A Smashing Good Time!

I can’t believe it. Miss A is already a year old!! We had her birthday session here in the studio. I think that she was anxious to get back to her birthday party because she wasn’t terribly interested in having her picture taken. But we did find a few things that caught her fancy.

Like my pushing around my new little red chair…

 

Chair + Lens Cap = Happy Miss A!

I hope someone got her a chair for her Birthday

This? This is when my heart stopped.

So! Moving on! 

To take her mind off the chair mom brought out the cake.

Is this more fun than a chair?

Yes, even better than a chair.

But do you want to know what is even better than cake? Take a look at this:

Happy Birthday Miss A!

Back in the Saddle!

For those of you who don’t live close enough to hear my screaming, I will tell you that it has been quite a week around here. I had an opportunity to test my photo backup system for the first time, and can happily report that it works great! There were a few tense days waiting for the back-up to be restored, but all of the photos (yours and mine) were safe and sound. And now it’s back to play… er work!

And look at the cutie I got to play with! This little girlie is 4 months old and I had so much fun with her and her family. I was laughing so hard it’s a wonder that any of the pictures turned out!

What fun! I can’t wait to see this munchkin grow up. I bet she’ll have some super cool dance moves. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by!

A nice way to spend a hot summer morning

I had a session with a new baby yesterday. Well, new to me. She is actually 8 months old and was just the perfect age for portraits. She was sitting up and full of personality, but not crawling yet. We were planning an outdoor shoot, but since it was 105 yesterday we moved it inside.

 

Such a sweet smile

And did I mention the big blue eyes?!

She wasn't too sure about the chair... maybe next time!

I’m so glad that we didn’t try and brave the heat at the Arboretum — although this girl would probably even look cute sweaty!
