Oliver & Family – portrait session

Oliver & Family – portrait session

Can we talk about how stunningly cute this kid is? I mean, those eyes, that face! I went and photographed Oliver, 19 months old, and his parents, Nadyne and Darby, this past weekend.

Nadyne and I were pregnant at the same time, and Oliver is only a few weeks older than Max. It’s been fun comparing milestone after milestone. At their portrait session, Oliver had fun running around the yard, throwing rocks in the (empty) fish pond and riding his rocking moose.

I think this is my favorite outtake. Kid’s got spirit.

Baby Annabelle

Baby Annabelle

Luckily I had my camera with me when I went to drop off food for Annabelle’s parents yesterday. Only a month old (and shy of 9 pounds), she was a cute, sleepy bundle who we didn’t want to disturb. I got a few pics while catching up with her mom.

Hope you all enjoyed the enchiladas, Sam, and I look forward to seeing more of Miss Annabelle.

Mia – child portrait session

Mia – child portrait session

I met Mia, Melissa and Matt at the park near Central Market for their portrait session. What a photogenic and alliterative bunch! Mia, 18 months old, had fun pointing out the ducks, singing songs and showing me her dance moves. She loved her stuffed giraffe and barely tolerated her hair barrette. By the end, she was ready for more fun at the playground – while her parents and I were wiped out.

Carsyn – child portrait session

Carsyn – child portrait session

Halloween came early! I spent Saturday morning with Carsyn, who’s mom, Heather, had picked out the softest and snuggliest pink elephant costume for her to wear. Doesn’t she look adorable? Carsyn was full of smiles, happy to go along with multiple locations around the house and multiple outfit changes. Well, there might have been a few tears when the costume first came on. But she rallied.

It was a great morning. Though with her super fast crawling skills, her mom and I both had to be quick on our feet to keep up with her.

Kristin and Paul – mini family portrait session

Kristin and Paul – mini family portrait session

Three generations. Eleven family members. Little did Paul and Kristin know that when we came over for an afternoon play date, that they would be getting a surprise mini-family session. But who could resist all those faces so happy to be together on a beautiful September day.
