we snapped a few of M. in the pink and black petti! I love this shot! It is her Daddy-Tickle-Smile!

Sneak Peak for D!

Here is a little sneak peak for the Mom to Be. We had such a fun session! and tried something new with paint! ( I will give you all a peak when I am done editing the session!) D looks amazing and you would never know that this baby makes number three!

Tuesday

Sneak Peak for Cassie!

This is Mr. Madden! For those that follow the blog you may recognize this little guy! He is now two! You would never know by looking at this picture that it was nap time and he was a tired boy... I just love this one... and the pose was all him! A pro already.... More to come...
