Welcome Baby Isla - Nora's little sister ;-)

Nora will be three next month and she just welcomed her little sister last week.  She "loves her baby Isla" and is so good with her.  Not so into taking pix tho, but we made it work!!

Kaelyn Turns 4

I also am realizing I never posted Kaelyn's official 4 year old photos.  Being the daughter of a photo crazy mom is somewhat annoying I'm sure.  So these were taken in maybe 5 minutes.  And yes, there was a bribe involved.  But at least I got something...

Baby grows up!

Baby girl is growing so fast. I took these for during a quick visit last August - it was not an official shoot. But she's so darn cute it doesn't matter if they are official photos or not! At 15 months, the walking and camera shy stage is at full force...so these were the best of a very challenging attempt to get a couple of photos!

Forgotten Fall

I just realized I never posted these photos from October. I brought Kaelyn and Andrew along so it really was two shoots in one! Kids had so much fun at this pumpkin patch/animal farm!

Gerber Baby

I'm taking a photography class (a very informal one) - my first ever.  It's just a two week online course and of course, I need to photograph a child at every age from newborn to 10.  A little advance notice would have been good - I haven't been able to schedule anybody at this short of notice!  Anyway - I was supposed to do a Gerber Baby photo shoot with a 6-9 month old - and the effort was to get the mom's hand feeding the baby.  Since I do not have a 6-9 month old handy, I just used Andrew - and his hand...since he won't let anyone else feed him!  I thought these turned out kinda fun. We'll see what the instructor says!

Happy Hearts

I had such fun photographing Kaelyn's class for a Valentine's surprise for their parents!  It was amazing how great the props worked. The whole thing took about 15 minutes.

 This poor guy was sick that day so we did a "make up" session with him!

 And of course Andrew wanted to get in on the fun too!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Girly girl

I love girly details - so fun!!!

It's that time of year!

For Holiday Photo shoots!  Once again, I had the honor of photographing one of the world's most photogenic families! They always know just how to strike a pose! I had a hard time choosing from this shoot...
But this is my favorite!

And here is some artsy!

Love him.  He was "taking our picture!!!"

 Big Brother love...

Mommy Love!

 Daddy fun!
