Remember little Evan?  Click HERE for his newborn shoot, and HERE for his 4-month shoot.  Our first shoot for him in 2017 was his 10-month old shoot, and this handsome guy was on the move!  He was incredibly curious, and wanted to explore our studio. He was accompanied by his “big sister” Yuri. I had to post a couple of “blooper” shots at the end of this post, because Yuri was hilarious!  I think she wanted her photo taken more than Evan did  😉  She even peered around him so I could take her photo (and yes, dogs definitely smile!)

We decided to do a “big boy” boat photo of Evan, to show how much he’s grown in less than a year (just look at that boat photo in Evan’s newborn post)!  He was equally adorable, just in a larger size  🙂  I loved Evan’s soft wavy hair and his intelligent, inquisitive eyes. Next time we see you, Evan, you’ll be running!  Can’t wait for our next shoot. Thanks, Mom and Dad, for sharing your little guy with us.  It’s always great seeing him and his cute outfits!  Here’s your sneak peek (including the photos of Yuri trying to be the star of the show!):

It’s been a little over 2 years since we saw Cameron.  Click HERE to see his newborn shoot.  A lot changed since we last saw him.  He’s talking up a storm, showing off a full set of beautiful teeth…and he’s a big brother!  Meet baby Chloe.  She was just perfect.  Chloe had the cutest lips and nose, and I just wanted to pinch her little cheeks. Once she fell asleep, she was OUT.  She was happy and content…such a sleepy angel.  It was great seeing all of you again, Mom, Dad, Tayler and Cameron!  Congratulations on your newest family member  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

It’s Senior Portrait season, and we’ve been blessed with some simply amazing high school seniors this year!  Andrew was no exception. He was easy-going, friendly and happened to be a great conversationalist. Seniors frequently need a “warm up” period before they feel at ease during their shoots. I remember my senior portrait shoot (a VERY long time ago) being quite uncomfortable…and it was worse because my mom was standing there, watching me struggle to look “natural” (I love you, Mom!).  Andrew seamlessly transitioned from location to location…no awkwardness at all! He gave me his friendly, easy smile, and we moved on our way. He was such an easy person to talk to, which always makes our shoots easier (and makes their shots appear more natural). Thank you, Andrew, for being so wonderful to work with!  I hope you were able to get all of that sand out of your shoes  😉  Here’s your sneak peek:

I couldn’t wait to see Hailey 🙂  We did her two older siblings’ senior portraits previously (click HERE to see Brittney’s shoot, and click HERE to see Jordan’s shoot), and now it was Hailey’s turn.  Hailey was just as easy to work with as her sister and brother.  Mom and Dad, you are definitely doing something right…your kids are amazing!  We were chasing the sun (it was setting behind the trees, not over the ocean like we hoped), and it started raining at the very end of our shoot.  Luckily, the rain started after the sun set, so we were almost over with our shoot by the time the first raindrops fell.  Despite the less than ideal situation, Hailey was a great sport. She tolerated the rain, and sat on brush and stubbly stumps for me.  She flashed me her incredibly photogenic smile, and seemed completely at ease during her shoot.  Loved the pop of color that Hailey’s red dress gave us! Thank you so very much for working with us, Hailey. It was a pleasure seeing you and Mom again!  Here’s your sneak peek:

It’s Spring, and the girls represented the season well in their happy little outfits!  Love that mom wanted some flowery/Easter type shots  🙂  Hayden was such a great big sister…she really tried to get Hailey to sit still for her sibling shots (well, she did her best, LOL)!  Hailey was on the go  🙂  She was ready to explore, and basically wanted to taste everything (that’s what teething babies do, right?).  I just loved her adorable facial expressions and mischievous looks once she crawled off the backdrop.  Hailey was a joy to work with (as was big sis, Hayden), and she did an amazing job with her multiple outfit changes (all of which were just as cute as she was).  It was great seeing you all again, Mom and Dad!  Looking forward to our next shoot with all of you.

When Mom unveiled her precious cargo, I couldn’t help but gush over “R”‘s hair!  I loved everything about it.  It had so much character (and it brought me back to the 80’s…I think I had that hairstyle, but I needed a ton of gel to hold it up). I didn’t want to cover up that fabulous hair with hats, so we put little headbands on instead.  Don’t you just want to reach out into your screen and touch that hair?!  She also had the cutest cheeks, and red pouty lips.  “R” decided about halfway through, that she wanted to keep her eyes open and explore the studio.  Although she was awake, she remained calm…so we got a lot of shots of her with her eyes open (sometimes this isn’t very easy, because awake newborns often = hungry, upset and/or flailing newborns).  Mom, it was great seeing you again!  Hopefully, we’ll see “B” and “A” during one of “R”‘s upcoming shoots (click HERE to see a previous shoot with “A” and “B”).  Thanks for coming out to see us!  Congratulations  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

One year already?  I still remember Kenzie as a newborn…with that beautiful head of dark hair!  Click HERE to see Kenzie’s newborn shoot.  The last time we saw Kenzie was about 6 months ago, and she was a smiley little one!  Fast-forward 6 months later, and she’s still smiling up a storm (but now she’s literally running across our backdrop!).  It didn’t take much to make her smile, just like her big brother, Aiden!  So many smiley photos to choose from–it was so hard to narrow them down for your sneak peek  🙂  Just looking at your photos makes me smile right back at the computer screen 😉  Happy birthday, Kenzie!  Here’s your sneak peek:

It’s been a year since we last photographed Eli, and just look at how much he’s grown! Click HERE to see Eli’s newborn shoot.  Little Eli was “cautiously curious”.  I loved how his eyes surveyed the area around him…the grass, the people, the toys…so much to take in.  I thought it was adorable how he bit his lower lip as he looked at us! Eli was happiest with Dad and Mom, he obviously knows how much they love him.  What a glorious smile  🙂  It was great seeing you, Eli!  Soon, you’ll be running around…exploring on your own. You are going to have a blast!  Here’s your sneak peek:

She flashed her new pearly white tooth for us…and we loved it!  The last time we saw little Kaci, she was a newborn (click HERE for her newborn shoot). Almost 7 months later, she was a laughing, crawling, interactive angel, with so many adorable facial expressions!  You can almost read her mind when she’s looking at you in that basket.  Oh those eyes…windows to her feelings and soul.  Thank you so very much for being flexible with your schedule, Mom and Dad (we originally had her scheduled for the afternoon of the huge water main break…we had to reschedule her because we were stuck on the freeway in that traffic for over 5 hours).  It was so wonderful seeing Kaci again.  The next time we see her, she will undoubtably be running!  😉    Here’s your sneak peek:

Meet our first little newborn for 2017!  Anabelle (love that name!) was absolutely adorable. She had beautiful red lips, and the sweetest cheeks. She also gave us a couple of fabulous smiles. How lucky were we?!  She slept like a champ for the first half of her shoot, then decided that she wanted to see the world for the second half.  Just look at those amazing eyes!  So focused and bright…they were like two shining stars.  Mom, I think she knows how much you like taking photos!!! What a little star  🙂  It was great seeing you again, Mom!  Congratulations on your angel…she was precious. Hugs!  Here’s your sneak peek:
