On our first warm and beautiful spring weekend, I had a shoot for a cute 4 month old (almost). This was his christening party!! Even with all the fuss and business of the day, “J” never really complained and even napped halfway through the party. We couldn’t have asked for a better day!

Everyone had their turn holding the guest of honor…


And finally I snuck one in of mommy and J.

We went outside a few times to try to get more formal pictures. It was a beautiful day but the pollen was full force. I don’t know if that is what caused “J”s eyes to water but this happened everytime we headed outdoors.



I wasn’t allowed to take pictures of the christening ceremony at the church, but I did get a few pictures of “J” just before. So cute!

This session was a little out of the ordinary for me! I really did enjoy spending the morning C and P and their owners. C is sick and his owner wanted some pictures of him before he passes and called me. She wasn’t sure if I did this sort of thing and I haven’t before, but this was totally worth it to me to do. I’m a little bit of a softy when it comes to pets, and I really wanted her to have pictures she can treasure for years to come. C is part of the family after all!

Now…you would think taking pictures of dogs would be completely different than taking picture of children. However, we did a lot of bribing with treats and made a lot of silly noises to get them to look at the camera. Hmmm…that sounds really familiar to me

Also thank you to “Mommy J” for referring this family my way!

If you are coming to check in on my recent sessions, you’ll notice all my pictures are missing. In an effort to help protect my pictures from being stolen, I made them viewable to Friends and Family only within Flickr. I didn’t know doing this “breaks” all your links (nor did I get a warning). Thus all my pictures on my blogs are missing. I’m currently in contact with Flickr trying to get this issue resolved. However, if it can’t be fixed, my blog may be getting a facelift only to show pictures going back the past few months.

Thanks for being a follower of my blog!

I invited “L” back to the studio for a short 20 minute session so I could get his one year old pictures. At the family’s session the previous weekend, he wasn’t into taking pictures and I felt bad that mom and dad weren’t going to have a good one of “L”. So this Saturday they headed back, just mom and “L”, for a quick mini-session that went really well!! I’m so happy it worked out this time!
