Moving....

So I am still taking pictures (although not as many lately) but I have had multiple requests to move my photos to facebook format rather than blog format...so I did. So those of you who are my 'followers' (thank you by the way...that is totally cool) please check out my facebook page

Also I do have another blog as well, though at this point there is not much there. But if you are interested it is...

I have had a renewed interest in blogs lately so I may or may not start blogging there. This site will be gone within a month though so...see you elsewhere!

Austin @ 4 Months

Could these kids be any cuter? Seriously?? I love them!

April was a BUSY month so finding time to do pictures wasn't the easiest thing...but obviously it was well worth it! Austin at 4 months was adorable! I couldn't put him down...although that has been true since he was born :) Madison was 100% big sister on this day too! She was excited about doing pictures with her brother and even some by herself! And of course, she is ALWAYS beautiful.

 

Easter Kids

My lovely friend Georgia asked me to do some Easter pictures of her beautiful daycare babies...who are not babies anymore! I was so surprised at how much they have grown and changed. Some of them remembered me, some were more shy but once we got the Easter eggs out EVERYONE wanted to play. It was a lot of fun and despite a rainy day causing us to make it an indoor shoot we still got some super cute shots. I even tried out some of the Easter backgrounds...though I don't generally love this kind of thing, I think several of them are pretty cute.

Abby

Cason

Ella (isn't she precious?)

Isaiah (he was sooo Aunt Karla's little helper this day)

Rose & Jacob (brother&sister)

Libby ( love her smile)

Everybody...such sweet kids!

Isaiah turns the big 03

So this weekend I met Isaiah (and his parents obviously) downtown to take some pictures for his 3rd birthday. I cannot believe he is 3 years old! I remember getting the phone call about his birth like it was last week! He is every inch the big boy in these pictures though. I had so much fun and he was a trooper! We walked the length of the riverfront from Gay St to the walking bridge...through the "smelly fort" (his name) with almost 300 pictures in between. I love this kid! Obviously I had a hard time narrowing down my choices so forgive the longish post but even now I just want to show off more of them! We had a lot of shadow issues throughout the pictures, but basically I think they are great anyway! lol! Thanks for sharing this day and allowing me to capture these awesome memories! Love you guys!

So this may be one of my favorite pictures EVER...cute kid, awesome background, beautiful day...I love it!

I love the background here! And how bored Isaiah looks!

And just b/c I love him here he is with me being silly boy after we are all done!

Slumber Party

So right around the time Austin turned 3 months I had the chance to go spend the night with him...something I have not done since he was a newborn. How different he is! I have been marveling at his growth but spending this time really showed it. Holding him is totally different now...not only b/c of how big he is but also b/c he definitely prefers to be held so he can see the world now. It is so amazing to watch him watch things!

Big sister Madison was having a slumber party with her grandparents so no pictures of her this time BUT we did sneak some of her toys for Austin's pictures...he loves the teddy bears (okay I love the teddy bears with him...whatever). Enjoy the 3 month pictures!

Big Girl

So I took the last 2 year old pictures of Madison last weekend...7 days later she turned 3! (Pictures of that soon!) It is amazing how old she looks...I love that I have had the chance to watch her grow up...she is such a beautiful little big girl!

She looks WAY too big in this picture so I pulled out my daisy headband for her...

Okay still a big girl but at that is better! lol

She was channeling her inner "Hollywood" (that's what she calls our friend Holly whom she apparently adores...as we all do) :)

I love this one!!! Such a precious girl



Austin 2 Months

So Austin has been having a hard month...he was sick a lot and one of my visits with him was at the doctor's office :( not cool...but he is doing MUCH better now and I was able to snap some super cute 2 month shots of him on his official 2 month birthday!

He fell asleep before we got to try his new hat on him...have you ever seen a cuter little dwarf?

apparently though he was not a huge fan! :)



Madison Valentine Cutie

So last month when I did Austin's one month pictures I tried to do some valentine's pictures of big sister Madison as well. I gotta tell you she is NOT in the picture taking phase of her life! At least not for Aunt Karla. But she is gorgeous and cute and I did bribe her with a HUGE heart shaped lollipop so...I still came out with some great ones! Enjoy



One Month Already!!!

So the nice thing about a close friend having a baby is that you all will get at least one post a month of his growing up even if I am not doing any other photography! I cannot believe Austin is already one month old! I was able to go do pictures and hold him A LOT the other day and he is just an amazing child...hope you all enjoy the pictures

Introducing Austin!!!

So everyone who knows me knows I LOVE babies! But this one is super special. First off his mom is my high school friend/college roommate! And his big sister is my all star model Miss Madison. But also I was privileged to get to stay with them for his first full week and home and help mom take care of him. His daddy works nights and since mom had a c-section and was not supposed to be lifting much of anything..."aunt Karla" stepped in. Talk about bonding with a baby! I miss this little one so much! My plan when I went was to take all kinds of cute pictures of him....ummm yeah so taking care of a newborn AND a 2 year old doesn't really leave that much free 'play' time! But the last night I was there we did get in a photo-shoot of sorts and here are my favorites of the cutest little newborn this year!

His room is done in 'sports' so I just had to steal this super cute idea from Brooke Kelly my favorite photographer! :)

Big sister was not to interested in pictures of herself with or without baby brother but I did sneak this one and I love it!

Yeah I am totally in love with him!!! Many more pictures will follow this year I am sure...
