“Children often have imaginary playmates.  I suspect that half of them are really their guardian angels.” 

~Eileen Elias Freeman

What a fun and giggly bunch this sweet little baby was born into!  These kiddos know how to have fun, and photographing them loving on their new little sis was a magical time. Mom has these gorgeous, soft and fluffy angel wings for her sweets, perfectly fitting as her name is Halo (can you see the stone angel statue just behind her?). A guardian angel watching over this new little one and her cutie siblings…:)

We also were able to photograph the kiddos on this amazing and colorful quilt made by their grandmother, who also makes the most soft minky blankets (little miss is snuggled in a pink and brown one below). My kiddos simply adore theirs as they are sooo comfy!

Thanks so much for a wonderful session, E family!

These two sweets have a special place in my heart. I have had the pleasure of photographing them so many wonderful times–when big sis was a newborn, in between, as she was to become a big sis, little sissy’s birth, newborn and lots more. Sooo precious, these two, and I simply love their mama, too.  Such a fun sesh!

I had a blast meeting new clients and seeing returning faces during the recent Urban Sweetie mini sessions! This doll was a natural in front of the camera and was the perfect model. Her mama ordered a 30×40 canvas of the fun {LOVE} shot and I can’t wait for her to see it! I sent her this comparison of three different sizes using the awesome Photographer Wall Display Guides from Ariana Falerni Design.  I just love these for showing clients what different canvas sizes will look like on their walls.

“That’s what makes it so right. Your eyes– your soul is there, but the rest of you is still so undefined. That’s the beauty of childhood. The eyes show everything you’ve seen so far, but the rest of you is still so open to possibility, to whatever you might become.”

I just love this sweet little number from the talented Heather of laken & lila. So lovely in its vintage cuteness.  Addie felt so comfortable in it and had a blast running around pushing this old toy. I loved the little smile on her face as she pushed it–I would have thought it was too young a toy for an almost-three-year-old, but it brought such joy! Oh, and don’t you simply ahhh-dore that cute little pink wooden camera? Yep, I kind of have a problem with little camera props. The kids are in love with it, though, and have been posing and photographing their stuffed animals in all the best-lit places in the house.
