Photography: Sweet baby Anson


I LOVE taking pictures of newborns, but there is something about capturing the moment they can start to really see you, that is one of my favorite times in a baby's life. Little Anson seemed to be just as curious about me as I was about him.  

So contemplative...  


...and active...



...to the point that he completely wore himself out...


...and had to find some much needed rest in momma's arms : )


And then, he was ready to go again : )  But, it did not take long for him to realize that concentrating so hard on life... 


...is very tiring.


So once again, to his most happy of places : )


Little Anson is sooooo sweet and quite a character!

Photography: Enjoying Fall


This past weekend, we went over to Jason's parents' house to visit with all of his siblings and let all the kids play together.  This year seems to be flying by, so it was nice to sit back and watch the kids play in the leaves and enjoy all that Fall has to offer.  I wish we could do this every weekend.  

And...I really wish that leaf pile had been big enough for the adults to jump in : )

A Balloon Birthday Party...



This past Saturday was Walter's first birthday!  And we celebrated with balloons...lots and lots of balloons : )  It all began with a balloon banner that welcomed guests and showed them exactly where the party was happening.



Guests were greeted by a table where they could take a guess at what Walt will be when he grows up.  There were small paper balloons for the predictions to be written on. 


Jessica, Walter's mom, hung these cute little cut-outs of Walter's sweet face, with some very festive party hats, over the food table and along the path to the festivities. 


One of the main attractions at the party was the balloon artist, who made the most spectacular balloon animals for all of the kids.  


Guests were invited to "take a seat" in the yard, to enjoy all of the birthday activities. 


And after all of the balloons...and exercise...


...it was time for the cake!






And it's only fair, that if Walt got cake...so did Mommy and Daddy : )




A little clean-up was needed...


...and the damage was surveyed


And then, it was time for another adventure.


It was a wonderful, fun-filled day that I am sure left one big boy very tired...


...and his two loving parents absolutely EXHAUSTED : )



Happy Birthday Walt!



***You may remember Walter from when I photographed him and his mom, Jessica, before he had arrived, and then on his birth day, and then again when he had settled into his new home. He is becoming a professional at this : )

Toddlers sucking on lemons . . . so bad


It's so bad...but haven't we all done this before?  I know I have...on several occasions.  There is something about watching a baby trustingly take a lemon from your hand and dive right in.  Again...it's SO bad...but SO funny at the same time.  Isabella had to ruin it for me though - she LOVES lemons!  

Pucker is a photo series by April Maciborka and David Wile that documents the priceless expressions on toddlers' faces as they munch on  lemon wedges.  I don't know about you, but the cute little one above is my favorite : )
