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…

Matt and Elaine met on the steps of the West Highschool….well maybe no on the steps of the highschool, but at highschool. They have dated a long time, and now are planning their wedding in August. (Can’t wait to see how beautiful Elaine will look in her dress!) So we thought it would be fun to do engagement photos at the highschool first. Here’s a sneak peak…

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…

I can’t believe a year has already gone by since my good friend Sarah got married to Rich! And soon they will be welcoming their little girl into the world, how exciting. Just wanted to say congrats you two!

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…

the first thing I notice about a person is their eyes. And children’s eyes have that special sparkle in them…
