Inside that beautiful pregnant belly is a sweet baby girl. She has no idea how much her mommy is looking forward to meeting her and dressing her all in pink. I’ll admit… I can’t wait for her arrival either! I have several brand new pink hats and wraps just waiting for her 
Mom was simply a natural at this modeling thing. Even while only a few weeks away from baby’s appearance, mom is completely smokin’ gorgeous.
I want to wish all of my family, friends and clients a HUGE Happy New Year!!!
2009 was a successful year for me and I’m so thankful for the part you all played in that. Huge monstrous thank you to my 2009 clients ♥ I loved each and every session and am thankful that you allowed me to be a part of your lives. I have so so many favorite images from the past year… some that in reviewing just warms me on the inside. So I thought I’d make a top 100 of 2009 video to share them with you all.
I couldn’t wait to blog these after I posted my favorite in a sneak peek last week.
Little Ava at 7 days old… look at those perfectly pinchable cheeks and puckered lips!
Seriously, does it get any cuter then this?
Recently I was hired by a friend to take some photos of her two little ones. This was a friend I knew way back from elementary aaaall the way through high school, and recently reconnected with via Facebook. She warned me that she is a bit of a photo addict herself and with that, comes the challenging ‘photographer’s child syndrome’. Yes, it’s a clinical diagnosis. Often caused my having a parent (usually a mother) who takes photos of their kids on such a regular basis that they develop an acute awareness of cameras. Common reactions include screaming, running, crying, goofy faces, and outright disobedience. My old children suffer this ailment. We are currently in search of a cure. Client mom was hoping I’d have better luck than she has had in the past. Luckily these kiddos only suffered slightly from PCS. Photographing children is a crap shoot in all reality. You are at the mercy of their moods. But I had high hopes after we choose a fantastic location in Lakeway. It was quite a beautiful backdrop! I arrived, chatted with my friend a bit and off we went to our location. Her kids were *adorable* and very sweet. Then I took out my camera. {wink} Big brother really only wanted to “pose in ways that I usually do”, which was fine.. he had the drill down so I took him up on his poses. His little sister had the sweetest little princess voice you’ve ever heard.She was willing to go walk anywhere with me. But as soon as I’d lift my lens up, she’d look down. It truly had me cracking up. At one point, she even walked down a bridge towards me.. backwards! How crafty is that? haha!! I still think we made out well. Hard to not when your subjects are such QTs!
