We couldn’t wait to meet baby Mila! She was actually overdue, so we had to reschedule her shoot for a later date. She must have wanted to spend a little alone time with Mom before she met the rest of the world  🙂  Mila slept like a champ for us, which always makes our job so much easier! She was also our first official “Santa” baby of 2015. Mila’s eyes were beautiful, almost like she had eyeliner on them…lucky girl! Thanks for introducing us to Mila, Mom and Dad…she was an angel  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

I absolutely love this family! Brooke and Troy (and Mom and Dad, of course) are so EASY to work with. Click HERE to see their 2014 shoot. Even from our very first shoot with them 2 years ago, I fell in love with their sweet questions and comments, and happy smiles.  This year was no exception. Both Brooke and Troy took direction amazingly well, and didn’t complain about wardrobe and prop changes at all. Brooke-I’m so happy that your arm is OK, and that you got your cast off in time for our shoot…you did an amazing job  🙂  Troy- I just want to pinch your cheeks every time I see your angelic little smile! Mom and Dad, thanks for letting us share in your holiday memories again this year!  Here’s your sneak peek:

It was so great seeing Dylan again!  We just saw Dylan and his family a few months ago, and we were lucky enough to see him again for his Christmas photos  🙂  Click HERE to see Dylan’s previous photo shoot. I love looking at Dylan’s photos, especially the ones where he’s so happy, he’s clapping. His little mouth opens, and he has a sparkle in his eye. He particularly liked our chimney prop…he loved popping up and down, and expressed his joy by clapping and laughing. What a sweetie!  Thanks again for sharing your wonderful family with us, Mom and Dad! Here’s your sneak peek:

The last time we saw little Noah, he was barely a month old (click HERE to see his 1-month shoot). Fast-forward 7 months, and now Noah is sitting up and giving us big, bright smiles! Both Noah and David were full of happy smiles for us  🙂  Big brother David loved picking flowers and running on the open field. I smiled just seeing how happy and free he was! I have two younger brothers, and seeing Noah and David together made me think of that brotherhood bond my brothers had.  Soon, David and Noah will be baseball buddies, and will be sharing secrets that only brothers can share. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for sharing your wonderful sons with us!  It was great seeing all of you again  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

We always look forward to Emma and Zoey’s annual photo shoot (click HERE to see their 2014 shoot). Mom definitely wins the “most invested in our photo shoot” award…always planning almost a year in advance for her shoots.  This year’s shoot was no exception. We held a “stylized” shoot, where Mom decided to have a “Sugar” (Emma) and “Spice” (Zoey) theme.  Mom pre-made the gingerbread cookie dough, and pre-baked some gingerbread cookies the morning of our shoot (an amazing feat, considering we were at her house at 8:00 in the morning). She provided all her own props and outfits, even stringing Christmas lights and stars to make the background of her photos more interesting. She labeled all of the ingredients herself. It literally was a labor of love for her. Emma and Zoey did an amazing job! I think having a structured, real activity for them really helped us get some authentic smiles; they were truly having a great time pouring ingredients, mixing, rolling out the dough, and using their cookie cutters. Mom and Dad, thanks for setting up your kitchen for our shoot, and for preparing ahead of time!  The girls were adorable  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

I have to admit, I am absolutely mesmerized by Lily’s beautiful eyes. Big brother, Michael has those same soulful eyes. You just can’t help but feel drawn to their cute little faces and smile back at them  🙂  We first met Lily at her newborn shoot (yes, those eyes made their appearance, and we all swooned…).  Click HERE to see Lily’s Newborn Shoot.  Mom did a shoot with Michael when he was around the same age as Lily is now. Click HERE to see Michael’s 7-month shoot. The similarities between the siblings were uncanny-down to the hand/arm poses and facial expressions.  Michael was a little cutie too.  He was so well-behaved, and took direction so well. He really tried to help us with the sibling shots (which are notoriously the hardest shots to get), and he still managed to give us his happy little smile.  LOVED the dinosaur outfits that grandma made for them.  Yes, she actually sewed them herself.  SOOOO cute!  Thanks Mom, for being amazing as always.  Here’s your sneak peek:

Mom was the cutest! She filled out the Newborn Questionnaire that I send to parents prior to their shoot (so we can customize each newborn shoot), and checked off “Love it, have to have it” for each question on the form.  She then sent me a separate email, explaining that after seeing all of the newborn photos on the website, she couldn’t decide on any of the props or colors, because she loved everything  🙂  So sweet! Lucky for her, Keegan was a champion sleeper, and we were able to put him in several outfits, on multiple props and blankets without so much as a peep! Keegan had chocolate brown hair, and plump little lips.  Thanks for an amazing shoot, Mom and Dad…I hope Keegan sleeps as much for you (at night) as he did with us!  Here’s your sneak peek:

How can our little A be 9-months old already?  It seems like we just did his 7-month shoot (click HERE to see A’s last shoot).  This time, A was joined by his 3-year old brother.  We missed B at our last shoot, but had the pleasure of meeting him at A’s newborn shoot. Both boys were great sports…smiley and full of energy  🙂  A was just starting to walk, and B was celebrating his third birthday. They brought in their “milestone markers” (A brought in his lion, and B had his bear). Love the idea of bringing in the stuffed animals with every shoot…soon, A will tower over his lion!  It was great to see all of you again, Mom and Dad.  Here’s your sneak peek:

It’s been a couple of years since we last saw Mia (click HERE to see Mia’s 1-year old photo shoot), and this year we were happy to learn that Mia was a big sister!  We met Mason for the first time, and boy was he a cutie!  Mom wanted to do a traditional “hanbok” photo, similar to the photos we took of Mia when she turned one.  She even wanted to use the same background so she could match the photos…what a great idea! Mason was a good sport about wearing his hanbok, but he did not love his hat (just look at that little face!). Once the hat came off, he smiled from ear to ear  and his personality shined 🙂  Mason, you are absolutely adorable!!!  Mom and Dad, thanks for coming out to see us. It was great to see all of you again this year!  Here’s your sneak peek:

It’s been a year since we’ve seen little Hayden (click HERE to see Hayden’s 2014 shoot), but she was still full of happiness, energy and sweetness! Last year, she brought Monkey to the shoot, this year, it was “Turtle Mommy”. So cute! I felt like I was shooting a print ad with Hayden… she always brings her outgoing personality with her! Loved that she picked her own outfits; who doesn’t love a girl that knows what she wants?!  It was great seeing all of you again this year, Mom and Dad!  Here’s your sneak peek:
