Family full of love!

Back in 2006, I shot Jen's wedding. We have been friends for many years. She has the sweetest daughter, Sammy, and now an adorable little baby boy, Landon. This is such a great family. I can't get over how wonderful Sammy is. She is such a big help to her mom. Jen got really lucky with her first child, and I think she will be as lucky with the second! Here are a few from the session today. I absolutely love the photos of Jen with her kids. I hope to photograph them again soon!

Peyton

I am so happy that I got to photograph precious little Peyton. This was so special since I was the photographer for her parents wedding in July. Lindsay and Shane have such a beautiful and sweet little girl.

I had a lot fun with the family. When I get to photograph multiple events for people, I really try to get to know them. Tonight, I found out the Lindsay's grandmother lives in Sunapee, NH. Sunapee is one of my favorite places. I used to spend my summers there as a child and absolutely fall in love with it over and over again, every time I go back up there. It was really nice talking about it with someone else.

Lindsay and Shane, thank you once again for letting me share another special moment with you. It was great to see you guys again. Enjoy a peek at the photos.

Photos with a variation of movement and expressions make great collages. I think Peyton is beautiful in this.

Already the best of friends

Doesn't she look like a precious little doll?

Once again, I love baby's feet.

I think Peyton could be a Pampers model!

Three Magic Words

MUSIC, SKITTLES, & DANCING!!!

These three things are what I discovered were the secret to this family. A client referred me to the O'Connell family and I'm so happy she did. These three darling kids are so precious and so expressive! I had so much fun with them today!

When I first got there, the two girls were not quite sure what to make of me. It wasn't until I asked them to start jumping and dancing on the bed that they decided I was okay! They had such a great time "breaking the rules"(I hope I didn't start a bad habit)! They were dancing and singing to all types of songs like "Dancing Queen" and the Glee soundtrack. I think they know more songs than I do. One thing is for sure, their little brother is going to have his hands full in a few years.

Here is a sneak peek of the photos, enjoy!

What a cutie!

Love Feet!

Taking a rest from jumping

Love this!

Practicing his singing

Sweet

Precious little faces

Best Friends forever

I love this! This is such a "I didn't do it" face

She was using this book as a camera.

Friends

I love how word travels. I know Shannon, Shannon knows Kim, Kim knows Courtney, Courtney hires me for her baby girl, Kim gets a gift certificate for a newborn session and Shannon will have her newborn session as soon as her little one arrives. All I can say is, thank you Shannon for spreading the word. I think it's great when a group of friends hire me because they have an experience that they can share with each other. Every session is always different. It depends on the baby and what he/she wants to do.

Kim's daughter, Chloe, had her newborn session today. Like her "friend" Nola, she decided to stay awake for the most of the session. At only a few weeks apart, they already think a like. I think there are some great photos from the session.

Heartbreaker in the Making

What a little cutie Brady is! Today was his three month session and he did great! He's still not sure about tummy time, but I think he's on his way. I can't wait for his six month session. I already have ideas jumping around in my head! Here are some of my favorite photos from today.

Nola

Nola was such a trooper today! At only two weeks old, I decided to introduce her to a tutu...I think she liked it. We may have a little ballerina on our hand. And, I have to say, it was really fun making it. I think I may have a new hobby!

I can't believe that Nola stayed awake the whole time during our session. It was just amazing. I'm sure she slept well after I left. I think there are some great shots of her. Here is a peek at her photos.

Doesn't she look like a little porcelain doll in the first photo?

She really didn't give me a lot of crying photos, but I did get this one...

Look at how alert she is!

We thought she fell asleep but it was very short lived.

One of the first photos, again, a very short nap, but look at her little smile.
