Two Little Princesses

I really do love meeting people who get out of the car and say “Oh, I’ve totally stalked your site for years!” I always say “Well why didn’t you call us earlier so we could get to know you??” That was this mommy. Then, her oldest little girl popped out of the car and shook my hand and said “Hey! You’re a photographer? That’s really cool. I think you’re really pretty.” and the two-year old was incredibly articulate too. I had a great chat with them through the night before I managed to sit in a fire-ant nest and scrape up my toe. Arg!! My injuries aside, aren’t these girls stunning?

I’m gonna watch you shine, gonna watch you grow.

And that’s just what we’ve gotten to do with this little beauty! Amazingly, she hasn’t changed much at all in her first year! As a Tales From the Crib baby planner we’ve seen her through each of her milestones during her first year! What a joy it has been! Her eyes have remained a stunning blue, and her grin is a little more toothy nowHappy birthday baby G!!!

Soggy but fun

This little man had a very soggy session at the gardens! At 8am, everything was still sopping wet in dew. Our shoes were sloshing and my pants cuff took hours to dry. Poor guy didn’t want to walk it in it, and I don’t blame him!!

Hello, wide awake!

This sweetie slept for TEN whole minutes out of this afternoon’s three hour newborn session. She was nursed, shushed, swung, swayed, swaddled, held, cuddled, patted… you name it… She wasn’t having any of it. Thank goodness mom was casual and open to that being how it was.

How I love my job!

These two girls (you may recognize them from last year when they both came in with their sister, Ava Jane) make me laugh so hard. So, we went out to the Botanical Garden on Sunday the 1st, but it was grey and dreary, then rained on us, and then my camera ran out of batteries right on the last shot I needed, so they came back out yesterday to finish up. It was grey and nasty the whole day except for that one little 45 minute section of sun we got last night when we were out there. We finished up the night at Marble Slab getting birthday cake ice cream ON my birthday. In fact, I think I may have turned 31 years old while we were sitting there. What a fantastic night!

Super hot

Yet another session in the hot hot nasty miserable heat! Nasty for everyone involved, but the colors are SO pretty! This poor guy was DONE at about 45 minutes in it. We tried, but I think we’re going to try again in October when it’s cooler!

A Storybook Story

This little sweetie started out so so super shy at first, but it wasn’t long before she was dancing and running like the true princess she is. I always love the magical looks I get out of them too, and everyone notices a Fairytale Princess coming!

Summer heat

This was a hot and nasty session out at the Botanical Gardens last night. I swear, I almost fell over from the heat and humidity. Even sweating didn’t help, it was so bad. Thank goodness this little guy was so smiley. He had a few moments of fuss, but then it was over in a blink and he was back to his happy self. He’s one of our Tales From the Crib baby planners, so check out his heads up session and his newborn session!
