Sweet baby Kaliyah!

On the weekend I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet and beautiful almost 6 pound little baby girl named Kaliyah.

She was a dream to have in the studio, she was awake then sleepy and very much smiley. She came later then expected and still managed to be a tiny almost 6 pounds at birth. I WISH mine were like that! haha mine were not too bad/big I guess. Kaliyah has been welcomed into a family with two really nice, sweet and loving parents, an 8 year old Sister Jada and a set of twin girls Isis and Keyana at the age of 2. That will be one really fun household when the girls are all teenagers. John will have his hands full trying to keep all the boys away from his 4 little beauties!

Thank you so much Rachel and John for making the trip and bringing in your precious little addition into see me. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! :D



I love her tiny little bracelet! :)





Check out her big beautiful smile we caught above...LOVE IT!


Cutie pies or what?!

3 little babes and a whole lot of lupines!

So I headed back with all three babes to the field of lupines a few days ago. We were originally going to head there later in the evening but we opted to go in the middle of the most gorgeous day which is not the best idea as the sun was too bright and hot but we didn't care we were just happy to enjoy it.

This chair is special as it is the Children's late Great Grandmothers chair. It is a fantastic chair and must have many great stories if only it could talk. We will be embarking on many more adventures with this chair. :)

Sadly Grandma past away shortly after Silver was born and they did not have a chance to meet. Here Silver leaves a space for her to sit while they enjoy this glorious day. :)


Above Silver is sucking her thumb...sooo cute!
And below she is blowing raspberries...silly girl, and possibly trying to drive an imaginary car!





This last picture was taken later in the evening that day...as u can see the light is a lot more calm.

My beautiful Silver!

Last week Silver and I headed to the end of our street where there is a field full of these purple lupins. I had noticed them the week before and thought how perfect they would be for a couple pics with the babes.

Arabella aka Strawberry Shortcake!

Arabella completed her second year of dance this year. She is so sweet and just thinking of her on stage makes me smile. She always has a big smile for me and always says "HI MOMMY" to me with a big wave from up on stage. I'm pretty sure this is probably the last year she will do that though. Can't wait for next year! :D

Thanks so much to Amanda and Natasha at Valley Dance you two are terrific and we all appreciate you so very much! ;)

I thought we should head down to the studio for a few pics before her finale that night.

Dance Rehearsal!

Arabella at her dress rehearsal!

Arabella turns 4!

I can hardly believe my oldest just turned 4! I remember the day I found out I was pregnant with her as if it were yesterday. Her Father and I had headed out to The Keg for Dinner. I was so excited to eat my steak and lobster lol... As we waited everything was great, everyone else's food looked fantastic and smelled delicious. All until our food arrived at the table. Suddenly I felt incredibly nauseous. I could not even look at the food, let alone eat it. And for anyone that knows me that just isn't right because I love to eat. haha At that moment I was positive that I was pregnant with my first.

Ever since I have been on an incredible journey full of anticipation, wonder, smiles, laughter, love and so much more.

Arabella is a very bright, sensitive, funny, gentle, caring and loving child with a HUGE personality. I am so blessed to have her in my life and call her my own.
Love ya Boo, Boo! :D xoxo

Behm Children!

A few weeks back I photographed the Behm Children. Their Mom contacted me and wanted some surprise pics for their Dad on Father's Day. What a GREAT idea! I don't usually photograph kids but after their session I felt like I should do it a little more. I had such a wonderful time with all 3, they were so fun and full of life they had me laughing and smiling hours after their session had ended. Thanks so much Christina, you are one lucky Mama to have such awesome kids. :)

Princess x 2!

I wanted to take little Boo down to the studio to take a few pics as she would be turning 4 later that week. So we picked out a fun and colorful tutu and a yellow tank to match of course because lellow is her all time FAVORITE color ever since she could talk. We got her all jazzed up and of course coco is wondering and asking where is my gert? I wanna gert! etc, etc... so rather then have him being left out and utterly disappointed I had the perfect gert for him with matching tank and hair clip...haha

So here are my little big babes bustin a move and get groovy in the studio.

Please don't feel bad for my son dressed in girly clothing... he loves it! I do not ask him or force him to do so. If I don't let him dress in girly fashions he is not happy about that. He has now kidnapped one of Boo's Princess nighties as well. And tonight when I put him to bed he told me he was a Princess...Princess Aurora he says. haha sweetie pie!



lol Shakin their little bootys!



I am soooo stinkin LUCKY, look at those faces!

4 months!

Silver has really discovered blowing raspberries...it is now her favorite pass time.



I am way behind blogging and thought I better get on it while I literally possibly have about 2-5 minutes.

Silver is now 4 months well 4.5 actually. She is as sweet as can be and absolutely perfect. She makes the sweetest noises, faces and is becoming such a little person now. I can hardly remember her as a newborn anymore, I feel like it went by sooo fast and it feels like such a blur with everything that has come our way. Silver is quite lovely and happy except for her sometimes daily... hmmmmm I don't even know what to call it. My poor baby has had very miserable moments(that can last for hours) ever since she was 3 weeks and it hasn't stopped yet. I seriously don't understand how these little perfect babies can go through so much and there seems to be nothing anyone can do for her or really say what is up with her. It's heart breaking! And to top off all that now she is teething, and not just any tooth a molar to be her first, which came up and then went back down again. BOO! She is only 4 months old and I feel like she has endured so much pain in her little life so far. :( I guess maybe it's colic...who knows. All I know is it is terrible and I wish there was some magical remedy that would make it go away.

Check back again soon, lots more to blog... If I can manage to sneak a few minutes here or there. :) I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful sunshine we have in the Valley today. Now if only it will stay for a while.
