KENDRA MARIE: TURNS 1!!!!!

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!

MY NIECE KENDRA TURNS ONE NEXT MONDAY......
I FEEL LIKE SHE HAS GROWN UP SO QUICK .....I FEEL LIKE HER PARENT HA!

Last week I had the chance to spend sometime with Kendra and test out
my NEW 5D Mark II before using it on a wedding!

I just love how the new 5D takes in color and lets so much more light
in....especially with my new 85mm lens!!!

Okay well Kendra is now walking holding on to things and man can
she move....



I am loving the bright colors!


I still cannot believe she is walking!



Children of this generation start with computers early...

Checking the internet girl!


These next 4 are my absoulute favs.....

They really show her personality!





Mom I' tired!

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY BRYNN!

Another cutie I have been following all year is Brynn!

Brynn turned 1 in December right before I turned 31 ha!

I have known Brynn's mom for years and I am always SO EXCITED
when people I know hire me for their kids!

When I arrived at Brynn's she was in the cutest pajamas ever!

And I could not believe it! She was almost walking!


So then I got her to sit down for a bit by the tree!

I have to say I am in love with photographing in front of the
christmas tree. The lights oh the lights! Then add a reflector oh!

Here are a bunch to prove it!








Then Brynn decide it was time for a clothing change and walk/stand for a bit!





Lastly it would not be a birthday session unless you are in your
birthday suit!


Hope your birthday was fun Brynn!

A COLD AFTERNOON WITH SPENCER

Another little boy I have had the pleasure of following grow up
is Spencer!

Spencer is 18 months now and I have seen him since he was 3 months!

Right before Christmas I meet Spencer and his mom at one of my FAVORITE
places to photograph..... the Wethersfield Cove.

It was a VERY cold and breezy day but Spencer did not seem to mind!



This is one of my FAVS!!!
I love the look he is giving me!


Then Spencer was getting cold so we put his amazing hat on him!

Now seriously!
CUTIE!!!!!!



After all noes were red and runny we called it a day!

Spencer look forward to seeing you over the summer!

PORTRAITS PORTRAITS AND PORTRAITS

So right before the holidays I had the pleasure of shooting
a bunch of children portraits!

I have to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE children photography! There is just something about catching that moment or age in time.
Their precious looks... their eyes... oh.. i am sounding like a hallmark ad!

Okay first I had the pleasure of shooting Declan!

I have had the chance for 3 no 4 years of capturing his expressions.
When I first got to D's house all he wanted to do is play with trains!
So that is what we did!




After that when he got tired we talked a bit!





Then I call this my HOME ALONE photo!


And then D got sleepy!

CHRISTMAS WITH KENDRA

It is that time of the year everyone is trying to get their holiday portraits done
and holiday shopping done!

And what better way to kick off the holiday season other than shooting
portraits of my niece KENDRA!!!!!

Kendra is now 10 months old and crawling!

Her personality is really starting to develop and her teeth too!




The Many Faces of KENDRA!!!!!!!




I also thought that this was the perfect time to capture so baby bum time!

Now Come on Seriously!



This just makes my day!
