Simply Adorable

6 months is probably one of my most favorite ages to capture.  They typically have such a cute little personality!  This little man was no different.  He was ALL smiles!

Even though he is a Packers fan he was too adorable to hold that against him!

His Daddy used to be in a local band.  He can play the guitar so well!  I wanted him to keep playing while we finished up the Session.  He was pretty awesome!

I so adore how he's looking up at his Daddy!!

Maybe if I start using the new Spring backdrops the weather will break for good?!

It's worth a try, right?!

Aidan is 3 months

Remember the newborn about 3 months ago with the beautiful eyelashes and hair!?  He's already 3 months old!  I can't believe it.  

I think it's safe to say that his Mommy and Daddy are pretty smitten over him.

Miss Lennox

 Little (and I mean that literally) came to play today.  She's such an adorable little peanut!

Her Mommy always brings fancy clothes and hair bows!!

Since it's Valentine's 'Week', we had to sneak in a little Valentine shot!

Same chair, same baby...they grow and change so much in 3 short months!!

I.Am.One

This little man came to see me for his FIRST birthday photos!  He was so cute!  He has 4 older sisters, so is the first boy.

He really wasn't too sure of his cake!

Six Months? No way!

This pretty little lady is also in my Sweet Baby Collection.  She's had this beautiful hair since birth!  Isn't she just gorgeous!?

Calvin is 9 months

Calvin is in my Baby Collection so I have the pleasure of watching him grow!  I just love to see the changes in looks and personalities every 3 months!

I'm so happy his Mommy wanted some photos of the 2 of them!

If you need a superior cut and color, go see Megan at Who Does Your Hair?

They're pretty awesome there!

Farming Kiddos

Isn't she just so cute!?  I photographed her a couple of years ago, and my has she grown up!  Their Daddy is a farmer so we had just the perfect props for the session!

This little guy was all smiles!  

Absolutely adorable!

A Diva

They call her a diva...

Miss Adileigh is turning 9 so she and her Mom and Grandma made the 2+ hour trip up for a session.  She was so fun to work with.  Then at the very end of the session I could tell she wanted one more picture.  She sweetly asked if she could have a picture with her Grandma! 

Welcome to Mr. Reid Allen

Little man Reid, Big Sister Aubrey, Mommy and Grandma came to the Studio today for Reid's newborn photos.  He's so lucky to have such a sweet big sister!  His Mommy brought lots of props and clothes, we had so much fun!

Mama of 3 Beautiful Girls

This family traveled from Decatur for a photo session.  They drove up for the Santa Sessions and decided to make another trip for this little Miss' 6 month session.  She wore this adorable monkey hat in and I knew we had to incorporate it into at least one photo!!  I'm always so happy when the Mama will be in at least one photo.  We tend to always be the ones snapping the pictures and sometimes forget to include ourselves!

This is why I will be having some Mommy and Me Sessions in the Spring!  I can't wait to capture all the Mommy's with this little ones!

Hello Mr. Beautiful

This little man was visiting his Grandma in Illinois.  He's from Virginia and is the sleepiest little 3 month old.  He was born a little early and when Grandma called and really wanted to get him in for a 3 month session, I wasn't expecting to get this!  He was so sleepy so we took it and ran with it.  I posed and treated him just like a new baby.  I finally had to make myself stop because I could have snuggled and photographed him all day.  He is just the sweetest little man.  I can't wait until he comes back this Fall!

Mr. Colton is 8

This big guy is our neighbor!  I've been photographing him for several years now.  He's turning 8!!  How this is possible...I'm really not sure!?  His Mama let him pick out his outfit and props.  He wanted a big sports picture for his bedroom.  He always gets into the session and comes up with poses and different ideas.  He's such a joy to work with!

Happy Birthday Buddy!

Leap Year Baby

Mr. Garrett is a leap year baby!  He's such a handsome dude.  I just love his big chocolate brown eyes!  His Mama let him pick his attire.  He loves to dress up in collared button down shirts. It's the cutest thing.  He got the bow tie for Christmas and wanted it included in the shoot.  Happy Birthday Mr. Garrett.  We can't wait to celebrate with you!

It's a Baby Weekend!

This weekend we had a Studio full of very important milestone sessions!  Mr. Liam is 6 months!  He's apart of our milestone collection.  He's so happy all the time.  It's never hard to get the cutest smile from him!  Little Michael is such a happy baby too!  His Daddy drives big John Deere tractors and he came dressed in his John Deere clothing, adorable!  Little Sadie Bug was up bright and early to make the 2 1/2 hour trip up to see us.  Her Mommy had a fun idea to take the same photo with her brother that we did at her newborn session.  They are so cute!

Grandma Sarah brought her 2 daughters and 8 out of 13 (I think) grandkiddos with her!  They are so fun to see!  They were up bright and early as they live about 2 1/2 hours away!  Sarah is a retired photographer!  She enjoys keeping up with her grandkids now and letting me capture their sweet faces!  She bought these adorable outfits for the girls and wanted them photographed in them!  They are all so sweet!  I know it takes a lot of effort to get 1, 2 or 3 kids ready and to the Studio when you live nearby.  I can't imagine all 8 and traveling early in the morning with them all!  They are amazing and had it all together upon arrival!  I truly appreciate your efforts!

New Beginnings

2013, Bring it!!  So excited to see what is in store for 2013!  Here is another attempt in keeping this blog updated!  You have to start somewhere, right?

My first session of 2013 took place on January 2nd.  She was a tiny and perfect little bundle of love, that didn't want to miss a thing!  She remained awake for the majority of the session.  :)

She does, have the best name...same as our new baby, Finley Jean!
