kids with props

And the world welcomes Spencer! We did all of Spencer's newborn portraits here at my studio...what a gem!  She slept like a little angel while we swapped out tutus, hats, and bows. :)  Lily (big sister) is so proud of her baby sister and was generous with hugs and kisses for her. Congratulations Jaime and Clay, love your two precious little girls! The many faces of Lily...she cracks me up! I'm pretty sure she was smiling because she loves being photographed! ;)

I was able to go visit my dear college friend up in North Carolina last month and meet her 9 month old baby boy for the first time.  It was so fun, he was such a little ham! So as much as I love Florida and the beaches, I have to say the state of NC is quite lovely!  I really enjoyed my time up there and was able to take their family portraits in their own backyard.  Yes, I know what you are thinking, you'd like to rent out their backyard for your family portraits...well that can be arranged! Haha :) And to the 'S' family...love and miss you all! Love baby feet!!!!

I love seeing how much this little pumpkin grows in between shoots, it also amazes me how fast time keeps flying!  As always, this angel hangs in there while we change, primp, fuss, and change some more.  And now onto planning her one year shoot. :) And...Happy Easter!!!

I'm back!  I'm emerging from my cave of editing, scheduling,  and planning long enough to blog.  I had to post these photos...oh how I love the beach this time of year.  And to add to that love, I get lucky with this cute munchkin!  This little princess is at the age where she is copying everything you say...so fun!  And then when I saw her a week later, she remembered me...then pointed to my husband and asked "who's dat?"  Too cute!  To start out with her photos is one of my favs...

Today is mass editing day!  Trying to get to quite a bit of editing that is piling up, but...in between editing, just wanted to throw a few photos up here from some of my latest shoots.  These two sisters are such adorable subjects!  While the little one was having a bit of a rough day, the older hammed it up!  Seriously so cute! Yes...towards the end of the shoot, it was getting pretty tragic for someone!  Such huge crocodile tears!

I have to post a few of these!  My niece, who should be the easiest subject for me to photograph, always makes me work the hardest!  When she was here for her last visit I begged her to let me take a few photos in her owl hat she got for Christmas.  I also bought her the fur vest, but she politely declined the gift! Haha...I guess we don't have the exact same taste!  At least I got her to wear it for a few photos (and yes, I did try to squeeze myself into the vest because I LOVE IT, it didn't work though...).  She's also been losing her teeth, so we naturally had to capture a few toothless...

Baby Joseph is now 6 months old!  I'd have to say 6-7 months is probably my most favorite age to photograph for babies.  They can sit up, but not run away! ;) And Joseph was such a ham to photograph.  I will probably not show these photos to the hubs in fear of him getting baby fever, haha!  Anyway...here is some of Joseph's awesomeness.  Get ready to "awwww" over this precious little guy! (and yes, Joseph is ready for Easter!)

Kids are so cute!  Michael was not a big fan of sitting on my backdrop, in fact he was a little scared of it.  It took a lot of convincing but we finally managed a few on the white background... I think the lollipop helped a bit too!  He did prefer my stairs though ;-)

I've been photographing Hanna since she was about 2 weeks old.  I usually know with Hanna that I am going to have to keep her really entertained and shoot fast!  Hanna loves birds, so on this shoot her stuffed parrot was able to keep her pretty entertained while I got the photos I wanted.  I love all the expressions she has, even the mad ones! Each photo has so much personality, not the typical folded hands in lap, looking at camera and smiling perfectly...no, no... there is definitely life in these photos! When she was 2 we did a scene with her and a bunch of apples (posted one of these below)...it...
