A while ago, I posted some photos from Emily Claire’s 9 months session. She had that adorable bunny coat and those sparkling blue eyes. She is such a little sweetheart! I just love when I get to photograph her and her amazing parents, Heather and Brian. I can’t believe Emily is almost 1!!! Let’s take a look at some of my favorites from her most recent session, shall we?

See the frames in the background? They are photos from her newborn session. 🙂

Emily, you are just too adorable! Those eyes…that face! Pure sweetness!

Emily loves pink…so her pink flower headband was a must for this session!

Such a sweet family!

The image on the left (below) is one of my favorites!

Brian surprised Heather with this image in a lovely frame for Mother’s Day. I’m pretty sure she loved it. 😉

Then we went outside for some more fun!

Seriously adorable.

Favorite! Emily, you’re a future heart-breaker!

Another favorite! Peek-a-boo!

Emily, thank you for sharing your day with me! We always have so much fun!

Thanks again for all the sweet hugs – you always make my day! See you soon!

Emily Claire: 9 months

I always look forward to my sessions with Mason. I’ve had the joy of photographing her since she was born, and I feel so lucky to document her life and personality as she grows up. Mason and her family hold a special place in my heart. It seems like just yesterday I got to hold her in the hospital, so tiny and warm. I will never forget it. Time has flown by, and she’s now 2 years old! Let’s take a peek at some images from her fun and festive playtime session!

Mason’s Grandma Marlene was there, and she loves to make Mason laugh! I love it too!

Abby, Mason’s favorite doll, got to go for a little ride.

Favorite! I love how Mason giggles! And isn’t her dress just darling?

I love watching how quickly her expressions changed from one second to the next.

Then Mason wanted to have some fun in her pretty pink tutu! And she was very excited about Hop-Hop, aka the Easter Bunny, coming soon so we had some baskets and eggs to celebrate!

I love how she is thinking about what to do next here…

Mason, you have beautiful lashes! And such a pretty smile!

How cute is this face???

Seriously adorable.

Mason, thank you so much for sharing your morning with me! You are such a sweetheart!

Can’t wait to hang out with you again soon!

Mason: 2 years

It’s almost Easter, and I just have to share some of these images from Emily Claire’s 9 months session…she may be the cutest lil’ bunny ever! More to come from Emily’s session soon!

She’s such a doll! Those eyes! Oh, how I love her blue eyes!

Peek-a-boo bunny! Favorite!

Emily, you are too adorable!

Wishing you a Happy Easter!

Sneak Peek: Emily Claire: 9 months + Happy Easter!

About a month ago, this cute little guy celebrated his 1st birthday! Over the past year, I’ve had the absolute pleasure of watching his proud parents, Nick and Kristen, anxiously await his arrival, of capturing him in his first days in his new world, of documenting his growth, smiles, and laughter, surrounded by two people who love him so very much. Colin, you are definitely a lucky guy! And such a sweetie! Happy 1st Birthday to you! And thank you so much for allowing me to share in your life, it’s such a treat! Enjoy some of my favorites from your 1 Year session! (Feel free to check out more here, here, here, and here…all guaranteed to put a smile on your face!)

We started the session outside in the snow on a bright, sunny morning!

I just love Colin’s hat and jacket…he’s the cutest lil’ lumberjack! 😉

Then we headed indoors for some fun and laughs. Colin, your laugh is contagious!

He also has a serious side. Love this one!

And more laughs!

I can hardly stand how cute this is! Favorite!

Melt my heart! Another favorite. Just look at those eyes!

What better way to celebrate your 1st birthday than with an ice cream cone?

Soooo cute! Ahhh!

And he’s done! One thing is for sure, Colin loves vanilla ice cream!

Thanks for being such a good sport, Colin! You’re awesome!

After a warm bath, Colin was ready to play outside…

…and go for a drive!

What fun on a winter day!

Nick, Kristen, and Colin, thank you for sharing your day with me! I can’t believe Colin is already 1 year old, oh how time flies! Can’t wait to see you again!

Colin: 1 Year

We’re already 20 days in to the New Year! Last year, I did a post featuring some of my favorites from my 2009 sessions, and thought it would be fun to do it again for 2010! I truly love my job, and I have to admit that I really do have the best clients! Each of my clients is unique and wonderful, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them tick. I cherish the friendships that I’ve made, and feel so honored and grateful to be the one to capture hugs, love, laughter, smiles, and togetherness. Thank you to all of my clients for making what I do so incredibly rewarding. You rock! Now let’s get on to the images!
