Getting Bigger

It's been about 8 months since I had last seen this little one and he's changed quite a bit. Last time we couldn't get him to crack a smile and this time he gave quiet a few.

A new little guy

Not too much sleeping going on with this little dude but he was great at eye contact with the camera. Just look how he was working it.


Ok, so a little sleeping....after we tired him out:)















Check out those cute little lips

The biggest smile ever

This little one has a smile that could light up an entire city. Mackenzie went with me to help out on this shoot and just fell in love with her and her big smile and sparkly eyes. Totally adorable!

Hope you enjoy the sneak peek:)

Pregnancy

It's a beautiful thing. I did not take being pregnant too kindly. I didn't like the sickness, the bigness, the uncomfortableness, the feeling like it was going to go on forever. I always couldn't wait to have my body back. And I certainly never felt beautiful while pregnant. But being on the other side of the lens -- and especially seeing a mom for her maternity pictures and then meeting the new little one shortly after for newborn pictures -- has really made me see a different side to the "look" of pregnancy. I see these moms-to-be in a different light and I wish I would have embraced it a little more. They're really beautiful.

The first picture is of my husband's sister. She is due in March and our entire family is already over the moon for her little one. She is their long awaited first baby and is sure to be rotten. Everywhere we go (especially my girls) we find things that she just has to have, or would look adorable in. And I can't wait for the pictures sessions we get to do!

The next mom-to-be is kind of like my long, lost business builder. I kept getting people referred to me from their friend or co-worker but they would mention that she had never actually met me but would show them my website and put in a good word. So it was a pleasure to finally meet the person that was so wonderful about pushing my business when she didn't even know me first hand. When she mentioned the people that she had referred I was like "Oh, YOU'RE the one. Thanks for all the referrals!"

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek....and you'll definitely be getting some credits for those referrals:)

Newborn Girl

She is so petite and adorable. We wore her down after a while and then she slept like a champ.


Dad is a Met's fan and she looks pretty happy to go along with that.







Can't remember for sure but I *think* that one of the grandparents is in broadcasting so mom had this brilliant idea that we just had to get.

A Really Big Family Shoot

The grown kids in this family bought their parents a Studio Bloom Photography gift certificate for Christmas 2008. Well, do you know how hard it is to coordinate a photo shoot for that many adults? Very, very hard! We rescheduled several times so we were all ecstatic that we were finally able to meet up a little over a year later. It was pretty cold this day but there was no other option but to just get it done. They were very fun and I can only imagine a holiday at their house.

Hope you enjoy the peek:)

New Little Guy

I loved this little guy's extra wrinkly skin and I imagine that by the next time I see him he will have filled it all out:(

He was pretty easy-going and let us try lots of different things...gotta love that! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek J & J.

Let's just say...

that this little guy's bodily functions are in check and working:) I've only had 1 newborn EVER that didn't use the restroom on a parent, me, a blanket, etc.... but I'd much rather have to deal with a little #1 and #2 than to look back at a diaper with a character on it in the picture. Luckily we did the pictures in their home so his parents had access to other clothes because he did decide to initiate them during the shoot.

Hope you guys enjoy the peek:)

Big Sister, Little Sister

What started out scheduled as a newborn shoot became an 8-week-old shoot. We had to reschedule so many times that I actually lost track....bad weather, bad weather, I had a sick kid, Christmas holidays, weather, etc....

I was so relieved when I actually saw them face-to-face and knew we were going to get those pictures taken!



Big sister is so good with her. Love the details in this series of 4 pics. Check out the hands, the smiles, the looks...so cute together.
