My youngest daughter turned three this past weekend.  As much as I am enjoying the freedom of not having a baby to take care of, I still am very baby hungry.  Thankfully I get to play with sweet newborns all the time and that helps to curb my hunger.  We love our sweet little Abby and she is such a joy in our lives.  Enjoy a few pictures from a quick snow session I did with her.  I sure love the beautiful backdrop we have in our happy little valley.  The snow will not be around much longer.  Contact me if you would like to book a snow mini-session and I will send you the details.

I love 6 month olds!  It is the perfect age for photographs.  They are sitting and happy and have the cutest facial expressions.  I think the best part is that they cannot move from where you put them.  This sweet little boy was such a joy to have in studio yesterday.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

I had the pleasure of having this gorgeous little girl in studio.  I have had the chance to photograph her a few times and everytime I am blown away by her beauty.

I think she looks like a young Reese Witherspoon here with her pouty lips…

I am having so much fun processing these images from a recent session.  All of the color is just gorgeous!  Here are 2 more…

I know I am a little late getting your gallery uploaded so here is one more to hold you off a little longer.  I love the eye contact in this one and her serene expression.  She is such a doll!

I had a great time hanging out with two fun boys.  We played games, we hid from their mom, we talked about stinky feet, and, oh yeah, and we snapped a few shots of them in between the laughs and giggles.  Thanks for making the trip up to see me… Here are just a few I have processed so far. Enjoy your sneak peek!

I saw this sweet family exactly a year ago while portfolio-building.  Remember their session?  Now they came back to get some updated pictures in studio.  Their mom didn’t want to buy the “school pictures” again and I don’t blame her!  School pictures cannot get natural expressions when they are shuttled through in a line and told to smile.  When you add more time, a few jokes, maybe a bribe or two, and much more flattering lighting, you end up with pictures that truly showcase your child’s personality and capture the memory of them at this time.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

It is always fun trying to get a shot of 5 kids together!

All of the boys have ice blue eyes…

Who can resist girls in pettiskirts?

Remember this newborn?  He is already 4 months old! He came to visit me today and we had a lot of fun! Since Alex is part of the baby plan we will be seeing a lot more of him.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Remember this newborn?  Well she is seven months old now and is sitting and starting to crawl.  She came to the studio for some updated pictures.  She was such a doll!  Lucy is part of Means A Lot’s Baby Plan.  This covers sessions from pregnancy to one year old.  Contact me if you want more information about our baby plan.
