Anticipation- Sneak Peek

This adorable family is eagerly awaiting the birth of their new sister!  Look at how perfect Mom's belly is!  We met up at a local park on an absolutely perfect summer evening-it was beautiful!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

"F" Family Sneak Peek

This wonderful family got up early in the morning (on Father's Day) to make use of the beautiful light after sunrise.  Baby "R" is just about to turn one and is on the go!  Big Brother "G" was a great model and got a lollipop at the end for his efforts!  Enjoy your Sneak Peek!
And Happy Father's Day out there to all of the wonderful husbands, dads and grandpa's- including my own!

New to the World- Sneak Peek

This little guy tried SO hard to stay awake; at one point he had one eye open and one eye shut!  He succeeded in the beginning but finally gave in to the warm room and full tummy.  Baby "G" is such a happy baby; he smiled throughout the entire session!  Enjoy your sneak peek

Would you like a glass of lemonade?

My mom thinks this photo should be titled "Business isn't what it used to be"!!!
I'm not one to stop at garage sales, but when we passed one on our street and I saw this lemonade stand- I HAD to have it!  It is so cute and the perfect photography prop!  I can't wait to use it in my sessions!

A Little "Sass"- Sneak Peek

I love when (almost) 2 year olds have a little "sass" and Little "H" certainly does!!!  She wasn't too sure of me and my camera at first, but I won her over with balloons!  She was such a trooper- all smiles, even when we were just yards away from a playground that she couldn't convince her Mom to take her to just yet.  We had a great session and got a lot of great captures!

Kodak Moment of the Month Finalist!

A month or two ago, I entered one of my favorite pictures of Ella in to a Baby Photo Contest held by Kodak. Today I received an email announcing the top 25 finalists (out of over 15,00 entries!) and my picture was chosen!!!  Go to Kodak Gallery to view the finalist slideshow!  Do you see Ella?  She is number 10!

Almost 9 months!

Today is last day that Ella will be 8 months; tomorrow she turns 9 months old!  Where has the time gone?

Butterflies!

One of the requirements to being a boy is that you must like bugs.  Well, Derek definitely does.  He received a "butterfly pavilion" for Christmas and we received the baby caterpillars a few weeks ago in the mail!  We watched them as they transformed through their life cycle and we released the butterflies out in the back yard to live out the remaining days of their life!  Derek LOVED holding them on his hands and I thought he may even cry once they were all gone- but he just wanted more bugs!  We now have ants coming to us in the mail from the same company.....

"Little" Man- Sneak Peek!

I had the pleasure of photographing this "little" man again!  The "V" family's first sneak peek is here. He is now 3 months older and SO much bigger!  Mom took advantage of my Mother's Day Special gift certificate and jumped in front of the camera for a few with her precious boy.  Such a sweet family!

"J" Family Sneak Peek

I had the pleasure of meeting the "J" family today; they are expecting their 2nd baby boy in TWO weeks!  The grandpa and grandmas joined in the fun too!  Such exciting changes they will all be going through very soon....  Enjoy your sneak peek and I can't wait to meet your newest addition when he arrives.
