Squish Monster

OK- is this not one of the cutest kids you've ever seen?  Seriously-  it's all I can do not to pinch his little cheeks when he grins at me with that little dimple and babbles in his little 2-year-old gravely voice.  This little man is "G" and he is even more adorable in real life than he is in these pictures.  He is a little bit trouble maker, a little bit sweet, a little bit snakes, a little bit snails, and a little bit puppy dog tails.  We had fun together playing with his school bus but he definitely made me work a little bit for those smiles... but it's OK- I'll have plenty of practice with him.

Ahhhh newborns

I just was reminiscing about having a newborn in the house (because my 8 month old is too big for me now)   :) and so I thought I'd post a few of my favorite newborn session pictures...  Here's the first one- more to follow.  I just love the LOVE that you can feel from Mommy and Daddy when they're holding their little brand new baby girl.  Man, it's an awesome feeling!

Baby "M"

Little baby "M" was only a few days old when I was lucky enough to capture his sweet little face on camera.  His mommy and I have been friends since we were practically babies ourselves and I love her to pieces.  Little "M" is just as sweet as his mommy and couldn't look any cuter in the little baskets and blankets we had him in (even if one of the blankets had a Steelers logo ;).

Along for the shoot was little "M"'s big brother, "K" and daddy too.   I grabbed a few shots of  daddy and "K"  before they left for park and had a great visit with just my old friend and her new bambino.  Needless to say, "M" is the perfect addition to a wonderful family.

Wow- over a year later, much?

I can't believe it's been over a year since I blogged last...  So much has happened in the past year- I, uh, started a blog, I had my 4th baby in July, my oldest baby started kindergarten, my second baby started preschool, I've built my portfolio up (while putting my business on hold), started a job with Bella Baby Photography... and that's not even touching my husband's crazy schedule! 

My New Year's resolution (3 months late) is to blog more often so here it goes!  I'm going to start by posting some photos that I've taken over the past year.  I've had the pleasure of photographing beautiful babies, fascinating families, loving couples, and a lot of things in between.  I love the view I see from behind my camera and I love the people I capture even more.  Let the barrage begin...
