Oh baby

This sweet girl reminded me so much of my baby. They are only a few months apart, have the same fascination with grass and leaves, and even have the same dress! Her cute parents were the nicest people ever. I hope you enjoy this preview, Holly!

For Kacey

I love photographing 2-year-olds; I can take pictures and exercise all at the same time! What a cutie, though. Gotta love the blue eyes in this family.

Sweet and sweeter

Oh my cuteness. We only had 20 minutes for this session because we were at a nursery and they were about to close. But with kids, you only get about 20 minutes before they start to get cranky anyway, so I shot fast and I think we succeeded. This little girl was such a doll and her facial expressions were to die for. The world would be a better place if we could all get in touch with our inner 2-year-old every once in a while.

There is a special spot in my heart for baby rolls and toothless grins.

These last few sessions have reminded me why I love photography. It gives me the opportunity to take something that is already so beautiful and attempt to capture it in a small way for the ages.

Raleigh and Jett

These guys are friends of mine (or rather, friends of my son's). But we'll call them my friends, too. At least, I hope they were still my friends by the end of the shoot. There's actually a third guy in this bunch, but he was too little to come play today. If he grows up to be half as handsome and cool as his older brothers, he'll be in good shape.

P.S. I'm playing around with some different logos, so let me know if you see one you like.

My rascals

These two belong to me. I wanted to take some wall-worthy pictures of them and this is what I came up with. I love their sparkly eyes.

A real blog!

My brother is playing around with a real website for me (none of this weblog business) so I've decided to convert this to a bona fide blog with regular posts for each photo shoot. Until my website is up and running, this will still be my only online presence so I'll keep contact info and other information in my archives.

Beautiful baby

This precious baby is just three weeks old. She didn't want to sleep for us, but she did remain calm and happy while we prodded and poked her. I love the expression on newborn babies. It is though they have the wisdom of the ages trapped inside their tiny little bodies.

Isaac (and his parents)

My friend Rebecca from college came to see me with her husband and beautiful baby boy, Isaac. Though we were nearly inseparable during our university days, it has been almost a year since I've seen her. I was so excited to meet her baby, and even more excited to take his pictures! Here are some previews of the handsome fella (and the proud parents).
