Go with the flow

With baby photography, this has to be the motto at all times…and for this session, it couldn’t be more true. Our handsome little model was definitely certain that he preferred to be in mommy & daddy’s arms rather than sitting on grass. Poor little guy…he was feeling a little under the weather, but looking at the images below, I’m pretty sure that no one would be able to tell. Nevertheless, he was a fantastic model – juuust adorable, with oodles of yummy baby chub, and totally interested in the camera – which I always love! I also have to give major kudos to daddy – he did an amazing job keeping his little boy entertained, engaged and happy – even rolling around on the grass to make him giggle

Reappearance

Julie — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 13:09:06 +0000

Her pretty face graces the pages of the BSP blog again – and inspires lots of ooohs and ahhhs, again. This time, she’s two years old and full of personality. But of course…she still has those beautiful, soulful brown eyes & long lashes – just as she did when I photographed her at 6 months! You may recognize her, as she also stuns viewers around the globe with her beauty on my homepage slideshow. Yes, it’s her – just a sweet as she was over a year ago. I’m always amazed at how much changes in a year….wow! She’s got her little lady outfits on now, so fashionable and charming (just like her beautiful momma). So, so pretty. Oh my gosh – and I always get a kick out of photographing toddlers. They are so hilarious! They quite literally do the exact opposite of what is asked – and it always cracks me up during sessions. Parents are often troubled when their rambunctious toddlers insist on doing their own thing – but I really enjoy it….plus, it gives me the opportunity to catch them doing things they really enjoy! Toddler sessions are always fast and fun. All I need is an hour and we’re good!

It only gets better

When you have your first baby, everything is new & exciting. You look at your newborn with such amazement and awe. So I can only imagine how much stronger these feelings are when you have a second child. Watching your first baby grow up to be an energetic toddler, then having a new baby must completely put into perspective how FAST they grow. What a blessing it must feel like to have a sweet little newborn in your arms again…savoring each moment because you know that in the blink of an eye, they’ll reach toddlerhood just the same. I think the experience only gets better with time…the deep appreciation…and ever growing love. What must be even more amazing is watching your first baby interact with your newest baby. THAT must be an indescribable feeling — that I personally hope one day to experience for myself – but for now, one toddler is filling my heart with love

This family was just a joy. Hilarious daddy, ever patient mommy, supportive & loving grandma, and sweet-affectionate big brother…The love here is so, so clear.

Hurry, hurry

…this was what was going through my mind (and I’m sure mommy & daddy’s, too) during our photo session! For one, little Kaiden (who will be celebrating his first birthday in a week), was SUPER fast. I mean, FAST. As I tried to photograph him playing on the bed, he literally kept running across it — trying to jump off! All I was thinking was — oh my gosh, hurry and catch him! It was super cute…but also making me nervous Then, it was all hurries getting to our outdoor location before sunset. We arrived with little over 15 minutes of sun left! Suffice it to say, we were hurrying right along the entire time. A little adrenaline + a beautiful family = my fave

Self-explanatory

There are many reasons why I looved this session. First, the light that morning was just devine – if you’re debating about waking up earlier than usual for an a.m. session – here’s proof that it’s well worth it. Morning light is just fantastic…and when captured using a 50mm f1.2/L — you get super creamy bokeh and color like you wouldn’t believe! So I shot wide open with this lens for most of the session The second reason I love this photo session was because mommy and daddy were super sweet and loved up on their baby girl without hesitation in front of the camera. And, the biggest reason why I so loved this session…well, that’s self explanatory – see for yourself:

Is this last image not to die for? I kept saying to myself “Oh my gosh, she is so cute” during the session.
And her eyes – wow. Amazing.

Busy little bee

…this adorable busy little bee was the quintessential toddler. Running around, jumping around, walking, laughing…and (in true toddler style) pretty much doing the opposite of what was asked This comes as no surprise though! And I love it…it’s absolutely hilarious and awesomely cute! No doubt, she is a fire cracker…and…just gorgeous. Beautiful curls, big brown eyes…and a sweet, sweet smile. She is going to be a heartbreaker!

Unexpected

Our goal for this shoot was to get some awesome sunflare…so we scheduled a sunset maternity session….I really love sunset sessions for pregnancy photos. There’s just something so magical about the golden light just before sunset..as it casts a warm glow over the pregnant belly. It’s really fantastic. I was very much looking forward to photographing this pretty mama! So after two weeks of waiting…and over an hour of driving for mommy and daddy to be, we meet up at our spot and guess what? It’s so, so, so cloudy. The clouds were completely blocking ALL of the sun’s beautiful rays I was so bummed, so bummed. BUT, because it was cloudy, I was able to capture the blueness of the sky and got the first shot below. Which has got to be one of my favorite maternity photo ever. I love it so so much As if it’s not enough to get to photograph her twice…I also get to photograph her baby’s birth…and then have a newborn shoot! I <3 my job.

Snuggles

Who wouldn’t want to snuggle with this sweet little baby? I mean, those overalls, those big brown eyes, those perfect little lips! What a sweet, adorable, snuggly boy!

The life

There’s nothing I like more than spending a cloudy morning hanging out by a big pond with some stale bread, lots of duckies, fuzzy squirrels…and a cute toddler What a great life! I’m blessed beyond words…and truly thankful

The best kind of smile

…is one that shows off those little baby teeth! How oh-so-adorable! It’s always a joy photographing this family. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing them from the time the littlest one was only days old…I really enjoy seeing families over the course of the year. It always amazes me just how fast our little once grow and change!
