More Holiday Photos

Here's young Nellie preparing for her holiday photo session by trying on her

reindeer antlers and nose.

Here she is again with her 3 sisters and her brother.

This session was a gift for their dad, who I understand was very surprised

and ecstatic when he opened his gifts.

This one was the wall portrait that they decided on.

Family Portrait Session

St. Patrick's day took me to this lovely family's home for family portraits.

Brian and Doreen said that they were past due to have a family portrait done and with Kristin home from college for a week it was the perfect time to pull it together.

The guys! Brian and John
Kristin and her kitten who I believe she said is named Kitten

One year old Devlin

Meet one year old Devlin who is just getting the hang of walking.

He was so funny when we did the outdoor portion of his session. There were gravel rocks all around the brick areas at ground level and no matter which way mom and dad tried to direct his attention, getting at the rocks were always his focus. A regular little boy. They LOVE rocks!

A lovely image of Devlin with his mom and dad (above)

Such a happy little boy

This a great age for getting smiles.

I had to throw this one in. I love it when they play with their feet.

Devlin has a great disposition and did an awesome job with his first photo session.

Evan's first photo session

Here's 3 month old Evan with his mom and dad in his debute photo session

i brought along my teddy and the teddy ear hat which he looked very cute in.

Looking like a big boy in his striped shirt and his little sneakers, one of which he kicked off pretty quickly.

After a bottle he fell fast asleep giving us the opportunity for some sleeping baby images.

At a 6 month session or after you rarely get images of a baby while sleeping so i like to try to catch these precious images when I can.

So sweet!

Weekend Photo Sessions for 6 month girl and boy

Since it was Valentine's weekend, we had to include a baby cupid shot at Sierra's photo session.

Sierra's 6 month session was prop central. I brought an assortment of props, hats and headbands with me

as you can see.
We did a rub a dub dub set with mom blowing bubbles (above) and with Sierra wearing the cute little mop hat (below)
Because she would make just the cutest little chickadee I hot glued some yellow feathers to a yellow headband, brought along my giant egg shell and nest, mom provided a yellow onsie t-shirt, and there you go!
The cutest little chick you'll ever see.

We couldn't do without a ballerina baby shot with

Sierra's own tutu and one of the cute headbands that I was happy to provide.

These last few don't have props other than the headband that she's wearing in the image below. There is a story here though. It seems that the overalls she is wearing has been handed down from her mother, to her uncle and assorted cousins,a and now to Sierra.

After spotting this dress on a face book posting I asked her mom to put the dress on so I could take a few shots of her in it.

By the time we got to the classic shot below, Sierra had had quite enough and protested.

Needless to mention, Sierra's 6 month session was filled with a great assortment of lovely and fun images!

On Sunday morning, 5 1/2 month old Henry had his first photo session.

As I was out on Saturday, I found this cowboy hat on the sale rack at Babies R Us and the stick pony I found a few weeks back on clearance at a Toys R Us store that was relocating.

I was happy to be able to use them for the first time with this little cow poke.

Here, Henry is introducing me to his Henry Bear.

All dressed up.

Since it was his first session, we had to get mom and dad in a few images. Henry and his dad

It was very nice to meet young Henry. He is a very pleasant and good natured boy. I look forward to photographing him again.
