Smith Family Portraits – Fall 2009

I had a great time photographing this great looking family!  Here’s a peak inside…

 

Baby Vivienne turns 6 Months!

I can’t believe that the little newborn I photographed in the Spring is now 6 months old!!  Sweet baby Vivienne is showing off her Halloween costume in this session as well as her cute little baby face.  Here are some photos from our session…

Jake’s 18 Month Session

I’ve been photographing this little guy since he was 6 months old!  It’s amazing how fast kids grow!  Jake and his family are some of our great friends!  I had a moment at the end of the session where our two boys were playing together.  My son was laughing at something and Jake wasn’t too sure why he was touch his big rock!    I wish I knew what kids were thinking!!  Here’s a peak inside this session…

He’s giving me the “model” stare… I love it!

Baby Lillie’s 11 Month Portraits

This sweet little Lillie is so precious. She has the most beautiful porcelain skin and the sweetest look. Thanks Mom and Dad for all your help too!

Sweet Little Grace!

Sweet little Grace is one of my little cousins!  I don’t get to see her very often so I go home, I have to photograph her!  It amazes me how fast kids grow and I can’t believe she is already 2.5 years old!  She’s such a doll!  Here are a few photos from the session.

Nikki’s Senior Portraits 2010

Nikki – You are so beautiful and a trooper…I might add.  The sun was so bright and constantly shining in her eyes.  Thanks Mom and Nikki for hanging in there and allowing me to drag you around to several places.    I think it really paid off!  I have so many favorites, but these topped my list.  I am so anxious to finish editing your session!!!  Here is a sneak peak…

Welcome Baby Luca!

While I was visiting my hometown, I had to take the opportunity to see and photograph our friends’ newborn baby Luca.  Luca is such a handsome little guy with lots of gorgeous hair and natural highlights.  He’s a lucky little boy!!  Thanks Jill and Tyler for letting me photograph your beautiful baby boy.  You have such a beautiful family.  Here’s a few photos from our session!

Happy 6 months Lily!

Miss Lily has the sweetest little personality and takes the prize for being the most flexible baby I have come across.  I’m already placing bets that she will be an amazing ballerina or gymnist someday.  She was so fun to photograph and was willing to play with her toys, hands, and clothes while I clicked away on my camera.  Six months is a fun age…they seem to turn a corner in baby development and become more interested in their world.  The best part of the session was when she said “Mama” for the first time!!!!  How exciting!!  Thanks again Mom and Dad for having my photograph this sweet moment in Lily’s life.
