Baby Blue Storyboard* Edition:

Normally I prefer the Bits and Pieces Storyboard in Black and White, but Mama and Daddy really like blue so I left it color for the full effect. Here is a little preview of Little M’s upcoming sneak peek. Check back next week, you won’t want to miss this beautiful baby and his gorgeous hair!!

*10×20 Bits and Pieces Storyboard

Oh my. Not only is ‘Little Miss I’ the cutest baby ever, she was SO sweet! Shooting outdoors in the Vegas heat in 100+ temperatures is pretty brutal, but this little honey didn’t complain or cry at all. She sat in my chair like a champ and even practiced her standing.

Are her eyes amazing or what?!? Big brown eyes are so expressive! Both of my kids have light eyes (blue and green) so shooting brown eyed beauties is always fun.

While she didn’t LOVE the basket, she didn’t scream and cry to get out, so in my mind that is pure success!

And of course those amazing eyes in black and white.

After a quick wardrobe change we were off to the grasses. By this point we were all melting, so the fact that ‘Little Miss I’ is still smiling is pretty amazing. And what a smile she has - I could just eat her up.

And last but not least this adorable expression that I love and another go at using textures.

Lucky me, I get to see this little honey again in a few weeks for some family shots. I tell you, I have the best job in the whole world!!! Thank you Mama B for allowing me to capture your beautiful daughter for her one year birthday!!! I can’t wait to see you again.

More Adorable Cuteness Edition:

I know! Finally a Foto Friday WITH pictures. =)

I don’t use textures all that much, but felt like it worked on these two. What do you think?

I had the pleasure of photographing the cutest family last weekend. {K} will be three and the other {K} will be one. Could they be any cuter!?!?

The minute older sister {K} saw my camera she immediately tilted her head and started posing - future model maybe? She was so sweet and we even had a duet of Little Mermaid together, although I hear her favorite is Lady Gaga. Little Mermaid I can do, Lady Gaga, not so much. =)

And those big brown eyes on little {K} are simply gorgeous. She wasn’t a happy camper and I don’t blame her. It was her naptime, it was 105 degrees and muggy, she hated the grass, and she had some stranger in her face with a camera. Luckily Mom’s worked their magic and I was able to get some cute shots of her.

Seriously gorgeous family right?

And of course I love candids and this one just stole my heart. I love everything about it.

J and F thank you again for choosing me as your photographer - I had a great time with your family despite the crazy heat!!.
