THREE-MONTH OLD BABY HAYDEN & ALI, TOO

What a sweet expression for three-month old!

MY FAVORITE IMAGE FROM THIS SESSION! He was such a cute litttle thumb sucker!

awww! how sweet is this! (a tinted image)

Hayden and his cousin, Ali I photographed them a while back and it was actually Ali's 3-month portrait session and Baby Hayden just came for the ride. Well, I guess you could call it that. He didn't have a clue he was there much less being photographed. If you are need to my blogs, you should check it in the link above this image.

Haden and his over his mommy's shoulder, often a baby's favorite place to be.

Ali is now six-months old is this image. Isn't she even more adorable now than she was 3-months ago?

Okay, that's one more session completely edited and ready for client viewing. Believe it or not, I am getting closer and closer to being caught up! Yea!

TWO FOR ONE SALE AGAIN?

CARLEY AND COLTON... This is Carley (three months) and Baby Colton (newborn-2 wks...I think) that I just posted with the baseball images. Colton's mommy saw my for TWO FOR ONE SALE post that I had of baby Ali and her new baby cousin, Hayden. Carley and Colton are also cousins so Colton's mommy wanted something similiar. Well, it was like I said before, if we planned on getting those images with both babies asleep at the same time, it would not have happended. Baby Carley and Baby Colton proved this theory. It is so much harder getting older babies (older than 3 wks) asleep...at least so alseep that they aren't easily woke up. Which is what happend to Carley. Though this part of the session was a bit of a challenge, but I knew it would be special to their grandmother as well as their moms, so I stayed patient and it paid off. Though I don't have them both alseep, I think these are priceless and I would treasure these images, if I were their grandmother or anyone in their family.

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER...

Carley was much too curious about what was going on to sleep. And as you can see, Colton could care less. (LOL)
Don't you love this inquisitive look?



Carley was looking so sweet and beautiful. I just had to zoom in and get a few of this beautiful face and I love that I captured that curious expression again.
Is she not a doll!
So that's the TWO FOR ONE SALE again. A little different, but still precious!

TWO FOR ONE SALE...

TWO BABIES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE. NO NOT REALLY.

SCROLL DOWN AND READ ON...

I RE-ADDED THIS IMAGE BECAUSE I WANTED IT TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO APPEAR WITH THIS POST. THE INFORMATION ABOUT IT IS LISTED BELOW. I HAD TO RE-DO THE NEXT IMAGE AND WHEN I REPLACED IT WITH THE EDITED IMAGE THE BLOG PUTS IT AT THE TOP. WELL, IT DOESN'T EXACTLY GO WITH MY 2/1 SALE. LOL

Okay, I found an error on this earlier. If you recently viewed the blog you may or may not have caught it. But since I can not figure out how to replace a particular image rather than deleting it and then adding the new one. Of course, when you add the new one it brings it to the top, not where you were wanting it to appear. I caught a typo in the text of the quote that I used for this image. I had "The" rather "There". So now this image will appear first...unless I add the other one again...that's what I will do. Can see that I am thinking as I post?

TWO FOR ONE SALE? WELL, NOT REALLY...BUT WHEN THE BRAND NEW COUSIN ONLY DAYS OLD SHOWED UP WITH ALI TO DO HER PORTRAITS, I COULDN'T RESIST THESE POSES...

Double Trouble for these babies grandmother and double the LOVE!

This is 3-month old Ali and her brand new baby cousin, Hayden, 11 days old.
Isn't she the cutest little butter ball...
It is so hard to keep those hands out of their mouth once they discover them.



Ali trying so hard to hold her head up. It is just such hard work being a baby!
One last one with both babies!
TO ALI'S MOMMY: There's many more good ones. I just wanted to pick out a few to wet your appetite. What do you think? Your mom is gonna love these of the two babies, uh?

Baby Lydia Three Month Old (almost 4 mos.)

BABY LYDIA
(COLOR VERSION ABOVE BLACK & WHITE BELOW)

I don't know which I prefer...what do you think?

One with the bonnet...
This should have been Lydia's 3 month portrait session. Her mommy is trying to keep up with them like she did for her older sister. But we all know it is so much harder when you have the 2nd baby (for obvious reasons...now you have two to care for). But since Lydia is almost 4 months, she could hold her head up...her sister didn't do that, uh?
Isn't she a cutie with those big blue eyes? She had really filled out since I last saw her. I will try to go back and post a few from her newborn session. It was done before I started posting regular sessions.
I love these big eyes!

And guess who this is? Lydia's sister, Laurel, photographed about 3 years ago.
They are wearing the same Christening dress. Their mommy wore it and so did her mommy. What a great heirloom to cherish along with beautiful baby portraits wearing it.
Laurel in her blue dress~~
Laurel discovering her hand :)
This is Lydia again...Love those early baby expressions~
That it for now for Baby Lydia and her sister Laurel (3 yrs ago).

MY LAST PORTRAIT SESSION

Aren't these the cutest brothers?

This is my most recent session (yesterday). I have tons ahead of them, but as I scanned through them, I fell in love with these images as well as these boys. They are all boy, but also as sweet as they can be. They reminded me of days when my son was a little boy...that is when he wasn't exerting his strong-will, he was as sweet and loving as he could be. (lol)

Baby Jared (4 mos.)

the oldest, Nicholas (8 yrs. old)

and the middle child, Cane (5 years old)
Have you ever seen any cuter little boys? Well, if you said yes, I am sure you have boys of your own. The middle boy, Cane, reminds me so much of my little cutie nephew, Dalton. Dalton has brown hair, but his eyes and dimples were almost duplicated in this child.

a close-up of the baby...

Cotton field portraits...I love them!

I love this one in the long horizontal crop. What mom wouldn't love this image of her boys. I know from personal experience that mothers love images of their children that we them looking "loving" towards each other, especially because they are usally fighting. But we all know that deep down they love each other. (at least we hope and pray that they do...)

These brothers were particularing fond of their baby brother. Older siblings can make a baby laugh like no one else can!
That is when they aren't in front of the camera too!

Not a big smile on Baby Jared, but a sweet pleasant overall expression from all three children---that's every photographer's desire when it comes to photographing two or more children in a group.

A little different twist in the color and tone of this image. I think Mom will like this. She mentioned really liking a spepia-toned image that is on display in my studio. Cane and Nicholas were telling their baby brother all about cotton. I don't know for sure, but this is probaby his first time to see cottton, but all he really wanted to was put it in his mouth!

I hope you enjoyed these as much as I do. If you know anything about me, I have become most known my fine baby portraitrue (especially newborns) thank's to my good friend and local OB/GYN, my newborn work has continued to grow tremendously the last few years. From time to time, it is refreshing to do something different!. And fun to show that yes, I do do other work too. I often get asked if I only photographs babies. At one time I considered specializing exclusively in infants, but since then I have changed my mind (at least for now)...though babies are still my favorite and I think always will be. I think I have always loved babies and baby stuff. It was so fun when my babies were little dressing them in cute baby clothes , blankets and such...now I have so much fun "playing baby doll" with my little Natalie (my 27 month old granddaughter). And as long as I continue to do what I do, I get to keep playing.
