Coming up.....

Last week was -- and still is -- an absolute blur to me. Not only did I get married on Wednesday, but we also had lots of Easter plans with our families. Factor in the sessions I did and BAM!....you've found yourself smack dab in the middle of Cah-raaazeee! Welcome to my world.

Needless to say I have some catchin' up to do. So stay tuned for:

Joel and his twin brothers (and the rest of the family)
A scrumptous little Kash
Career Day at Valley View Jr. High School
Easter at Aunt Wanda's
Duncan turns 7
and Foulk Landscaping

And since my posts are so much more fun with pictures, here's one of that cute 'lil Kash I told you about. If you can look at this picture and not smile or laugh, then you're missing a whole lot!
The interactions between mothers and their babies make me swoon. And just look at how proud that dad is!! That is raw emotion. And it's absolutely beautiful. (Kate, we need to make this one a canvas. K?)

More to come later in the week...

Ava

For as small as she is, Ava is a record-breaker for me. All 8 pounds and 2 ounces of her. Yep....to date, she is the absolute youngest client ever at Picture Fizz.

5 days old.

And practically perfect, I might add.


Babies are still, and probably always will be, my favorite sessions to shoot. There is something about how "moldable" they are. They're so fresh and new and innocent. And they smell soooo good (most of the time).

I always have a hard time picking out my favorite image from these sessions. But not this time. This was the winner, hands down.

Until I look at them again. =)

All but one image from this session took place in the living room on the couch. Ava's house has this beautiful, big window in the living room -- which was perfect for the session. Not too bright for the babies eyes, but bright enough for delicious lighting.

My clients are always amazed by how my newborn sessions work. This polka-dotted blanket is actually laying right on the sofa cushions. Most of the time these sessions take place right on momma's lap. No lights, no flash. Just a few pillows and some blankets.

Of course, my job is a lot easier when I have a cute baby to work with.

Sweet Baby Landon

Saturday morning, I went back to see Torrie. Except this time she had this cute little butter bean with her that she calls "Landon".

I call him pure bliss.

I'm not even 1/3 of the way thru little Landon's images, but I couldn't help but post just one.

And my favorite so far, too, I might add.

Finishing up....

...the session of Baby Jack and found this one of him with his big sister, Ella.

Baby Jack

I'm not even half way thru my session with this cute boy, but I couldn't resist posting one for his Mom to see. I know she's just as impatient as I am on seeing these. It's sessions like this that make me want to snap my fingers or do that Bewitched nose wiggle and the post-session editing be done.

My goodness.....this makes me want more babies.

Booked!

For those interested in fall sessions, all of my weekend openings are now booked thru October. I still have openings thru a few weekdays (October) and a few weekend sessions are still available in November. If you're still waiting to book your session, don't wait much longer! Spots are filling up quick!!

I know there are some of you that are wanting to get holiday photo cards done and it's still possible. In fact, if you book a family session October 1st thru November 14th, you'll get 50 free custom-designed holiday cards. Yes, I did say free. And truthfully, what would be cooler than having a holiday card featuring your family!??

If you need more details or need to schedule a date, email me!

And just because my posts are much more interesting with a picture, here's one from a newborn session I did a couple of weeks ago. Remember this little butterbean??

more of sweet Leila

I'm still working thru the shoot with this sweet little baby but had to share a couple more...

(babies always have the best lips)

Little Tiny Leila...

Gina, an awesome co-worker of mine, had a baby earlier this month and yours truly got the incredible priveledge to go shoot this little butter bean a couple days ago!

A 12 day old baby. The smell, the sounds, the sight of such a tiny little thing.....

*Sigh*

I have quite a few of images yet to edit from this little shoot, but I had to post one real quick. This was the last shot of the day.

The.

Very.

Last.

Shot.

Little D...round 2

So, remember this little guy?! My first session with D was when he was only a month old. Now, he's 3 months and twice the size he was then! I couldn't believe how much his looks have changed since I last saw him. He's so alert now. And happy!!! MY GOODNESS was this kid happy. He just kept smiling and laughing and smiling and coo-ing.


I love this stage of babies. When they're just starting to notice their surroundings and react to you. They find their hands and feet for the first time. When they smile like this it makes me wish there were some way we could jump inside their minds to know exactly what made them smile.

Isn't he cute!?
