Monkeys are the best!

I love babies this age! They are so curious and interested in everything going on. Baby M gave me "the eye" until he decided I was safe and even fun! One of his favorite things was this great monkey puppet which he fed his blocks to and happily lavished kisses on. Great to meet you all. Thanks for having me over!

Best Brothers!

I loved meeting these guys and seeing how they weren't just brothers, but best buddies. Gives me a glimpse as to what my little boys (2 & 4) will be like in a few years time. Great to meet you all!

Dad= entertainer of the day

Spent last Saturday morning with this great family climbing trees, climbing Dad and having fun in the backyard. Great smiles and big personalities! Wonderful to meet you all!

In the greatest climbing tree! 

Flying! 

Look Dad no hands!

This is my favorite from the whole shoot. Not your typical family pic, but so typical of life with little ones.

Love how her shoes match the potted marigolds.

Bloopers!

So I've decided now to include my favorite bloopers at the end of each shoot, if there are any. I just finished editing up this adorable 1 year old and had to share these 2. So while these may not be some of my favorites to blog about, they are too funny or cute not to share.

6 months!

I've photographed this cutie when he was just 3 days old, then 3 months, now a smiley 6 month old! I think I'll save the side by side comparisons until his 1 year pics. Boy is he growing up fast along with his handsome big brothers.

Love that front curl!

Staring intently at mom but his foot is the best part!

I love the tilt of baby J's head and his hand on his brothers back.

Pig pile of feet!

Two bundles of energy!

Oh to have this kind of energy!! These two cuties were non-stop action and chit-chatting! I can't believe I actually caught them being still! :)  We ended up being confined to the deck due to a wet backyard but had lots of fun being silly. Wonderful to meet you! More to come...

Adorable ringlets....

and amazing eyelashes! 

Handsome big brother!

I love this one. I think its hilarious! 

Beating the weather odds

I met this lovely family of 4 and their 2 pooches for some family portraits before these sisters head back to college. We dodged multiple rain cells, major humidity, and busy schedules to get this session in and mission accomplished! I had to get a bunch of their sweet old dog Buddy who although long in years, was young at heart. Great to meet you all. Have a great year at college! Extra hugs to Buddy!

One year old!

Met this beautiful family at the playground for Baby B's one year birthday pics. He was so curious and taking in all the distractions (airplanes, soccer players, big kids playing), that I barely got any smiles out of him despite a great effort by his parents. BUT when he did smile, it was with flailing arms and excited noises....perfect one year oldness!! Here are a few highlights of our afternoon.

Love those little curls out the back!

Learning some new soccer skills from afar.

His whole body is involved in this big smile!

Great to meet you all! Happy Birthday B!
