Amazingly energetic!  There’s no other way to describe this utterly cute little man.   Can  you tell from the shots that he was super excited about his lovies?   This weekend was the Sottile family’s photo shoot.  I’ve been lucky enough to take pictures of this little guy since he was just a baby and it is so fascinating to watch him grow up!

For the first time in months the alarm clock woke me up first this morning.  Normally it’s the sound of Elizabeth crying that wakes me up… but this morning started a new routine.  Back to school.  How did the summer end so quickly!?!?! 

Anyone else feel like the time has gone too fast!  This morning Emma was clearly excited and nervous to be starting first grade.  When I whipped out the camera – oh how embarassing, I’m sure – in front of her friends I got some eye rolling action from her.  Last year it was exciting and fun to have Mommy out at the bus stop with her… and now I’m the embarassing Mom with a camera.  LoL – I guess she’ll just have to get used to it because I’m not putting my camera away anytime soon.  Miss a single moment of firsts for my children?  I wouldn’t dream of it.  ;)

Introducing the littlest Troup – Quincy was so adorable!  This little guy was having a rough day, not that you could tell from his happy little smile!  Babies smiles can just melt your worries away, can’t they? 

Ever want to take your own family portraits?  Everyone does and let’s face it – you can’t always have a professional photographer hanging around your home for those magical moments that popup everyday.  I recently wrote an article for BabyGizmo about just this issue.  Click here to read the whole article!

Excitment is the name of the game for the Tritt family at the moment!  They are not only expecting their very first baby, but also in the process of remodeling their home!!  Congrats to the Tritt family!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anticipation fills the air for the Zimmerman family as it is about to get one person bigger!!  Boy or girl – we don’t know yet!!  Talk about an exciting moment when they find out!!!  Congrats to the Zimmermans!!!

Saturday I had a great phoot shoot with the Ross family at Our Lady of the Snows.  These two little ones were filled with energy and excitement.  And this little boy lovingly held his sisters hand with distinct big boy brotherly protection.  Thanks to the Ross Family for a great morning!

This weekend I had the chance to photograph quite the little bombshell, Alex.  Talk about cute! 

At the end of the week I had the best luck!  I was able to do a photo shoot with the Stephens family at my very, hands down, favorite spot!  Admittedly, I would have preferred uncut grass for that earthy feel, but as it turns out the shots were great!  I love shooting at the brink of dawn or right before sunset… the light is just so nice!  Thanks so much Stephens Family!!!
