I had a wonderful weekend of client sessions. This little boy was so adorable! I photographed him a couple of years ago as a newborn and was thrilled to be asked to do a family and baby session this year! I have seen him a few times since our first session years ago and couldn’t wait to get him in front of the camera again! We had to reschedule this session a few times and finally picked a perfect day with plenty of sunshine. Baby photography sessions are so much fun, and at this age, they keep you running. He was so busy…….and precious!

Mom and Dad, I hope you enjoy your preview. Tell your friends and family members to check out the images and leave a little love on your blog post. Blog love makes me very, very happy and I like to say thank you to my clients for sharing my work. If you get 35 comments from unique visitors (with a unique email address), you can choose your favorite image for a 5×7 print on me! If you get 50 comments, it’s an 8×10!! Enjoy:)

Lucio Linear: How numerous articles does it obtain to create a first-class blog?

I am putting together some orders this evening and just had to share some images of this one! I love all the fun colors and the precious little subject. I had the best time with this family. They ordered one of my most popular collections that allows them to enjoy some of my favorite products as well as keep their own copy of all the images for additional and future printing. In these images you will see the clients selection from my new frames collection, some extra prints, a coffee table storybook, a dvd show of their session with custom case, and a custom image box for 5×7 prints and a disc of the digital files. Wouldn’t you love to have these products to document your family?!!

I’ve been away from my little blog for too long! Like so many of you with children attending schools in the area, we have been busy with last minute summer vacationing, back-to-school shopping, and finally…..our first days of seventh grade! How in the world did this happen? My sweet little baby girl has grown into a sweet, beautiful preteen. I look at her sometimes and the thought of how quickly it is happening……the growing up thing……it makes my head spin. And I am so guilty of not documenting it enough! Now, I am not sure what is enough……..maybe there would never be an “enough” for me. But nonetheless, I think we are due for a daughter’s photo shoot this weekend:)

Fall will be here before you know it and I can’t wait for all the outdoor sessions I have lined up! And I will be SUPER excited about the cooling temperatures. This summer seemed particularly brutal in that area. I can’t wait to meet the babies I will be photographing too. I am so happy to have quite a few new mommies and daddies that I will be working with around the holidays this year. I don’t know why my December and January newborn calendar always seems to fill so quickly, but it does!

More blogging is coming next week so check back iin to see the latest sessions!
And here are just a couple of last minute, quick snaps taken on the first day back to school at my house. This is one of my daughter’s best friends and I cannot tell you how proud I am of the smart, sweet, lovely young ladies they are becoming:)
