Merry Christmas! 2012

I took a bunch of pictures of the baby under the tree, but I'm not really happy with any of them...but this little guy always makes great pictures even in his pajamas!!

Merry Christmas, from my family to yours!

Look Who's One!

Sweet baby J is a year old already! It was so much fun watching him grow from a teeny, tiny newborn to a very busy walking one-year old!

Busy Little Boy!

Time just keeps pushing forward and one of my favorite little boys turned nine months old in February! We kept him pretty busy at this shoot but he still managed to get bored and wander (ok...crawl!) off some of the sets! His favorite part was all the bubbles, my favorite part was all the smiles.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Babe!

My son turns three years old today! I am so proud of him, he is such a big boy! I decided to take him out for his very own photo shoot. It didn't turn out exactly as I had planned it, but I have photographed enough kids to know that a plan is merely that!

I am so happy with the way these images turned out. I couldn't narrow my favorites down any further than this. Of course, I am completely biased.

Flower Girl

Oh my goodness!! Look at this sweet baby girl! This shoot turned out exactly like I wanted it to: outside in a great park, super girly head pieces, pretty dresses, and really excited parents. The proof is in the pictures!

Model

I did this shoot during photography class with a model. She was a fabulous girl with lots of attitude. I really like the way the pictures turned out. Her Mom did, too, I will be taking their family photos next weekend!

As for the editing, I was torn between leaving her beautiful freckles intact or smoothing over them so I did a mix of both and still can't decide! The freckles are fabulous!

Soccer Boy

This is where I discovered how much I love photographing children. They are just beautiful and have such perfect skin! This little boy was so full of energy, he even had some of his own poses in mind! Definitely one of my favorite shoots!
