This was my 5th session with this little beauty, if you count her in-belly session, and it’s just as fun as usual.  She had her own agenda which consisted of playing, playing and more playing.  I couldn’t ask for me.  I love capturing babies doing the things they love, playing with, or in this case loving/hugging/kissing, their favorite toys – so cute.  I still can’t believe baby G is one, and I am thankful I’ve had the pleasure of documenting her first year!  Happy birthday…and many more

S & B – thanks for having me over at your place!  Hope you enjoy this little peek…

Where do I begin with C’s session?  My first “bug cycle” graduate!  This was our third session, and in a few short months he went from being a reserved barely-sitting baby to a walking, tooth-ful grinning ham (I will not call him a toddler – won’t do that to mom ).  He is soooo cute, full of expressions and affection. I even got a couple of hugs, which just melted my heart…I wanted to take him home with me.

This sneak is over-due…I’ve had some machine problems and was put on stand-still until my replacement came in.  I am still not 100% where I was, but at least I can get some work done.

Baby L is easy going, happy, and oh so pretty!  Her grunts kept us all laughing throughout the session.  She’s grown so much since our session last fall: she’s got some pretty pearly whites, added solids to her expanding menu, and is on the go, crawling all over the place.  I can already tell her one year session is going to be a blast, but I’ll need some tennis shoes to keep up with her  She’s a pleasure to work with, and you can just tell there’s so much love in her precious family.

It’s been a crazy busy season, and it’s almost winding down. I am about 20 kids and 10 families behind on the blog – so I might never catch up on that. Clients – you’ll be getting your galleries right in time for my Nov 20th order deadline, so please do not delay if you want those prints & products as Christmas gifts.

I am planning some exciting changes for next year, and I am really thrilled about all the possibilities. I attended two AMAZING workshops, and I can’t wait to put some of what I learned into play. I am thinking of creative ways to be more green – so I’ll be incorporating that into my work flow, and my product line. My poor website galleries are in desperate need for updates, so you’ll have to excuse the dust while I clean those up.

Also be on the lookout for the end of year contest, and some really exciting events at the beginning of the year. I am going to end this year with a bang of newborns – and I can’t wait to meet them all. I promise to be better about blogging sneaks, so don’t give up on my blog

I’ll leave you with this precious photo of my nephew taken on Halloween. Isn’t he the cutest!?!!

I met this little beauty before she was born, and had the pleasure of photographing her again when she was only days old. She recently celebrated her first birthday, and I just couldn’t believe how grown she is. I still see the same cute chubby cheeks from a year ago, but that dark hair turned almost white blond, eyes are bright blue, she walks, and “talks” and handled the cold better than I did. What a fun girl.

C & G – It was great seeing you again

Miss L turned one less than a week ago. She’s been walking for a while, and I can tell! I usually have a to work hard catching up with two year olds, but one years olds too!?!! She was fast, and kept me on my toes. She is as cute as can be, was happy running around, smelling flowers, and “talking” the cutest gibberish sentences ever, that were only topped by her dance moves. I wished I had a video camera with me for that precise moment

C – Nice meeting you, and I hope you enjoy your preview!

This was my third session with Baby G (not counting when she was still in her mommy’s belly), and she just continues to grow more beautiful. Despite being under the weather, she went along with the outfit change, the overcast chilly day, and was all smiles & expressions. I love her two new teeth – too cute! She’s already on the go and, for her mom’s sake, I hope she takes her time taking that first step!

S – always a pleasure to hang out with you and G! I hope she’s feeling better.

You might remember little E from her previous session. Four short months later, and she has a couple of teeth, she can sit on her own pretty well, and she was chanting “da-da” through out the session. She still has the same gorgeous blue eyes, and a smile that just brightens anyone’s day! She sure brighten mine

Can’t wait to see you at ONE, E!

J – great catching up with you again! I was worried that I might have missed a shot of her little teeth, but I’m happy to say, I got more than one (see one of them below).

Meet 3 month old baby L. She’s so sweet and beautiful. You can see the connection with her parents is already so strong: her bright blue eyes just light up when they smile at her, and she can’t help but smile back. What a pleasure to work with! I look forward to seeing her grow, and documenting her precious first year.

K & J – Great meeting you. Here’s your precious princess:

You may remember C from his 3 month session a few months ago. He’s one of my “bug cycle” babies, and it’s so much fun to watch him grow. He tried to play Mr Serious again, but it did not last long before he loosened up, gave me a few smiles, and lots of great expressions. He’s such a charmer. He’s standing with help, and he’s on the verge of crawling, so watch out, mom & dad, your restful days are numbered

C & M – It was really hard picking those few for the sneak, because there are so many more that I like. The first one is one of my favorites – I just love how he’s showered with that great light! Hope you love those as much as I do!
