My nephew.

Just wanted to share some shots of my nephew I took when he came to visit for his 9th birthday.   He is the perfect little model - not only is he gorgeous, but he is the perfect poser (I did not even have to tell him what to do!).  He is going to be a lady killer in a few years - look at those blue eyes!  We did this urban shoot at a little stretch of stores near Scalini's and Times Ten Cellars for all you Lakewood folks...  

Happy Birthday!

This Victoria on our little urban adventure to Fair Park.  We saw a huge paper mache dinosaur, a really funny looking cat, and tons of very exciting trucks and buses.  Look at those gorgeous eyes!  She turns 2 today, so Happy Birthday Victoria!!  

Sisters!

Oh my goodness, these girls are adorable!  Three sisters, 4, 2, and brand new - all with their own personalities.   Baby Olivia was SO good for me - she's 13 days old here, and she slept the WHOLE time.  We were inside for her newborn shoot, then outside with all of the girls, then inside to cool off, then outside again, and so on.  She didn't even stir!  And big sisters Ella and Ava were too cute - Ella was such a sweet and protective big sister already, and Ava was so fun and spunky.  I really enjoyed meeting you all.  I can tell you have some great times ahead of you with these three.  

We're back!

We just got back yesterday from our 2 1/2 week trip to the Maine woods.  We go every summer to my husband's family's house on a beautiful lake in the middle of practically nowhere.  It's an outdoor wonderland and the kids had a blast - fishing, remote control boats, blueberry picking, swimming, relaxing, and a little frog kissing here and there.  Here's a peek at our trip...  

Squishy baby.

Meet Shelby, the squishiest, cuddliest little thing ever.  She was pushing three weeks at the time of the shoot, but you never would have known it - she was the perfect little model!  She gave me some amazing eye contact while she was awake, then she zonked out for the rest of the time and didn't wake up no matter how much we moved her around.  Mom said she cried at the slideshow, which is the best compliment I could get.  I LOVE my job and love to make people happy with my work.  : )  Enjoy!   

More of the tiny little girl : )

Here are a few more of sweet little Josie and big brother Schaefer, now that the gallery is finished!  You can see in the second image how tiny she is next to her mom's hands (but I think mom's hands are pretty little, too).  I've been getting my baby fix with all these newborns I have had lately - they are just SO sweet!  I had another newborn last week that I will be posting soon....
