A Shoot With My Niece "H"

So, about a month ago, I bought some fun parasols, and I couldn't wait to try working them into some of my images. My niece, "H", is amazing! She LOVES to model for me, and she has tons of great ideas when I am working with her.
There is one photo of "H" with my son Sean behind the parasol. It was the funniest thing, when I asked Sean to give "H" a kiss on the cheek, they both looked at me like I was crazy!! I guess that's what I get for asking two 6 year old to give each other a kiss! So for all of you out there wondering; Sean only kissed her on the cheek!! I had to bribe Sean with a piece of candy by the way! It was so funny. I really need to work with these parasols more often. It was really fun, and I love
"H's" big brown eyes! She also has such an innocent look in many of the photos.

"Mr. Serious" and His New Little Brother!

I got the opportunity to photograph little 11 day old "G" a few weeks ago. I photographed his big brother, "G" about 6 months ago, and we kept calling him "Mr. Serious" during the shoot because he would NOT smile for me! Well, this time was way different! Big brother "G" was so interested in me, and wanted to help me out with all of my props and gadgets. He was all smiles, and wanted to be involved in all we were doing.
I was super excited to work with little newborn "G". He was an amazing little boy! Very easy to work with, and so sweet. Of course, like all newborn shoots I do, he was awake the entire time. I got to use a lot of my new props and a few new hats during the shoot. I love the picture of little "G" with his proud dadda. This family is really beautiful, and I really hope to work with them in the future, and watch these two handsome boys grow!!! :)

Baby K Designs

I know it has been forever since I have blogged! I have been extremely busy, and have really just been putting it on the back burner. I have a lot of great pictures that I have taken, and it's time to play catch up!
So I recently found Veronica of Baby K Designs on Etsy.com She has great stuff for newborns, toddlers, and kids. I have been taking pictures of my beautiful nieces so I could send Veronica some images for her site. Her prices are great, and her items are of great quality. These are some pictures that are my favorites from the shoot with my nieces. The hats, tutu, and flower headband are all products of Baby K Designs. Besides Etsy.com, you can also find Baby K Designs on facebook!

A Full Head of Hair on this Little Guy!

So I took these photos over a month ago of little "M." I work with his dad, and he and his wife were so excited that I was going to be taking pictures of their son! He is a very quiet one, and I basically just followed him around and let him be. I got some really great shots of this little guy, and when his mom called me after she saw the photos, she said "words cannot describe how much these mean to us!" That is the best compliment anyone can ever give me. To know that I was able to capture their son at this point in his life is absolutely awesome!! Makes me keep going with my dream of being a great photographer with lots of satisfied clients!! :)

Some of my Favorite Images of my Son!

So I was recently going through old pictures that I had taken a while back of my son Sean. I wanted to post a few of my absolute favorites. I mainly went through the pictures because I decided to enter a photo contest that my clickinmom.com site was having. It was black and white photography, and there were so many amazing entries. The jury is still out on who the winner is, but I had to enter the photo of my son and his cousin walking hand in hand in the park. This picture was originally taken for a mother's day gift for my mother-in-law. I entered this photo in 2005 in an Amateur photo contest for the city of Roseville, and I won first place in my category. What do you think!!

Another session with little "H"

So I went back to take photos of little "H" with her mom and dad. She is now almost 3 weeks old, and we were able to get a lot of great shots when she was awake. She is absolutely goregous, and is such a good baby. She really will let us do almost anything to her to get the great shots. I have been really lucky to have such a good friend in her mom to allow me to photograph this little angel!! I am posting a few of my favorites from the session.
I also finally received my newborn cocoon, and we were barely able to squeeze her into it!! I love all of these pics! Especially the ones with daddy and Datsun their Jack Russell. Hope you enjoy! :)

Little 6 Day Old Princess!

My friend "C" had her baby earlier this week, and I had the pleasure of getting to meet her new daughter this weekend and do a photo shoot with her. Now, I have to say that I was really nervous because I have worked with newborns in the past, and they never fall asleep during the session! I don't know about you, but there is something about a sleeping newborn. So quiet and serene. It was my time to finally have a sleeping little one. And boy did she sleep! She was out the entire time! I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I am so excited for her mom and dad to see these photos. These are just a few of my absolute favorites. I am planning on working with the entire family in the very near future, and I will be sure and update once I get them! :)
