Most of the infants I photograph are in their first days of life.  And while they are squishy, adorable, and cuddly, they are quite uneventful.  I love newborns (because I don’t have to stay & get them to sleep), but I forgot how fun the other months were too.

I got to photograph little Brayden last week with his lovely parents.  What a bright-eyed little guy!  He was a little wary of me at first, cried some – probably because I kept putting a big black camera in his face – but warmed up after a little nap.  Thanks, Mom & Dad, for having me.  Your little man was an angel!

Last fall I had the chance to photograph this wonderful young girl – Allie.  She is a friend of one of my senior models and I was thrilled to get to work with her.  Laura, who referred her, told me Allie has about a million facial expressions, and can even “smize” – which apparently means smiling with your eyes!  (These girls keep me fresh with the new lingo.)

Here’s Allie!

Up next is another family session that I had to keep under wraps until the holidays were over.  Eeek!  It was so hard, but I did it!

Meet the Abell Family.  There are just so sweet & wonderful.  It took a little coaxing, but we eventually got some smiles out of everyone.  Check out their fun family day!

I’d like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all the clients, families & children who came out for my annual mini sessions.  It was an awesome 3 days & wonderful to meet & reconnect.  Thank you again!

Another year, and my sweet niece Mackinzie is another year older.  I took a look back when I photographed her four-year-old photos, and I just cannot believe how much she’s grown!  *sigh*  Take a look at how much she’s changed!
