Oh my I must say I love this age. Every stage is awesome of a baby’s life – but there’s something about the 6-7 month range that just melts my heart. Heath is sitting up, rolling all around, reaching out for hugs from people he loves, smiling and laughing his head off, and cuddling with cats (and soft blankets – he loves ‘em both). He’s such a sweet little boy and I couldn’t be a prouder mom. I love his big deep blue eyes, his sweet gummy smile (now with 1 lower tooth!), and his amazing personality. I wish I could just bottle this age up and remember it forever.

Oh and seriously how cute are baby bottoms!!!

I love him more than I ever imagined my heart could love anything!!

I truly mean it when I say I love my clients…and yesterday was just another example of how great they are. This super funny and sweet family drove over an hour to my studio for their session and the kids were still all smiles when they got here. With the new cold chill in the air we kept warm under sweaters and jackets, and by running a few races through the fallen leaves. I love the two ages of these kids too – three year olds have such fun personalities and 7 month olds are sitting and smiling and so sweet. These two gorgeous kids also had some of the prettiest blue eyes I’ve ever seen. I’m so happy they (plus their family from California!) were able to make it up here for our session yesterday – enjoy these sneak peeks!!

I love when a family is laughing together…makes my heart happy:

This is the look I got when I asked for his halloween monster face:

I wanted to share a few more product photos with you as I’ve been on a roll of remembering to take their photos! Here is one of the custom designed mini accordion albums from this adorable newborn session:

And up next is the insanely gorgeous album included with my bellies & babies package. The pages lay flat and this one has a metallic custom cover. Sooooo pretty.

Every time I remember to photograph some of the products that come through my studio, I kick myself for not doing it more often. I must say, receiving the big boxes from my labs never gets old…and I often find myself staring out the window waiting for the UPS or Fedex trucks to arrive bringing me the goodies. I love digging into the boxes of prints and pouring over them looking at every single detail. There is something about seeing your images in print that brings back the feeling of that session day. I get so pumped seeing the storyboards in person too – they are my most popular product and designing them with my clients is always a blast. The mini albums are awesome to keep on your desk or throw into your purse and are always designed for your session. Here are a few shots from one of my packages before it was delivered – seeing them just makes me happy.

Then comes moving across the country, a military career…and now a baby on the way! This gorgeous couple just oozed excitement and happiness over their baby girl due soon, and I loved that we did this photosession around sunset. Happy expectant couple + a setting sun + warm summer nights = beautiful! I was so excited when she mentioned doing some photos in his military dress uniform too…her all dolled up (complete with red lips and kitten heels!) and him strong and tall in his uniform…it totally brought to mind to a vintage era. I loved loved loved hanging out with these two and chatting about their little one on the way – so fun!
