Addy’s 1 Year Shoot

Since I was down in North Carolina for an entire week last week, we managed to squeeze in Addy's 1 year photoshoot (on MY birthday!) - so glad we were able to fit that in! She's such a little nugget, these pictures just make me want to eat her up:)

 

Addy and her mommy, so cute:)

 

Look at those little teeth! I die:)

 

Mike came about half way through the shoot when he got off of work - no one gets more smiles than her daddy, here is Addy seeing Mike drive up:)

 

So precious.

 

How great of a family photo is this?? And how cute are little baby sweater dresses:)

 

One of my favorites:)

 

Wouldn't every girl love to have a picture of her and her dad like this? Mike is such a great daddy:)

 

Photo on the left? I LOVE AUNT TINA'S LIPGLOSS!

Photo on the right? I'm pissed at Aunt Tina, she took my lipgloss away.

 

Ahh! Favorite number 2! Such a little nug:)

 

Family snuggles:)

 

She's juuuust about to walk on her own:)

 

Favorite #3!

 

Next we plopped her on the curb (hilarious, she just sat there babbling away to herself) while I got some shots of Jess and Mike:)

Sidenote: she was not sitting on the edge of a street, this was in a parking lot with approximately 5 cars parked - I feel like this could look dangerous if you didn't know where we were:)

 

 

Still can't believe Addy is 1 year old already!

This might be my favorite blog post in a long time! Jess, you look gorgeous & I love your outfit. And baby Addy could be a model! She’s so happy. Great job Tin :)

Oh my word. These are ALL so adorable. I can’t believe she is already a year old. Happy birthday Addy! …Now I have to figure out how I can get you to come here and the same for us :)

So adorable! I am in love with these photos and with this family. <3 Beautiful job, Tina and I miss you, Mike, Jess & Addy!

Can they all be my favorite!?! Absolutely awesome — can’t believe she is one already!

Sarah - February 3, 2012 - 10:22 am

There is an insane amount of cuteness here that I just can’t handle. I’ll refrain from making a comment about every picture! Gorgeous family :)

Jess - February 3, 2012 - 9:32 am

WOW! I love, love, love them all! I was smiling the whole time I was going through them :) I love that one of her on the curb; that was hilarious! I am so grateful to have a lot of wonderful family shots and pics of Addy around her first birthday. Thank you a million times!

OMGGGGGG she is adorable!! The ones of just her and daddy are my favorites…I’m a total daddy’s girl :D

Oh. My. Goodness. She is precious. I love the lipgloss ones!! And that gummy smile is so darn cute!!

Sam David

See what I mean about baby mania lately? It seems like there are TONS of people having babies this time of year! I was SO excited to head down to my good friend Mary's house this past week, to meet 5 day old Sam David, the newest addition to their family. Sam is their 2nd son, and he is SUCH a cutie pie. It's so amazing seeing Mary as a mom, she's such a natural:)

Even though I was just heading down to visit Mary and the baby, I couldn't resist throwing my camera in my purse. And a swaddle wrap. And a cute hat. You know, just in case:) We had an impromptu QUICK session before I left, here are some of my favorites:)

Look at that dark hair! Mary said that's what surprised her the most:

Can anyone resist a little bear hat? I can not!

The beautiful momma:)

Eee! Look at those tiny fingers:)

His hair is wild, and I love it:)

Lee jumped in for a few:

If this one doesn't just make your heart full, I don't know what does:)

Mary, you're such a beautiful person, inside and out. I'm so glad I get to call you one of my friend, and it's been so fun watching you and your family grow.....here's to many, many more sessions!:)

PS - I love that Lee now associates me with taking his picture - as soon as I walked in the door he said "do you want to take my picture??"  Haha why YES Lee, yes I do:)

What a beautiful little guy! I love him! Mary, you look amazing (as always) and Lee looks so excited to have a new brother. Great pictures documenting an awesome time in your life!

Amanda - January 21, 2012 - 10:24 pm

Is that your same friend who looked SO amazing 9mo pregnant? As I was scrolling, I was thinking cute… cute… cute… but when I got to the ones of the three of them on the bed, I about died. I live for photos like those. The hz wide shots with Teddy are my absolute FAVORITES! Great job Tina!

Diane Kersey - January 21, 2012 - 10:58 am

I love these pictures! What a beautiful little family. I can’t wait to meet Sam in person. He’s so tiny. Tina, you take the most beautiful pictures I’ve ever seen!

Donna Coombs - January 20, 2012 - 2:53 pm

Simply amazing!!!!! Sam looks like a little pea in a pea pod all wrapped up in the green blanket! My favorite is the “kiss trifecta” as Mary calls it…..simply amazing!!

Mary - January 20, 2012 - 12:24 pm

THANK YOU so much! And I thought you were just stopping by to visit, sneaky sneaky Tina! I adore the kiss trifecta shot and his crazy hair too! Will surely be adding these to my Tina Jay gallery all around my home <3 Love you!

Dawn - January 20, 2012 - 11:30 am

OMG Tina – how do you do that???? These pictures are all soooo amazing!!! Love them!

Sarah - January 20, 2012 - 11:27 am

Gaahh!!! He looks so cute in that cacoon of a blanket (and def the bear hat)! LOVE the pictures with Mary, Lee and Sam. You seriously capture some amazing moments. AND Sam’s eyes… they’re open! Can’t wait to see him awake very soon :)

Amanda Young - January 20, 2012 - 11:23 am

So sweet! I love the one of her kissing Lee while holding the baby. :) And, little baby fingers are THE CUTEST.

Baby Morgan

I was so thrilled to hear that Karen & Byron had a baby girl! I shot their maternity session in early December, just two weeks before Morgan was born:) I was so excited when they contacted me for newborn photos also....any excuse to hold little bitty babies, and I'm in:) Here is Morgan, just three weeks old:

 

So precious.

 

The glowing parents:)

 

Photos of daddies with their little baby girls are some of my favorites:)

 

Karen is a natural:)

 

Look at those lips! So cute:)

 

I die. Is that hat not the best?? It's a recent purchase of mine on Etsy, I was so glad I got to use it:)

 

I got a little smile out of her!

 

Then we had some fun with a Santa hat, and a duck outfit....why not, right?

Thank you guys, for inviting me back to shoot Morgan's newborn photos! She's the cutest:)
