Hooray for the Weekend!

Happy Friday!! I'm sure glad it's here. I hope you make the most of it! I plan to edit a million (okay 370) photos, sleep in, get in some exercise and hopefully go to the Farmer's Market. I won't buy too much fruit like I did last week. It just went to the freezer. I just got so excited when they said fill up the bag for 8 dollars!

I can't resist the sweetness of this photo. Pure bliss. I hope this is how I sleep this weekend!

Serenity - Three Months Old

This photo shoot was special, because I got to take photos of Serenity's mom during her pregnancy and then when she was two-weeks old.  I'll get to photograph her two more times, at 6-9 months and then when she's one-year old. It's such a neat opportunity to photograph a baby as they grow. I'm excited to see her when she's older and see how her personality blossoms.

 

Peyton

This is Peyton Rae. She is three months now and has won my heart.  She is such an easy baby to take photos of it was like cheating. She just gazed around smiling, blowing bubbles and speaking that most loveable baby language, gibberish.  I had lots of fun meeting her and taking her pictures. I just can't wait so see her grow and take more pictures of her!  All the pink makes me happy too!!

To Cry or Not to Cry

That was the question.

This strange person coming at her with that weird black thing attached to her face that makes lots of noise and bright lights. It was touch and go. Through it all, she is gorgeous!

 

I can't get enough of those deep clear eyes and rosebud lips.

 

Such a beautiful girl to photograph.

Daddy's Girl

Isn't she sweet? This is Serenity. Poor little thing just wanted to be held and not manhandled for three hours until I got all the shots I needed. And I didn't mind holding her, that's for sure! My favorite thing about this shoot: I asked the mom the day before if she had a tutu. She didn't and I looked for one at a baby store, but couldn't find one either. Oh well. She will still be a cutie in her pictures, I thought. When I arrived at their home in the morning there was a sweet tutu on the table. Serenity's daddy stayed up the night before and made her a tutu! I couldn't believe how sweet it was. It will fit her too when I take her photos later as she grows. This really warmed my heart. He even put little bows on it. I'm thinking, she's definitely gonna be a daddy's girl. ♥

Lucy

Meet Lucy! Those eyes make me melt.  One thing I cannot resist is a baby or little girl in a tutu! If and when I have a baby girl, I think her entire wardrobe will be tutus. One for each day. I would wear them, but that may confirm the suspicions that I'm nuts. :)

A New Arrival

So happy to introduce this sweet little bundle of love! My niece was born five weeks early and thank you God, she's perfect. You can see how her big brother feels about her. He is 2 years old and suddenly seems giant next to her. They are so so lovable. This was my first time taking new-born photos. I'm glad it was my neice so I wasn't so nervous about it. I can't wait to watch these two grow up together and see their relationship blossom.
