Beautiful Girls, Wonderful Products

I have the pleasure of working with a couple of talented gals who are not only moms (a tough job in itself), but also running a home business between the two of them…and this is called Kiwi and Kiki (http://www.kiwiandkiki.com/). Kerry and Kristin are sisters and have some really fun products and it’s obvious they are quite talented. We sort of “met” last summer when I purchased a couple of items from them, one being a great tutu that I have used a few times with my little girls! These gals remembered me when I returned to look at more of their creations and I told them I’d share some photos…and from that…a working relationship evolved! We’ve used their adorable daughters the past couple of sessions and I must say, they are AWESOME models and so much fun. Here are a few examples of what we got last week…be sure to go check out their website…and I promise you, you’ll love their stuff!

Beautiful little Lily turned FOUR the day after this session…she’s going to break hearts when she gets older!!
Lily is Abby’s big sister…and she’s very caring and attentive.
Maddie…oh, my she’s such a sweet heart and those eyes, WOW…she’s definitely a charmer!
And this is Abby…or is it Abner…I’ll never tell!! :~)

Beautiful blessing…

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of meeting baby Brylee who was just 9 days old! At just 6 pounds at birth and a tad under that now, she is little bitty…and ever so sweet! And, the hair she has…I’m sure that while in the nursery at the hospital, many other babies were quite envious…hair bows and clips will adorn her head much sooner than most newborns, I’m sure! During the session at Brylee and her parents home, we had the heat turned up so she wouldn’t get too cold during the “naked” shots. And, she amazed me and was awake for the entire session…now how often does a newborn stay awake for nearly 1 1/2 hours…although I must say her parents were thrilled and hoping this would mean she’d sleep more at night when so far had seemed to be her best awake hours!   It was a delight to meet Brylee, her mom, dad and big brother (the four-legged kind!) – thank you for a great afternoon! Here are a few previews of the session to hold her parents over until the gallery is ready!

Yet another CUTE one year old!

Boy, am I blessed, or what…two one year old girls in two days…it doesn’t get much better. Not that I don’t like boys, I love the boys as well, but it’s been so much fun with the girls the past two days…and what cuties they both are!

This morning I photographed Erica for her one year photos (she’s a little over a year) and have been waiting for her to turn one since she was born…I was fortunate to be able to do her mom’s maternity photos, then some newborn ones and a few here and there, throughout the past year…and now, this little one is getting bigger and a year old…it hardly seems possible! Erica brought her mom and big sister, Alanna, with her and we started out with some photos of Erica and Alanna before we lost Alanna to playing with my granddaughter (Jayden) since they so enjoy each others company when they are together. After that, the spotlight was on Erica and she was great…I absolutely love her adorable little faces she makes, it’s so darn cute and I confess, I’m even including a photo of her crying because I just love the expression…but she really didn’t cry much, just when we stopped her from what SHE wanted to do. One year olds are great…so cute, sweet and yet beginning to develop their own “independence” and mind of their own…what a wonderful transformation from baby to toddler…I’m truly blessed to be able to photograph these little ones! Enjoy the photos!!!







Okay, so this is the last blog of my sessions for a while…I’m headed out of town in a few days and off for a fun vacation with family over Christmas (more on that later)…I might update before the holidays, but if not, I want to wish everyone of you an wonderful Christmas that is filled with love and joy and time with those you love…because that is really what it’s all about, isn’t it!
