here’s more clothing and cuties in case you missed the first batch of images from my wonderful afternoon at little lords and ladies boutique.  if i had kids this age, i’d be in trouble for sure!  i have 15% off coupons for the store to give to my clients and all of you blog followers who i so appreciate.  if you want one, let me know.

i love watching babies grow up on the big shots baby plan.  i also love when grandparents join in for one of the sessions.  that’s one of the cool things about the plan; being able to mix things up here and there since there are multiple sessions.  we started with elliot’s newborn session, then cohen and elliot shared some brotherly love for elliot’s four month session.  this time we have 9 month old elliot, big brother cohen and both sets of grandparents.  i’d say the kids are very lucky to have so many people who love them close by.  and i’m happy to be able to capture who they are together!  here are some of my fav’s…

love the tender touch from cohen to elliot.

mommy, michelle, didn’t have a starring role but did a great job in her supporting role to help elliot stand up!

what a lovely, sunny afternoon we had shooting part of the spring line at Little Lords & Ladies Children’s Boutique.  it was great catching up with my clients and met lots of new people who signed up to be a part of the shoot via my facebook page.  i appreciate everyone who participated and showed up on time.  the shoot ran like a well oiled machine!  i’ll be doing more shoots like this in the future.  If you’d like to be a part, like my facebook page and you’ll be the first to know!  everyone got a coupon to use that day at the store and free prints from me.  yep, sugar & spice and everything nice- that’s what my shoots are made of!

you all probably recognize hadley from her many shoots with me from newborn to sitting up to her first birthday!  i can’t get enough of her!

little michael is a new friend!  look at those eyes…what a cutie!

i met bella for the first time that day but will be seeing her again in the fall when i shoot her newborn sister or brother.  can’t wait!

i shot phoebe’s siblings years ago before she was born.  now she’s  a spunky toddler!  time flies…

yanky has grown so much since his newborn session.  happy one year to you!

rowan is the owner’s granddaughter.  she was born to model!

last but not least is one of my favorite young ladies, kathryn.  she had her dad and brother, lloyd, there to make her laugh but did a great job showing off the clothes all on her own.

the weather outside is nice, but come on, nothing beats true sun and sand!  so i’m sharing another post from a session i did in florida with cindy, anton and their kids jack and emme.  cindy is the reason i went to florida.  i was at lunch two weeks before the break.  she was telling me how she was going down again (they drive 17 hours each break to naples) FAR!  every year i tell cindy, “we should go” but i just never get it together.  time would go by, and the break would come and go.  but not this year.

cindy got me hooked up with a condo rental site and josh found us a really cheap flight (i can not do 17 hours in a car!!!).  we planned on doing some shoots so, with camera in tow, we headed down.  cindy’s family is gorgeous!  look at all of them.  only problem is emme really doesn’t like having her picture taken.  so we went with it and here’s some of my favorites from their session…

future teen heartthrob!

pensive emme.  they don’t always have to be smiling!!!

i told you they’re gorgeous!

emme and her cousin morgan, who you probably remember from this post,  are the same age and bff.  what a touching moment between these girls.

a true classic!  the epitome of “capturing who they truly are”!

over the next few months i hope to share more about our family and experiences we’ve shared throughout the year.  one of them was our trip to florida.  i’ll blog some of our images soon.

first i want to post these images of toni, andy and their gorgeous kiddos.  i had the exciting opportunity to shoot a few beach sessions while we were in naples/marco island recently.  we met up with some friends from cincinnati down there who wanted me to truly capture who they are; bathing suits, sand and all.  it was so much fun because it really just was SO much fun!  take a family from up north, plunk them in 85 degree weather by the ocean and this is what you get…

cutest couple!

the calm before the storm…

…crazy seagulls.

this image makes me want to touch my screen to feel that clear water…

future heartbreaker!
