My littlest one. 4 months. Crazy.

Here are just a few of my little guy's pics from his 4 month shoot.  Things are crazy around my house as the holidays are approaching....so this is all I can post for now.  Isn't he the cutest???  He giggles non-stop at anything and everything.  He is extremely ticklish and light-hearted.  So much fun!!!

My little lady.

My little sassafrass is noticing that her photo shoots are coming less and less often. (Which they are.  I slow down to once a year after age 2....except for holidays. The first two years it's: Newborn, 3 mo, 6 mo, 9 mo, 18 mo, and 2).  She was so delighted when I told her it's finally her turn for pictures again.  When it was over, she asked if she could do it again sometime.  I had no idea she loved it so much!  What a ham.

My littlest man!

Here is a sneak peak at my newbie.  He is so tiny and my other baby seems so big now!  This little guy is a lot of fun.  Unfortunately though, his face sprung a very bad case of acne right before picture day.  But, with a little photoshop help, you can see his real face here.  A friend made his little outfit for me and although it didn't quite turn out the way I envisioned (it may be a little on the "fluffy" side) I still thought it was cute.  What do you think?

My little 18 month old...already!

My little man is already 18 months old.  I can't believe it.  He is the first one in our family to get pictures taken in our new little town of Tillamook!  I am going to love living so close to the beach.  I thought we got some pretty cute stuff, especially considering that I captured these as an overdue prego lady...the day before I gave birth to his little brother.  (Pictures of him to come soon).  Here are just a few of my favorites.

Little Brookie (for the last time...boo hoo!)

Here are some of my favorites of little Brookie.  I have loved photographing her over the years, and I fear this may be the last time for a while...since I just moved away from her family!  We miss you guys already!  We had a great time on the shoot and got just enough photos in between rain showers.

A Fab Family

The Weber's are friends of ours and I am so happy to show off their pics!  We had many fun moments, making it very difficult to narrow it down....hence the large post here.  But, take a gander at these beauties!  Mommy is very stylish and put a lot of thought into their clothing choices.  Don't they look Fabulous?

Itty Bitty Kate

This little girl has got to be the most alert newborn I have ever had the pleasure of photographing.  She wanted to see what was going on at all times! What a sweetie.  We hoped to get just a few sleeping baby pictures, but who can complain with those big gorgeous eyes staring at you?  I think we got some really great shots here.  Whoohoo!

Sloane 1-Year!

You may have seen this little face before.  I have been able to photograph her as she grows....and here she is at 1 year old!  She is so sweet and fun.  I think her personality just shines.  I love photographing babies naked, one last time at 1 year old.  I do this with my own children as well.  Love those cheeks!
Her mommy also has great taste when picking out her clothes....Sloane just looks so pretty in pink!

Janel and Derek's Family

Janel and Derek have a cute little family of 3...soon to be 4!  It was definitely a pleasure taking their pictures.  Their little Brookie is so full of energy and feisty....which makes for fun photo-shoots.  We just walked around Ann Arbor and had a blast watching her giggle and run around.   I will definitely miss these good friends of mine when we move this year.  Thank you for having me take your photos so often!  I look forward to Brooklynn's next photo shoot.
