So I am officially the crappiest blogger EVER! Here I have literally MONTHS of photos to blog and I am hogging all of these  to myself.  Well shame on me!

Allow me to introduce – {about 3 months later} baby “T”  she is the beautiful daughter of the mama shown HERE.  And like mama like daughter for sure!!! She was such a joy to photograph ~ I can’t wait to get my hands on her again:)

YIKES!  I can’t believe I am just now getting to this, but I just HAD to post a few more from my two BFF’s baby girls sessions.  I told ya you’d be seeing more of this buggy, but I could just die that got her in this pose!!!   I have been trying this one for a while and little “I” was just too precious for letting me ~ Thanks baby girl!

And this is baby “P” all the way out in Colorado.  She was such a peanut that she curled up to pose in Daddy’s hat.   Ahhhh, you girls were soooooo good for Auntie!

and look at the lips… just like mama’s!

Okay… a few days after I got home from Denver my girlfriend calls and tells me that there was a BEAR ATTACK at the location we were at above! WHAAAAAT???  Holy %$#@!

Note to self… scout locations VERY carefully when going out of state!!!  Really pretty spot though, I’d use it again  ~  Nope, didn’t learn my lesson:)

You girls have the most beautiful babies and such GREAT models too!  You must have given them a pep talk before I got there:)  It almost makes me want another girl…  but then I remember about a little thing called {hormones}   Naaaaa!  Besides, now Bruce can hang out with my BFF’s beautiful girls ~ LOL!

I just love you girls!  And your girls!  xoxo

Introducing little “I”  This is my very dear friends newest daughter.  I had so much fun on our wilderness shoot…  coming very soon:)  I just HAD to post this one ~ it is definitely one of my new favorites. Congrats Hammy’s, she is PERFECT!

I just got home from Denver shooting another BFF’s baby girl too ~WOW, tow girls in one week.  Be on the lookout for her very soon too.  They were born one week from each other and they are both going to be GORGEOUS just like their mamas:)  I love you girls!

xoxoxox Auntie Jackie

aka… the crazy lady with the camera attached to my face

It’s a BOY !!!!!!

And daddy was so exhausted, I caught him taking a little cat nap in the hospital.

Our newest little man is super handsome if I do say so myself… I just LOVE his little chin, and he is pretty impressed with himself as well.

It just amazes me to see what nearly 10 months of pregnancy is capable of producing.  Even more amazing is how darn fast it is all over and you blink your eyes and these tiny fingers and toes turn into big old hand and feet that belong to little people with minds and ideas of their very own.  I am definitely enjoying this itty bitty baby phase that is so priceless.

I had some of my lovely and talented photographer friends come and help me capture this super tiny phase of my little “B’s ” life and I love the little props that they brought!  I have many more from the session to share, just not enough computer time to share them yet.  Be on the lookout for more of my little monkey soon.

This next shot is the brainchild of another one of my super photog friends and I.  I got in touch with the original owner of this AMAZING vintage pram and I jumped at the opportunity and snatched it up.  In talking with a good friend of mine that was going to help me take some pics of my little guy, she came up with the perfect location for our idea, and Viola!  Of course I love everything about this photo, especially the subject:)  But another thing that I love about this is the sense of history that this stroller has.  I could feel the connection that it’s owner had with it and the reluctance to selling such a great piece that has been in the family for so long and seen and strolled so many babies.  I can’t wait to stroll my little man around in this old gem and I hope to keep all the great  memories coming.  I am just positive that you will be seeing a lot more of it in the future.

A big thank you to everyone from the bottom of my heart for helping our family with everything from photos to dinners and everything in between!  We are truly blessed with amazing family and friends and I just don’t know what we’d do without each and every one of you!

Last weekend I met up with a photographer friend of mine to have some photo fun with her brand new twin boys, and were they ever sweet!  She’s a pro, not only at photography, but as professional Mama too, this is her SECOND set of twins!  ”Say WHAT???”  Her girls just turned 3, how fun is that!?!  Anyway, the spotlight was on these guys and they were such good boys, not to mention handsome. Take a peek…

Congrats “L”, they are absolutely perfect!

Allow me to give a warm welcome to little baby “T”… well I suppose she’s isn’t so little anymore, at nearly 6 weeks she has grown some beautiful chub:) Which, by the way is one of my favorite baby traits!

And we can’t forget about her beautiful new big sis “C” you may recognize her from HERE!!
She is just the sweetest thing ever, she greeted me with a hug and gave me tons of hugs all throughout our session – I just love you to pieces “C”

You have the most precious girls “H” family! Thanks for letting me share in the celebration of your new addition.

Allow me to introduce baby boy “M”, the 4th baby for the “A” family and the 3rd consecutive boy! And let me tell you these are some handsome boys:) Of course big sis is absolutely gorgeous also, but today is all about baby “M” who stole the show…

I just love his baby faux hawk.

I am always trying to catch the yawn, it’s GOT to be my favorite little baby face EVER! Here it is:)

Can’t forget about those precious tootsies – Love em!

Congrats “A” family, it was so great to meet you your newest little man and get a peek at a day in the life your beautiful family.

What an amazing Christmas miracle, this little sweetheart was born a full 4 weeks early and came home healthy as ever! She must have just been so darn excited to spend her first Christmas with everyone. Who wants to be cooped up in a belly, when you could be joining in all the festivities on the outside? Anyway little “A” was cute as a button and so ready for her session, that she hardly slept a wink:) We were able to get some of my favorites EVER though and here she is in her photo debut – Little miss “A”

Look at those proud parents! Congratulations you two, she is an absolute angel.

Hello, I’m still alive! I have been having the best season and it’s coming to a close very soon, but I just couldn’t go one more day without posting some of the fun that I’ve been having.  So sit back, relax, grab a snack, maybe a cocktail and take a peek at what I’ve been so busy with.

Whew! Thanks for hangin’ in there for the mother of all posts. I am sooooo incredibly lucky and fortunate to have met all the lovely babies, children, pets and families that I had the pleasure of working with with season. Thank you all for making my year so wonderful by closing up the season on such a great note. I hope you are all enjoying your holiday cards which I can’t wait for you to send out and I hope to see you all in front of my camera again very soon! Have a great Thanksgiving and I am officially going to promise to be a better blogger. So I am going to rest up and get ready for my big debut as a cook. I am in charge of cooking one of the 2 turkeys for our family’s feast tomorrow and I’m praying that mine doesn’t resemble the Turkey from the movie Christmas Vacation when Clark Griswold begins to carve the beautiful bird just as it bursts open and steam fills the air with the charred remains of the holiday turkey. Lets all keep our fingers crossed!

Allow me to introduce sweet baby “M”. At 8 weeks old she is hardly a newborn anymore, but let’s give her a break, coming home at under 4 pounds she had to plump up for her big photo debut:) you’d never know it by looking at her now that she was born nearly 6 weeks early, she is absolutely beautiful and thriving.

I love how babies are always comforted by the arms of their mothers. We even got a little smile out of her.

There are definitely advantages to taking newborn photos within the first few weeks, their willingness to sleep, sleep, sleep, their tiny pliable bodies that love to be curled into a little ball, capturing the utter newness of ever wrinkle and expression. But in our case, baby “M” was an excellent subject and too gorgeous for words, and the best part was that at a mature 8 weeks old she was showing off her precious little smile that most newbies save for those later weeks.

Congratulations “W” family, she is just precious!
