Baby Chloe

Oh the precious baby Chloe.  Chloe’s mom wanted “naked baby pics”, so I told her to make sure her house was nice and toasty to be sure that little Chloe didn’t get cold.  Chloe’s mom, Nikki, Aunt Gina, and myself, were nice and toasty . . . and sweaty by the end of the session.  However, Chloe was nice and cozy and happy.  Chloe’s big brother Colton joined in on the fun too.  She was just so darn cute.  It got me started thinking about having another one.  ;)

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. :)
