Lasting Memories Captured

Enchanted forest awaits...

So, I love the kids I photograph and some you just want to keep - this was the case :)   I ADORE this yamminess in all his glory!!!  I would of kept him too, hehe, I am sure I would hear some objections (mommy/daddy and my own kids)... But in all honesty, if you ever need a few hours off, feel free to drop him off - OH, as long as I have permission to point my camera at him... LOL... I mean, seriously, he is just so adorable its impossible to take all that cuteness :) 

I cant wait to photograph Mr. M's 1st Birthday over this long holiday weekend - I am more then sure I will LOVE every minute of it!!!

Thank you very much for sharing your sweet baby boy with me this year!  Here are some of my favorites from this session and a quick glance back as well...

Twins become older brothers...

I photographed these twins when they turned ONE... Now, they are big brothers!!!  I am so glad I got the photo of all 4 boys of the family together!  After we got the photos, the  big brothers were on their way to day care and Mr J. stayed for his own session.  Here are a few of my favorite images

 

A proud big sister

I got to photograph Ms O a few times in the past, this time around she became a big sister to her adorable new baby sister Ms S.  Active 3 year olds are not always willing to pose for photos arund their new siblings - heir whole world turns upside down, they are no longer the only focus of everyone's attention, everyone goes goo-goo-gaga over the new baby and you are told "don't touch" and "be quiet" so much more often then before...  But we managed to get Ms O in the proper set of mind to get in and pose with her sweet sister.  Here are a few favorite photos from the session

The sweetest boy ever

OK, so I posted 1 photo from this session on my facebook fan page (photo of the day) and I am sure many would love to see more images from the session :)

What can I say about this kid - I LOVE HIM to pieces.  I photographed him in his mommy's belly and when he was first born.  I was really looking forward to this session, as I loved working with his first go-around...  The session was totally perfect - marking the milestone of Mr E turning ONE - he laughed, and played peek-a-boo, and clapped, and crawled, he showed off his teeth and all his skills he has learned.  I can't say enough how adorable, calm, and sweet natured this kid is.  He is totally adored and he bathes in the love and you can see the love in every move he makes :)  Thank you very much for sharing your sunshine with me and I wish him and you continued love, joy and health! 

 

Seeing old friends...

At times, I get to photograph people who I have known a very long time but have not seen in a long time...  Such was the case with this family.  I went to highschool with the mommy of these adorable kids and it was AMAZING to see the familiar traits of someone you knew as a child repeat in their own kids.  Sometimes, the resemblance is found not just in looking alike, but also in the mannerism and the way one speaks. 

I was told "You have always had your way with the camera"... And right there and then I remembered, the first thing I ever purchased with my own money was a CAMERA :)  I always had a camera with me in highschool and even in my year book people wrote "keep that camera handy"...  Thank you for reminding me of that!

Here are some of my favorite images of the kiddies, their mommy and their grandma who looks just the way I remember - beautiful and strong :)  Mr D is one funny character - typical 3 year old - full of energy, wonder, and curiosity!  Love the photos of him with his baby sister Ms M.  It was funny to capture how he was trying to copy me when I winked at him!  I wish you and your family all the best and thank  you for having me photograph the moment when you welcomed a baby girl into your lives :)
