Max & Cole '11

I once again got to capture these fun-loving, high-energy brothers on camera. The best part was when we learned half way through the shoot that Max was holding his hand in a fist in every shot so that he wouldn't lose a leaf he had found on the ground. His parents eventually convinced him to let the leaf go, but Max spent quite some time deciding exactly where to drop it into the river.

Tryg turns one!

Erik & Mindy wanted to capture some photos of Tryg just after his first birthday. What a cutie...















He looks really happy here, but it's not because Dad made a funny face (which was working like a charm the entire shoot). Nope. He's actually holding a rock in his hand that he's about to eat. Yum.



He was very excited about pulling his wagon. I think Erik & Mindy should start making him pull them around instead of the other way around.



I love this funny face we caught:



And he was all smiles with Mom & Dad.

Riley & Gracie '11

Riley & Gracie gave me a lot of smiles last weekend when I took their photos. I'm assuming it's because they just like me so very, very much now that we've had photo shoots 1, 2, 3 times already! Then again, it could be because summer vacation just started. Either way, they were all smiles.





And we definitely had some fun.




Twirl, Grace, Twirl!

Evan: 6 months

Meet Evan, a smiley six-month-old All Star with shining blue eyes.









I think he looks like a stoic hero in this shot.


They recruited Grandpa to come out and make Evan laugh. What I didn't know was that he was good at getting the ENTIRE family to laugh. Look at them go...

Ethan: 1 Month

Mom could calm him down in a second. Look at this adorable pair...



And grandma didn't do too bad, either...



Look at those tiny fingers.



Thanks to Catherine and Steve for letting me meet Ethan!

Baby Landon

A few weeks ago my cousin Doug and his wife Erika welcomed a new member to their family. Landon was born on 12/27, weighing less than 7 lbs. My sister-in-law Lauren and I rushed over to capture some newborn pics of the wide-eyed little guy. Landon was a great model and I hope I get to work with him again!







Look at those wide eyes!



Dad might have him in the palm of his hand, but I'm pretty sure he already has dad wrapped around his finger.





He got a little upset about all the nudity.



But Dad calmed him down in a second.



And then he would sleep just about anywhere.



An adorable new family.







Sweet dreams to the little guy.
