Looking for some great accessories???

I recently came across an amazing designer on Etsy and immediately fell in love with her products. They are so stylish and unique. There are a million people making hair accessories for kids on Etsy and other places but hers grabbed my attention in a big way. So you can imagine my excitement when she asked if I would photograph some of her products for her. I have some more goodies on order, but for now thought I would showcase one of her headbands. One of her diaper covers is also featured in the post "Pretty on pink".
You can find her awesome line at http://www.etsy.com/shop/onesisterswhimsy






This look kills me!

One hot mama!

It is way past my bedtime, but I was just so anxious to get this sneak peek up I am up and working. I got to work with the "C" family this afternoon for a maternity session. They are expecting their second baby, a little girl, in about 6 weeks or so. Mom looks amazing and has this beautiful slender body and long, lean lines so I was totally grooving on this kind of high fashion vibe. Lots of long poses, serious faces, and just elegance. I really had a blast. Anyways, without further delay here is one good looking family!

Scheduling updates...

Hi all,
It has been awhile since I posted scheduling updates and not much has changed but that post is buried pretty far down now so wanted to bring it back to the top. Baby planners you are already on my monthly schedules, so not to worry. So here it is and also a recent belly pic of me... I am looking at 3-4 weeks now if all goes as planned! I am excited but sad too knowing this is my last pregnancy and it will be over all too soon. Of course, having the baby in my arms is the ultimate prize BUT I will miss feeling those little feet kicking me and that closeness of having the baby with me all the time. I am so blessed though to have had three amazing pregnancies and two perfect babies in my arms and hopefully one more coming soon. So, for now just enjoying these last weeks and of course having the normal anxiety of worrying about the baby being healthy until I can hold her/him in my arms and see all is well. Sorry about the serious face but I didn't like any of the smiley ones of me, thus the reason I am the photographer and not the model!

Pretty ON pink...

I just have to say that I have sure had a good run of gorgeous babies lately. I am a pretty lucky girl. This is Miss "T" who is now 6 months old. This is our third session together and she has been a perfect angel every time. She wasn't wearing pink today but sure looked adorable on my pink backdrop. I have been getting good use out of it lately with all these baby girls! So, here she is...

There is nothing about this picture I don't love!


I love the look on her face and how her hand is on her knee...


She is too cute in her Easter basket!

Baby blues

I met up this morning with Miss "M" who is now a whopping 6 months old. I had the honor of photographing Mom's belly and also her newborn session, so a sweet treat to get to see her again. She was really good for her session especially considering she only got a 20 minute nap before I got there. Mom is smitten with her gorgeous blue eyes and I have to admit I am too! I love her creamy white skin and giant blue eyes. So, without further delay here is "M".

Love the "lifestyle" style of this one




This is the reason for the title of the post!

"M" is 1 year old

I met up with 1 year old "M" on Saturday. As I got home to check email my laptop told me it could not detect a hard drive and so the drama began. I am still in the process of getting this worked out which is why the sneak peek is so tardy, but such is life I guess. All my editing software is on that computer, so without it I am lost. Anywho, "M" was not really in the mood for pics but we managed to get some adorable ones despite this. I always say 12 month olds are the hardest age to shoot b/c I find they are not easily persuaded to change their mood. It really is a hit or miss with them and I have had to reschedule before b/c it was just so not happening. Thankfully "M" didn't make that happen and although she wasn't totally toothy for many shots, I still love what we got. Mom was a little stressed I think (as we all do when we feel our kids are't cooperating), but I think she will be pleased with what we got despite it seeming like she was cranky the whole time! She is the adorable yawning baby up at the top of the blog at her newborn session. This is the last session of her plan year, so always bitter sweet. Hopefully I will see her again when she has more lovely locks of that gorgeous red hair.

Mom says she is a Daddy's girl


She was playing peek a boo with me (or maybe it was Daddy behind me), so cute!


I don't know why I just love this one so much...


A little festive birthday action. I have been dying to use this new wrapping paper I got at Christmas time :)
