I love little babies! This handsome guy was a dream to photograph.

Remember the sweet maternity I shared recently? ( here ) Well, her beautiful 10 lb baby came into this world and I was lucky enough to head back down to them his very first portrait session.

I just loved snuggling with him! He is also very lucky to have such a loving, attentive big sister, too. She was my special assistant, and when little brother took a nursing break, big sister and I read a few books together. There is not much in the world sweeter than a toddler running up to you and plopping in your lap with a book in hand.

Miss M was an amazing model for me yesterday! She is so sweet and cuddly.

She was an absolute dream to photograph, as long as she was in the spotlight. She didn’t care much for sharing the limelight with mom! In the end, I think we wore her out and I hope she slept well that day.

I’m telling you, I have the best job in the world. I love being around beautiful babies!

I know. It’s not Friday. >_>

Better late than never?

Kaylee’s new favorite thing to do is make faces. If you ask her to make a funny face, she purses her lips and then tries to stick them out as far as she can. This cracks her up Every.Time!

This is her other funny face:

Real cute, Kaylee. LOL.

As you can see, I had to resort to photographing her while she was eating because it’s the only time she’s restrained enough that she can’t get away when I take out the camera. My daughter has an extreme case of PCS– Photographer’s Child Syndrome. At 18 months, she knows what that camera means, she’s seen it enough, and she is So. Over. It.

This is what I usually get when I try to photograph her:

Yeah. That would be my daughter. Sticking her butt out at me. Thanks. Love you, too.

The best part is, she’ll slyly turn around and giggle when she’s heard me put the camera down. She’s definitely her father’s girl.

I wouldn’t have it any other way. ^_^

I know I should be posting more from Janie and Jack, but I am taking a little break to share this beautiful little baby with you. I met her this weekend and she is simply GORGEOUS!

I am in love with the antique doll bed and now I want one for myself!

This little guy was so beautiful! We got him to sleep for a little bit, but he wasn’t too fond of being on his belly.

I could look at that precious face all day.

He just loved kicking his legs in the basket!

I love the furrowed brow.

He really wanted to be on his side, even sound asleep he squirmed until he was off his belly.

Thank you so much for having me over! Your little one is so beautiful.

This little one was so precious. He also really made me work today! I didn’t mind at all, though… how could I? Look at that sweet little face! It took some brainstorming between me and Mom but I think we were able to make it work.

He loved snuggling in the cocoon. Can’t say I blame him… if I had one my size I’d spend all day in it.

Thank you so much for having me in your home today. I really enjoyed your beautiful baby.

Do you remember the portraits of the big, beautiful family? Baby #7 was born recently and I had the pleasure of taking her first portraits. Isn’t she gorgeous?

Remember Terry? (the beautiful pregnant lady in a previous post) Well, her son finally arrived and I had the joy of photographing him at 2 weeks old! He is beautiful, isn’t he?
