Family Fun

I had a risky session Friday night. I say risky because we were really taking a chance with the weather. It held out for us thankfully and we got our session done. I got to meet with the "B" family who won a gift certificate at a charity auction, so that was fun to meet them. They have two funny kiddos. "L" is a talker, much like my son, and little "G" was all girl. She was soooo excited about my pink chair and umbrella. She wasn't really into being my friend until I brought the goodies out :) I got some wonderful shots of them. Lots of great candid moments with genuine smiles and lots of fun. Here are a few of my faves from the session...

I feel special...

My second session yesterday was a sweet couple expecting their first baby. The sex is a secret to everyone but them, so I know everyone is soooo ready for this baby to get here. I always feel special when I am chosen to be the one to document this momentous occasion. Due to scheduling we were pushing this session to the end, so this baby should be here within 2 weeks, FUN! So, check back soon for the big reveal. In the meantime, here is this beautiful belly...

Baby A

I got up VERY early this morning to meet baby A for an 8 AM photo shoot. We decided to try and beat the heat and the harsh sunlight by meeting early and it worked out. It was still a little hot but nothing compared to later in the day. It always makes me giggle the antics we as parents (or grandparents in this case) go through to make our little ones smile. We had Mom, Dad, and Grandma in on it this morning. I don't know what they were doing but it sounded like a lot of hard work and "A" seemed to appreciate it. This was our second session together and she told us both times when she was done. I always like when the baby calls it quits because I often will just keep on going and going when I am having a good time with a happy baby. So, onto the peeks...

This smile was thanks to Grandma...




Love the colors and how she is peeking out...

Beautiful "R"

Miss "R" was back for her 9 month session last week (yes I am a little late on blogging!). In my defense I did post to my facebook page in a timely manner :) Anyways, I super adore "R" to the point I am sure her Mom and Dad are tired of me telling them how adorable she is. I could seriously photograph her every day. She never disappoints. We ended up scheduling our session for around noon outdoors which I never do because the light is way too harsh. With her nap schedule and my schedule that is what worked best. However, we were expecting rain at 2 so I hoped we would have some good cloud cover. We ended up with the most amazing light and for noon this was an even more amazing day. Just as I pulled out of the parking lot the drizzle started, PERFECT timing. I think I should start scheduling all my sessions just before storms if I could get that light again :) Just kidding, too risky. Anyways on with the pictures...

Look at this light at 1:00 in the afternoon with no shade!

Love a rolly polly

This is baby "S", a sweet 4 week old. She has had four weeks of milk to chunk her up to delicious rolly proportions! She was really great for our short and easy session. She gave me lots of easy sleep and good stretches and yawns. I look forward to watching this cutie grow, grow, grow as the years go by. Another sneak peek to come soon of the ever adorable "R". I am back in the full swing of things, so check back at least weekly to see what I have been up to. You won't be sorry!
