Baby Vincent

Sweet baby Vincent. One thing is for sure- this boy loves his mama more than he loved me or my baskets of fluffy coziness. Ha ha. That's okay. I'm not offended that I'm not the favorite.  His mom had magical powers to calm him though.  She introduced me to the "easy button"- a spot on the back of a baby's neck that you can rub to calm them down.  We'll see if I have the same luck next time I do a newborn shoot. If it works I feel like I'll become a true baby whisperer.

Someone made them this Toad beanie (from Super Mario) so naturally we had to work it into the pictures somehow.

I love the interactions between a proud sibling and their new baby. She was so sweet to be a helper the whole photo shoot and she's been practicing diapering her baby doll.  What an awesome big sister!

Brooklyn & Kennedy

I love these sweet sisters. I've done their pictures a few years in a row now and they are just so fun and delightful, not to mention just beautiful!

Carter Kids

So these kiddos are adorable. And they happen to be my niece and nephews. So yes, I'm biased. But I do love them and love taking their pictures. So much personality in this group!  They're probably sillier than my regular kid sessions because they're so comfortable with me. But I love pictures that capture your true child and especially this top guy is as silly as they come, so it just seems fitting somehow.

Sometimes I'm funny. And sometimes I'm just funny looking. And sometimes I make the person standing behind me do ridiculous things and I play along and act like I can't figure out what's happening each time I turn around and they stop. Somehow my same trick works every time. On every kid...  yup, kids think I'm funny and these are the faces to prove it.  Too bad it doesn't work on adults to get them to relax and smile normally. :)

Baby Easton

Nothing makes me happier than getting to photograph a sweet baby. Unless of course his mom is an old friend from college. And then it's just added bonus. Adorable baby + great friend= fun for me.  I love my job that feels like a hobby. I guess it's safe to say I love my jobby. Ha! 

Anyway, back to the point at hand- I enjoyed this session so much.  A lovely summer day at the Daybreak docks. Warm sun. Their relationship makes me smile and I loved every second of our time together! His eyes!

Baby Juliet

There is nothing so sweet in all the world as a precious new baby.  I had way too much fun shooting photos of this darling little girl.  She was such a dream- slept the whole time. I've only seen this once before with a baby so content that we did pictures for hours before she even fussed and wanted to be fed. Too much fun!
