Hey Jude!

Isn't Jude just the cutest? We had to work hard to get some smiles, but it was worth it! His mommy couldn't believe his poker face--she said he's usually cracking up all the time...but he definitely had his serious side showing for our session! I loved getting to know this neat Mom and her boys...and what a beautiful location--we took the photos at Dad's work. I can't imagine WORKING somewhere this beautiful every day!

I love this progression....Jude DID NOT like Mommy sharing her kisses with someone else and quickly pulled her over to him. Adorable!

Three for Tea!

This past week I got to do one of the neatest photo sessions I've ever done. These three adorably sweet girls were in town visiting their grandma:

And every year during their visit they plan a tea party together--complete with a dress up station filled with hats, boas, jewelry, and accessories. Everyone chooses their outfit for tea.

Then a formal tea is served--four choices of tea flavors, dainty sandwiches such as butter and cucumber, and of course yummy treats (I forgot the official tea vocabulary for all of these items...). It was so neat! The girls look forward to this every year (and I think their Grandma does, too!).

After tea there were some fun games such as "Ring around the Rosie."
And then I did a little photo shoot of the girls....They are 4, 6, and 8 and I just loved meeting them! They had the funnest personalities and were just a blast to photograph. Such sweet sisters!
And then a couple with Mom and Grandma!
What a fun, fun day! I am already looking forward to next year!!

A bigger "Little Berry"

I took a few shots of Jacque's baby bump at 6 months, but this week had the pleasure of doing a full maternity session for them...and baby's grown a bit since then!!
I loved capturing their excitement about their little "Berry" who will arrive at the end of August! And Mama is just glowing...

Of course the little gal already has a growing shoe collection...Which scares her Daddy a bit. I am sure he'll have her in a pair of race boots so she can join him out on the racetrack soon enough!

What a fun session and of course I can't wait until that little berry is ripened and ready to arrive!

Ava's One!

Ava is a year old and it was time for some updated portraits! In true toddler form she was ready to run away from the camera every chance she got and definitely DID NOT want Mom or Dad to hold her. That's okay, we had fun capturing her "doing her thing...." playing in the dirt, running around and climbing on benches. That's the joy of a one year old!

Check out those huge brown eyes!!

Baby Brooklyn

I met sweet Brooklyn and her family last week at their home. Momma had some fun props, bows and a tutu all ready for our session! Daddy was a good sport and even got in on the fun. She was wide-eyed the whole session, as hard as her momma tried to get her to sleep. Finally at the end she could stand it no more...just in time, as we put her in the hammock from the tree and got some great sleepy-girl shots!

My favorite two newborn "poses" are a yawning photo and a screaming photo. I love capturing each of these moments...and of course I had to share! :)
