Lexi-Lou With Eyes So Blue

Just like her pretty cousin Mary Kate - http://eriniviephoto.blogspot.com/2008/08/i-think-she-liked-me-better-this-time.html - she's another sweetheart who I've been photographing since she was born. They are family, though...I get first dibs!

I could make a whole album of outakes with all the silly faces she made for me...

But with a bit of patience, a little luck and four little girls standing behind me acting silly, I captured a bit of magic, too.

So fun!

Until next time

Brennah is Six Months Old

This morning's session was with another little one on my Baby Plan, and we had THE most beautiful day. I realized as I was leaving that besides her hospital portrait, I'm the only photographer to have taken pictures of Brennah...and I swear I almost teared up! How special that I get to document her life for her mom and dad, and what an important job I have.

While I was there I managed to grab a few shots of Brennah's big brother and sister, who I've also photographed before. They are old pros at my 'No Smile' face that I'm always trying to get out of little ones.

See, I'm retraining the Tri-State one family at a time! Just Say No to CHEESE!

Until next time

Three for the Price of One

Isn't it funny how different multiples end up being from eachother, despite the fact they are always together? Without even knowing these little girls, you can tell from the images just how different each one is.

Dress them the same - treat them the same...still the fact that they are unique individuals trump everything else.

What amazing little creatures children are.

Until next time

Mr. Benjamin, Part Deux

You know what I love about offering The Baby Plan? Well, there are lots of things, but the best part is simply that I feel like I get to know the families and really enjoy spending time with them. It's also SO cool to get to watch the baby change and grow - it happens so quickly that it seems to be right before my eyes.

Here was Ben from his session in May -

And here he was today on this most glorious Saturday afternoon. Now at nine months old, he's sitting & crawling everywhere...just three short months ago he was laying in my basket. Now there is no stopping him.

Aren't babies amazing?

Baby Brother's Baby...

...is going to be one next month. How can this be?

I dare you not to smile at Sweet Isaac.

You are smiling, aren't you? See, it's impossible not to when you look at this happy boy.

You're doing it again...I know you are.

I Think She Liked Me Better This Time...

Remember this post a while back?
http://eriniviephoto.blogspot.com/2008/03/what-she-thought-of-her-photo-session.html

Well Sweet Mary Katherine is six months old now, and I think I've finally won her over. She put up with me and my big giant camera without even one obscene finger gesture!

I was even able to capture some of her sweet smiles.





Don't you just love her?

Until next time

Shelbi, Class of 2009

Man do I love photographing teenagers! They don't run from me, I don't have to act crazy to get them to look at the camera...none of that stuff! Now don't get me wrong, give me a four year old and I'm happy as a clam, but it's sure a fun change of pace now and then.

It's July (well, August now!) so it's Senior Picture time. Today's beautiful model was a dream subject. Beautiful skin, great big blue eyes and her hair...oh, her hair. Like Goldie Locks, I tell ya. So fun!

Here are a few sneak peeks for Shelbi and her family...there are so many beauties that I had a hard time picking just three!

Until next time
