This beautiful little girl is now 6 months old and has the best smiles! It’s really hard to meet these sweet babies as newborns and then have to wait for 6 months to see them again, but it’s always worth the wait! Elliana was a little shy, but it didn’t take long before she was giving me all sorts of precious smiles and batting those baby blue eyes and winning me over! And, lucky me, she brought her parents and big brother, Jackson with her…what fun to get to hang out with this family again and hear how they are adjusting and growing as a family of four! Both Elliana and Jackson and happy and healthy little ones and it’s obvious they are showered with love from their parents! Jackson, who turned two in November wasn’t so sure about the camera, but I managed to get a few smiles out of him…but let me tell you, he’s a handsome little guy and the outfit he was wearing was adorable!!! It’s going to be another long 6 months before I get to see this great family again…and I can’t wait…I know they will be just as fun when it’s time to celebrate Elliana’s first birthday!!
Sweet, sweet Kara turned 6 months old last month…look at this beautiful little one and those eyes that sparkle and shine! It’s a delight to follow “my babies” through their one year sessions and I’m always in awe of the changes and seeing how the little ones and their parents have grown and bonded. This wonderful family is so great…Abbie and Chris are relaxed and loving parents and it’s obvious they are totally in love with Kara!! Yes, their lives have changed in the past year, but they have embraced it and are growing and learning right along with Kara…and it’s truly a blessing to see such great families bringing little ones into this world who I know are going to grow into happy, healthy and thriving people. So, without further ado…here is sweet Kara (and an ADORABLE little ladybug at the end of the post!).
Sweet Carter was a great way to start out my Sunday this past weekend. It has been a year since this cutie was in the studio and I was so excited to have him back again and see how he’s grown! I’ve had the benefit of seeing him on Facebook some and occasionally as he walked by our home with his grandpa (grandparents live in our neighborhood)…but to have him to photograph was a true delight! When Carter entered the world, he came a bit early and had a short stay in the hospital, but oh, he’s all boy and 100% up to what a one year old should be doing…it’s a delight to see!! Of course, he brought along dad and mom…who he likes to keep close by…it’s refreshing to see this little guy loved oh so very much and thriving and growing…can’t wait to see him next time!!
Carter really likes the “Elephant Song” and as you can see, he knows just want to do with technology already at his age! 😉Whoo hoo…he sure liked being almost naked!!!
But he wasn’t sure about the cake…and was quite clean with his “cake smash!”Couldn’t resist taking the last one above…I know, he’s not happy or smiling, but the tears and crying is okay…it’s HIS party and he can cry if he wants to!! He had much more fun with his rings while sitting on mommy’s lap than the cake!!Abby and Ken…you have a very handsome little guy and it was a delight to see the two of you, but especially Carter….he was a lot of fun to hang out with during his session!!
