Baby girl turns 2!

I'm a little slow at getting these done, but I got them done none-the-less. My little stinker turned 2 a few weeks ago and I finally just got it set up to get it done. The funny thing is that I put her in a nice clean dress, washed her face and did her hair and although of course I think she looks adorable, in the end, it doesn't look like "her". So, here are a few of my faves and then after that I'm putting up a few I took on the fly that are much more her. Either way, I think she's super cute!

Princess for a day

My baby girl (2nd to last baby girl) turned four today. My oldest wanted to doll her up and make her a princess to celebrate, so we did. Then of course we had to take her outside for some pictures. She works the camera well if I may say so for myself. Sure love this little girl! Definitely one of the prettiest princesses I've ever seen!

In the past

So I've been missing doing photo shoots lately. I haven't done much since I've moved and in some ways that's kept my life calmer, but I miss it. I was going through some old pictures and realized there are several I never posted. It made me happy to work on them, so the next few posts will be from the fall before I moved...

My friend Gina has these darling children. 3 beautiful girls (set of twins) and this darling boy with this great curly hair. They older two were pros! They'd been in front of the camera before!

New Nephew

I got a new nephew about 3 weeks after our baby was born. He is so sweet and just so perfect looking. My sister and her family came up for a visit so we snapped a few pictures of their cute family. We got one of the proud new big sister:

Then we got a few of the family together. You can see the personalities really shine in the family pictures! That little Maya is such a spaz!

 I really loved how vibrant the colors were and they were in my own back yard!  We love this family!

A little later on, Mama, baby and I snuck off for a quick photo session of just the babe and I thought some of these pictures just turned out so priceless. Isn't he just a beautiful baby?! Looking forward to more photos throughout his life!

 

Coopster

I love this little man, and now he's working with me when I try to get pictures of him. I made this little tie for him for Easter and wanted to get a few pics of him in it. This is what we came up with. He's so sweet!

My baby boy

I went a little crazy with my camera today taking pics of all my kiddos. I fell in love with a few of my little boy Cooper. I've been loving B&W lately, but I love seeing the color of his eyes, so I've been having a hard time deciding between the two. Love this little boy!

Another fun day....

The kids actually wanted to take pictures today. It was fun. My sister gave them this cute hat and so we played around with it a lot. I know there are a lot of B&W ones, for some reason some of the picture's colors were bad, but this first one of Liz I thought was great. Cute girls if I may say so myself! :)

Oh boy!

I've been itchin' to get some pics of my kids. I know I take them all the time, but I wanted something fun and cute. Cooper came in the room with one of the girl's friend's hat on and I thought it was cute, so I drug him upstairs for a few pics. I just think he's so handsome!

He wanted to play with my lighting umbrella and since he was being such a good sport.... I let him. He looks like a chimney sweeper to me here. :)

But just down right adorable here!

Post #2

How about that! My second post today. This family is a friend of mine. Our little girls play together and go to preschool together. The first time I saw this little girl, I knew she would photograph so well and I was right. She's such a beautiful little girl. We had a little wrestling with the boys, many goofy faces and starting over the posing and such, but it was fun and I think we got a good shot of everyone. Here are some of my favorites from this session.
