It’s been a whole year since I photographed little Mollie. Last time I saw her, she was a teeny newborn baby, who was just as laid back as could be. And this time she was just the same! She is, to date, the best tempered one year old I have ever had the pleasure of meeting! Usually the typical one year old will tolerate a one hour session at the most. But Mollie? She let us go on and on and on…and never cried or fussed. By the end, she gave us a quiet little “all done” and yawned a couple of times. Absolutely adorable. Her parents are awesome baby wranglers too. Daddy was playing the guitar, freestyling lyrics, lol. We had maracas and puppets and toys and grandma doing a dance behind me and my camera…It was fun! Both of Mollie’s parents are music teachers of course. :) Hope you like these!

Oh! And if you ever need a DJ for your entertainment needs, for weddings or any event you’re hosting, check out Mollie’s daddy! Here’s his website.

Oh I enjoyed the coos and baby songs that Miss Jane sang during our session. She is SUCH a cutie pie! I can’t WAIT to see her again for her next session. I just love her! :)

Little miss Lana isn’t a newborn. Oh no–she’s 3 months old but she let me pose her like she was brand new, for almost half of her session! I haven’t even gone through all the shots we got. I can say that we got more variety than any session I’ve ever done. All because miss Lana was so good for us. Thanks, Laura & Erik, for letting me document her time as a 3 month old sweet sack of sugar!

Oh what a sweet blessing to have two beautiful identical twins! At 8 weeks old, Emmett & Frazier are big boys! They haven’t had their 2 month checkup yet, but I say they could easily pass for 12 or 13 pounds EACH! It’s not a bad thing–especially when these sweet boys can throw down on some good ol’ breastmilk, ha! Congratulations, mom & dad! Thank you so much for allowing me into your home to capture this adorable time in your boys’ lives. :)

I was there for his birth. I took his newborn pictures. Then at 3 months, I was given the chance to photograph him again. And now at 6 months, he’s sitting and on the verge of crawling and taking off any second! Gosh, I just love watching the babies grow and see the changes as the miracle of life continues on. Baby Fletcher looked like a clone of his brother Eli, but is now growing into his own look. A look, I think, is looking more like his mommy! I love this baby. :)

I love this little man. I love holding him every time I see him. He’s such a good “holding” baby! He snuggles right against me, resting his cheek against mine. Mmmmm….Can’t beat good ole baby lovin’! Dana and I hung out at my house all day, letting the kids play and chase after Chloe, our new Shitzu puppy. Fun times!

Okay, so I HAVE to point out to everyone reading this blog post, that baby Fletcher is a CLONE of his big bro Eli. Below is Fletcher…

And below is Eli, wearing the exact same hat at the same age. A clone, I tell ya!

One of my bestest friends, Dana. I see this image of her and I tell myself, “I will never eat again. I’m going to workout everyday.” Ugh! She’s so frickin beautiful! And that baby she’s snuggling with doesn’t even LOOK like he came from her. Haha! Yeah, both of her boys are 100% daddy. I think she should keep having children until she has one that looks like her! (No offense, Jeff. But it’s only fair that you guys have at least ONE kid that looks like Dana.)

I couldn’t resist attempting the hanging baby shot with him. And he tolerated it–for all of about 5 seconds. Haha!

I snapped one really quick of my son, Brent with his best friend, Eli. Like I said–it was really quick!

The many adorable faces of Mr. Eli.

I had to add one with Eli and the mustache I got out of a gumball machine. Ha! A good laugh. :)

My favorite baby age (besides newborn, of course!) to photograph. And age where they can sit up for a little while, maybe crawl a little, and they’re brimming with personality. They laugh, they’re curious and they’re a perfect pint size. And this little guy was no exception! He was so happy the entire time I was there. Although he didn’t care to sit up for us, he crawled around like it was nobody’s business! *sigh* Just the cutest baby. Really. :) Oh, and by the way, his eyes are insanely blue! Nope–NO photoshop enhancement either! I even showed his mommy how blue eyes are right from my camera. They are so beautifully blue! I had a lot of fun with this session!

He’s 3 months old and oh so sweet and chubby. I did his newborn session when he was 4 weeks old. He’s gotten so big! He made me smile cooing at his mommy during his session. I arrived when he was napping and it took him a little while to wake up even when we shed his sleeper and slid on a diaper cover. As he woke up, he was so sweet! Just slowly blinking, sucking his thumb, looking at me with my big black camera like I was some crazy person…But he did so good. We tried to get his big brother, but he wasn’t feeling well. We did take him outside to see how he would do, and he wanted none of it! I did manage to snap one or two good ones of him though. I posted one at the end of the sneak peek. Thank you for letting coming back. It was a joy to get to see him again.

I have had the privilege of photographing this sweet little girl’s first year of life.  It makes me so happy to say that she celebrated her first birthday on October 3rd but it was exactly one year ago today, I showed up on this gorgeous family’s doorstep, with my camerabag on my shoulder, ready to capture a tiny, precious, 7 pound newborn baby girl in her fleeting newly born moments. (((sigh))) And today, I hung out in their home, snapping away at the day in the life of this walking, babbling, Gerber puff-eating, feisty little girl. And I enjoyed every single second of it. Thank you so much for letting me document her first year of life for you guys. My first real “baby planners!” Hopefully, there will be another “member” of your family in the future. :) Hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them. Seriously.

And this is Emma the Pomeranian who doesn’t want anyone to touch her but apparently, she loves Greenies, because everytime you ask her if she wants one, she cocks her head to the side, like this. :)

What a treat it was to hang out with a couple of GORGEOUS kids! Oh my goodness. Nora just hammed it up for the camera and baby Claire had other ideas–she wanted to sleep and certainly didn’t want me making googly noises and silly faces at her. Ha! But despite it all, I did get some beautiful captures of her sweet little face. :) Not to mention a few of the rest of the beautiful family too!
