That’s what boys are made of….

Mr. J was a delight to photograph. I got the pleasure of photographing him last week. These are the sweetest moments and they pass all too quickly. It was just a year ago that my little guy was born. I’m not ready to have another, so I’m thankful that lately I’ve been getting to borrow sweet little babies so I can photograph them. They are just too precious. I think I’d have a dozen if it weren’t for the whole laundry thing…

I also did a few photos of Mr. J’s big sister while Mr. J was eating. She was dressed in her princess attire and I don’t think I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing such a beautiful princess. She totally stole my heart.

Thanks B family for allowing me to photograph your beautiful kids. I hope you enjoy your preview!

the big sister Miss “A”

Sometimes I have sessions where I plan out a particular photo that I really want. This was one of those sessions. I bought this prop with this exact photo in  mind. I was so excited when baby “J” cooperated for me. I will post more photos from this session later, but I couldn’t resist posting this one. He’s an absolute doll!!

This little precious thing is only two and a half weeks old. She’s absolutely perfect! If her mom and dad weren’t so attached, I might have just taken her home with me. She hardly fussed and was perfectly content letting me photograph her. We had a really great session and I got lots of great photos. Thanks so much for letting me do miss “B”s photos!

Congrats to mom and dad for your newest addition!

I hope you enjoy your preview…

an outtake, but I couldn’t resist showing this….

My little guy had his one year “smash the cake” session with his mama. I usually despise food on the face pictures, but when you’re talking cake and babies, it’s a perfect combination. D was hysterical. I wanted a picture of him just sitting next to the cake, but he dived right in. As you can see by the photos here, he did quite a good job at smashing his cake.

My future sister in law is a professional cake maker/decorator and she made his adorable cake. She works at Market Place and also does AMAZING wedding cakes as well.

the perfect little cake…

ahhh the drool….

hmmmm… I think this might look good on me…

laying on the cake might be fun

SUGAR RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh yeah, it’s THAT good.

so pleased with himself..

SUCCESS!

A perfectly smashed cake.

and the storyboard I made…

ALOHA!

Announcing the contest for best image of 2008. I wanted to pick one from each session, but there were just so many that I had to narrow it down. I had an unbiased opinion (my hubby) who helped me select my images.

The winner will receive a framed 16X20 of the image. Also, for anyone who votes and books a session you will receive a free 16X20 of an image from your session. You must book your session before the contest ends, though to get the super cool dealy-O.

To vote, please make a comment below in the comment box for whatever number you are voting for. Please no fake email addresses and only one vote per person. My system can track these things, so please no cheaty cheaty or your vote won’t count.

Contest will end on January 10th, 2009 at midnight.

Have fun and get all your friends, family, coworkers and enemies involved. Okay, well maybe not enemies, but you get the idea 😉
