Little Boy Blue

Little boy blue, come blow your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn...

Where is that boy who looks after the sheep?
Under the haystack fast asleep.
Will you wake him? Oh no, not I
For if I do he will surely cry!

Meet baby Ben (little brother to Owen.) Oh-so-little and scrumptiously sweet at 14 days of age, photographed on his original due date.

Henry & Elliott

This one said he was a rockstar...

...and he had the moves to prove it!

This one was simply irresistible...

...even if he was more interested in sticks and leaves and eating mulch.

Happy Birthday, Charlie!

I hung out at the park with Charlie yesterday, and he gave me a run for my money! Everybody knows grass and leaves and birthday cake are much more interesting than a camera!

So he had to be conned into smiling - a little assistance from Daddy did the trick!

I love new walkers (and sweet curls!)

Miss Is

Meet Isabel - longed for, loved, and oh-so-adorable!
At 13 weeks she is very expressive and vocal. Her parents call her Chopstick because she loves to smile (and laugh) when they read from the takeout menu. Hee! She made me giggle!

Gracie, Gracie, give me your answer true...

I'm half crazy over your eyes of blue...(and those adorable curls in the back of your hair!)
Miss Gracie will be 1 year old in 10 days!
Happy early birthday, sweet girl!

Wyatt & Andrew

Loved these little dudes!
I shot them against a white backdrop, too, but thought you might enjoy some color for a change...

Such cute lashes & curls!

Love how little bro's leaning against big brother for some protection in this one...

Wyatt showing off his knowledge of shapes (and framing his eyes oh-so-nicely!)

Happy Friday!

peas porridge in the pot, nine days old

This post really has nothing to do with peas, but everything to do with Miss Catherine, nine days old...

Oh, it's a tough job, photographing babies, but somebody's gotta do it...and it might as well be me!

Seriously, who can resist a monogrammed tush?

Congratulations, Caroline & John!

Happy 1st birthday, Anna & Brooke!

These sweet girls turn one tomorrow! I can hardly believe it!
You may remember them from their newborn shoot last year.

You know what else they'll be celebrating tomorrow? One year of parenthood! I love how happy Ali looks here -- she's made it through an exhausting but oh-so-rewarding year with her girls and come out on top..

...and these girls definitely love their mama!

Congrats, Ali & Steven! Happy birthday sweet girls!

Know what I love?

Call me weird, but I love processing portrait orders!

It's definitely a hands-on process for us:

...taking orders and learning which images are our clients' favorites.

...working on the individual images, doing small edits to enhance them...things you wouldn't necessarily notice unless you hold your proof image and your finished image side by side. Making sure the images "pop."

...inspecting every portrait when it comes back from the lab, making sure it's just right (I'm such a perfectionist about that...it's hard for me to let the images go.)

...packaging up the orders prettily and sending them out.

...envisioning these photos -- memories -- on the walls of our clients' homes.

...knowing that you trust us to capture these images and provide the final products to you. That makes me so happy! It makes the work worth it.

I am so thankful to be working in such a fulfilling profession.
Thank you for allowing us to do so!

meet Ella

The thing about a 5 week old versus a newborn is that they tend to like to stay awake for photoshoots.

Which is absolutely fine with us, especially when they look at the camera (look at those beautiful dark eyes!)

Here's Ella & mom, Amy...

...oh, and here's Amy's other baby. (Technically firstborn, I guess...meet Zoe.)

3 words

Yes, that blue.

Not just Gracie, but her cousins, too.

Add in those long lashes and you've got yourself a set of future heartbreakers!

in for her closeup

Officially 2.5 years old yesterday.

It is rare these days that she cooperates with the camera. So you may notice a few cheesy cracker crumbs around her mouth.
And yes, her eyes are that blue and that sparkly. Especially when we snuggle up for naptime and the sun is shining on them - then there's almost a little green in them. She is a good snuggler, and I love that about her. Because for the most part she's off and running and doing everything "myself! myself!" which take infinitely longer. So I treasure those brief moments when she's still and sweet and still my baby a little bit longer.
Hardly a baby anymore, really, but still our baby.

little miss Maisy

Some days you just don't feel like having your picture taken.
Especially when some people think you should be naked...

But mom and dad can always make things better....

...and a cozy blanket seems to help, too.

Baby J, part II

You might remember baby J's newborn photos...
It was such a treat to see him (and his mom, Angie) again this past week - baby J's all grown up! (Okay, not quite yet...he still has that wonderful baby smell.) He smiled at me in his crib, he smiled when he was on the changing table, and then we took him out on the front porch for photos and he said "this is crazy, woman!" and we had a much harder time convincing him to smile again.

I love these little baby bits & pieces, especially those long dark lashes and the little bit of drool...

But for the record we did get him to smile -- I'm just saving those photos to show Angie tomorrow. : )

sisters

Seriously sweet!

I love how connected these two were...right down to their feet! Brooke is on the left (she was awake for the whole shoot) and Anna is on the right (she was asleep almost the entire time.)

Here's Brooke hanging on to mom...

and mom holding on to both...

So dad doesn't feel slighted...

I imagine the womb is a lot like this when you have to share space:

Last one...

I lied...1 more, just to give you an idea of how tiny they really are. At 17 days old they weigh in at 5 lbs (Brooke) and 6 lbs (Anna). This is Brooke in her dad's lap.

I should note that we did photograph them separately (and took candid photos while we were there, too) but this is the section I'm proofing right now so this is what you get to see. I could have easily photographed them all day! Such baby sweetness x 2. : )

photo share from the May CK

I thought I'd share a favorite photo that I took last August at a baby shower for Crystal. This is baby Meredith and her mom, Laura.

Such a sweet, sweet baby girl! I can only imagine how big she is now!

Anyway, the photo appears in the May issue of Creating Keepsakes.

today

Had some photos developed this week and they arrived in the mail today. These are all 12" x 18" and have double-weight matboard behind them. Metallic finish, too, which is very cool.
