A few days ago I traveled out to Fort Riley, Kansas to photograph this sweet little 7 day newborn, baby A.
Hands down, no contest, she was the best baby ever. So cuddly and sweet, and with a big brother that loved to help!
Here are a few of my favorites from that day.

One of my 2010 resolutions was to make more personal blog entries. I am not doing such a fabulous job!!
Yesterday, I took some pictures of my nearly 11 month old daughter (where did the time go?!) for an article about one year portraits and cake smash sessions for TAoPaN mag . I know she isn’t one yet, but I had some new ideas that I hadn’t got a chance to try out in my last cake smash session.

She is probably the cutest baby ever. If I do say so myself.
Now, if you excuse me. I have the cable company to call about my DVR that didn’t record LOST tonight. Yes. This is a big deal.

and bushy tailed! Isn’t that how the saying goes? I tend to think I am a *bit* of a baby charmer, but sweet little K was not having me put her to sleep. She is 6 weeks old and is as cute.as.can.be. I would have put her in my bag and taken her home, if it wasn’t illegal in all 50 states.
Just look at her!!

This little sweet heart is 11 days old. He was really making me work for these shots today, but in the end it was all worth it.

My sweet little baby is 10 months old today. That means 2 more months and I have a one year old!!
Time goes by so quickly, it’s hard to believe that 10 months ago I was holding a 7 pound 15 ounce newborn.
Here she is, my big 10 month old. Getting ready to walk, talk, and get right in there with her big brother and sister.


This is what I call the “Why the heck am I in the toy box, mom?” face. Personally, I love it.
Pretty soon I will be doing my very own cake smash for this sweet little girl. And probably crying.

UPDATE.
WHOA! i never thought my little contest would get this much attention! i will extend the deadline to wednesday jan. 6 at 11.59pm.
I thought I would try something new to ring in 2010.
There are so many pictures this year that I just adore, I have such stylish clients! Instead of me just picking my favorite, I thought I would have you help me.
Below are my personal favorites of 2009. I would like you to vote on which YOU think is the best. Each has a number. You can simply comment with the number, or say why you love the picture, if you know the person(s) in the picture, etc. It’s up to you!
Those who are nominated can vote for themselves, they can email every one they know to vote for them, but please only vote once per person! The more people you ask to come by the contest and vote, the better chance you have of winning……
A complimentary session for 2010, and the winning picture on a 11×14 mount.
To make this an even better deal, I will randomly pull a number from random.org, and that comment number will ALSO win a complimentary session for 2010! So it is critical when you comment to add your real email address when it ask for it.
Are you ready?
Ready.
Please use the number that is to the top left of each picture.
Also, votes/comments with fake email addresses will not be counted. Email addresses are the only way I can tell if something is a spam comment or not.
{and hey, new readers! welcome! while you are here, why don’t you go over to facebook and fan my page. then you can here about all my great deals and contest before any one else! facebook fan page or my twitter page }
