My last shoot of 2008

What an incredible year it's been! Here's another beautiful girl I've known since she was just a few weeks old. I've loved being there as little N has grown. Here she is now, in all her three year old glory:


And telling me all about her blocks:


So wonderful to see you again! Have a wonderful holiday, and see you next year :)

Many years, big girls

I've been taking pictures of these girls every year since I started my business back in 2003, and they've gotten so big!


It's sweet, because they know I'm coming, and remember having done this year after year, so the three of us just wander the house inside and out, and their parents like to keep the pictures as a surprise, so it's up to us to play and take fun pictures. I love this one out in the snow:


And ever since the beginning, the girls have always included their beloved stuffed animals, so we had to get them in a few shots, of course:


And this was their favorite trick of this year's photos - the carry. I have to say it again - I can't believe how big they've gotten!

Happy Holidays!

I have three more shoots in 2008, but I think I'm going to take a blogging break until 2009.

<-- Here's my 3 year old Annie making wishes come true in our family holiday card (designed by Amy at Chubbybum.com).

And if you haven't watched it, check out my top ten favorite things in 2008 card here.

Happy New Year!

We had snow, and cuteness - all at once

Gorgeous girl B is only ten months old, but she's very sweet to her pup:


Doesn't she look like such a little angel here?


Some mommy toe kisses:


And can't forget the fabulous hat!


We actually had snow outside as we were shooting - it was a winter wonderland :)


And even when you're ten months old and perfect, there comes a time when the photos are done. I love this! Really great to meet you guys, thanks for a fun shoot.

A big brother and sister welcome their new twin brother and sister

4 year old big brother H likes to be the one to hold his new six week old sister and brother. Two year old sister P's job was "patter", though, and she did a fabulous job:


Tickling toes:


Little E was a little sleepy:


Look at these cuties:


So glad you decided to use your gift certificate now, while the babes are still tiny! I love these shots :)

Happy 1st Birthday, Boys!

I know I missed your first birthday by one day, but I wanted to say a belated happy birthday to these two gorgeous boys:


I like this snacktime moment:


Here's C alone, showing us his sweet smile:


And T getting tossed in the air by his dad:


Great to meet you guys, and Kathryn, so nice to see you again!

Three years of grins

I love going back and seeing families I've known since their babies were tiny - it's so much fun for me. I met big brother W and big sister A three years ago when they were just a few weeks old, and now they have a sweet sister L:


Ladies first, here's the beautiful three year old now:


And sweet girl L - love her tongue here:


And the handsome three year old W:


And I love how A is getting her lips ready for her kiss here. Thanks for a fun photoshoot as usual!

Gorgeous toes, and smiles at 5 weeks old

Beautiful girl with a sweet smile:


And I love these toes as she hollers at her mama:


Practicing her punch:


Love the tush:


What a beauty! Thanks so much for having me come meet your sweet girl :)

All my favorites are pictures of all three? What?

So normally I like to choose individual shots of each of the kids, maybe one of all three together when we have a group of cuties in the pictures... but this time I have five favorites that all have all three of them in them. Crazy.
I love how the one thing in really crisp focus in this one is Monty - the pup in the back:


These guys think their little sister is pretty hilarious:


And it's always good to dance:


Here are the three of them inside relaxing in the windowseat:



And of course we had to add the fourth baby to the shot :)
Great to see you guys again!

A fun 2 year old guy

We had a great time last week playing with these guys in their backyard:


Isn't he a handsome guy?


I love this of big boy S being Superman with dad - the curtains behind them are so cool looking!


And of course doing some of his coloring with mom:


And although we got lots of cute ones of the three of them smiling all together, I had to post this one - it makes me laugh so much! Loved seeing you guys - talk to you soon :)

Big sister hugs

A huge hug from big sister M gave little sister J a reason to grin last weekend:


But her dad's funny faces were even better:


Isn't big girl M just gorgeous? I love this one:


Wonderful to see you guys again. I hope the move goes/went OK!

Five smiles, five shots

In choosing my favorite pictures from this cutie's photoshoot last weekend, I had a problem - they were all smiling shots. I know that's not a problem, but I think it says something about the temperament of this gorgeous boy:


I love how his mom and dad are giggling here:


And nothing beats a belly tickle:


Flying high:


So nice to meet you guys! Thanks for having me :)
