FAMILY...what else do you need?

This great family was all in town to celebrate a 3rd Birthday!!! So...what better to do...lets go to take pictures! They braved out into the heavy flooding we were having on Saturday morning to get these great pictures to cherish forever! I had a blast and I hope you guys did too! Hope you guys had fun at the birthday party later that afternoon!

Ms. C......a FUN 3 month old!

There is a sterotype on 3 month olds. They are usually a very difficult age to photograph because they are in a "inbetween" stage of newborn and learning to sit up...etc. BUT...this little girl blew that sterotype right out of the water. Her mom wanted a mommy and me session and we got a lot of super cute shots on the backdrop and in her nursery. Then....then little C did what every photographer dreams about...she FELL ASLEEP! The type of sleep that you can do whatever you want to them and they don't move. So...we did just that...we played! We could have gone all day but I had to call it quits and go pick up my little one. While I was downloading her session, I also had just recieved a lot of new items for editing. So.....I played with some of them. You be the judge...do you like them? Too much? Of course, mom gets all the original edited pictures on her cd and these are just extras. I think I like them. Still learning how to play with them but I think what we were using as props...it works. You tell me!

Baby M....only 4 days old!

The sleepy eyes, the feeding after feeding, and the numerous diaper changes is a good description of this session. This little one was only 4 days so he was still giving mom and dad a good run for their money! He def did not like it when I would uncover him....he wanted to be nice and cozy under a blanket...in his daddy's arms. I hope to see this little one again very soon! Thanks mom and dad! Congratulations....he is AMAZING!

~Mom and Dad to be.....to Ms. A~

Meet this beautiful mommy to be! She is due in October with a GIRL! We went out one evening and captured this mommy in all of her beauty. Dad-to-be joined us for the fun. I give him props....there was FOOTBALL going on.....yet he was being a great husband and celebrating this great time in their lives. I am looking forward to meeting Ms. A and all beauty she will bring to the world! Not too much longer mom and dad!!!

Just look at her! :)

I am a crazy blogger today!!!! This rain is allowing me to "catch up" on getting all these great pics out to share with everyone!! Talk about a TOTAL CUTIE!!! Little Ms. K is just that. Now...mom was a little sad because her little girl did not share one single smile the whole session. We tried EVERYTHING! She was just too interested in looking around and trying to fiqure out what we were doing. But, just looking at Ms. K...I knew smiles or no smiles...we will get some most adorable pictures. And with that being said......
(next time...we will get some smiles!!!)

The AMAZING M Family!

Talk about a FUN family!!! We laughed SOOO much during this session that my stomach hurt! :) These kiddos knew what to do, when to do it and how to do it! Their personalities just shined though!!! I am so glad to have met this family and spent the evening with them. We talked about ice cream the whole session and I think when we both got in our cars...we headed straight to Braums! Heather, your children are so much fun, so well mannered and you guys are just an AWESOME family!!! I can't wait to see you guys again very soon!!
(And bring dad next time!!)
