it’s fun to watch babies grow throughout the first year and even beyond!  this little cutie was featured on the blog as a newborn back in may of last year.  here she is at five and nine months.  she’s one of the happiest babies i’ve ever worked with…always a smile on her face!  i can’t wait to see her at her one year session!

it’s amazing how she’s on her back and tummy and just a few short months later, she’s sitting up!

you can just feel the fun and love these two have for each other!  so glad i could capture who they are together at this stage.

newborn girl goodness here!  she was wide awake when i arrived so we had some fun capturing her big blue eyes and priceless expressions.  then, she finally did fall asleep so i could capture all the squishy, sleepy moments.   her parents were over the moon and totally focused on being together and taking care of their newborn.  it’s so neat how two people suddenly become so much more than just three when a baby is born.  they become a family.  here are some of my fav’s:

“hello everyone!”

such a cool rocker!  she’ll be” babying it up” in style for sure!

i am so thankful i met tamar and elliot  last year.  i fell in love with the kids instantly.  they were so well behaved and up for the idea of running around with me and my camera following.  i feel like this family was meant to be my clients.  they wanted as-you-are images to take place in their yard.   mission accomplished!  i enjoy the idea of capturing a space and time that is personal.  i have images of me at my old house from when i was a kid and love looking at the little things like the swingset, the patio, how the house looked from the street, etc.  there’s always going to be cool locations around town to explore, and i love that too, but there’s no place like home!  here are some of the fav’s from our fun afternoon together:
