This little one was a bit more challenging to photograph. She wanted to be anywhere except where we needed her to be. She didn’t want much to do with the outfits she was wearing, and wanted to just lay down on my big green beanbag. But with some patience and candy, we managed to capture her…

I posted some photos of Aleita a few days ago, and thought I would include a slideshow of her cake smash. Enjoy!

Another birthday shoot this week! Where the year went, I don’t know.  She sure has changed a lot in the last year. I think she looks a lot like her daddy. We didn’t know how she would do with her cake, but she liked it, no problem there!

her first photoshoot….

and how she is at 1 year…

Due to the fact that I am going on holidays the end of the week, today is a work day. To start the day off, I got to take photos of the Carpenter Family. The goal was one great family photo. There have not been many I’ve been told, it is very tricky. And well, Abby at 4 years, was good for me, but was very interested in my doll stroller and chair, and Felicity wanted to be on the go and walk without having to be held in one spot. But we worked quick, I had my weapons (singing duck, annoying rooster and tickle stick) and I think the goal was accomplished!

I have been photographing Ethan since he was in his mommy’s belly, and now he is 3! For his first two weeks of life, I was the one that bathed him, until his mommy got comfortable enough to do it   He used to like the camera, then he decided he hated it and would run away, cry, scream, anything to get away from it. Now I just wait….patiently….I let him do what he wants, and eventually I get him looking at me for some. He knows too that he’s being a little bum! He thinks it is very funny, and well, I get the last laugh cause I get the photos! I will probably post some more, ones that really show his ‘attitude’…

I don’t know how I overlooked posting Logan, but I did! I did his mommy and daddy’s wedding photos last year, and now got to do Logan’s 3 month photos. I love when my brides and grooms start coming to me with their new families! I think he looks a lot like his dad!

Took Kaleb into the studio to get a couple shots of him at 3 months old. He slept for the first bit, then woke to give me some great smiles. I had a bit of a ‘funny’ happen while at the studio. I was wearing a shirt that can be strapless, or have straps. Well, I broke the one strap on my way into town, so just too the other one off. I was moving all over the place in the studio, trying to get the shots, and getting smiles and keeping kaleb happy, that i did not notice my shirt was slowly slipping. Then I walked to the front of the studio, in front of the big windows, and there was somebody walking by and they gave me a bit of a wierd look. I realized when I looked down that my shirt was down…luckily I was wearing a bra!!

More to come…

since Aleita was born. She came in today on her birthday for some fun in the studio. I wish I had video of her mommy and daddy behind me getting smiles out of her. They were dancing and singing and making all different noises. I couldn’t stop laughing. But we got some great smiles because of it. I like when parents are ok to be silly in order to get those smiles. However, I still love the serious looks. The one of her sitting on the chest with her scottish cow, I love. It was the last photo from that set up, and I don’t know why, but I love it! here is a sneak peak. I don’t have her cake shots up yet, that will be a different post, with a slideshow, so keep watching for that…

I am really enjoying newborns. They are just so fresh and new. Ryan was so good for me, there really wasn’t much fighting at all. He came in awake, mommy fed him, he went to sleep, and I molded.  The boys just seem to behave better for me…and look at all that hair! I found it hard to put hats on him, because of all that hair…

Charley came for her second visit today, and she was much more awake then when she came as a newborn! She is long and skinny (although daddy thinks she’s chunky ) and strong. I won’t be surprised if she is sitting soon, and if she is running around before she is 1. She gave us smiles, and I know for her next session, she is going to be a ham. I can already see that daddy is going to be mush in her hands….here are a few
