DYLAN IS ONE!

Dylan is another "graduate" of the "Grow with Me" photography plan.  I just love getting to know the families and seeing the kiddos grow and mature.  My all time favorite shot of Dylan would have to be this one:

 This image really pushed my editing skills as this was 3 different images put into one final image.  Safety is always the MOST important thing when photographing babies!!  Little Dylan was NEVER suspended from the tree branch and in fact, the tree branch was not even there the day they arrived.  I had taken the tree branch shot the week before!

Dylan was always so cooperative during all his sessions over the year, and now that he turned one, he decided to give us all a little workout!  True to the one-year old nature, he was not happy to sit and have his picture taken!  He wanted to roam and play!!  I am glad his parents were realistic about what we were going to be able to photograph, but really, I think it all turned out wonderfully.  His cake smash was a lot of fun, although he was not really excited about getting the frosting on his fingers :-).

Rosalind is ONE!!!

Okay, I am probably the worst blogger EVER!  I keep up so well with Facebook and with my website, yet I tend to let this blog fall behind.  Task of the week is to bring me up to speed on all the sessions I've had recently.  February and March were slow months for me because I had surgery and was not able to work.  Rosalind was my first session after I was able to work again.  I've had the privilege of photographing this sweet little girl for the past year.  I love seeing the newborns turn into these full of life one year olds!!  It does not seem possible this was a year ago!

But here she is at one........Rosalind!

HALEY

Welcome to the world, Haley!!  How precious she is!!  Haley is my great niece.  The purple tutu outfit was purchased last fall when Haley's grandma and I went to a craft show.  It fits her perfectly!

STETSON

I love babies, but I especially love 6-9 month old babies!  It's always been my favorite time of that first incredible year.  Stetson, who happens to be my great nephew, is 9 months old.  He did awesome for his session and was so cooperative! 

LITTLE PUMPKINS

I just love the little pumpkin sessions.  When I do the children's sessions, there are always "timeless" images done also.  By timeless, I mean images that do not have a holiday or seasonal theme.  I enjoy putting up images of my children taken around a certain holiday or season, but when the next season comes along, they seem "outdated", so I put up a more general image of them on my wall.  However, I think these little pumpkin sessions are absolutely adorable!

Rosalind - 6 months

Emma and Weston - ages 5 and 3

LIAM IS ONE!

Liam is my first "Baby's First Year Plan" graduate!  It's so great to get to see these babies and how much they change that very important first year!    Liam has been great to photograph each and every session too!  Here are some of my favorites from his one year session.

 

CUTIES PIES - Liam

Look how this little guy has grown!  Liam first came to my studio at 3 months:

Then he visited again at 6 months:

 
Now, he is 9 months old and as cute as ever!

He's got one more session this year.  He is just an adorable little guy and I've enjoyed being able to capture some sweet moments during his first year!

 

 

BABY SESSIONS - Dylan

Dylan is 5 days old here.  He is my newest "Grow with Me" club member, so we will be seeing him again at 6 months old.  He did awesome for his session and was very cooperative :-).

 This composite was done in PSE and this child was in no way suspended from a thin branch!!
I can't wait to see him again in 6 months!!  What a sweetie!

CUTIE PIES- Ella

These images speak for themselves. . . .  cute, adorable, sweet, fun!
I had such fun taking and editing these.  This child was just so happy the entire session!  I love my job!!!
