Okay, I don’t recommend shooting at nap time but in this case it worked out. Sometimes you just can’t predict their schedule and you just have to roll with it. This little guy was so tired but he didn’t stand a chance. Between me and his Mom and Dad we had him so entertained that there was no time for any crabbiness. We sang, swung and swam (well, he swam, we just got our feet wet). Poor Dad ran up and down the stairs to keep the happiness going. Well done gang! We have some adorable shots that were totally worth our efforts!

This beautiful baby girl was so smiley! It was a pleasure to work with this Rocky River family again. Big sister was keeping Mom and Grandma busy while I was photographing the new baby. I remember having a two year old and a newborn baby at home. I’m exhausted just thinking about it!

And big sister on the move!

Hey, remember the father/daughter from a few posts back? Well here’s the newest addition to the family. We even got Mom in a few shots too! Isn’t he such a peanut?! He was just nine days old and super sleepy!

Yep, another one year old! I told you they are so excited about everything. Balls, squirrels, doggies…everything is a doggie, including the squirrels. Hilarious! You just can’t help but smile. I couldn’t resist proofing these shots in color (although they look awesome in black-and-white too). It’s just so summery. This little baby doll is the youngest of four children. I’ve been photographing this family since the oldest was just a wee babe herself. There are lots and lots of great shots. Can’t wait to show you guys!

It seems I’m photographing a lot of one year olds lately. I love it! It’s such a fun age. They are so excited about everything! I worked with this family a few years ago and now they have one more addition to the family. I was thrilled to document this little guys first birthday and while I was at it I got a few shots of the rest of the family.

I just want to give everyone a heads up that the summer is just about booked up and we’re looking at the holiday/fall season. YES, I said the dreaded “H” word! It’s coming weather we like it or not. More to come about the holiday shooting season which is September and October. I beg of you, if you want holiday cards and prints, book your session now as the fall months book up VERY quickly! In a blink of an eye, school will be starting and then it will be Halloween and THEN you know what… It creeps up on me every year!
