TOO CUTE TUESDAY...and FYI

MY LITTLE SWEETHEART: NATALIE...

Since I am so behind on posting images on any of my blogs, I thought these would be great to share. FYI...if you are a blog follower or just want to follow mine. My other blogs are back in action. I have made several posts on the other two blogs recently: NATALIE'S WORLD (blog all about my little sweetheart as viewed by me--her mimi) and WORTH REMEMBERING (family blog...a blog about my family and me & my thoughts).

FLASHBACK FRIDAY

This was photographed almost 6 years ago! Anyone know who this beautiful newborn is? She's 5 days old in this photo and probably weighs about 6 lbs or a little less.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY (11.05.10)

My little sweetheart about a year ago. I love finding old images that I never had time to edit and post. So now's a new image, but yet it's got that nostaliga feeling going at the same time. She sure has grown and changed the last year.

Flashback Friday

Yes, this is my little sweetheart, Natalie. It's very difficult for me to believe that this was just three short years ago. Actually, it seems like it was last week. Natalie was a little over 19 months old.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY...(okay, just a few words)

Just realized that I love this image even more than I did three years ago when I captured it. To learn more about Live Bunny Portraits for next week, CLICK HERE or scroll down a bit to view more Bunny Portraits.

BEAUTIFUL BALLERINAS

This past weekend I photographed two mini sessions. Do you recognize these two beautiful ballerinas? They needed photographs for the ads that I purchased for the upcoming recital program books. Both of these girls (my beautiful daughter and sweetheart granddaughter) are so photogenic. So hard to choose my faves for the ad, but I pretty sure both of the images will make the ad.

YOU BETTER NOT POUT

...AND YOU BETTER NOT CRY!
Yes, this is photo of my little sweetheart during a recent photo session.

She wasn't actually pouting, but is she was...what a beautiful pout (just saying).

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

FLASHBACK FRIDAY...

A COLLAGE AND A STORYBOARD...

The images included in this collage were photographed June 6, 2008 (approximately one year ago). This is Madison. These images were created as part of her one-year old portrait session. I think she is expecting a new sibling soon. I haven't talked to her mommy lately, but that was what she told me the last time I did talk to her.

ABOVE IMAGE: ONE YEAR AGO

The images included in this storyboard were created exactly one year ago today as part of her two-year old portraits to create another photo invitation. Which reminds me, if we're going to do that for this year's party, we need to make a plan. To those of you that may be new to my blog, this is my grandaughter, Natalie. I did photo invitations to her birthday parties for her first and 2nd parties. I intended to do so again last year, but time slipped away. I do hope to do one this year. I have some great ideas for it, but as usual, I have more ideas than I have time for. LOL

ABOVE IMAGE: TWO YEARS AGO

HAPPY FRIDAY!

FLASHBACK FRIDAY

There you have it, a beautiful professional image from the past. This is Natalie, yes, my Little Sweetheart, Natalie. She is approximately 3 wks old in this image. A tad old for the typical newborn portraits like this. As a newborn Natalie was one of those extremely laid back newborns, but it seemed each time we started her sessions, she would turn into the opposite baby...the opposite of whatever we were trying to capture. You know how it is..when we wanted her awake, she wanted to be asleep and vice versus as well. I took some of her at 5 days and then around 2-3 week mark we did two other sessions to finally capture the images that I desired for her newborn session. I never even made newborn session slideshow of her like I used to do for all my other newborns. I do intend to still create some kind of digital newborn album. After all, I have these images forever!

BEAUTIFUL SPRING WEEKEND: MY SWEETHEART!

These are two of my favs from a little mini session that I had with my little sweetheart yesterday afternoon. It was such a pretty weekend. It was nice to spend it with family and I so enjoy photographing images of my beautiful little sweetheart, Natalie.

I also posted a SNEAKPEAK of another one of my favs on Natalie's World. If time permits, I will post more later! I just couldn't resist sharing these few.

ONE-YEAR AGO TODAY...

MARCH 16, 2008

I photographed engagement photos for my son, grandaughter and her mommy who would soon officially become an "Ainsworth" too. It is always so hard for me to work with my own children's schedules along with mine to do personal work. But we finally did with less the 3 months to go.

I also used the images to create their wedding invitation. This image above was one side of the flat invitation. The other side had all the info...when, where, time, etc.

This image age was one also one of my favorites from the session. I added a quote to it and displayed it at the reception...on Natalie's cake table. We had the bride's cake and her table, the groom's cake and his table and we couldn't leave out our little sweetheart. Natalie had her own brown cake w/pink dots and her own table.

The engagement session went quite well...especially considering it was my own family! It is hard to believe that was only a year ago!

SORT OF SAD SATURDAY....

Yes, it is sort of sad that little ones go from this...

...to this in less than three years.

I am feeling a little better today, but not as good as yesterday. I did get a little work done yestesday, nothing significant, but it's a good start in the right direction.

I plan to do some mental organizing tomorrow afternoon and hoping to put the organization into play next week. But for now, I leave you with some precious, but not new images, of my little sweetheart. I can't look at this precious face enough. She is here today and at the moment taking a little nap and I am trying to think of something special for us to do when she wakes up. I try to make our times together as special by trying to do little things. At her age, little things are big things! I love it!

IS YOUR CHILD ON THE "NICE" LIST?

http://family.go.com/santas-list/video/56358-mimi2natalie/

Check out this video. This is one of the cutest little videos I have seen. I received this email from DisneyFamily.com about this. After you join this website or whatever you call it, all you have to do is upload a photo of your child. Couldn't be any easier!

I can't wait to watch Natalie view. Brittany had already watched it when I talked to her earlier today. If Natalie has even half the excitement that her Aunt Cari had, then Randy suggestion was right on. He suggested that Natalie not see it the first time until we can see her watching it...which should be tomorrow or the next day. I did feel compelled to show it to you, my blog readers, since all you may not view NATALIE' WORLD (my first blog), I wanted to include it here too so that you can have an opportunity to do this with the special little one in your life this holiday season.

Have fun making memories with the Little Ones this Wonderful Time of the Year!

My Favorite...

...little one to photograph will always be MY LITTLE SWEETHEART, NATALIE. Though she isn't the easiest to photograph...she is getting easier than when she was younger.

I love that I caught this one.
I get so busy working on everyone else's Christmas portraits and gifts that mine are lasts. I finally got a chance to do a few of this sweet face. I had so many good ones...it will take a while to determine which ones are the very best, but this gives you a little sneak peakof my favs at first glance.

OUR LITTLE TIGER!

Often when I do portfolio, business cards, etc., I forget to use images of OUR LITTLE TIGER. But not this time! HERE SHE IS!

L-S-U

She's not the easiest child to work with...so as soon as I was pleased with a pose, I moved on. I am trying to prevent photographer's child (grandchild) burnout. Natalie's daddy is still suffering from it. Maybe not...he never minds taking a photograph with his Little Tiger!

I think my two favorite images are the first one and the "U" image in the storyboard. I only took one of her with the "U". I was pleased. So that was it.

I had a little mini session with Natalie this morning too as you can see since I was in the "mini" session state of mind. I did her in another little dress too. I will post one or two from that tomorrow or the next day. I hope you enjoy these for now!
