Baby Shower

You may recognise Barbara from her maternity session that I shot a few weeks back. Her photography service package included her maternity session, baby shower photo coverage 3 maternity prints that were used for display at the shower, and a photo book with photos from the shower and the maternity session.

Her sister worked endlessly to put together this event, paying attention to each and every detail. There were lots of children, who were having a great time with the balloons and the music.

Nicole had her maternity session with her husband, Joe.

Their baby boy is due to arrive around MAy 15th

Baby love

They had their session at my house, which meant that Rocky had to get in on the action.

Nicole loves Rocky and didn;t mind at all that he got in on a couple of frame.

Stay tuned for the arrival of their bouncing baby boy.

Welcome Maeson

Here is 6 week old Maeson in his detail photo that will be part of his welcome package.

This image will also be included in his digital birth announcement along with the image of Maeson and his mom shown below.

Because he is of the Native American culture his Grandma asked if I would take a heritage photo with Maeson holding an Eagle feather

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.

Dance and Family Session

Here's my little friend Erin, with her mom, Majella and big brother Aiden for a family portrait.

After the family portraits, we noved on to Erin's dance photos which came out great. She has such nice form for an 8 year old.

One of her ballet costumes.
Getting jazzy in her tap costume

From skirt to tutu we're back to ballerina status.

As the session was wrapping up we took a "tired ballerina" pose.

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

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!
