Tiny Tots

 Here are several photos from a couple of recent sessions with 6 - 8 month old babies. 

For little Laylah, we did the baby bottom,

angel baby, tutu, and fairy photos. 

 For Sandra's second photo session  we did the ballerina tutu, rub a dub tub, angel baby and fairy shots as well as her baptismal photos which I used to create photo favors for the guests at her celebration.

Fairy Session & Dress Up Fun

Here's little Miss Nellie having a tea party with Tinkerbelle and her tiny fairy friends

Playing dress up is so much fun

In keeping with the fairy theme here she is again in her fairy wings

A plexiglass mirror was used for these reflection images

We added a butterfly for fun .

A magical Fairy Ball dropped in to say hello

"No, don't go!"

Just like magic!

Nellie had a great time with her photo session. She just had her bedroom done up in a fairy theme so these photos will be a great addition to the theme.

Here's a sample of a storyboard depicting the last few photos.

Families and Fairies

I went back to Stephanie's for a session while her relatives were visiting. Here she is with her brother Steve and little one's John and Matt.

John loves to play on his climbing structure

He also likes to hide among the flowers.

Mat is having fun with this colorful tube.I was amazed at how big he got and how many teeth he has for a 9 month old.

Here's another 9 month old with lots of teeth. (Somehow I don't recall my children having as many at that age.) Here's Sierra who is now mobile.

She doesn't much like hats anymore but I managed this shot before she whipped it off.

It was a lovely morning and since I brought a fairy skirt and wings we went to the backyard to find some fairy orbs. Ok! I'll admit it., I make the orbs in photo shop. She did make the cutest little fairy though.

Here is my favorite in it's original form.

Here is the finished product.

And here - I caught her looking at her finger and thought it would be cute if she caught one. We did manage to slip the floral crown on her head and then distract her so she wouldn't take it off for a few shots.
Happy girl!

Can't wait for her next session - the first birthday session where we'll find out

how much she likes cake.

Baby's First Birthday and Baby's First Photo Session

On Saturday, Bella Celebrated her First Birthday

Here she is with big sister Chyann

As usual, the session ended with a baby in a diaper,

a birthday cake and a big mess.

She really liked this part!

Simone's First Photo Session
2 month old Simone was ready for her session with lots of big smiles for the camera. She made a perfect little cherub with her roly poly arms and legs and wonderful cheeks.

She was full of mischief in her little fairy outfit.

Here's her mom. Shawna

And here we have 4 generations of females.

Great-grandmother, Grandmother, Mom and Daughter

and joining the 4 generations of females, is Uncle Tarrel

to make a lovely family portrait.
