Today, I went and did a session with a friend of mine actually my old roommate, he and his wife just had their 3rd child and he is such a chunker. He was a few weeks early and still he weighed 9 pounds he would have been a full grown watermelon if he would have made it full term! He is just the cutest little thing ever... He was so patient and sweet. Nolan has two fabulous sisters Kaitlyn and Abby and they were so much fun to work with. I don't know if I could have done it with out Kaitlyn she just graduated high school and is so mature for her age! Ms. Abby has a mind of her own and has a vocabulary that no two year old should have but she is so funny! We had a great time doing pictures of the kids individually and together and some with dad and his new son! I can not wait to work with them through all of Nolan's milestones! I absolutely love the one of the kids feet together and their house in the background it is so cute!!!
Recently in my previous life before my best friend had her baby going to the wineries was really about drinking wine and eating feta cheese dip and P'sghetti's sandwiches. Currently, our trips are about how Cloey likes the grass, can she see the pond, will she lay on her tummy on the grass and you can imagine all the possibilities that we probably came up with too. So, while we drank a bottle of wine we also played with the baby, made her smile, listened to her giggle and of course laid her on her tummy on the grass... let me tell you how much she loved that! She isn't really a tummy baby as of yet. I absolutely love the picture with the big drop of drool probably not everyone wants to see that but I think it is so cute! She also put her feet together perfectly for me she is my life long model I can tell already! I am doing a session every day for through the next week so check back often to see different families!
Ok, so alot of people keep asking me if Cloey is my kiddo...she is not. She is my god daughter and I have known her mommy since we were born. We are just a few weeks apart and I can't ever remember a time in my life with out her! I absolutely love Cloey with all my heart and soul and have had an amazing time taking her pictures so far. I can't wait for her to be 6 months old, she is already so smiley when you talk to her that I just can't wait for her to sit up! Here are a few of her shots from her two month session at the studio. We will be doing her following sessions outside or at home as I am no longer working at the studio. Yay!!!
We just did a family session this Sunday with Kristi and Andy Smith and it was so fun! Kristi's boy's are just 15 months and 5 months so though it was challenging it was such a good time! We started at Forest Park by the waterfall and ended at Laumeirer and in the fall we are going to take pictures by the basin! They were such great models I can't wait to work with them more in the future!
So, I had my first spring family session outside and it was so much fun! I can't believe these kiddos actually listened to me I see them like 4 times a week and basically consider them my own! The pictures turned out so adorable and I had forgotten how gorgeous my little friends are. I did a few group shots and a lot of individuals they weren't too agreeable because they hadn't been told previously so it was a little out of there routine. None the less they let me do what I needed to do and it was an awesome experience.
On Sunday we went to the Botanical Garden with friends and had a wonderful time, the flowers were gorgeous, it wasn't too hot and it was a great exercise walking around. It was a great way to spend our afternoon and what's a better bonus then also taking pictures that I absolutely love!
