Now and Then with Noah

It’s hard to believe that it was about this time last year that I took pictures of little Noah Cline.  He was only a few weeks old and it was about that time that I really started to educate myself about photography.  Angie and Jerry were kind enough to allow me to stretch my photographic legs, so to speak, with the help of little Noah.  So when they asked me to take Noah’s 1 year pictures, I was pumped.  I had a great time, at Devou Park, watching Noah play and spend some quality time with his Mommy and Daddy.  

Baby Brody

I introduce to you, Brody.  I’ve known Brody’s father, Brian, since the 5^th grade.  And I have to say that Brian was the cutest little kid you’ve ever seen.  Big blue eyes, little button nose, and always dressed perfectly.  The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree with little Brody.  He’s just about the cutest thing you’ve ever seen and was an awesome subject for picture taking.  I need not do anything but to call his name and the child looked right at the camera.  You can’t ask for anything more than that when taking pictures of babies.

"Strickley" Adorable

I love taking pictures of anything and everything, but I have to say that the teacher in me just loves to take pictures of children.  So I was super excited to take pictures of my old friend, Heather Strickley-Schultz’s kids.  Heather posts lots of pictures of her children, on Facebook, and these kids are flippin’ adorable.  I couldn’t wait.  Brady, Brenna, and Bella did not disappoint.  By the end of the session, Brady and Brenna were helping pick out spots to have their picture taken.  I love that! 

I had an awesome time with this gang.  And . . . today is Brenna’s 3^rd birthday, so I have to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY.  I hope all you birthday wishes come true. :)

And Baby Makes Three

Karen and Kim, like many couples, thought long and hard about becoming parents.  After almost two years of long conversations, and doctors appointments, Kim became pregnant with their first child.  Both of these women are strong, intelligent, active women.  It is very evident in the photos that they both have a great sense of humor and are clearly in love.  I have no doubt that this baby will grow up to be as strong, beautiful, and well-rounded as these two women.  This was my first maternity session and I can't tell you how honored I was to take these photographs.  I had a great time, both taking them and editing them.  I can't wait to take BABY pictures!
