mmmmm....

Can't you just smell it? That sweet newborn smell? This is Ford. He's actually a California baby, but he took some time out of his busy vacationing schedule for a photo shoot. He was the perfect little model.

a little present just for me!

A blog post for this little guy is long overdue. I met him and his super sweet family two weeks ago. He was just a photographers dream. Just think of it, a two year old who LOVES having his picture taken AND does whatever you ask him to do. This combination is very few and far between. And when I say he loves having his picture taken, I mean it. Every time he heard the shutter click, he'd jump up, run to mom and dad to tell them he JUST HAD HIS PICTURE TAKEN! Then he would run back and sit down right where I had him. After a very busy start to June, he was a little present sent just for me!




Here is the 2 1/2 year old James Dean....


His very lucky brother or sister whom I can't wait to meet!

for all the daddies

Happy Father's Day!

I wish I could showcase all of the wonderful fathers I have had the pleasure of working with, but here are a few from the last couple of months. Enjoy your day, Dads!







And an extra special dad...Mine!

A fun change of pace

I did my first engagement session this weekend. I definitely felt like a fish out of water, what with no wiping drool off their chins or taking time for a diaper change break, but we had lots of fun all the same!

there's just no way around it

You can't meet this little six month old cutie and NOT mention her hair! As a mom of kids who were bald until they were 2 years old, it's so fun to me to see a baby with tons of hair. I'm sure her parents wish they had a nickel for every time they get a comment (she'd have a nice Ivy League College fund by now, I'm sure!). But aside from the massive amounts of beautiful chestnut hair, she was so cheerful and curious. We had a great time!

awwwwww

Really, what else could you say about little River? I met River today and he was just a little angel. And let me tell ya, that's not always true of a six week old. Six weeks is a hard age for photographers because they don't like to sleep as much a brand new baby, but they can't yet sit up or interact as much as a baby who is a few months old.

But River was perfect; he was awake a little, slept a little, and of course had to sprinkle every room of the house in honor of bein' nekkid. But his mommy and daddy were totally relaxed and easy-going which is I'm sure where River gets his angelic disposition. Although they did tell me that he wasn't so much of an angel before I arrived. But he was perfect for his session and that's all that counts, right?
