8 Is Enough

3/4 = 8 Months = Too Fast!

Little Miss "c"

Miss "c" was so calm and so intrigued with the camera we just laid her down and started snapping away.
I usually like sleepy sleepy babies, but those baby blue eyes were too gorgeous.

Just a thought ...and some Prettiness

"Both Abundance and Lack of Abundance exists simultaneously in our lives as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend...when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that is present -love, health, family, friends, work, joys of nature, and personal pursuits that bring us happiness -the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth."
-Sarah Ban Breathnach

Mister baby "e"

This little man was so sweet but not very sleepy...so we clicked the camera when his eyes were closed
and snuggled when they weren't.

This Little Lovely did not want to miss a single minute of her shoot!
But she was no match for my "baby whispering" skills and a playschool maraca!

Just Because

Both free sessions are scheduled,
one baby is already here and the other will be making his appearance next week.
So check back soon for the previews of those sessions plus a few that took advantage of the $50.oo deal.

A "just because" image, just because I love it so much.
This feels like my memories of her as this baby,
hazy and pale and lovely, and just out of my reach.
And quickly being replaced with an outspoken, creative, independent 5 year old.

"Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture,
and save it from the funny tricks of time.
Slipping through my fingers all time"

Help Wanted...

I am in need of a baby.
Actually more than one, I'm in need of babies.
The newest of new babies. No more than 2 weeks old.
I really need to practice my newborn photography skills before all the summer babies are born.
Those sessions are already loosely scheduled depending on when they make their appearance.
So until then I need a few babies that have either been born in the the last couple of days,
or babies who's arrival is emanate.
I will do 2 sessions for FREE.
My sitting fee is $125.oo, so I kinda think it's a bargain.
The first 2 people to schedule a session will be free.
But for the rest of you who schedule a newborn session with me, you will get it at a discount price of $50.oo.
Starting today and going through April 15th.
So if you're pregnant or know someone who is, call me and let's take some pictures.
Feel free to contact me:

And just for fun a few pictures of my baby who I happen think is most delicious
I think I'm a little obsessed with her at the moment.
If I could bottle her sweetness and smile I would do it in an instant!
I'm also a little obsessed with Vintage and Retro actions.
Retro Lollipop by Florabella is my favorite at the moment.
Used on the photos below.

I mean really look at that face and the little teeth coming in.
I'm smitten!
