Blue eyed babe!!

This little cutie deserves a blog post all of his own!!  Gabe is the youngest of three sweet boys who have been coming to us since Sam (who is now almost 6!) was a newborn. But for this session, it was all about Gabe who had just turned 6 months old!! He has the same gorgeous smiles as his big brothers but has his own darling personality!! And look at those eyes!!  We love watching these boys grow big and can't wait to see what our next session holds in store!!

Holiday cheer!

I think this session truly got us into the holiday spirit!! When 6 month old John, his parents and their gorgeous dogs came in for this session it was still late October. However, when mom Kim pulled out one of dad's hats to put on Baby John, it was over the edge cute! This inspired Melissa to design a rockin' Christmas card for John's first Christmas! From beginning to end, this session was a blast! John was all smiles and giggles -especially with the addition of his dog siblings to the session at the end!! Nothing is better than a 6 month old laugh! We hope this darling family enjoys their first Christmas with Baby John!!

Mr Andrew turns 6 months!

6 months sessions are the BEST!!!! Baby Andrew turned 6 months old and came in with his brothers and sister for an awesome photo session! Mom always has the best ideas for their sessions so we loved having Andrew in a necktie and a diaper-how cute is this?!?! It was also special for us to update all the kids' portraits to be displayed in their kitchen-and add Andrew's to the wall collage! We can't wait to see what lies in store for Andrew's one year old session this summer - and a side note: these cuties have a brand new baby boy cousin born last week whom we photographed this past week at 8 days old. Super sweet-stay tuned for his images coming soon on the blog!

Two boys, a baby girl and a whole lot of fun!!

These three cuties are regulars on our blog over the years and we LOVE when they come visit us at the studio! Baby sister Eleanor is now 6 months old (yes, hard to believe-she is incredibly tall but then again, she has tall genes!!) and is the princess of the family. Big brothers Brennan and Davis love entertaining her and making her laugh! It was easy to see that Eleanor has daddy wrapped around her finger-precious! I am sure the holidays will be full of fun at their house-i can only imagine Christmas morning!

Sitting Pretty!

Baby Emerson (aka Emmy)came to us at the perfect age-6 months which may be one of our favorite ages/stages to photograph! And she couldn't have been more of a doll! Her expressions are priceless and we captured them all! It was hard for her parents to choose! Although they did decide on a collage for one of their walls which is going to look stunning! We can't wait to watch Emmy grow and see her sunny personality develop-what a superstar!

Olivia turns one!

Sweet Olivia! What a doll!! Maybe you remember her darling 6 month images sucking her thumb? Well, look at her now! All grown up and ready to go! Toddling around the studio liked she owned it! Older brother Zach joined in the fun, too! We can hardly believe how big they are both getting...we love photographing them. It is always such a pleasure and a treat for us! Can't wait to see them again soon!!

Happy 2010!

Happy New Year!! We are excited to be blogging our first entry in 2010! We have been back to work in the studio for the last week and 2010 has started with a bang! 2010 is going to be a fun year at the studio and we can't wait to share with you our plans...but first things first!! We had to start the year with images from a session we did before the holidays and we wanted to wait to unveil it as our first 2010 blog!

6 month old Lewis (you may remember his newborn session back in the spring?!) and his big brother, Franklin (who is somewhat of a rockstar on the blog!) came in for their first "brothers" session and it couldn't have been more sweet! Mom and Dad are adjusting very well to their household of boys and the heightened activity level that goes along with that!

Before we know it, spring will be here (when it is -15F, that seems hard to believe!!) and Lewis will be back for his year old session!!

"Ju-Ju Bean" turns one!!

It is hard to believe that this first image of Julia (aka Ju-Ju Bean...how cute is that?!?!?) was taken over a year ago when she was just days old!! The second image was at 6 months when sitting up by herself was a new development! Although very shortly after this, Julia began walking around on her own at age 9 months!! That's what having two big brothers does to you!! You need to learn to walk early!!!

Now Julia is a big girl at age one and the rest of the images are from her very fun one year old photo session last month! What a sweetheart!!! We so love seeing this family on a regular basis and find it hard to believe that they will be back in the summer when big brother Henry turns 5!!

Happy 1st Birthday, Ju-Ju Bean (best little nickname ever!!)

Sugar & Spice.....

and everything nice...that's what little girls are made of!! And that poem couldn't be more true for little Julia! For this family, pink around the house is totally new since Baby Julia has two big brothers at home! Therefore, this 6 month session was all about girl-time and lots of pink!!

We think Julia will be a "hat girl" when she grows up because she rocked every hat we tried!! Dad may have thought this one was a bit "frou-frou" but we thought it was the best!!!

And finally, at the end, some mommy and me time!! We can't wait for her 12 month session in the fall....

Orthotic Care Services

We were very pleased when one of our clients, Scott Hinshon, contacted us to create photographs for Orthotic Care Services.

"Orthotic Care Services, Orthotics and Prosthetics, exist to enhance the quality of life by improving mobility and function for physically challenged individuals. They dedicate themselves to providing the highest quality prosthetic and orthotic care, and educating our patients, the public, and other professionals about our services.

Scott, Certified Orthotist, wanted to have photographs created of one of their darling patients wearing her cranial remolding helmet. Orthotic Care Services plan to use these images on their website and in brochures for the services provided through Childrens Hospital. Haley is 6 months old and I think everyone will agree....pink is most definitely her color!! She was very comfortable in her helmet, and we really enjoyed getting to know her! Oh those rosey cheeks ... very kissable.
