The best part of being an older sister, is that I get to share the smiles and joy that my nephew and niece have to share with us. I love seeing their innocent little faces, and sweet little smiles (granted, some of those smiles were obtained via bribes…shhhh!).  This past week, I did a shoot with “Little Ems”.  It happened to be an 11-month shoot. I took a look back at her 7-month photos, and couldn’t help but see how much she’s grown in just a few months. (Click HERE to see Emi’s newborn photo shoot.) I decided to post her 7-month photos first, just so I could reference it in her upcoming 11-month old post (later this week).  Her first birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I know how Mom feels. I warned her that the photos from our 7-month old shoot will be bittersweet. Oh, Little Ems, we love your smile and all of that hair!  Kor and Janell, here’s your sneak peek…more of Ems to come in about a week:

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:
