Portraits By Angela Photography: Feast or Famine

The weekend started on Friday evening with a
One Year session with little Richie.

Here he is looking sharp in his Red Sox Sweater

I've had a thing for hats recently and brought along a few for this session. Because I just love to see little boys in scally caps I made sure I got a few shots with it. Richie was really good about having hats on too.

I transformed the original shot above to have a more old time feel in the photo below and then converted to B & W as well.

Here's the Lil' Cowpoke! I LOVE cowboy hats!

This guy could really light up a room with his smile.

Here he is in the final portion of the session with his cake, which didn't go over too well. He just isn't a big fan of cake I guess. He did really like the balloons though.

Little Richie did a really great job in his first photo session. I'll look forward to seeing him again.
Then it was off to take Nina's Dance pictures.
Here's the little ballerina.

Here she is just tapping on through

Here's sister Kaleigh who I couldn't leave out.

What fun is having a backdrop in your living room
if you can't use it to make the room your stage.

and because they were having such a good time, I took some fun shots as the girls clowned around and put on a performance for me

They really are a lot of fun!

Saturday morning it was time for Layla's First Birthday Session

We went with a ballerina theme for part of the session

I got so many great smiles out of her this time around

A fine art style shot

She loves to stand and is working hard and getting

the walking thing down.

A change of clothes and a chair which her mother informed me she will stand on if given the opportunity.

A parasol and straw hat and gold beads and you have

some of a females favorite things.

and of course we finished with the cake portion of the session.

Layla was wild over the balloons

and was pretty happy with the cake as well. She didn't actually eat it though had no trouble at all digging her hands in there for a little bit of messy fun.
