Meet my new nephew, Cyrus.  Lucky boy was born 1/1/11.  Rockin’ birthday right?  I don’t think it will be hard for anyone to remember.

He experienced the first of many photo shoots with his Auntie Lee when he was only five days old.  He has no clue what he is in for.  Poor kid.

I rarely do newborn pictures.  But I have to say I love baby hands and feet.  It is hard to believe we were all tiny at one point.
He has the sweetest little kissable lips.  And I love how sweetly he puts his hand up by his head.  Isn’t he a doll?Welcome to the world sweet babe.  You are in for quite the ride in our family.  Love you.  Auntie Lee.

I had the most delightful Thanksgiving.  Full of many things to be grateful for.  I loved that we had tons of snow for Thanksgiving.  I think this was my first white Thanksgiving ever.  And probably my last.  This year was somewhat of a novelty.  As I reflected on my blessings my family was at the top of my list of things to be grateful for.  And then I went through a variety of other things, but I have to admit that my clients are pretty high up there.  They bless my life in so many ways.  I am so blessed to get to meet all sorts of wonderful people and call them my friend.  I am allowed into their homes, I am blessed to sneak a peek into their lives and see them for the wonderful people that they are.  And capture their sweet moments.  I love my job.  :)

Now on to the reason you are here.  To see the pictures.  :)  Lauren emailed me way back in July to do her maternity pictures for her sweet baby boy who will be making his arrival in just a few weeks.  I always love it when clients are already thinking months in advance.  :)

First some pictures of Lauren.  She looks beautiful!

And then a few of Jonathan and Lauren.  I love, love, love shooting people in their element.  I feel like it captures a little bit of who they are.  And they were so great to let me move things around, open blinds and get the right light.  And then we had to get a few with the big sister.  Isn’t she adorable?And like all little girls, she needed a few shots of her own.  And then we finished with a nice family portrait of this adorable family!Thank you for allowing me capture your life.

I will admit it, I am WAY behind on my blogging.  I am attempting to make it up.  I hate to miss a session on my blog.  So you might be seeing pictures that are well over a month old.  But I love my clients and want them to have their time to shine, so I am going backwards and catching up.  And I really need to be a better blogger.  I know, I say that all of the time.  But I am really working on it!

The *R* Family won my giveaway right after I moved back to the Tri-Cities.  I had so much fun getting to know them and really enjoyed their family session.  I loved watching them interact and their boys are the cutest kids ever.  We were lucky to have a warm fall day for their pictures.  I am missing that weather.  But alas winter is encroaching on us.  And did I just say alas?  I am letting my inner nerd shine through or something.

Back to the pictures.  Love this family.  I feel so blessed to know the people I do, and to photograph the amazing families.

The beautiful *R* Family.

These little boys melt my heart.  I love their personalities.I believe all couples need pictures together.  It is so important to celebrate your marriage and your relationship.  And one more of their beautiful family!Thanks for spending a morning with crazy me!

Sweet Baby Liam, only 8 days old.

So little, so precious.

I was very excited to take Liam’s baby pictures, especially since his sweet Mom happens to be my best friend.  He was sweet and mellow and ready for his photo shoot.  I think I was more excited to meet him, than he was to meet me.

He started out very sleepy.IMG_1164 web
And then we took his clothes off.  He even smiled a little, I think he liked being naked.IMG_1216 webThen it was back to sleep for just a minute.IMG_1239 web
And then he woke up.  Wide eyed and ready to take it all in.  I loved all of the great eye contact.IMG_1297 web

Check out this beautiful little girl. She has grown quite a bit since August when I took her newborn pictures. And here are just a few of my favorites so far.

I had the privilege to be this sweet baby boy’s photographer for his first of many photo shoots. And to have him be my first shoot of 2009. I am so lucky! He was a dream. And makes ever mother wish for a sweet babe like this one. At only four days old he is quite the model. Congratulations on your new addition.
