Yesterday morning sweet little Kinsley and her parents came over for her 9 month session, but it wasn’t quite what any of us had thought it might be. Poor little girl is fighting a cold (and poor mom and dad…so hard on them as well) and didn’t have the smiles or energy they had hoped for. There were some tears and some snuggling with mom, but we did get some photos…and although no smiles, there were some cute expressions and her outfits (for Valentine’s) were adorable. Since dad could come along they wanted some of Kinsley and her daddy, so we were able to do that…and some of her alone and a few of the three of them. Despite her not being herself, she is still very sweet and her beautiful brown eyes are as pretty as ever. So, for now, the photos, but I know that when it’s time for her one year session…she’ll be feeling good and we’ll have a great time playing and photographing…and I’ll be looking forward to that!!
Special time with her daddy…that is something to be cherished and will definitely create some special memories for both of them in the years ahead!
The blocks were a big hit and I don’t think I could have gotten this block in “mid air” if I had tried! It was quite cute…Kinsley wanted every block off the posts…she was certainly very determined!
What a wonderful family…it’s obvious that Kinsley is adored and worshipped by her parents…what a very lucky little girl…she’s truly blessed!
There’s nothing better than snuggling on mom’s shoulder…Kinsley was tired and ready to wrap up her session for the day…for not feeling 100%, she did quite well. I look forward to seeing her when she turns “ONE!”
It was my pleasure and privilege to see and photograph Brylee last weekend! I first photographed her just about a year ago…when she was only 8 days old…it’s hard to believe she’s a year now and has grown so much! A little peanut at birth, she is now a very happy, sweet and beautiful baby…and has the best disposition! She was smiling when they walked in the door and she was still smiling when they left…it doesn’t get much better than that!! 🙂 When I first met Brylee and her parents last year, I instantly knew that this was a special family and so kind and thoughtful…and as I’ve watched Brylee through the sessions this past year, it is obvious that this is one GREAT family and they all LOVE their life. What a blessing they are to one another…and I’m thankful to have met and gotten to know them…and look forward to watching them all grow in the years ahead, as Brylee grows as well! Now, on to some photos of this cutie!Â
This chair is in it’s third generation and what is more special than something to carry on through the years…and believe me, it’s well made and is really nice…but I’ll tell you, Brylee can really ROCK this…she is definitely not one to be still for long!
 Talk about beautiful eyes, the blue and sparkle just seemed to shine through…during the entire session…and in case dad doesn’t know it, he’s going to have his hands full when she gets to be a teenager…I can tell she will be a true beauty…inside and out, like her mother!
cupCake smash…this little, dainty girl, was not so dainty with the cupcake and boy, did she ever have a good time making a big mess and it was SO much fun to watch…she definitely gets the award for the little one whose done the best job of playing/destroying/eating her cupcake…it was GREAT!!!!!!! Â
Have you ever met a family and felt like they were meant to be…that it just seemed like their life was destiny? This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting a beautiful baby, Indy (love that name!!) and her parents, Katie and Jason and that is just how I felt about this family!  What a treat it was to spend some time with them and to be able to capture some special memories for them! Baby Indy is three months old and it didn’t take very long to become charmed by this cutie and know that I would enjoy my time with her. Along with her parents, she has two “sisters” who are the four-legged kind…and what great dogs they are…both very gentle and calm and so good with Indy…it was fun to watch how they were with her…every once in a while, they would try to steal a kiss, but mostly they were just happy to be close to her! At the end of the session, they both curled up on the (soft and fuzzy) blanket that Indy had been lying on…I don’t blame them…I wouldn’t mind curling up on it myself for a nap…and of course, we couldn’t resist putting Indy back down on it, in the middle of her big sisters…it was so cute!!
I must admit that I had two great assistants this morning…my hubby and my daughter, who works with Katie…and boy, did I enjoy their help…what a treat…I’m wondering what it would take to get both of them for all of my sessions…thank you Rick and Jess!! So here’s a peek at the session on this cold Sunday morning…
Isn’t this a great looking family…and the two dogs, Lily and Roxy, are perfect bookends for this picture…they were so good…to have two dogs and a baby…all looking the same direction…very rare!
