I am positive this little cutie was asking himself “what on earth is this green stuff”. I enjoy watching babies when they are trying out something new.




You see “J” we got a few smiles….more to come soon… TTFN -R

Just had to quickly share this little angel, so small and so sweet . I am usually not a fan of headbands for babies, but mom had the cutest headbands e-v-e-r!!! I can tell mom truly enjoys having so many girls, this little sweetie makes “3″, so that is lots of dresses, shoes, etc. you get the idea…having two girls myself, I know how much fun it is to pretty up our girls!
And I am kicking myself for not taking pictures of the beautiful doll collection mom had…they were beautiful!




Oh those little lips are divine!!! She was truly a little flower

So I promised myself I would not complain about the recent cold cool front {brrrr}, afterall how could I complain I ”was” born and raised in the “Big Apple”. So lots to do and lots to get caught up on, and I promised myself that I would try my best to blog more frequently, so here I am.
I have been meaning to share some Easter pictures of my little gems, but have not had a chance to get to that just yet, this is exactly why I tell all my clients to make sure to print their own digital pictures right away, once they are stored onto a computer it is easily forgotten. Okay maybe it is just me, and yes I am a bit more picky about my own personal pictures, but I have gotten better. I have even started replacing all of my albums, my children have enjoyed looking through all of their baby pictures, as have I.
So one quick photo share of my big little guy. What do you do when your three year old somehow gets a hold of one of daddy’s golf clubs and is swinging it indoors? {light bulb moment} You grab your camera and take him outside so he can show you what he is made of…not too shabby if I do say so myself. I just may have to take this kid to the pros…now where can I find mini golf clubs, LOL!!!

He made me so proud…. TTFN -R
Shhhhh, let’s not tell grandma what we did with her little sweetie. Nah, it wasn’t that bad, promise! I was so thrilled to see this little guy again and his *wonderful* mom, of course. I always enjoy chatting with you “L”. Just a few months shy of his first birthday and already he had plenty to say, somehow I get the feeling he was trying to tell us just how he felt about this whole photography session ordeal, LOL.



Makes ya just want to squeeze those yummy cheeks, too cute!!! TTFN ~R
Just about the most flexible baby I have yet to meet, this little piece of heaven was just a pleasure to work with. He only had one requirement…a full belly, and after a good feeding he was ready for a good nap.

I just about died when mom brought out the most perfect knitted hats made by “Grandma”. You know how I feel about knits… {drool}


There was also another angel in the house, big sis! Lovin those curls!

Becoming a toddler, what a fun stage, not that I can recall my own toddler days but having experienced it with my own three gems I think it is just a great time of wonderment!!
Little “a” here is making her mark in toddlerville for sure, she is so girly and so spontaneous, and she had the cutest little dance jiggle I have ever seen. We laughed so much during the session, she was just so silly it was a pleasure to watch her in action.


Told ya she was silly, LOVE IT!



I was uber impressed with all the photography adorning their home, you can see some in the first image above, can someone say “drool”. Of course I asked where they purchased such beautiful pieces, “uh, nowhere”, they are personal pictures, WOW! Mom and dad being artist themselves have a spectacular eye for photography. Congrats!!

So what do you do when the newborn you are about to photograph refuses to sleep? You wait patiently of course, how ever long it takes. You just can’t rush these little people, besides why would I want to rush, I love being around babies. Speaking of babies, I received a “very” tempting request the other day, unfortunately I had to say no for now, I just finished potty training my last baby, I am sure you can guess what the request was for? Besides, we took a vote and the kids said “no way”, well okay my 3 year old said yes, but he’ll say yes to anything if it sounds good, LOL.
Now back to this little guy, I know I have a few anxious parents waiting to see a little sneak peek, so here it is. Awww, he is as sweet as he looks, so small and gentle, but “all” boy!!!






Every time I post images done with the black backdrop I get asked if I did them at a studio and if I used studio lights, I use natural light 99.9% of the time, it is too beautiful, how could I let it go to waste?
