The last time we saw little Kasey, he was a newborn (click HERE to see Kasey’s newborn shoot). It’s been a year since then, and now our little guy is turning one! He spent most of the shoot attempting to keep up with big brother, Kesan. No wonder Kasey was one of the most agile one year olds we’ve ever seen! Dad brought a tractor for the boys to ride (Dad has life-sized versions on his farm). On most occasions, Kesan apparently drives the tractor, and Kasey rides in the back…but Kesan did a great job of sharing his tractor, and let his little brother take the steering wheel for a few shots. I think Kasey was a little stunned at the generosity of his brother, and warily sat in the driver’s seat (all the while, keeping his eye on his big brother). Loved the “1” balloon, Mom!  Dad was “MacGyver”, and fashioned various contraptions to help the boys hold their balloons. Thanks for a fun afternoon, Mom and Dad!  It was great to see the boys again.  Can’t wait for our shoot next year…I’m taking you up on the offer to shoot on the farm! Here’s your sneak peek:

It’s our second Dylan in the same weekend!  This time around, we were blessed to meet Daniel’s new baby brother…he was a spitting image of his big brother! Click HERE to see Daniel’s 2013 shoot. I felt like we were doing Daniel’s newborn shoot all over again  🙂  Click HERE to see Daniel’s newborn shoot. Dylan had a head full of beautiful dark brown hair, and an amazing complexion for a newborn! I had to chuckle when I realized that we had the “Little Einsteins” theme song as our background music, thanks to several downloaded episodes on Dad’s iPad.  Poor Dad, bet you never thought you’d know every Nickelodeon Jr. theme song that ever existed, by heart! Thank you, Mom and Dad, for being so patient. It was great to see all of you again! Here’s your sneak peek:

Mr. Smiles! Dylan gave us the biggest, happiest smiles  🙂  The smiles lit up his entire face, and he seemed to enjoy hamming it up for the camera! I loved how his mouth opened wide as he laughed his way through our shoot. I just wanted to squeeze and hug him as I browsed through his images. It was great to meet you, Mom and Dad! Thank you for sharing little Dylan with us. May his sweet, happy demeanor stay with him for years to come!!!  Here’s your sneak peek:

Poor Emma and Zoey, this was a shoot that was rescheduled about 5 times due to inclement weather. Click HERE to see our previous shoot with Emma and Zoey. Luckily for us, it was a great afternoon (a little windy, but at least no rain!). The beach was relatively empty, and the kids looked adorable in their matching attire  🙂  Loved the flowy white dresses and sparkle shoes (which were more than a little difficult to find in the sand toward the end of our shoot, LOL). As always, Mom was prepared with her props and cute ideas (thanks for always being so invested in your shoots!)…and we even started making plans for her next Christmas shoot in 2015! Mom and Dad, Bradley and I had a great time at the beach with all of you (Edson said to tell you “Hi!”). Here’s your sneak peek:

Alex is officially a big brother! Little Matthew looked like Alex as a newborn (click HERE to see Alex’s newborn shoot) with a swirl of cocoa. Matthew’s hair was slightly darker than Alex’s, but he was equally as cute! Matthew had beautiful long fingers and dark grey eyes. He even gave us a few gentle smiles! I can’t believe it’s been a year since our last shoot with Alex (click HERE to see Alex’s 2013 shoot), and so much has happened since that time! Alex has grown like a weed, and he became a big brother…he’s going to be a wonderful older sibling  🙂  It was great seeing you again, Mom and Dad…here’s your sneak peek:

Another rain out shoot for us (you’ll see quite a few, because we had to make some major schedule adjustments due to Hurricane Ana)…although technically, it wasn’t a rainout because Mom decided to do an switch her shoot from an outdoor to an indoor shoot (thanks, Mom!). Tyler really is one of the sweetest, gentlest little boys we’ve had the honor of photographing. He has always taken instruction easily, and never complains as we move swiftly from prop to prop. He doesn’t require any “warm up” period, and basically, is a dream to work with. Click HERE to see Tyler’s 2013 shoot. Mom and Dad, you are definitely doing something right with Tyler…he is a wonderful little boy with a soft and loving soul.  Thank you for driving out and bringing all of those “Thomas” props with you (who would have guessed that you would one day know the names of every single steam engine in the Thomas collection?).  Here’s your sneak peek:

Same cute smile…just a little more hair  🙂  Click HERE to see Hayden’s 2013 photo shoot. Hayden had the cutest little hairdo for our shoot (I called it “The Hayden”). Mom said it was natural. I would pay to have a hairstyle like that! She greeted us with her sweet smile and the cutest sparkly shoes. She reminded me of Dorothy (in the Wizard of Oz), with silver shoes instead of Ruby Red shoes. She lit up our studio with her giggles and love for her “Monkey” (Monkey had to try all props and poses first before Hayden…”Monkey try!”).  It was great seeing you again this year, Mom and Dad! Thanks for a great shoot  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

It’s been a couple of years since we last saw Kailee, and boy has she grown! She was rocking a cute little pixie cut at our last shoot (click HERE to see Kailee’s last shoot with us). This time around, she sported long, luxurious hair that Mom said she refused to cut (and I don’t blame her…it was beautiful!). Kailee had a natural smile and general ease about her posing, which made our shoot incredibly easy. She is the type of model that every photographer loves to shoot…so photogenic and fun to work with  🙂  It was great seeing all of you again, Mom and Dad!  Thanks for sharing Kailee with us, you were all amazing! Here’s your sneak peek:

Yet another rain out shoot for us! Despite the whipping winds, we had a nice overcast afternoon…which made for a fun afternoon with Maggie and Emily  🙂  We’ve seen Maggie and Emily quite a bit this past year, and it was a pleasure to see them again for their family Christmas shoot!  Click HERE, HERE and HERE to see our other 2014 shoots with Maggie and Emily.  This beach brought back nostalgic memories for all of us; this was the same location that we used for Maggie’s very first shoot with us 4 years ago! Click HERE to see Maggie’s first shoot.  How time flies!!!  I’m so glad that the weather held up for us, Mom and Dad…and as always, it was wonderful to see your beautiful family again. Thank you!  Here’s your sneak peek:

This was the first of several rainout shoots for us. The sky looked cloudy, and we were concerned that we would have a “double” rainout!  We crossed our fingers and headed out to the beach to meet Renyn, Lauryn and their parents. One plus with this “on the edge” weather, was that the beach was relatively empty (which makes post-processing so much easier for me!). The skies held up for us, and it turned out to be a beautiful afternoon…the lighting was amazing, and the kids were so happy to be at the beach. They were enamored by the waves, water and sand, and gave us wonderful action shots! This was the first time in four years that we haven’t seen Tiger (click HERE to see our 2013 with Tiger and his family)…hugs to you, Tiger! Hope to see you next year  🙂 Thanks for a fantastic shoot, Mom and Dad!  Here’s your sneak peek:
