The Little Prince

This is a very sweet boy, I have nick named him the little Prince, because his name reminds me of a famous Disney Prince. He was a true sweet heart, and I loved photographing him. He made me laugh with his infectious giggle. In the above picture he is wearing his great grandfather's baby outfit.
Here he is modeling a beautiful blue sweater that his mom made him! It is so cute! It's even got silver whale buttons.
A sweet moment between mom and son.


He's not quite ready to stand on his own yet, so at this stage he still needs a little help from mom.
What a sweet face!


I love this one, because his mom was slowly scratching his back to soothe him, he was getting worn out at this point. His mom knew just what to do. He loved this!


I love this photo of mom and baby.
Rubber ducky, which he loved to chew on!
Everything goes in the mouth at this age!

I loved this guy, I hope to see him many more times!

The "L" Family

I photographed this family yesterday. I just loved this family! The kids were really good. The nine month old, as expected had to be worked with in spurts, as they don't really go for sitting in one place for too long. The five year old was super good, she loved taking photos, and had some suggestions a few times. She eventually had enough, but never complained!





She brought her American Girl doll along, which I thought was so cute. It's nice to bring along something they are really into right now. She really loves her doll, and told me all about her trip to the American Girl Doll Store.
What an amazing thing! We actually got everyone looking at the camera and smiling at the camera! That's an accomplishment!


I love this, cause it was totally spontaneous! Baby wasn't really happy, and mom suggested that dad should swing baby upside down, because he liked that! Well, I kept snapping, and we got this! I just think it's too funny! Oh, and they take a photo of him with the monkey every month to show his growth. That's why monkey is there.
Love this, cause it was spontaneous as well. Big sister just decided to pull brother in and kiss him! He didn't really love it, but I thought it was awfully sweet of her.




He loved to put things in his mouth, and this train would keep him happy.
I know, it's a sad face, but look how cute he is! I love that pouty lip!
Nine month olds like to grab things, so this wasn't the easiest pose to get. Putting his letters in front of him, was far too tempting. I did get some other good shots, but I love this one, because it really shows his stage in development. Grabby, grabby guy!

The "F" family

I had the pleasure of photographing these kids and their mother a few days ago. Their father is in Iraq right now. I'm sure he'll enjoy these photos. I love a lot of these. I will have a hard time choosing a few to put on my website. When I played these in a slide show for their mom (my friend) I played it with the song, "let them be little", by Billy Dean. She was crying in no time, I didn't mean to make her cry, but it made me happy to see that she liked them so much. Of course the sappy lyrics had nothing do with it!

Oh, and the little guy, was a tough nut to crack. He made us work for a smile. Luckily his mom seemed to be able to get him to give a few cute smiles up for me to capture.

Well, here are some of the photos I love...
