Photo Fun Saturday

Saturday was a day filled with photo fun!  First up, Saturday morning I got to meet with an adorable family whose little girl just turned one.  I love this age... not a baby any longer but not quite a toddler.  You can really see little their little personalities begin to emerge.  Little Miss M was all smiles but you could definitely tell when she was over it!  She didn't really smash the cake at the end but more "explored" it.  So cute!

Then Saturday afternoon we had a family photo session exchange with Photography- By Danie.  Getting everyone ready was exhausting, and all 4 kids under 4 were not in very good moods but it was totally worth it, and of course we caught some great moments.  It was a good experience to be in the client's shoes as well.  It really can be hard work to get your picture taken!

Everyone told me it would be hard...

...when they would see me tote my baby around while obviously pregnant with another.  I shrugged off the nay-sayers, they didn't know me!!!  But of course everyone can't be wrong and I am learning that more each day:)  My little blessings are 15 months apart in age and I wouldn't change a thing but it's certainly challenging many days.  So after a particularly challenging week I am taking a moment to let their father deal with them as they fight and scream while I focus and devote a blog post to captured photographic proof that there are good times too.  I need to do this for my own sanity as well as to show them someday... in case the fighting only gets worse, LOL!  I am laughing... really I am. 



Aw shucks aren't they just the cutest brother and sister ever?  Good thing I'm a fast photographer able to document such fleeting moments and there is no live audio stream with these posts! :)

Getting Back to Babies!

As the weather begins to turn cooler I am reminded of my desire to get back to working in my studio.  There are still plenty of opportunities for outdoor sessions (and I am SO looking forward to all of them) but I also look forward to working with little ones in my own cozy bright space!  Today I had the absolute pleasure of doing a mini-session with this little doll.  Little Miss M is only 6 months old but already so strong as she was pulling up and crawling all over the place.   But OH those angelic big brown eyes and her sweet smile!  I had such a great time with her and her mommy!!!



The adorable headbands are from Chic Pretties and the too cute pumpkin hat and diaper cover are from  RWR Knits... Becky is currently running a promotion on the hat and diaper cover!  LOVE my baby props!

Another Special Homecoming

Today is the anniversary of 9/11 and I have the honor of blogging about another photo session I did through Operation Love Reunited.  This adorable couple were apart for nearly a year and watching their reunion was so touching.  We spent hours waiting and watching and then I looked down at my camera for a split second (no joke!) and heard her scream.  I NEARLY missed the moment they saw each other.  Thank goodness she screamed!
I hope you enjoy your preview, L family!  Doing this is my small way of saying thank you to all the men and women who serve and for all of the sacrifices they and their families make for our country.  Once again I am humbled to the core.
