My two year old: He loves trains. Can you tell?

This little guy is growing up so fast.  Don't they all?  I thought I would post a few of my favorites from his 2 yr photo shoot.  We live here in Tillamook Oregon now and these were taken down by the Air Museum.  He loved pushing his little Thomas the train down the side of the "big" rusty trains.  I love photographing my children.  I haven't been able to do much work for others recently, and you can probably guess why.  Three little ones keep you pretty busy!  Sometimes I miss it, but I am having so much fun just being mom too.  I will be taking a very limited amount of customers a year now, since my family is my priority.  Thanks for looking!

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. 

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!

Handsom Babe

This little guy, just a few weeks old here, is the newest addition to the "Lyle" family. I've had fun in the past photographing them and I, of course, am always delighted when they come back! Congrats on your little new addition! Shown here: My vibrant black & white & secret black & white formulas. :)

Stapleton's newborn

What a sweetie! Have I mentioned how much I love to hold those little newborns? I loved holding this little guy...it brought back memories of when his older brother was so tiny as well. I'm so glad mommy decided to be in a few shots too. You two look great!

Little Newborns

This photo was actually from a previous photo shoot. I just loved it so much I decided to post it now.

The "B" Family

I had the pleasure of photographing some friends of ours before they moved...and I have to say I am going to miss them! This family is so adorable. We went with somewhat of an "urban" feel and I absolutely love the results! I am loving this tutu idea, as well. So cute. We got so many fun shots that it was very difficult for me to decide which ones to post on the blog. But, I narrowed it down to these six. What do you think?
Thanks again and keep in touch!

Little Brookie (As many call her)

If there is any girl who deserves to be called princess, this little one is it! She was a hoot! Always giggling and loved to run around...constantly. She was so fun. I just chased her around on the golf course, getting her personality on camera. Love the tutu...and great Father's Day present idea!

Sloane -3months!

Yeah! It's time for Sloane's 3 month pics! I photographed the first two years of her brother's life, and now it's her turn! (That is ... if her mom keeps giving me the pleasure.) She is so full of joy and a super happy babe. Love those giggles! This age is so fun...just when all the expressions come out.

Spencer

Now this little fella was so animated! He made me giggle so many times I could hardly stand it! I love that drool! What a sweetie. He pulled so many fun expressions...
I had such a good time taking his photos. I love babies!

Baby Isaac

This little kiddo was so fun. He is at such a fun age, when their little tongues just keep coming out of their mouths. He had a few shy moments, but once he warmed up to me, his smiles came out no problem. I always love trying to get these little guys to smile because eventually they giggle back at you with those big open mouths...and then come the baby chuckles. he he
Thanks Abby for sharing your little guy for a little while!

Stella

A good friend of mine had a wonderful idea. She was watching her friend's baby today and asked me to take some pictures of her. She wanted to surprise her friend with a gift portrait....
So, here are a few results from our little "mini" session. This little Stella is just absolutely adorable and just seems to be all smiles. I especially love the drool! :) What lucky parents she has! So, thank you, to my friend Sarah for coming up with this fun idea of surprising them.
