I had these two beautiful people in my studio today for their engagment session. Their wedding is in April- I will have the pleasure of capturing their special day. It should be a blast ! The whole time during this session all I could see is their amazing eyes- BOTH OF THEM ! Then my mind was wondering off to " awww what cute babies these two will make !" SORRY guys...I love babies !
Here are you some sneak peeks of my favorite ones today...enjoy !

This Weeks Sneak Peeks !

I had some serious cute little girlies in my studio Saturday ! First Miss A came back to do her Cake Pics. But she was so cute in her little outfit with those sweet little Air Jordans - I had to get a few of her in it before we dug into cake ! Then I had her try out the new tu-tu color & bow...you can tell she would have rather not tried it on ! HAHA ! I will give you a call next week mom with your cd. Thanks for coming back !

Then a sweet mommy who I knew when she was in High School came in. When I taught preschool at Head Start she was one of my favorite classroom volunteers ! And I saw her on Facebook ! YEA ! She brought her precious baby girl in for some fun pictures. What a doll she is- LOVE THOSE EYES ! She is a sweet little busy girl- smarties were our key to get her to sit ! Mom brought the cutest Love Bug Outfit for some Valentine Pictures. Mom I hope you enjoy your sneak peeks & it was so good to see you again !

Then I had this sweet little gorgeous red head with amazing blue eyes come to see me for her 2 year pictures. Mom brought very helpful Big Sister along- Thanks for all your help A ! Little Miss A was not so sure about being in the studio, so we had to get creative & yes smartie candy bribery ! I captured her sweet little smiles & fell in love with how sweet she looks sucking her thumb. Enjoy mom & thanks for coming in !

Last night I had a fun family with 4 super cute kiddos ! Oh the cuteness of the red hair & the freckles & the giggles...oh the giggles ! This is their first time in the studio & hope its not their last. They are all so fun ! Boys- B & B 7 & 4 then little Miss A & A 2 & 4 weeks. It took a little while until we could get them all in one shot...Baby A had to drink her bottle & was not happy until it was ALL GONE ! Then she was laid back & ready ! So precious ! Thanks mom & dad for coming in !

30 Minute Session
Call & Book your appt today

What a wonderful day....

Saturdays are usually my busiest days of the week. I am usually booked solid with sessions intermixed with my daughters basketball games, taking or picking up my other daughter from her part time job-so basically than can get a little hectic from time to time. But this Saturday was a fun smooth Saturday ! YEA !
My sessions started bright & early with one of my baby plan babies- Mr P & all his handsome hair ! Oh how I love his hair...and all his cute little fat rolls. He was in a good mood & I captured some of his sweet little smiles. Dad is a big Duke fan - so Mom decked Mr P out in his Duke Duds ...I just hope he doesn't grow up & like North Carolina or something like that !
See you for you 6 month session before we know it P !




Then after lunch I had a new client come in- oh what a doll she is. Little Miss B was not feeling all the way herself- she had those mean 6 month shots. But you couldn't tell it with all the smiles she was giving me ! She loves the song her mommy & daddy sing to her in Spanish. Every time they started she was beaming with smiles ! And the best thing about my new client...Mom has a LOVE for BIG BOWS like I do !! Enjoy the sneak peeks Mom !



Right after little Miss B left, Miss A came in for her 1 yr session. She has been in a couple times before- if it wasn't a 3 hour drive here I think she would come see me more- right Mom ?? at Christmas Little Miss A was not crazy AT ALL about having pictures taken...oh but not today ! She was full of smiles & silly faces ! Even tried out my new green & white tu-tu ! We finished the session up with some yummy cake.....must have been yummy- not much left of it !
A's cousin Miss P is one of my baby plan babies came with her. I took a few of them together- they are so cute together. After the session while mom dressed A- I of course had to go talk to P- she reached her arms out for me to take her- aww melted my heart...then she just laid her little head on my chest & loved on me ! AWWWW HOW I LOVE MY JOB !! Made me smile inside & out ! Thanks girls for both coming in ! Happy Birthday Miss A !! And see you next month P for your 1 year session !





Then to finish the day out my newest baby plan baby came to see me for her 3 month session- Miss R...oh how she has grown since her newborn session ! She has the sweetest little chubby cheeks & sweet little bald head ! And this girl has a wardrobe ...watch out Daddy ! I am excited to watch her grow. See ya for that 6 month session before you know it !

Before I turned the heat & the lights off my sister & my sweet niece & nephew came over. I wanted some of my nephew Aiden in my new firetruck with the new fireman jacket. He is such a cutie...yea I am biased ! Don't worry he wont be able to be in the cute baby contest ! Well I have a bride that is anxiously awaiting some wedding photos....so I am off to work. Enjoy the sneak peeks ! Hope everyone has a great week !

Sneak Peeks !

First full weekend back after the Christmas break. And what a fun Saturday it was ! First a beautiful family that has been in before- well just the kids have had pictures taken....Mom I am hoping you will be happy with your long awaited family photo of you all ! Then we did some of their sweet baby boy D for his 3 month session. Can't wait to see you back for his 6 month session !



My next session wasn't so sure about being in the studio. He was all decked out in his John Deere stuff...SO CUTE ! After he warmed up to the idea of the Firetruck & playing blocks...I captured some smiles. Happy 2nd Birthday Mr C ! See mom I did get some smiles ! Thanks for coming in !



Then Little Miss L came to see me for her 1st Birthday pictures. This is her first time in the studio- she was full of smiles & giggles- contagious giggles ! A total ham ! After a few outfit changes we then let her loose on her birthday cake mom brought in. That poor cake never saw it coming...haha ! She loved making a mess, she wasnt much on eating it. But loved playing with it ! Happy Birthday Little Miss !



Then Little Miss E...oh what fun she was ! Love the curls & giggles ! I had a blast...we danced & giggled...have I mentioned how I love my job lately ?? Also thanks Miss E for trying out my new polka dot rain coat...now I need boots & an umbrella to top it off ! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek Mom !
