Shirtless guy in jeans

He doesn’t exactly have a six-pack, though….

My adorable nephew

He was there for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, so of course I took a few pictures of him.

My mom is quite in love with his squishy chubbiness, as are the rest of us.

Sigh. I could just eat him up.

More to come of these five…

because I’m not done sorting through my session with them and their parents.  Here are a few, though.

I love this one of the sisters.

And doesn’t the little guy here just melt your heart?? So cute.

Miss D, in her German dress.

This poor photo blog has been neglected, oddly enough, because I’ve been so busy TAKING pictures! I don’t have any more sessions scheduled at the moment, though, so hopefully I’ll get a chance to catch up on editing and posting.

This little gal is wearing a dress from Germany, which her grandparents bought for her long, long ago. Well, three years ago!

Her mom wanted to make sure she documented D wearing this dress, so we did a little photo session on a warm day.

Little Poser

While I was taking pictures of my nephew recently, I also got a few of Zoe.

She was being awfully serious.

And she was doing a very classic photo-studio pose, all on her own.

and here’s a cheerful version!

I love this little face.

A few more of Miss C.

I had such a hard time picking out a few more of my favorites because there are so many I love from this session.

When I first started getting into photography, I really tried to avoid the sun.  I’m slowly getting over that, though, and I’m learning to use good sunlight to my advantage.  I kind of like the hazy effect in these first two images.

It’s so interesting how different the light is with just a small position change. Miss C is in the same spot here as she is in the previous photo…I just moved, and so the effect is completely different.

I love white dresses on little girls.

And because I can’t bear to do a post without a black and white, here’s one more image.

Happy Birthday, Miss C!

This morning, I had a photo session with a young client whose first birthday is right around the corner.

We met bright and early.

And it was quite a hazy and warm morning.

I love baby hands (I can still call her a baby, right? She’s not technically one yet).

And doesn’t she have an adorable little smile?

Of course, I can’t resist doing a few black and whites.

I’ve said this about Sonia before, but I think Miss C looks just like a perfect little doll too.

I’m still busy sorting through the mountain of pictures I took, and I’m thinking I might feel compelled to share at least one more post’s worth of her pictures before I’m done.

Bubbles are no good for eating.

I brought some bubbles along on Saturday for my photo session with this little guy and his family.

He was pretty fascinated with them.

And all was well, until he tried to eat them.

He decided that maybe wasn’t the best idea.

A few pictures from this morning’s session…

I thought that we weren’t going to be able to use my favorite dock at all because in order to avoid direct sunlight at this time of year, you have to arrive there at some ungodly hour. Happily, though, we got partly cloudy skies this morning, and we got to use my beloved pier.
