I always love it when these two come in for a session. We usually shoot on location but decided to do some studio shots this time. Baby ‘G’ wasn’t too thrilled about having to pose with his sister, either, but I did get a composite of the two together! Yeah, I got tricks up my sleeve!

And I know this is a large share - and I had to make myself stop adding more to the post. Sorry, ‘L’, but it will be hard to choose! :)

Jaidean: Gorgeous kids! Love the color on these - great work!

Shawna: GORGEOUS!!! What stunning children and amazing work!

Jennifer B: Wow, those are some beautiful children! Love all of the different expressions you captured. It's hard to pick, but I think my fave is the one of the two of them - love how she's squeezing him!

Amanda: Phew these are beautiful kiddos! Just love the perfect skin and the gorgeous eyes in all of them, but that older girl is knock your socks off gorgeous! JUST WOW!

Katie Lou: What cute children! Great capture of them together and Big Sis sure knows how to work the camera!

donya: Oh my, the photos of the boy on the chair are just simply lovely. So adorable!

Little ‘A’ is a young lady now! I’ve been photographing her since she was a newborn! She has changed so much since her one year session, Mom wanted to get a few updated shots. We did a mini session, which can be a challenge at that age, but she was great! A little sass but a whole lot of fun, too!

Speaking of sass, I seriously can’t look at this without laughing out loud. She was not difficult during her session at all, but she just HAD to sneak in a little sass in there! Too funny!

Anette: Oh my goodness, what a awesome way of capturing a 2 year old!! She's so cute and I loooove all her fun expressions. That first one make me laugh as well...I would love to have captured that of my child. You seriously are amazing at bringing out her personality...I can see it in every single one of these. Her outfit is so cute too...love the pink with her blond hair. Seriously perfect!!

Lisa Kryschuk: Those are adorable!!!! Love that first one!!!

dsr: Gorgeous Robbie! Love that first one! But the whole shoot looks like it was a lot of fun (or at least as fun as two year olds can be)

Megan: What a cutie. She has such big personality in these. And great variety.

Amber: Oh my goodness, she is a DOLL!! Love her sass!

Gen: These days it's so refreshing to see a studio photographer with such great work. I loved these! :)

I have a new studio space and wanted to test some things out, so ‘A’ was kind enough to bring back baby ‘N’ for a few more shots. We also got some of her big sister, who just turned 2, in on a few as well! ‘B’ loves Princess and the Frog so her mom had an exact replica made of the gown! So gorgeous! She wasn’t too thrilled to be in it, though - she kept saying ‘OUT’ and pulling at the bodice. I did managed to get a few shots of her in it, though!

Here are a few of baby ‘N’…

And Miss ‘B’, or Miss Thang, as her mommy called her!

And although we were going for softer, more romantic setups, Miss ‘B’ was enchanted with the white Cyclorama wall. She thought it was her stage! So funny! So, I got a few with a white, high key setup for a completely different look.

I must say, my post pregnancy brain was in full swing during this session. I could NOT get the girl’s names right. NOT ONCE. Once again, so sorry, ladies, for my temporary amnesia! You guys were such troopers about it all! I even blanked on mom’s name once and I’ve known her for over 3 years!! HA!

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! My blogging is behind, as you know, so the gallery will soon follow!

I always love photographing Miss ‘L’. Mom wanted a few of her new baby boy and her soon-to-be stepdaughter as well, but most of this session was dedicated to Miss ‘L’. I had so much fun with them!

We did this session in the early morning to get ahead of the heat and to take advantage of yummy morning light. It was perfect! If you are wanting a summer session but don’t want to be in the heat, this is the way to go!

Thank you guys for getting up so early and meeting me for this session! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

This sneak peek is way overdue - I’m very behind on blog updates! Although I cannot complain about my pregnancy as it’s been very easy, I am still not working at normal capacity, which has put me behind. I’m so thankful for my clients who have been so understanding!!! Thank you for being patient with me!!

Sweet ‘P’ family, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! Gallery will be up soon!

Got to meet up with this lovely family last week - 3 families and the grandparents! It was a gorgeous day but no wind so it was hot hot hot!

One of the families stayed behind for more shots and we moved to the top of the hill at the Victorian garden. Ah, so much better! There was a nice breeze there, which made all the difference!

Thank you, ‘S’ family, for thinking of me - it was great meeting all of the family!

I love this in black and white, too!

These were taken at the Victorian garden with the ‘S’ family. I’ve been photographing them since their youngest, little Miss ‘M’, was 3 months old! It was great to spend some time with them again!

blog748

Now this little one, Miss ‘M’, is now 2 years old. And typical for that age, she was constantly on the move and very difficult to photograph, but oh so cute!

blog750

Now this young man was a ham and would pose for me every chance he got!

blog751

Another poser here!

blog754

And love this shot of mom and dad! It just screamed black and white…

blog752

And this shot has a story all its own. Miss ‘M’ wanted to use her brother’s heads as bongo drums. They just patiently let her bang away on their heads! What a riot! LOVE this shot!

blog753

Thanks again you guys! More to come soon!

I can’t believe how much ‘S’ has changed since I started photographing her at 4 months old! She has beautiful, auburn curls and such a sweet personality. Big brother, ‘D’, wanted to get in to the action as well so we got a few shots of him, but I must say he needs a session all his own. He was way too busy for my camera!

Here is a sneak peek! Thank you so much, Juli, for bringing your kiddos out and allowing me to have fun photographing them!
