Another Baby Plan Graduate!

Friday, January 27, 2012 7:32 pm

I have been photographing Baby M since she was in her mommy’s tummy. It’s been a fun year and it went by so quickly! She’s such a doll and I will miss seeing her every 3 months. Her 1st birthday session went perfectly. She wasn’t walking just yet, so she was a busy little crawler. We were able to keep her still with a little bit of peek-a-boo, some singing and dancing. And she LOVED her cake. She had some practice a few days before and was ready to go once we set her down and let her go. After a little nudging from her dad, she quickly learned that she didn’t need hands to eat and she was diving in over and over again. We all just sat back and watched her go! Happy 1st Birthday Baby M! It has been a wonderful year. I enjoyed every moment with you and your family! Come back again soon!

Thank you to Erica at Custom Tutus For Tots for making that cute tutu in the 3rd image. And thanks also goes to The Curly Girl Boutique for providing the brown & pink polkadot pettiskirt & headband in the 4th image. There is another picture of this outfit HERE. Both of them are local, so check them out!

Last Session of the Year!

Thursday, December 15, 2011 6:32 pm

And it was PERFECT! We first laid eyes on this beauty when she was just a newborn. And now she is 6 months old! And the way to make her giggle, was to make her dance! I provided a beat with a toy and she swayed and bounced! She was in such a great mood that we tried on a few different outfits and the only outfit she wasn’t thrilled with was the tutu. I pretty much counted on her not caring for it. Something about the texture of the tulle. But as always, with a few tricks, we got her smiling again! Thank you Mommy for a wonderful session! It was perfect to end the year with! And extra thanks for your patience while I dealt with the holiday portrait madness!

You’ve might seen an extra early sneak peek preview of these images earlier. If not, you can see other images on Facebook HERE and on a previous blog post HERE. IThank you to The Curly Girl Boutique for providing the lavender romper, flower headband & the owl hat! Thank you to my good friend and client Erica at Custom Tutu’s for Tots for making a tutu for me to match the owl hat!

6 Month Old “L”

Thursday, December 8, 2011 9:23 pm

I last saw little L at my Cozy Christmas Mini Sessions. He looked different to me since his 3 month old session and I didn’t figure out what it was until he came in a few days later for this 6 month session. It was his HAIR! He had got a hair cut! Oh, he looks so much older now! I mean, his is still a little guy, but very different with his short do! He was a little shy during this time. He clung to mom through out most of the session. But as always, patience and a little love got us the perfect portraits! Can’t wait to see him again in a few more months!

The Curly Girl Boutique provided the monster hat & tie-shirt in the 3rd image.:)
