Dylan was all smiles! When Mom scheduled his 1-year old shoot, I immediately remembered Dylan, because he was one of the smiliest 6-month olds we’ve had the pleasure of photographing.  Click HERE to see Dylan’s 6-month old shoot. This time around, Dylan had a mouth full of pearly white teeth accompanying his familiar smile  🙂  Little Dylan was one happy little guy…he smiled at virtually EVERYTHING! Thanks for making my job so easy! He was also the fastest crawler I’ve ever met. In no time at all, he’ll be zipping around on his two feet. If crawling speed is any indicator of running speed, he’ll have a future in the Olympics 😉  Thanks for visiting us again, Mom and Dad. It was great seeing little Dylan again!  Here’s your sneak peek:

Dylan had the biggest smiles for us! In fact, it was hard to find a photo where Dylan wasn’t flashing his amazing smile. I’m sure this is a sign of his happy, go-lucky temperament…just like his Mom and Dad! Big brother, Daniel was also giving us some award worthy smiles of his own. Thanks, Mom & Dad, for bringing the Boy’s Day props and outfits, they boys loved their carp  🙂  Dylan is growing up so quickly (click HERE for his newborn shoot). Soon, he’ll be chasing Daniel. I can’t wait to do an outdoor shoot with the two boys!  It was great seeing all of you, thanks so much for driving out.  Here’s your sneak peek:

Brady had the most beautiful, soulful eyes! I felt like we could see right into his gentle little heart…just precious. He loved trucks and bubbles, and gave us his biggest smiles just standing up and walking with Mom. What a sweet little guy!  Don’t you just want to hug him? Thanks, Mom and Dad, for meeting us and introducing us to Brady. We had a wonderful afternoon with all of you  🙂 So great to meet you!  Here’s your sneak peek:

We had a studio filled with little girls, and we loved it! It’s been so long since we’ve had a chance to photograph sisters, and I forgot how much fun these little ones can be.  We had gold sparkly tattoos, earrings, fancy hairpieces, Hello Kitties, giggling and pink galore! Mom brought beautiful kimono for the girls (this was reminiscent of Haley’s previous “Kimono Shoot” with us in 2011). Kira also brought her Rapunzel dress (and we happened to have a crown and wand to match!). Yes, I know…Rapunzel didn’t have a wand, but our Princess loved it anyway. I can’t  believe how much the girls grew since the last time we photographed them. Click HERE to see their previous family shoot with us. Haley still loved to pose for us (she came up with all her own poses, and boy did she have some creative ones!).  This is a girl that LOVES the camera…”How about if you take a picture of me like THIS!” We love when kids WANT us to take their photos! Thanks for a fun-filled afternoon, Mom and Dad!  The girls were absolutely adorable  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

Happy Birthday, Brynne! It was a slightly overcast but otherwise beautiful day, and we were thrilled to see Adrienne and Brynne again  🙂  It’s been almost 9 months since we last saw them, and in that time, I feel like they each grew at least a foot! I loved that little Brynne tried to copy big sister, Adri all afternoon (note the jumping photos below…so cute!). They both jumped, twirled, and ran together. Brynne even tried to do the same poses that Adrienne did. They wore the cutest little dresses, and sparkly rubber shoes (“Jellies” back in the ’80s!). Both girls wanted to show off their pretty shoes and floral dresses. So swirly and twirly  🙂  Some of my favorite shots are always of Dad interacting with the girls. They always seem to have so much fun! Click HERE to see our previous shoot with Adri and Brynne.  Thanks Mom and Dad, it was great seeing all of you again!  Everyone was healthy, and the weather held up for us this year.  Yay!  Here’s your sneak peek:

Sometime, we just get a baby that loves to smile…and baby Kellen was definitely a smiler! We think he got those smiles from his parents  🙂  He must be one happy little guy! Mr. Smiles also did a great job of smiling for us. Thanks, Mom and Dad, for being so calm and taking the time to read our suggestions for maximizing your Newborn photo shoot. I think it worked, because he was a sleepy little angel for us. So tiny, so precious! Thank you for driving out to us, we were so honored to meet you all. Here’s Kellen’s sneak peek:

We knew little Stella before she was even born! It’s always amazing to do a maternity shoot with a mom and dad, then do a newborn shoot with them a few weeks later.  So much has happened to these families over the past weeks, and the look in their eyes is indescribable. It’s a look of pure love, so genuine and sweet. The look says, “I’ll do anything for you, little one.” Life truly is a miracle. We were blessed enough to capture little Stella while she was safe and warm in her mommy’s tummy (click HERE to see Mom’s maternity shoot), and we were equally blessed to meet her in person during her newborn shoot. Stella had the most beautiful lips and slender little fingers. Such a tiny little angel. Mom and Dad even ordered their own outfit for her newborn shoot…how lucky is this little girl?! Thank you for coming out to see us, and for letting us capture little Stella as a newborn. The next time we will see her (at 6 months), she will be a big girl!  Here’s your sneak peek:

Congratulations, Mikey, you are officially a “Big Brother”!  (Click HERE to see Mikey’s previous shoot.) We couldn’t wait to meet little Roman. Glad that everyone was feeling better (we postponed his shoot a week because Mikey and Mom were sick the prior week).  🙂  Mikey did a great job posing with his baby brother…loved that smile!  Mom mentioned that Roman was experiencing tummy problems this week, but we never would have guessed he was having a problem. He posed on his tummy without a single whimper (sometimes older babies don’t like to curl up on their tummies), and tolerated our wardrobe changes with ease. Mom and Dad brought in Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” painting. They wanted to incorporate it into each of Roman’s 4 photo shoots (they purchased the Newborn Shoot Package, which comes with a Newborn, 6-Month, 9-Month and 1 Year shoot) to show how much he’s grown over the course of his first year. We’ve used clothes and stuffed animals before to document growth over the first year, but using a painting was a first for us…what a wonderful idea! It was great to see all of you again!  Thank you for sharing your beautiful little joy with us.  Here’s your sneak peek:

T was absolutely glowing! Both she and her husband were eagerly looking forward to the birth of their upcoming daughter, and we could feel the anticipation in the air. I took one look at those sweet little baby shoes, and I knew immediately that this was going to be one lucky little girl…blessed with a wonderful, loving family. Needless to say, I know that Mom is going to be the envy of every pregnant woman seeing this post. She was so poised and beautiful (dare I say, elegant?).  Really, who manages to look elegant a month before they are supposed to give birth?! Thank you, Mom, Dad, Grandma and Poet (love you, little fur baby!), you were all so easy to work with.  Looking forward to seeing you for your upcoming newborn shoot in a few short weeks! Mom, hope you get some rest these last few weeks! Here’s your sneak peek:

Our first newborn shoot of 2015! Lily was absolutely precious! She was so tiny, but had the biggest beautiful brown eyes, EVER  🙂  She began our shoot wide awake, but eventually closed those amazing eyes so we could take some prop shots. It was great to see Michael (3 years) again! Click HERE and HERE to see his previous shoots. I remembered that he had the cutest little bear outfit on in his last shoot, which inspired me to use a newborn “girly” bear outfit for Lily.  Mom was incredibly calm (which really rubs off on our newborns), thank you!  It was also wonderful to see Lily and Michael’s cousins, Maile and Maverick (click HERE to see their previous shoot). We love to see familiar faces! All of the kids did a great job of posing for their “cousin” photos. Being photogenic must run in the family!  Thanks Mom and Dad (and Aunty and Uncle) for driving out  to our studio.  It was a fun Sunday morning!  Here’s your sneak peek:
