Mia

admin — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 22:42:14 +0000

It's shoots like these that make me pray I have a little girl one day - Mia was such a smiley happy little girl, and that dress - come on! Cutest. Ever.

I'm going to start and end the post with two of my favorites from the day - can you even get over this tooth-less smile??? Cause I can't!

Lovin' life, just hanging out in a big ball of pink ruffles.

That dress! Loved it.

As soon as Christine (mom) would pick her up, she was all smiles:)

Mia was NOT a fan of the flower headband, but we managed to keep it on long enough for a few pictures:

I think it should be a rule that EVERY little girl needs to have a cherry dress. Every single one. So cute!

I always put my lens hoods on when I'm shooting little babies - they love to grab it when I'm shooting!

Aaaand my 2nd favorite, just hanging out with dad - how pretty does she look? Those eyes! She's gonna be a heartbreaker:)

Thanks guys! Had a blast hanging out for the morning:)

Braydon: One Year Old

Yesterday morning I got to hang out with this little guy:

Note to self, if I have a little boy one day, I have to dress him up in a button down shirt and sweater vest. It's a must. So adorable!

Braydon turned one year old a few days ago, so we decided it would be a good idea to give him a piece of his birthday cake - let me tell you, I've never seen a baby so intense with a piece of cake. It was HILARIOUS watching him eat it, and I couldn't stop laughing while I was editing these pictures:)

It started out pretty normal:

Getting a little more intense.....those eyes are saying "hey lady with the camera, don't get in my way....I've got important business to take care of":

Braydon doesn't need an oxygen mask, just a piece of cake to breath into:)

He didn't take his hands away from his face until every last bit was gone:

I agree buddy, I'd be smiling this big if I inhaled that piece of cake too:)

Thanks Lisa and Kris! It was a great morning hanging out, can't wait to do it again!

Lee: 6 Months

Cutest. Face. Ever.

Isn't he the cutest little guy? This is Lee. I documented his newborn session back in July, so of course I had to visit the Coombs again for his 6 month milestone:) I think Lee is the smiley-est (that's a word, right?) baby ever - it was non-stop smiles ever since he woke up from his nap:)

How cute are these boots? John Deere cowboy boots? Love it!

We tried getting some nice shots of Lee in his farm t-shirt and cowboy boots, but he was too busy for me and had other important business to attend to:

Don't you just want to pick him up and squeeze him??

His faces are too much - I wonder what he is thinking here....(probably thinking "when is this weird lady going to get this thing out of my face?")

So smiley!

Lee, just hanging out with mom

Playing a little airplane with mom and dad:)

Thanks guys! Can't wait to be there for his one year mark:)

The Colsons

Right after I got back from vacation this past weekend I had the pleasure of driving out to South Jersey to take some more pictures for the Colson sisters. At this point they're all married and don't have the last name of Colson anymore, but they'll always be the Colson family to me:) Both Sarah and Mary are pregnant right now, so along with the pictures of the kids, they wanted some pictures of the two of them.....since you never know if they'll both be pregnant at the same time again! I thought that was such a fun idea, and it's a great period of their lives to document. Here are all the Colson sisters: Mary (left), Dawn (middle) and Sara (right)

Mary and Dawn are the fabulous sisters behind A Garden Party - they do amazing work with flowers, and bring a fun, fresh feel to the floral industry....I highly recommend them for any of your events!

This is Sara's daughter Annabelle - we tried to have her play with this pretty yellow tulip for our photoshoot:

But she was much more interested in picking up rocks in the dirt:

And carrying around as many as she could hold in her tiny little hands:)

And here are a few of Sara and her family:

Doesn't Sara's dress look amazing against the yellow flowers and green grass? I loved it! Great location choice Mary!

And of course I had to snag some pictures of Dawn's two girls too - they are SO cute, and so easy to photograph.....I'm spoiled when it comes to taking pictures of them!

I just love Grace, and I can already predict what she will be when she grows up. If she isn't a party of A Garden Party, she will be a model - as soon as I start taking pictures of her she moves into all kinds of fun poses and works the camera all on her own:

I think we have another budding florist on our hands:)

I LOVED this picture when I first saw it - she has such a sweet look on her face while she is holding her little flower, and it looks like she is imitating Mary and Sara by holding her little belly:

Look how sweet Annabelle looks sitting in the middle of the flower field - she really loved it!

And here are the two pregnant sisters!

I loved this shot:

And lastly, there isn't anything special or amazing about this picture, but I just loved it, because it's all the Colsons just strolling along together.....they're just such a great family and I love them all! The only one that was missing was Mary's husband John - but don't worry, you'll see some pictures of John and Mary in the near future:)
