Oh little bunny, that huge toothless grin and smiley eyes are far too cute for Mommy to handle. I love how proud you are of yourself when you figure things out. You are stunning. ox

Love Mommy ~

(These were taken back in March … Sometimes I don’t get around to personal images as often as I would like. lol.)

Sweet Darling, you came a long way to visit me. We listened to music and danced. You tapped your foot to the music and your joy was soul lifting. Just like the fresh tulips blooming, your energy felt like spring. You are radiant love. Pure light.

Sweet child. Wonder love. A Mommy’s heart could burst with happiness when experiencing the beauty in the details of you. To be a Mommy is magic. It is a wonder to feel such fierce love sparked from the softest of touches. ox

What an honor it is to witness a tiny rose blossom.  It is a gift to me as a story teller, to grow with the beautiful souls and to see what amazing people they become.

Yay!  My orders that I placed just before the holidays are starting to finally arrive (with vengeance).  I am currently sorting through them all so that they can make it to their new homes!  If you are waiting to hear from me, you will be soon!  I will also be taking the next couple days to respond to all the emails received while I was on my wee holiday.

The new year has really got me all fired up, full of motivation and totally inspired.  I have some exciting projects on the horizon – some business, some personal and some non photography related as well.  One thing I am excited about is some new custom display products that will be available this year as well.  It’s going to be an amazing year!

PS – Isn’t the lovely Miss Lila (above) so cute it hurts? lol!  She is the sweet miss of my very good friend Andrea Hanki from Pink Sugar Photography

One is a fantastic age.  Little people are so full of life and energy at this age.  I adore how they learn to use their pointer finger and thumb.  At first they sometimes use the side of their pointer finger, like this little fella was doing to pick up his snack in the first image below.  Little details to remember ♥

I just *adore* photographing older babies and toddlers.  They are growing, changing and coming into their very own personalities.  I am so gratful to capture such pure beauty.

This little girlie was such a good, sweet model for me!  I loved getting to meet her and her lovely parents recently at the studio for her newborn session.

I totally love these images individually.  I think they are both so precious and highlight what a little button she is.  I also can’t help but love seeing these two images side by side.  The darker black and white on one and the greenish/chartreuse on the other makes for a delicious color combo!

Being a toddler is silly, drooly & sleepy (but there is too much to miss if you actually have a nap) business.  Babies are awesome!  Seriously awesome.
