Wow – Ms {C} is already a year old!!! Where has the time gone???  My little girl is growing up so fast.  For my clients that hear me talk about her all the time – this is my BABY!  I had all these grand ideas about what I wanted to do for her 1 year old session.  Well, she wanted NOTHING to do with it.  Every time I put a hat on her head, she pulled it off.  Every time I sat her down, she stood up and walked away.  I put a cake in front of her, just just poked at it and got up to leave.  She cracked me up!  Even though I didn’t get exactly what I wanted we still go some GREAT shots and they are all her.  Here are some photos from our session this weekend.  Isn’t she such a cutie pie….okay I may be a bit biased here.  Hehe.

Well, 2011 has come to an end.  Wow, it went by fast!  I have had the pleasure of photographing this little one as a newborn with my first session of the year, so it is only fitting that I end my year with her cake smash session!  She is such a doll and I am really going to miss seeing her throughout the next year.  As much as I love watching “MY” babies grow up – I really do miss them once they are out of the “Watch Me Grow” program.  Anyway, here is my last session of 2011 and one of my favorite little girls!

Miss {A} is growing up on me WAY too fast!!!  Her Mom was saying that it seems like they were just calling me to schedule her newborn photos – I agree.  Where does the time go?  I just LOVE my Watch Me Grow babies – it is so much fun to see them grow and change from visit to visit.  Miss {A} is now 6 months old and is sitting on her own and getting ready to crawl any day.  Watch out Mom and Dad – they get FAST really quick!!  Haha.  Anyway, here are a few photos from our recent session.  She was so much fun, smiling and laughing the entire time.  Such a joy to work with!!!

I was working on a different session this morning and realized I never blogged about this family.  Well, it was my last official Christmas session of the year and was a lot of fun even if we were battling some HARSH sunlight the whole time.  The {R} family makes me smile!   I just can’t help it.  The boys were cracking me up and I just adore their mom.  Thank {T} for spending part of our day with me!!

I just LOVE Ms {Z}.  I met this family when I did their Maternity photos and have looked forward to seeing {Z} every 3 months since she was born as one of my “Watch Me Grow” kiddos.  {Z} is now 6 months old – she sits well and is already crawling!!!  And as a special treat for me, we took some photos with big sis {J} this time as well!  Here is a Sneak Peek!

Ms {E} has got to be one of the cutest babies every!!  She is adorable!  She was all smiles through our whole session.  We were able to get a few pictures of the whole family and then spent some time inside capturing Ms {E}’s 3 month photos.  Here is her Sneak Peek – Isn’t she a doll!!

The {W} family is just amazing and Little {Z} is such a doll!!  I got to meet them when I did her newborn photos and I cannot believe how BIG she is getting.  She is such a cutie pie!  Here is a sneak peek from the family session we did a couple weeks ago.

I had the pleasure of meeting the {L} family a couple of weeks ago.  They are an adorable family and I can’t wait to spend more time with them in the Spring.  But, for now, here is their Sneak Peek!!

I feel like I say this a lot…but I LOVE my families and the {S} family is no exception.  Little Ms {M} is just adorable and {L} is a wonderful big brother!  Here are a sneak peek from our session.

I just LOVE this family.  We have been blessed to call them our friends for the past few years.  I just love watching their family grow!!  The boys are all getting so big.  With the newest addition of baby boy #4, the {P} family is definitely a ton of fun!  Here is the sneak peek from their recent session.

The {S} family is so much fun!!  I loved seeing the kids personalities and Mom and Dad are just awesome.  Thanks for spending part of your morning with me!  Here is a peek at our session.

I LOVE that I get to do the photos for one of the squadrons on base each year.  I have so much fun seeing all the families!  Here is a little peek at how my 2 days went.

I love cake smashes, little girl and pink….so much fun!!!  {K} wanted to eat her cake instead of mess it up….but with a little push from mom she dived in.  Big sis {E} didn’t want much to do with the camera, but we managed to pull some smiles out of her (with a little help from bubbles).  Haha.  I had a blast.  Thank you {T} for introducing me to your family!!  Here is your Sneak Peek.

The delicious and gorgeous cake was made by Cakes By Ruth.

Isn’t this family amazing! Big sister and two adorable little boys. Just from the couple of hours that I spent with them I could tell that {T} is GREAT big sister…and the boys were just precious!! Thank you {Z} family for spending part of your day with me. I just wish you guys weren’t moving so I could see these handsome little guys grow up! I cannot wait to dive in and get to editing this full session, but for now these few teasers will have to do. Hehe. Here is your Sneak Peek mom..

Okay – here is another fabulous mini session from this weekend!  This family is amazing.  I have known them for a long time and just love any chance I get to photograph them.  Mom, Dad, big Brother, little Sister – perfect.  If only someone told little Miss {E} that.  Haha.  She was a little selfish with her smiles, but Dad managed to pull a few out of her.  Here is your Sneak Peek {K}!!

Oh My, where has the time gone???  My little baby girl is 9 months old!!!  We took her photos this weekend and I just HAD to share.  I tried so hard to narrow it down, but I just loved them all.  Hehe.  Anyway, here she is!

I had such a great time with our mini sessions this past weekend.  One of the families that I got to spend part of my day with was the {S} family.  These girls are just precious and are really missing Daddy who is overseas right now.  Hoping these photos find Dad well and put a smile on his face – his sweet girls!  So for Mom & Dad, here is your sneak peek.

We have a winner!!!  Thank you to EVERYONE who participated in our 1K Fabulous Fan giveaway.  We wouldn’t be anywhere if it weren’t for our fans.  Love You All!!!  But, I know what you really want to know is who was the winner of our Fabulous Prize Package.
