I think little Miss L gets the 2010 award for sleepiest newborn (every photographer’s dream). She slept about 80% of our session, which made for excellent posing and beautiful pictures! It was great getting to spend some quality time w/this little gem and her family. She’s a doll!!

I have to say, there are some sessions that crack me up the whole time…. like this one from Saturday: 18 month old Mr. G. Mr. Big Blue Eyes did not like it when nothing was in his hands. As you can see below.. he either had trains, balls or best of all… a Little Einsteins video case, which became a pool toy! The video case got way more smiles that I did, so I’ve decided to dress up like June or Annie for my next session. I’m going to order the costume now!! Thanks for a fun AM Mr. G and for sharing some of the cuteness at the Old Trail pool too!

It seems like just yesterday that I did Little Miss L’s newborn shots and *gasp*, she’s already 9 month old! This little lady is such a doll. I love to photograph this age. They still love to practice their smiling and sit and pose for pics! Ahhhh… such a pleasure! It was great to see you again Miss L!! Trudy and Josie want to play again soon!

I had a quick little session w/this soon to be big brother a couple of weeks ago. He is so excited about his little sister… due to arrive any time now! Mr. D, I can’t wait to meet her too!!

My apologies on not posting for *gulp* almost 2 months! I’ve had a busy Summer with the family… fun vacations and mini getaways. I’m sad to see it come to an end here shortly! In 2 weeks time, I’ll be posting 1st day of Kindergarten pics. Where does the time go??

In July, I got to meet this brand new lovely lady! Isn’t she adorable?? She has a beautiful family too. I’m very proud of big brother, Mr. G, who worked so patiently with me to pull of this 1st shot!!

I gladly bring to you today the 2nd part of my shoot for Etsy Vendor Monkey Doodle Designs featuring…. My Girls! Aren’t they the cutest?? {I’m not biased or anything}.

They loved the dresses. I had a hard time getting them to take the dresses off! Check out Monkey Doodle when you get a chance! Perfect for your child’s next photo session!

I had to share this one.. Josie’s “one eye crinkle” face.

Meet cutie pie Miss “M.” She made it home just in time for her photo debut (at 4 days old)! She was into the photo session and didn’t want to miss a thing… She got a little mad at me for getting her nekkid (she didn’t like the whole naked posing thing). Once we got her in the swaddle, she was a happy little clam! Thank you for letting me share the journey with you “V” family.

A beautiful smile!

The happy family!

I’ve been busy w/different kinds of photography work, so I thought I’d share.

I got to take so team pics (for little ones). How cute are they??

Then I took some pics for Crozet Eye Care! What a fun bunch of gals!

Then I got to take a little weekend getaway to Provincetown, MA with my husband! I love it there!

Look who is turning 1… My Baby’s 1st Year Program graduate Mr. G! And how stinkin’ cute is he??

Can you think of any better way to celebrate than with a cake smash??

How cute is this hat that Mommy brought??

Yay! Cake!

“Back Away From The Cake”

I admit.. 18 months to 3 years old is the hardest to photograph. Most of the time, they want nothing to do with any of this whole “photography thing.” Sometimes they hide. Sometimes they cling to Mommy. And sometimes they run. Little man “N” was a champion runner. I have to admit… 50% of the picture that I got of him on the UVA Lawn were of his back. Here is an example of one of our the 1st pics I took… Running with a bit of “Hold Me Mommy” mixed in.

With a little time.. they usually come around. If even for brief moments, I’m there to capture it. What Mr. N wanted most was to be thrown, tickled and sung to… so we all obliged! After some practice.. Mommy, Daddy and Photog perfected the “Throw, Tickle, Pause” technique. (I’m going to have to patent that one!) Thanks for letting me capture some final Charlottesville memories for you H Family. Good luck with new jobs and a new city!
