C is for...

You know the saying, "Boys will be boys."  Well this guy is a genuine boy...he was riding around there with a motorized scooter-concerning his mom who would have preferred not to scrub grass stains.  I must say though he is quite charming with his looks, and was an awesome sport when it came for his turn in front of the camera.

I can only imagine what great and mighty things you might accomplish when your grown with all your energy!!

Sweet Nicole

"Hi, I'm Nicole...all the sweetness you might ever want to meet.   My mama and this picture lady LOVE the coffee shop, and we hang out there sometimes...alot. " 

Okay, enough already is what you're thinking...I know!  This is my sweet friend Carrie's  daughter; and little miss has all the sweetness she could inherit from her mom.   Here's Nicole!

So after the first few shots, Nicole was sure we had plenty of pictures and it was time to play...definitely NOT sit still in front of the camera.  Well having boys myself that have been in this stage of life...I realized it was time to bring out the ICECREAM.  Yay!!!

It  did the trick...plus made all of us just a little stickier.

Love you, Nicole! 

Erik

Yes, I little delayed, but this is my baby's one year shoot.  He turned 1 in May.  He has brought so much happiness to our family. He is little Mr. independent with a sensitive side.  Loves sandboxes, ring around the rosy, and playing with big brother.  There are few things that warm my heart as much as his generous kisses when I come home from work.  Thank you God, for blessing our lives with this little man!

As you may have guessed, he is ALL boy and does NOT sit picture perfect all the time, as my pictures might portray.

So to prove this I must include a picture of one of his shenanigans.  (This is not the worst...after this he proceeded to climb to the TOP of the ladder and stand there hands-free...after that...he was lying in a heap on the ground!  And you wonder why I'm getting gray hair??

I love you from the bottom of my heart, Erik!  So blessed to have my blue-eyed boy!

Babies, Babies, Babies

Tis baby season for my camera...loving it!!  If all babies were as good as these three, well...I think I'd have a dozen!  These sessions were all on top of each other, but that's okay, because then all the props could stay packed and ready to go! 

Here's the first one...EVAN SETH...sweet has pie.  You could tell he has an older brother and sister, because all my jostling didn't seem to phase him much 

And I couldn't resist adding a pic of the happy brother and sister.

Next came EMMALYNN BROOKE...I was delighted have a baby girl shoot, since it seemed the world was seeing many more new little boys than girls.  Again a picture perfect little angel...who conveniently slept and let me do my thing!  Blessings little girl!

My 14 month old just absolutely adored Emmalyn...He was trying so hard to be gently and give her kisses and her nuk as she slept.  It's amazing how they grow, because not so long ago he was teeny tiny like her!

Last but not least is lovely SARA LYNN.  She is every photographers dream.  Headful of dark hair and all cuddly.  It was a nice evening, so I actually attempted her shoot outside.  Outdoors is my favorite, so hers to Sara Lynn...little sweetheart!

Here's to all the babies! Sweet, lovable, and a bit of heaven on earth!!!
