1st year photo program

1st_year_littleboy_web
It just amazes me how fast little kids change so it makes it even more the better to be able to capture some of those ever changing moments for my families. Love this little sweetheart- his eyes are so beautiful! My first year package includes 3 sessions within the first year and I usually recommend them at 4 months, 7 months and 1 year. Why 4 and 7 months vs 3 and 6? Well I’ll tell ya! Babies can usually hold their heads up better at 4-5 months so it’s nice to be able to document that milestone and can make for some super cute pictures. Same thing with 7 months – look how cute his is sitting with his little naked tush! Most babies don’t sit well/for a good amount of time until more around 7 months :-)

Just thought I’d post a couple of my own wall collages that I LOVE!!!!

The 3 are Organic Bloom Frames – black on bottom and metallic bronze on top. Two 8x10s with a 16×20 in the center

This dinning room set is from Pottery Barn – gold gilt frames with the mat removed – holding 11×14 prints

I’ve always wanted to try to do a session in the peach orchards when the trees bloom but I tell you it’s a bit tricky! The trees only bloom for a very short period of time and our light can be a bit on the tricky side depending on the time of day but we lucked out with some beautiful weather this past weekend.

Soup’s On!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my – WOW! What a fun day I had with my two older boys yesterday!
A couple of days ago my youngest got out all my silver/pots etc and they all decided to play the drums/have a marching band (I’ll see if I can upload that video I took on my phone) so anyway….O fell in love with this gigantic wooden spoon that I have and of course asked if he could keep it. When I told him he couldn’t keep it but he could play with it…well that’s when he came home yesterday and decided that he wanted to pretend to make some soup. After fetching him a large pot, he is pleading with me to PLEASE PLEASE let him make a real soup! Lucky for him I had just stocked our pantry so I thought….why not! So that is how our adventure began! This was not planned, my house is not cleaned, my floors are dirty…. but man it was fun and they were so so proud of themselves. We even ate the soup for dinner that night with some yummy grilled cheese sandwiches. Aside from being a bit on the peppery side – it was pretty darn yummy! You’ll see the ingredients they used and you’ll see S is making out the recipe in case anyone wanted it! They are super excited to share these pictures with everyone!

I thought I’d post some examples of an exteded family session I did with Chaeli and her wonderful family when they came to town for a visit. The weather could not have been more uncooperative but darn it they were troopers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love large family and group photography sessions!

Red balloons and lots of mommy kisses

Mother and sonWhew – I have really let blogging fall to the back burner lately! This beautiful session was from back in December! I meant to post it for Valentines Day since I realized I was already behind and the colors/theme also worked for Valentines day (mom’s idea actually) and I even missed that deadline! I love all the hugs and kisses and fun from this session with my little friend! He’s growing up so fast!
