Sweet Baby Girl

Last week, I got to spend the morning with this precious 2 1/2 month old baby girl and her mom.


There is nothing more beautiful than new life, and seeing the wonder in a baby's eyes.

Biggest Brown Eyes Ever!

I suppose it's a good thing when I have a hard time narrowing down my favorites...right? This week's photo session with these two kids was delightful. These kids have some of the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. Not only are they big and brown, but they are full of life and love! To see more pictures with their Mom, visit my home blog, Life is Sweet.



I was happy to see the results of this make-shift "studio" in my family room, using just the light from the window. I was glad that it worked. :)




His interaction with his suit was adorable to watch. He obviously wanted it off!


Brother and Sister together:


And sister alone:

Sweet Baby J

This sweet little baby boy was so much fun to photograph!
Look at all of his "bubbly" expressions!

December Wedding

I was thrilled to be referred by a friend to photograph this December wedding. You'd never know it by the bride's beautiful dress and all of the smiles that it was cold and rainy until the very end of the session. We had to be creative. I am happy with the way these turned out!

The horrible white sky and rain turned out to be a pretty backdrop here.

We headed inside the Visitor's Center for a few warmer, drier pictures.

One of my favorites from the whole day:

I love the fact that we were able to capture the season here. They were married just a few days before Christmas.

Just as we were calling it quits, we noticed that the rain had stopped. We ran outside for a few shots with the temple. What a blessing!

Married!

The Twins' family!

This was another completely spontaneous photo shoot. The weather was gorgeous, my friend Safire's husband was coming home from work early that day, and we jumped on the chance to get their family photos done. I was jsut stunned by the amazing Fall colors....right in their backyard!

Safire and her boys (Daddy was getting big sister and the family dog rounded up)


Both boys (and big sister, too) are so loved! Safire is a great mom!

Again....the COLORS!

What a cute family! Can you believe how good Soot, their dog, was being in the pictures? Granted, right after this series of shots is when she jumped into the creek....But she was a very good listener here!

One of my favorites--I love the family interaction here!

Aww! Mom and Dad. I think they said it had been YEARS since they'd gotten their pictures taken together.



Butterfly, the 3 year old, loves playing with Daddy.

It won't be long before they won't be able to play like this....they grow up so fast!


I had so much fun with these guys! I had tons more that I loved, but like always, I had to pick only a few to share. :)

Twins @ 6 months

Remember these little guys? I photographed these twin boys when they were one week old (see here). I can't believe they're already 6 months old now!! This photo shoot was somewhat spontaneous (Mom is a very good friend of mine) but I loved how some of these turned out. I love to see the boys' personalities shining through!




Meet the Pirate: He was a great sport and seemed to be posing for the camera.

Here's the Professor. He was not so keen on posing, but I sure got some cute smiles out of him!

Once I brought the basket down, the boys relaxed and we got some great relationship shots. I love the fact that I used this very same basket in their newborn pictures!







By the end, the twins were SO tired, but they were great sports. I love these little guys!


Stay tuned for the twins' family pictures...coming soon!
