A Smashing Good Time!

Posted on July 31, 2009 by Allie

I can’t believe it. Miss A is already a year old!! We had her birthday session here in the studio. I think that she was anxious to get back to her birthday party because she wasn’t terribly interested in having her picture taken. But we did find a few things that caught her fancy.

Like my pushing around my new little red chair…

Chair + Lens Cap = Happy Miss A!

I hope someone got her a chair for her Birthday

This? This is when my heart stopped.

So! Moving on!

To take her mind off the chair mom brought out the cake.

Is this more fun than a chair?

Yes, even better than a chair.

But do you want to know what is even better than cake? Take a look at this:

Do you know what this is?

This is Miss A Walking...

For the very first time

I'm afraid this little baby is growing up

I love my job.

Happy Birthday Miss A!

Back in the Saddle!

For those of you who don’t live close enough to hear my screaming, I will tell you that it has been quite a week around here. I had an opportunity to test my photo backup system for the first time, and can happily report that it works great! There were a few tense days waiting for the back-up to be restored, but all of the photos (yours and mine) were safe and sound. And now it’s back to play… er work!

And look at the cutie I got to play with! This little girlie is 4 months old and I had so much fun with her and her family. I was laughing so hard it’s a wonder that any of the pictures turned out!

Contemplating her Fingers

Sweet Smile

Observing her parents' Dance Moves

What is it about Daddy's and Little Girls?

Look how beautiful they are!

Okay, this one made me get a little teary

Thank goodness for the comic relief!

This one might be my favorite

What fun! I can’t wait to see this munchkin grow up. I bet she’ll have some super cool dance moves. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by!

A nice way to spend a hot summer morning

I had a session with a new baby yesterday. Well, new to me. She is actually 8 months old and was just the perfect age for portraits. She was sitting up and full of personality, but not crawling yet. We were planning an outdoor shoot, but since it was 105 yesterday we moved it inside.

Such a sweet smile

And did I mention the big blue eyes?!

And these legs! Did I mention these scrumptious legs??

I just love that little eyeball

Isn't she sweet?

She wasn't too sure about the chair... maybe next time!

I’m so glad that we didn’t try and brave the heat at the Arboretum — although this girl would probably even look cute sweaty!

Micah is 6 Months Old!!!

Will you just look at this yummy girl? I had to sit on my hands to keep from pinching those cheeks!

Those cheeks!

That Drool!

Those Chins!!

It's a Shame that She is Such a Sullen Child

Even her Elbows are Scrumptious!

She just keeps getting better! I can’t wait to see what the next shoot will bring — See you in September you Cutie Patootie!

Worth the Wait

It has been a crazy busy week — Yay!

I am editing my little heart out, but I don’t want to keep Little Nolan’s Fans in suspense for too long.

Isn't he just scrumtious?? I can't believe he is only 6 weeks old. My babies looked like scrawny little chickens at 6 weeks old (don't tell them I said that)

Nolan is au naturale under that glove, does dad look a little nervous?

One for GiGi

Okay, last one. Really. I mean it. I can quit any time….

Oh alright! If you insist… but this is the last one!

Now back to editing.

Or maybe ice cream.

Thank you for visiting!

Where was I?

Yikes! Has it really been almost a month since my last blog entry? Oh I am such a slacker!! But a very busy slacker. Here, take a look:

This little cutie patootie is just 8 weeks old, but look at how strong she is!! And already she is such a ham for the camera.

Sweet Miss E

Keeping an eye on things

Aww guys, again with the smooching??

And look! Finally a baby who appreciates my knitting efforts!!!

Loves the Cocoon!!

I also got to go on a little field trip to a farm in Blum. This is my former technician and dear friend Lora Mae and her family. I got to do little T. Rex’s newborn portraits in the hospital, and it is such a treat for me to see how big he has gotten in just a year. Plus I got to soak up some horse smell. It took me back to my (thankfully) brief stint in the large animal clinic. Good times.

He cracks me up!

Such a poser!

The Best Part of a Horse

And remember last fall? My first soccer team shoot? Well the girls got new uniforms (not costumes, I am told 😉 ) so of course they needed new team portraits. Lucky me!! It was such a fun shoot – and every one of them is just lovely, inside and out.

Are you intimidated?!

Nothin' Gets by This Goalie

Teamwork

Huddle

By the way, did you notice the new logo? Pretty posh, donch’a think?!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Chasin' Mason Through the Blooms

Posted on March 26, 2009 by Allie

It has been a busy week in the park. I got to wear my vet hat for a couple of days. Saved lives, played with puppies, did a little surgery… then crashed on the couch, dead asleep at 8:30.
Then I was so excited to get to go visit one of my little baby bundles. Miss Micah is 3 months old already and she has, without a doubt, the yummiest little rolls of baby fat I have ever seen. As a newborn she somehow managed to stay awake for the entire session. This time she took pity on me and finally snoozed. Fonzy the bassett was less cooperative, but almost as cute. He was not interested in posing with the baby, not even for bribes. We’ll have to try again when Micah is a little bigger.

Then I got to go frolick through the Dallas Arboretum with Mason. I started photographing this sweet boy when he was a year old. Now he is two… Boy is he TWO! He had too much to see and do to stop and smell the roses (quite literally!). But what fun to chase him around with his grandparents in tow.

I Love Babies!!

Feast your eyes on this sweet boy!! He was such a good natured little guy. Very tolerant of hats and nakedness and even tulle.

I was so excited to try out my new baby cocoon, but alas he drew the line at swaddling.

I am trying not to take this as a criticism of my knitting skills. Not the best photo, but I had to get him out quickly, before he became irreversibly splotchy!

The lovely Miss A is 6 Months old!

Posted on February 2, 2009 by Allie

Geez, it seems like just a few months ago she was only 3 months old… how time flies! Who knew she could get any cuter?? 6 month old babies are just about my favorite subjects anyway: they stay put, they smile, they drool. What’s not to love? But this little girl is even better than most. We have a date in April at the Arboretum and I can’t wait to see how much cuter this little chunky monkey can get!

PS It seems that I forgot to announce the new name of the package formerly known as “The Infant Portrait Package”….. It’s…
The Baby Bundle! ta-da!

How Sweet she is!

I had a session last Sunday with my newest, littlest client. She just enrolled in the infant portrait package (could I have picked a duller name?!), so I will be seeing more of her in the year to come. Bless her heart, she was such a good sport. She took a little 15 minute siesta mid-shoot and woke up refreshed and ready to go another hour. I just love the infant portrait package (the “baby to big kid package”? the “little lump to little person package”??) because I get to see these little guys change so much over that first year. What a privilege! And maybe someday I’ll be taking their Senior portraits… “I knew you when you were only this big!”
