O and G

This weekend I had a little visit with my good friend "B" and her adorable daughters "O" and "G".   Mommy picked out some adorable outfits for the girls to wear, and we were able to find some cute props to match.  I just love the photos with the toy dog!  The girls took turns getting their pictures taken and luckily there were a few moments when they agreed to stand next to each other.  Poor little G, got a bit upset when O gave her a hug around the neck that was a bit too hard.  Poor direction on my part when I told her to squeeze :-)

Here is the sneak peek. . . Enjoy!

I just love those pig tails!

This little one was fearless - climbing and standing on top of the box!

Beautiful O!

I love this set of pictures!

Happy 1st Birthday A!

I am sure your Mommy and Daddy would agree that you are growing up so quickly.  

"A" had his first birthday party the day before our photo shoot and from the looks of things, he made out like a bandit.  He must of been a good boy this year.

I have to admit, A was quite an easy baby to photograph.  He was full of smiles and hamming it up for the camera, especially in our little made up beach scene.

The weather this day was so mild, so we were able to go outside for a bit.  We even were lucky enough to get a family portrait that included the dog :-)

Here is the sneak peek. . .  Enjoy!

  

Training to be a soccer star, just like Daddy.

Where's the beach?

Look at that smile. . I could just eat him up.

Professional Baby Model?  I think so.

Little A - 9 Months Already!

This was my second time photographing the gorgeous little A.  I couldn't believe how much she had grown since the last time I saw her. 

Little A had a big event coming up as she was getting christened the next day.  So to honor the event we took a few photos of her in her Christening gown as we held our breathe and prayed for no drool, spit up or stains.  

Big cheeky smiles from little A were few and far between unless Grandpa was in the room.  We did manage to get some great shots with some adorable expressions.  Here is the sneak peek. . .

Modeling the Christening Dress and Bonnet with Mommy's Sweater and Daddy's Blanket

She had us laughing as she placed the basket on her head.  I love this picture!

What an adorable little chair

You can never get too many kisses from Mommy and Daddy

February Maternity Session - Sneak Peek

Did I have a fun day today?  You betcha!  I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful Miss L and her handsome beau D.  I just finished my first review of the photos and I just love them.  I swear L was a model in a previous life, although she denied it when I asked.

This was such a fun session.  L came prepared with outfit changes, props and ideas.  Both D and L were such great sports as we experimented with poses.  We cracked up when I instructed L into a pose which resembled the George Costanza couch pose.  

I hope D and L like these pictures as much as I do.  Here is a sneak peek of just a few of my favs. . .

 

Spring Mini Sessions

Now and Forever Photography

M Family

Today I had the pleasure of meeting the M Family and their cousins from Pennsylvania. When I arrived I was greated by the two most adorable little girls in pink dresses who were very excited to have their pictures taken. Big Sister G - was like a little professional model, she has the most beautiful smile and willingly posed for the camera. Little Sister G - was also quite a little ham - but she needed a few breaks in between. She insisted on taking some pictures with her BaBa (which turned out adorable) and gave some great smiles during the session. Mommy was a big help as she had some arsenial in her back pocket and did a little bribing with lollipops. The older cousins were just darling people and Cousin H - was quite a character. I think we have a George Constanza pose in there somewhere (you know there one - where he poses in his boxer shorts on a couch). Don't worry - this rendetion was performed fully clothed. Here is a sneak peek of the session.

Love this picture. Aren't these girls the cutest?

The cousins. I think their parents will love this family shot.
The whole clan of kids in black and white.

Big G - What a smile. . .

Our Trip to Cincinnatti

We are back! We have returned from our trip from Ohio and survived the holidays. Charlie had a great time in Ohio visiting Ben and Blake. He loved the airplane and was such a good little traveler. We spent a lot of time taking pictures of the three kids - so I thought I'd post a few of my favorites. Here they are. . . Enjoy!

Little Blake and the Tractor - John Deer Advertisement?

Love this bench - it's in the middle of an open field near a barn. We spent a lot of time taking pictures here.
My little Charlie - climbing around on a riding lawnmower. I hardly ever get a smiling picture from him these days! Love it!Blake in her tutu - How cute is the outfit. I wish I could have brought this wagon home with me. All the pictures taken here were gorgeous.

Blake feeding Ben a snack of Hay.

3 cute little buns.

Classic shot of Ben and the Horse.

We were trying out a chair shot in open field - I've seen this done on other blogs. Not bad for the first try. Love the Tobacco advertisement in the background. Treat yourself to the best! :-)

Ben and Blake - How cute are they?

The Sakach Family

The 3 kids at Miami - Our Alma Matter.

Blake was wearing a Matilda Jane dress which makes me want a little girl so badly. The clothes are so cute. I think this picture could pass for 50 years ago.

Can you say "Grumpy Old Men"?
