Friends make the best subjects!!

This is a shoot of one of my dearest college friends and her family.  I was a little nervous as this was my first shoot with her, but I held her baby in the hospital, so I felt like I could do this!  We had a great time playing at Kraft Azalea and I think that we were ALL worn out by the end.  Her little munchkin had us moving from one end of the park to the other, but we were able to capture him here and there!

My First Baby Girl Shoot!

I was so excited to shoot photos for this baby girl and her family!  She is absolutely gorgeous!  She was a little older than I have been shooting, so we had to compromise a little, but she was perfect.  Gave a couple of smiles here and there and wore my new tutu like a professional!  I went a little crazy on the pink, but who can blame me with such a wonderful little model :).  Hope you like these!

Megan's family

Here are a couple of shots from Megan's shoot!  They were so much fun.  Baby Boy T is the cutest little guy.  He just grunts and grunts all the time.  He gave me quite a bit of sleepy time until he just popped awake for the rest of the shoot.  We had a great time working with him and then took a little while with her other two.  Even Daddy came home (and brought me lunch :) and snuck in a couple of shots.  What a beautiful family -

Jen's Baby Boy is finally here!

After knowing Jen for her ENTIRE pregnancy, I felt like her baby boy would never come!  I loved shooting Jen's maternity photos so much and just completely enjoyed hanging out with Baby D and taking his photos.  He is the sweetest and most precious baby!  He gave us quite a bit of good sleepy time and then woke up to eat and give his Mommy a couple of surprises!  I also treasured my time I spent with her daughter.  Jen's spirit, patience and attitude are to be admired! What a wonderful Mommy of a wonderful family!

Keely's precious little boy

Our "second take" of Keely's family was perfect!  On our first try, we had some great shots, but little Jax just would not sleep for us!  This time around, Jax relaxed so much, it was hard to get him to hold the poses!  He is just the sweetest baby and so alert!  It was hard for me to concentrate, he was so much fun to hold.

We also had the chance to shoot Jameson and daddy Brian!  The family did so well, there are so many photos to choose from :).  I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I did!

Mimi's precious baby Harrison

This was such a fun shoot!  Harrison was so gorgeous and sweet!  I loved using my new techniques from the Kelly Ryden and Tracy Raver workshop, however, here is where I KNEW I needed my new bean bag.  Couldn't even try some of the poses on that bean bag.  A huge thanks to Mimi's husband who actually watched my SON during this shoot!  Oh well, when we are starting out we have to do what we have to do!

Thanks again to Mimi and her family for letting me capture such a precious time in her life.  P.S. The perfect little hat was handmade by Mimi's Mom.

Photo shoot for Shannon and Parke House

Thanks so much to Shannon for letting me photograph her beautiful children for the Parke House Charity Event!

They were good sports in the RAIN!!! Poor babies, they walked the dock :).  We had such a nice time.  Parker is so much fun to photograph, but Tanner - he is a PRO! 

We had some fun with him and let him set up some shots :).  That is where the Buzz Lightyear came in.

Gave me a chance to practice, too.  Hopefully, we will raise some money for Parke House with this shoot.
