Dusk Approaches.

If Heaven Was a Dessert..

Did I make this?? Why yes, yes I did. And life was good :)

Grandmotherly Love.

Ask me to help babysit and sure enough, my camera will find a way to tag along and be put to good use. :) Such is the occurrence that happened today when I helped watch my niece and nephew. I was able to capture some precious moments of baby and Grandma as well as put together a DARLING little area to take some more photos of my niece. Success :)

Oh my Mommy is just the most beautiful-est EVER! :D 

Had to sneak in a quick shot of this little guy. He'd just woken up from a nap :).

I love these! I knew that I wanted to take some photos of Madelyn with a giant bow around her head, but I didn't quite know where to place her. I was originally thinking in another basket, but when I went in her bedroom- bam! This little beauty of a dresser caught my attention :). I found the darling crocheted blanket nearby and the rest is history!

Aaaaand...because I am now obsessed with collages....I'd like to present one comprised of a few of the photos you just saw. Thank you for your patience :)

Baby Aaron

The other day, I had the opportunity to photograph one of my very best friend's new baby! At just over a month old, little Aaron was an absolute doll! He was sooo easy to work with and positively adorable!!! I think he had the biggest, bluest, eyes I've ever seen and was such a sweetheart. Becca is a darling new mommy and I loved getting to document her with her baby :).

P.S. I have now entered the wild and wonderful world of...collages. I LOVE seeing the photos side by side, so different and yet so similar!

What did I tell you about the eyes?? So gosh darn cute!

LOVE this! ;)

Aaron loves monkeys, which is beyond adorable, so you'll see them appearing in a few of the photos. :)

 

Becca is such a good mommy!!!

Always a fan of the cougar-pride. I firmly believe that it's never too young to start educating your child on such matters....;)

 

I think his expression in this is awesome!

So sweet!

 

I heart baby yawns :)

I can't believe how lucky I've been in capturing these little newborn's 'smiles!' Love it! :)

Jeff and Madelyn Photo Shoot

My goodness how time does fly! My darling little niece, Madelyn, is over one month old and is growing like a weed! :) She can now breathe on her own, without being hooked up to oxygen, and even smiles!! Okay, so I may be exaggerating just a little bit....or am I....? ;). At the request of my lovely sister, I went and did a lil' photo shoot of my darling niece and nephew to document their growth and their overall cuteness. 

I've also started re-experimenting with watermarks. I think I like this font best but we'll see :) Enjoy, enjoy!

We began our shoot in the great outdoors because weather was beautiful and the lighting was close to perfection. Unfortunately, the wind started to pick up so this didn't last too long. However, we did get a few darling shots :)

Madelyn and Jeff. Their little toes are presh! :)

 During this shoot, I experimented with a few props. I LOVE how they add a whole different dimension to the photos!

Photographing a toddler is TOUGH work. I have the utmost respect for people who wrangle them on a frequent basis...Jeff wanted to be in twenty places at once so we had to resort to bribery- which made for a very cute photo :).

Jeff loves Madelyn so much :)

 In case you can't tell, this child has the most darling outfits ever. Just an fyi :)

 What is a girl without her accessories?? :)

 More props :)

I told you she could smile...;) I ADORE this one. Oh my goodness. Adoration to the max.

(Yes I have updated this post by adding these two collages at the end...;). I was experimenting with different collages in Lightroom and loved these so much, I had to go back and include them!)
