I just love little girls who look like there daddy, but what I love even more are little girls who adore their daddies and vice versa! The sweetness that I get to witness as a photographer is so precious. "Thank you, God, for giving me this job."
When you look at this beautiful face you certainly understand why.
Notice how serious she is in the photo above. I only got this one photo after we changed outfit. She was just not a happy camper any longer. She was tired and sleepy...no mood to be photographed.
So to accommodate baby, I offered to split these session up so that she would be happier. I occassionally work on Saturday mornings. I decided this should be one of those times so that Dream's mommy could get the family/relationship images she so desired. Between my schedule and construction on my home/business it was exactly a month later before I got her back in the studio. I think the timing of the day and her age was just perfect this time.
Dream and her Mommy
Dream and her Daddy
All three relating as a family should...lots of love and laughter!
Gotta love a happy baby, huh?
Don't you want to just pinch those checks?
A Family Storyboard: 
This is one of those families I have watched grow (in photographs). I photographed Dream's mommy (Danielle) several years ago for her senior portraits. Then a few years later I met her daddy during the engagement session. A few weeks later I photographed their wedding at Eola Hotel. As a photographer, it is neat to watch families grow and change like this.
As many of you know, I am fading away from digital slideshows as my proofing or preview of images from a portrait session. I have not quit 100%, but for the most part I am putting most session online for the families to preview their portraits. In this particular case, I did not do online proofing because they do not have internet or computer access. Which does seem strange to those of us who live on our computer, but it is still common for some people. I have ordered a digital preview album for Little Miss Dream's family, but I still wanted to post these on the blog to share with you (my bog regulars) and for those who may know her family. I purposely do not always include first names and last names for just a little privacy for those involved...of course, in the case of birth annoucements (posted recently), I have included all the information. I hope that's okay. I considered blotting some of it out, but it just looked tacky when I did. I know that the internet is not always the safest place for "too much" information about someone, but overall I think it is okay (at least I hope so).
I hope you enjoyed viewing the images of Dream and the last few posts. I am working so hard to get at least half way caught up this week. Of course, everything else around me is upside down, but I do have the feeling of accomplishment and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
I have one more session that I hope to get finished today and uploaded. But then I will spend a few days doing some paper work and maybe some laundry (before we run out of towel...haha). I hope to be back at this pace next week. I would also like to make my annoucement by then too!
So stay tuned!

This is Baby Madilda. I recently ran across her images too while working on an order for her mommy. Isn't she just adorable. I love some of these newborn poses...some that you will never get again once she outgrows her newborn features.

The best things in life do not have a dollar sign on them!

Also scroll down to see another recent session that I just now finished. And stay tuned, I will be making an annoucement in the near future about changes that I am working on for this coming fall.
Thanks for viewing!

The one above and below are my favorite images from this session.
This is another session that I am trying to catch up on. It really melts my heart to view these images again as I post them. I hope you've enjoyed viewing this sweet relationship too.~~jami~~
He was even a handsome newborn with his eyes open.
The Birth Annoucement
A Storyboard with Jaden and His Daddy
It really just doesn't get much sweeter than this.
In this session, I captured the essense of their relationship with their beautiful baby boy.
I had this ready to post before leaving for our vacation, but blogger was having some problems with some particular blogs and this was one of them. So I didn't get to finish the night before I left as I had intended.
I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed viewing them again.
Thanks for looking.

I photographed Bram last fall for his one-year portrait. His mommy recently made an order. So as I was getting ready to make their portrait order, I realized that I have not posted these yet. Isn't he just the cutest little one-year old boy?
He wasn't walking yet. He still thought crawling was a much faster way to go. I did get some images of him standing, but this was his mommy's favorite for a wall portrait.
I think this was one of my favorite images.
Keep looking I have more images to post soon.
...and images of children looking off (not so posed/not looking at the camera).
And for every untraditional image, we need a traditional one too (or two).
or three
Holding hands with Daddy again. There's just something so adorable about little girls and their daddies that is just so sweet that nothing else really compares. 
(The above image is my favorite from these images.)
Images like this always make great "the end" shots. 
Tori, believe it or not, I am working on these and I am almost through. I should post the rest of them online in the next day or so. Be looking for an email from me to let know when.
That's it for now. I have had a somewhat productive day. I have completed two sessions today and I am almost through with three. I do have to pause on all this editing to finish a few more orders as soon as possible that I am also behind on too. But I did feel compeled to work on this end today because you can't make an order if you don't see your images.
