Let me tell you, this sweet little girl was PURE delight the day I had the pleasure of photographing her. Ryley will turn one next month (and she’s walking…quite well, at that!) and so we had her session a bit early so they’d have the photos (and a book) for her party. It’s been almost two years since I first met her parents and her big brother, Roman, when I did his one year photos…and it was so nice to see them again and with their newest family member. Mom and dad are such nice and kind people and so fun and easy to work with…not to mention very creative (okay, that’s probably more mom than dad!!)…with the outfits and props…I LOVED everything they had for Ryley’s session. It seemed as everything fell into place…we actually shot twice during one day…morning at their home to give Ryley a chance to warm up to me…and the camera and then again in the afternoon (location shots), after nap and lunch…and it worked out beautifully…both the schedule and weather, we couldn’t have had it any better if we tried! So…without further ado…here is Ryley……………………………….
Roman is such a great big brother…and it was fun to see how he’d grown into a cute and energetic toddler…he was a lot of fun (and energy!!) 🙂
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this sweet tutu and the strawberries…and you know it was a tad cool outside, but Ryley was quite content!!
Just hanging with her bike on the deck…
Ryley’s parents said that she loves being outside (along with Roman) and so we spent a lot of time out there in the morning!
Such a cute tutu and “ONE” shirt…just perfect for the cake smash!!
A kiss from big brother…he’s so sweet and kind with Ryley…wonder if he’ll feel like kissing her in front of the camera when he’s 16??!!
Such beautiful and enticing eyes…I just adore them and the twinkle they have just show her wonderful spirit!
Daddy and Ryley…you can see she really loves her daddy…she just cuddled right up next to him…so sweet!
A tender moment with mom and Ryley…both so beautiful…I could photograph them every day and continue to find new beauty in each of them…
With Ryley walking it gave us a bit more options and this railroad track was perfect and the softness with the beautiful light just brought out her beauty! And, this sweet scrunched up face…I love how the nose wrinkles up…and it’s almost like she’s winking…she was FUN!!!
Is this not a beautiful and sweet face….one that you just can’t get enough of!!
One of my favorites (though there were MANY) from the day…when Roman turned one, he used this as well…and how much fun to see another sweet “R” to add to the family!!
This was a wonderful day with this family…I really enjoyed all of them and am thankful we had such great weather! Of course, without the expert help of my assistant (my husband!!), it would have been a bit more work and who would have entertained Ryley so well while I was photographing her…he’s so helpful and great with the kids (big and little!)…thanks, dear!!
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!!
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!
What can I say, these photos speak for themselves! You’ve seen these little girls before, three of them below to the owners of “Kiwi and Kiki” and they are modeling some of their great new items they have for sale! Of course, the pettiskirts…they are the star of this shoot…so darn cute and I can’t imagine any little (or big!) girl that wouldn’t want one of these! The three red ones were for Christmas for their girls and the purple one…well, I am happy to say that it’s mine…and I have it here for any little ones that would like to wear it during a shoot! How cute would a newborn or a 6 month old, just sitting up, be surrounded by the beautiful ruffles of lavendar! My granddaughter was the model this day for the skirt and I have a feeling she will be asking to wear it again when she’s over…and who can blame her, how fun is it!
There are also some adorable and fun headbands, bows and flowers for your little darlings for Valentine’s and spring…you’ve got to see 
LOVE, this photo…her expression is so beautiful…and those eyes…wow!
As I said, my granddaughter (in the purple) was one of the models and she and the other girl in this photo became fast friends…they were having a great time, laughing, being silly and just enjoying being girls…love how kids can make friends so easily!!!
Our youngest little model and wouldn’t you know, she lasted longer than the other three, who headed off to play…this sweetie was great and we had a ton of fun with her…she’s so cute!!!!
