I had my first opportunity to meet this little guy last year ….

Little Seth was so tiny he curled up in the palms of Daddy’s hands just perfectly, what a little sweetheart! Needless to say, when his Mommy called to book his 1 year session I jumped at the chance, there is something so special about having the opportunity to capture a sweet little soul when they’re first born and then having the honor of visiting with them again as they hit that milestone first birthday! They grow so quickly as it is but that first year goes by in a blink of an eye, it never ceases to amaze me how much they change in such a short period of time.

I am so NOT a foot person, ok, that’s putting it mildly. Yet for some reason I totally adore baby toes! I’m also a huge fan of tubby baby Buddha bellies, which means it was only natural for me to instantly fall in love with this shot.

Yep – The salt water is fun but I’m guessing from the look on his face it’s not all the tasty!  ;)

Sneak Peek, Jake & Luke visit Pelican Bay in Naples

I just adore these two little guys. Mom & Dad are just as much fun as their boys, up for anything, “Just do your thing” she tells me. I love to do my thing… :)

So what do ya think Mom? Not too shabby if I do say so myself. I hope the boys picked out super prizes from Target, they were FAN-TAS-TIC!! Proofs will be ready VERY soon!!! :)

I just adored how little Luke would stand on his tippy-toes, grab Daddy’s head with both hands and plant a kiss right on it. So sweet!

Well, if there is one thing you can say about a beach session with me, it’s never dull.

Happy Saturday!

We took a trip to the park this morning, the skies are so blue with the perfect amount of white fluffy clouds, just another beautiful day in paradise. Hopefully you’re having a wonderful Saturday with your family too!

Oooo fliggity…

Doesn’t that just sound fun?! A few days back I received an email for a new boutique clothing store for children. Always on the hunt for something new and creative I read further…”Clothing Inspired by a Child’s Imagination” hmmm, sounds interesting. As I came to the end of the email I realized this store was the brainchild of one of my own clients, how exciting!! A wonderfully talented and fun mommy & daddy with two gorgeous girls whom I’ve had the pleasure of photographing a few times now. Their site caters to the imagination of children, giving them fun, colorful, clothing that is sure to bring a smile to their face (& yours!) Grab your superhero cape and fly on over to fliggity for a colorful treat! Just in case you forgot your flying cape at home, clicking the image below will take ya there too! ;)

Fly on over to fliggity!

Sharks in the waters of Sanibel Island?!

hee hee made ya look! Ok, not really a shark. Just a happy little dolphin swimming close to shore. I would’ve preferred to have caught him mid jump with the family looking on but it just wasn’t in the stars that day. Still, I hope this image will bring back sweet memories for an adorable Indianapolis family. Little Mika clearly has Mommy & Daddy wrapped around her finger. Five minutes with her and you can understand why! :)

Sneak Peek, Jake and Sam

From Michigan to Naples…that’s a long trip! Mom has been so patient with my while I played catch up thanks to computer mishaps and workshops on the other side of the country… Of course I’m rushing to get caught up, clients are patiently waiting for their proofs and, of course, my OTHER computer is acting like a slug. Not the one that just crashed, my editing pc. Adobe bridge has crashed at least 6 times today, I’ve rebooted, cleared the cache, reset the ram usage…etc and so on. Just one more session to go and I will be officially “caught up” but it seems as though my PC has it in for me. I will not go MAC, I refuse! So, when you’re done looking at these most adorable little guys and your surfing on your computer worry-free, you might want to stop by this site, have a little chuckle and then beam me a little happy pc mojo please. Much appreciated! Everything you ever wanted to know about Murphy’s Law.

This is Jake. Jake is a ham, he had me cracking up with his air guitar and dance moves.

This is Sam. Sam is a wee bit more cautious than Jake and therefore was not 100% sure he wanted to be my new friend. That’s ok though, he decided to do his own thing and I was perfectly content to step back and just capture him being who he is. :)
