Mariah- Monte Vista Senior

Mariah is drop-dead gorgeous, don’t you think?  This shoot was so much fun to do because of her easy going personality and natural tendency to smile.  We used a variety of locations around Monte Vista, none of which disappointed us. 

Baby Bella–9 months

This shoot happened last month, but better late than never, right?

Baby Bella is my first repeat baby.  Remember her newborn shoot?  I had a blast with her family and am happy with the results.

The weather ended up being a little breezy and Bella was not impressed with the cold. 



She was much happier once we moved to the studio.




A big thank you to Tiffanie and Robert for letting me be a part of this fun!

Baby Miles

Baby Miles was almost six weeks old when we did this shoot.  That is definitely not a newborn, when it comes to a photo session.  He was quite alert and awake for most of it, although Mom did manage to get him to sleep for a few shots. 

Thank you to Ashley and Eric for letting me be part of this.  Miles is absolutely adorable!

Baby Noah- six months

Baby Noah is Baby Lenix’s six month old cousin and he was just as cute and cooperative!  I just want to squish his little cheeks!

I had just returned from a trip to Boston and made this little monkey hat on the airplane on the way home.

The trusty Tonka truck works for babies of all sizes!

Daddy is a hunter so Mom wanted to humor him with this little outfit.  So cute!

Baby Lenix-six months

This little guy had just turned six months and shared a photo shoot with his also six month old cousin.  I LOVE his hair; it reminds me of a duckling.  He also has some of the greatest expressions!

This was my first time photography a baby this age and it was so much fun!  I was also trying out my new Canon Speedlight 580X.

For this next one, he thought the crunching leaves was the funniest thing ever!

Lenix’s family is very lucky to have such a cute, happy baby!

The Hoover Family

This shoot took place on two different days.  The first day was crazy windy and cold and it was hard for the kids to not look like they were freezing.  We ended up doing a few more inside a couple of weeks later, plus a couple more outside since it wasn’t as cold as the first day.  What a great family this is.

How do you get your brother to smile?

Tickle him!!

Thank you, Hoovers, for your cooperation and patience!

Ashley’s Maternity Shoot

Ashley is my friend, neighbor and a fellow yoga instructor.  We did these photos in her yard and it turned out to be the perfect setting.  

Ashley loves horses and is still riding.  This is totally her element.

This is my favorite.  It is so tender and sweet!

Aaaand, what would an evening session with me be without a silhouette shot?

Ashley, thanks for being so patient while I worked on these!
