snow and bellies…

two blog posts in one day..wow! i wanted to get these posted today, because tomorrow will be the newborn session of the new baby. i love photographing toddlers. they are so shy at first, but quickly warm up. he was such a sweet boy and loved his thomas trains.

i have no idea of what happened, but after uploading these photos they seem to have lost some color. i will have to fix that later. right now i need to go get my own kiddos some dinner, and then out to learn to crochet with jill of D.R. photography and design..i’m excited.

better late than never…

somehow a month has gone by since my last blog post. we had a great Christmas and New Year, and i hope you all did too. perhaps in the next week i will blog a few personal photos from the last month, but for now here are some photos that i really, really wanted to post before Christmas. knitting presents, baking, school parties, and taking care of last minute orders and photo shoots got in the way that…

it was super cold and snowing for this session, which resulted in only about 45 minutes of actual shooting time. looking back at these, i have no idea of how they handled having their coats off. i was beyond freezng! there was a small break at the dunkin’ donuts to get warmed up. it was her first donut, so that was fun to see. once again, this is the third time i have been able to photograph this family and she is turning into one beautiful little girl!

playing in leaves…

i am so thankful for this amazingly warm fall we have had here in pittsburgh! it has made my photo shoots way more comfortable during this busy time of year (up until this past weekend anyways!) this session was a lot of fun, and the little girl is full of personality.

thanksgiving…

I’m a bit late, but Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone enjoyed their day and had a relaxing weekend. on Thanksgiving, we had a very impromptu overnight babysitter thanks to my parents. the mister and i enjoyed a very lazy friday..very nice! this past weekend i used the self timer to try to get my own family portrait. out of 120 shots there were a few that were useable. my son enjoys making faces at the camera, singing, and clapping his hands..haha! i think this may have been the first family photo with the 4 of us where there was no crying. so i guess you could call it a success.

baby, toddler, pre-schooler…

One of the best parts of my job is having repeat clients and getting to see their kids grow up (see here!), it is truly an honor! I was especially excited to hear that this particular family had a new addition. Big sister and bother obviously adore their new sister. Photographing 3 children who are 3 and under is definitely an interesting time, but so much fun. And after seeing their backyard, I am not sure why all of our sessions weren’t there. Gosh, they are just so adorable.

[i love that she tried to get him to jump here, but he chose to slide down instead]

[i have to say, it makes me a little sad when mom and dad don't want atleast one photo with their babies, but i always try to atleast get in one shot :)]

hartwood acres…

I met this family at hartwood acres. i don’t believe that i am exagerating when i say there must have been atleast 5 other photographers there. slightly awkward, so i was happy this family lived just a minute away and we were able to finish the session in their backyard. lately all of the little boys that i have been photographing have been doing everything to not look at me, making my job slightly difficult but i almost always win in the end. his little sister is absolutely gorgeus. here are a few of my favorites from the session…

you can’t go wrong with beautiful blue skies, a cute hat, and adorable chubby cheeks. for some reason, all of the leaves in Oakland were green and we were having some problems finding color. then finally we found one big tree with yellow and orange leaves. yay!
