I know, I know, she’s got the biggest brown eyes and the cutest little face. I can totally understand why daddy wants to cuddle up next to her all the time! If you think this image is cute, wait ’til you see her smile! Her face lights up completely and so does everyone around her :) And, she’s got a beautiful big sister who adores her…and is a classic beauty herself (she looks just like mommy).

….this sweet girlie just loved looking in the mirror :) And how could anyone blame her – just look at how deliciously chubby and adorable she is! Those rolls, those big eyes, those pouty lips…I always, always love sessions between 6-8 months. It’s always a win-win situation for me because babies are giggly, full of personality…and still have that baby chub (which tends to start shedding at 12 months) – which makes for a fun session AND amazing images! This one was no different. She rocked the photo session – loved the camera!

She was the Belle of the ball during our photo session, and I just have this little feeling that the trend will continue on for months to come :)  She’s definitely a girlie girl…a little princess…so sweet and pretty. You can see for yourself how lovely she is…precious little Hailey Belle at only 8 days young. Annnd of course, her beautiful mommy & daddy – so you can see where she gets her good looks from!

There’s no better place for a newborn to be than in mommy’s arms. And, there’s no better place for a mommy to be — than in daddy’s arms :)

…that make me so happy! It’s sessions just like this one that make me giddy! I can really do these types of sessions every day! I just love the dynamic nature of family shoots with toddlers. Yes, it can be challenging (with tantrums and all), but it’s hilarious and absolutely FUN. In this case though, no major tantrums at all! She was a perfect little model :) As long as she had a little cuddle time with mommy and daddy…and a little thumb sucking, she was good to go – plus, aren’t thumb sucking shots the cutest?! There was really nothing more I could ask for. We were at a beautiful location, it was nice and cloudy (my giant softbox), parents were gorgeous…and my main subject was a sweet, charming, adorable blue-eyed toddler! No doubt, I had an amazing time photographing this lovely family of three — and what better way to celebrate baby girl’s 2nd birthday than with a photo shoot?! I had an extremely difficult time choosing a few to blog! I’ll definitely be sharing this session in full soon :)

This beautiful family of three just became a family of four! And what a perfect little “plus one” he is :) Just to give you a quick run down of how cute he is….you can see in the images below: his adorable button nose, perfectly shaped pout, squishy newborn rolls, peachy-rosy complexion, a full head of gorgeous brown hair…AND, what makes me want to bring him home with me even more, is that he is a wonderful sleeper (so far)! As parents, we all know what a great thing having a sleepy newborn baby is! But wait, this cutie also has a sweet and spunky big sister who is just as adorable! One word to describe her: Energetic :) A seriously beautiful family!

Mondays tend to be the toughest day of the week. Getting back into the swing of things from a relaxing and enjoyable weekend can be rough! So, to bring a smile to your face today, here’s a little something I thought was so cute and just plain funny! Little lady on the left is not pleased with the way the photo session is going…and her brother is looking at her like “Hey, I don’t know about you, but I’m into the camera, don’t rain on my parade – wassup with that?!” — I think it’s the cutest thing ever! Happy Monday everyone!
