All Boy

I've been photographing Hayden since he was six months old, and now he's two and constantly on the move. Somehow he manages to raise the cuteness factor every time I see him. I love to watch him grow. Here are a few from our session last month.

I hope to post more family and holiday sessions soon. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

My Love

She started Kindergarten earlier this month and is already on her way to being a "big" girl. And though every parent feels this way about his or her child, I just have to say what an honor it is to know her. She is loving, generous, and plain old fun to be around. These were taken in August during the last bit of summer, which started late around here. But at least it came.

I am hoping to post more sessions from the summer and can't believe that fall is here -- catching up is clearly not my strong suit at the moment!

X-Man Turns Two

Blog world, I'm not sure where the summer went, but I am still here. A very special little boy turns two this week, so I had to give him a shout-out. Xavier is so funny and sweet, and I think one of the smartest kids on the block. A little balloon action to start...

Okay, crazy story about the balloons. About two minutes after they were tied to his jeans, they came undone -- the balloons, not his jeans. They floated up into the trees beyond reach. I kid you not, here are the pictures to prove it.

And here is where the story gets crazier. Dad, determined to get them back, goes to his car to get an UMBRELLA to attempt to hook the strings by throwing it up into the trees. I wish I had captured him doing that, but I had zero faith (like, are you off your rocker? There's no way in H-E-double hockey sticks you are going to get those down). We couldn't believe our eyes. It freckin' worked. Two of them popped, but he did it!

Quick change of clothes...

Happy birthday, dearest X! Thanks to you and your super parents, always.

Summertime

Summer is finally showing some signs of sticking around after a crazy drizzly Spring. It also means I've been home with the kiddos with little time to blog. I hope to catch up later this month... I've met some wonderful families. In the meantime, here are a few of my own when the sun came out. Happy Fourth!

More Family Love

I've been on a bit of a little boy streak lately and loving every moment, I must say. This is Xander, who hit his six-month mark not long ago, along with his doting parents. What I loved about this session was the adoring interaction between them, knowing that this is how they must be when nobody else is around. Not even the photographer. Into the moment, into their lives.


His piercing baby blues:




Quite possibly a favorite!

Another beautiful family, making my job seem easy at times. Thanks for looking!
