My current favorite location. Just down the street from my house – a little secret spot. How can you not love railroad tracks, brush, dirt & rocks? It’s the countryside right in the middle of the city!

…come in small packages.  Nine days old, no more than 6 pounds…so teeny, tiny and precious. Just beautiful!

…it’s not very often that I’m able to catch moments of calm & quiet with toddlers.  Running around and playing is number one on their agenda – so I really love this photo – it just speaks to me – calm, serene,  simple  :)

The eyes are the windows to the soul.

…isn’t he just darling? Such a sweet little face.

This image I just love – you can see how much mommy & daddy adore their little man…and it’s easy to see why!

“It’s a big world baby, and you’re little – for a little while”

I came across this song on YouTube. My son likes to listen to music when he’s eating, so I’m always looking for new songs for him. The chorus for this song just stopped me in my tracks. It is totally a BIG world for our little ones – but more importantly, our children just grow up so fast – and it’s so true that they’re only  “little for a little while”. My eyes started to fill with tears as I realized how fast my baby is growing up….that pretty soon, he won’t need or want me to feed him in his high chair….that pretty soon he’ll be as tall as me…..that pretty soon he’ll have a full set of teeth…that pretty soon, he won’t want me to photograph him anymore (gasp)!  I just stared at him for a while, soaking in his little-ness…and how much I adore him.

And just because posts without images are no fun…

Hunter has always been one of the happiest little babies I’ve photographed. His energy is so positive, so full of zest! Here he is, totally enjoying his first birthday!

Those eyes and sweet smile tell a story…

Here’s the loving, happy, beautiful family on Hunter’s first birthday

…until this little sweetie gets older – he’s going to be a heart breaker for sure! It’s pretty rare to get such peaceful sleeping shots at 3 months – so this one is extra special. Plus, look how pretty mommy looks :)

Oh my goodness – look at that toothless grin! Love it :)

You can’t tell from the image below that this little guy actually isn’t all that into tummy time…
He just looks so sweet & content.

He’s totally communicating with the camera here! I’m pretty sure this is his super model look :)
