Addie & Olivia

We love taking pictures of adorable little children! Which is great, because David happens to have two adorable little nieces that needed their one-year old and three-year old pictures done.

Kids definitely keep photo shoots interesting, and this one was no exception. The girls didn't really want to pose or do what Mom said, but with a few bribes of swedish fish and a little bit of patience we were able to capture their cute personalities as they showed who they were in front of the camera.

Back To School

My little girl had her first day of preschool today. Where does the time go? I can't believe how quickly she has grown up. To say that she was excited would be a huge understatement. She sang all the way there! Here are a "few" snapshots of her first day. YES I am one of those crazy parents that follow their child around with a camera and NO I am not ashamed to admit it!

Baby Kate

Sigh... I love newborns. They are just so... "brand new!" 

This teeny little bundle of joy is just over 7 lbs. Isn't she a doll?

 I really wanted to take her home with me, but I guess her family is kind of attached to her. And who can blame them? 

 I know every mom hopes their little one will sleep soundly during their shoot without the aid of their beloved binkie, but I absolutely love this picture. 

 These next few make me miss the days when my girls were this tiny and delicate

 Don't you just love these teeny wrinkled feet? 

Happy Birthday James!

Some of my favorite things:

Babies

Bright colors

Special occasions

Anything with sugar in it

Put all those things together and you've got yourself a winning recipe for a darling photoshoot!

 James just turned one last week. He was so funny when it came to digging in to the cake... at first he would pick up a polk-a-dot and then look around like he was in trouble, and gently put it back in place. It took him a good 15 minutes to warm up to the idea of actually eating anything! 

He doesn't really have much of a sweet tooth, he would much rather eat watermelon. (Sure wish I could be more like James!) That being said, he still did a great job smashing up this cake! 

 My favorite thing about this shoot was that it was done as a sweet surprise for his parents. What a great keepsake to remember his first birthday!  (And what a great aunt you have!) 

Happy Birthday James!
