You'd never believe that it took this blue eyed boy a little while to warm up to the camera! At first Carter was a little shy...wasn't sure he wanted to do any of the things I was asking him to do - like look for deer or climb of a set of fun stairs...he kept making his Mommy and Daddy do it with him. (Don't worry guys I left the photos of you all lying on the ground out of the sneak peek!) But after he figured out it was all fun and games, he loved the camera...and as you can tell the camera loved him right back!
Michell - Thanks so much for meeting me for an early session - I think it was well worth it :) Enjoy your sneak peek!
Addison...oh Addison - I love our sessions (newborn, 6 months, 1 year), you make me laugh, smile and remind me so much of my little girl - it is just a BLAST to photograph you. Even though you made us work REALLY hard for your smiles this day - when we got them, they were genuine and full of fun. I love the look of surprise on your face, seeing your teeth and even the photos of your serious face. I just have to make comments on the photos below...as they totally need captions. If only you could have been a fly on the wall at this session...this is truly why I love to be a photographer - capturing the true real moments. It isn't always sunshine and roses, but when it is, the sun is super bright and the roses smell so sweet.
Bre and Marcus - thanks so much for allowing me to continue to photograph Addison - it is a real treat and one that I look forward to every year. And also - thanks for not leaving me stranded ;) You guys rock! Enjoy your sneak peek!
Daddy's Little Girl (Bre - make a large canvas of this one and hang it in your house!!)
PUR-PLE! (and FYI - I can't say this word anymore without shaking my hips thanks to you guys!!)
Background to this photo...I asked Addison "what was on your birthday cake?" the response of which was "Kermit" then I said "MAH NA MA NA" and this is the result of her total utter surprise that I starting singing a song from the Muppets...priceless!
Addison - how do you brush your teeth? :)
This is one of our favorites from her 1 year session...now and then...
Shake it! Shake it!! (so sad a two year old has more rhythm then me...)
Miss Serious - from the beginning...still not sure who I am putting her up on a ledge... ;)
Maddox is going to be little brother to Big Sister Daphne and a cousin to a few of my other photography clients - and they area all waiting anxiously to meet him!! Maddox's Mommy's maternity session was one of my favorite so far - I captured some of my all time favorite images with his Mommy and Big Sister and am so glad I get to finally share them with you all!
Dara & Brian - Thanks so much for inviting me into your home to photograph this exciting and memorable time in your lives. I can't wait to meet little Maddox! Enjoy your sneak peek!
