E and Remy have developed an adorable little friendship over E’s last several visits to FL. E now even has a name for Remy (“Hem”) and talks about him a lot – and by talks about him, I mean he reminisces with sounds, signs, and pointing. He’s not quite on full sentences yet. And Remy is preparing to be a big brother, being so sweet to E, calling him “Baby Efan,” holding his hand as they go places, and protecting him from other kids who try to steal his Thomas toy. They’re crazy cute on their own, and put them together… adorableness ensues.

Here they are, two of my favorite subjects:

E & Rem

And no visit with E can be complete without at least a mini photo shoot, so here are some shots of this very handsome and quickly growing-up 20-month-old, showing off his amazing Cleveland-white legs in his FL shorty shorts:

E

The two shots that make me crazy to look at…

E and his BFF (oh, and mom) checking out the wild squirrels:

One last shot – Sweet little Rem:

Those two boys make me very happy. Lots of cuteness. 🙂

Just a few months ago, we met Madeline for the first time when she and her parents visited us from NY. Last week, Maddie’s cousin Noah, along with his parents and grandparents, got away from the cold dreariness that is March in the northeast to enjoy some warm sunshine in Sarasota. I loved seeing the resemblance in the two cousins – They even made similar noises!

Noah is really adorable, and we all had a fun time taking some shots around the beach before the little guy got sleepy. 🙂

Here’s the whole crew:

Noah and family

And the sweet boy, being a sport laying in the sand:

Excited to see everyone again in June when we finally make our way to visit NY!

A slightly belated 18-month post for E’s cousin Nathan, so happy 19.5 months, little guy!

These are my two favorite shots of this incredibly adorable boy’s session. He’s so photogenic – that hair, those eyes, his sweet expressions… I think he’s getting even cuter! And the outfit complements his coloring so well (nice work, Ben!). I love photographing this kid!

A lot of my Cleveland clients vacation here in Sarasota, and what a great time to do family photos (instead of in the slushy chilliness that is Cleveland right now). Love it!

Little Natalie, big-brother Tyler, and family made the 18-hour drive (…during the kids’ waking hours, no less! Very impressive.) and are here visiting the little ones’ great-grandmother. Before heading to spend a couple days in Disney, they met me for a tropical photo session, and I can’t even stand the family cuteness…

Jared, Tyler, Susan, Natalie, Marjorie, & Julie

Two of my favorite shots from the session. Not sure it’s visible in this preview, but you can see Julie going for a high-five in Jared’s sunglasses:

Natalie & Jared, Julie & Tyler

The kids were so well behaved and camera-ready… I couldn’t believe it. Most little ones require me (and their parents) to do a lot of coaxing, chasing, singing… whatever it takes to get some great shots. And I don’t mind that – I expect it. They’re little! But that’s not to say that I don’t love the rare occasion that I get a 19-month-old who poses and a 4-year-old brother who helps carry the little chair, hugs his sister, climbs a tree and smiles…

Natalie

Tyler

Lastly, I love these family shots. I was taking some photos of Julie and Jared, and then the kiddos stole the show.

Julie, Jared, Tyler, & Natalie

Such a fun session on an absolutely perfect FL spring day!

E’s in Sarasota! 🙂

Snuggle time with J, signing “water” while looking at the ocean, and hoping to see some birds:

Ella’s back! This time, she’s sharing the spotlight with her new, 6-week-old baby brother, Jack. I’ve photographed Ella so often in her first year and a half that I’ve really been able to watch her transform from a baby into a little lady (Ella at 16 months, 1 year, 7 months, and 4 months)! Now, it’s adorable to see her as a big sister, not terribly interested in Jack but also sweet and loving to him when she feels like it. 🙂

And Jack is one handsome boy – and so snuggly. He would prefer to be held at all times, but we had to get some shots of him on his own!

“That’s my name, don’t wear it out!” (the inner monologue I picture for him in this shot):

Jack

Isn’t he scrumptious?

Jack

Meanwhile, big sister Ella cracked herself (and me) up:

Ella

Ella tried to hold Jack and give him kisses, but he wasn’t feelin’ it… (Ella’s faces make me smile.)

Ella & Jack

…He was somewhat more content hanging out alone (for a minute), so Ella chilled on the chair showing off her awesome Elmo slippers:

Jack & Ella

And lastly, this family photo exudes happiness and love to me – baby snuggles, toddler kisses… That’s a good time.

Laura, Jack, Ella, and Ryan

I’ve had so much fun capturing Ella’s first year and a half on her own, and now I’m excited to watch both her and Jack grow up before my eyes (and lens)!

I was so excited that this family was up for a full-on snowy session! And they brought along their gorgeous Bernese Mountain Dog, Apollo (my second puppies-in-snow shoot for the week!). I think 8-year-old Jacob was excited to be able to sled and play, while 17-month-old Asher was a little unsure of the knee-deep snow… Apollo had a blast and was not the easiest to corral, but we managed to get a bunch of great family shots nonetheless. And they were all great sports about the chilly temps and lack of plowed paths!

Here’s one of my faves:

Steve, Asher, Rayna, Jacob, & Apollo

I love this moment:

Asher and Rayna

This one, too (Asher’s first time sledding!) 🙂

Jacob, Asher, and Steve

Asher didn’t really mind the snow when he had a sled to sit on:

And one last shot of the beautiful Apollo in his glory:

It’s official. E’s a kid. I used to think 18-month-olds were still babies, but considering E says “baby” (well, signs it – he’s working on the words thing) when he sees a little one, I’m not sure anymore… (I recommend skipping to the photos if you aren’t obsessed with E.)

He makes up his own games (rolling a ball under furniture, saying “Uh oh!”, and attempting to retrieve it with a stick – good times), feeds himself with utensils (until the food-to-mouth speed becomes too frustrating and he reverts back to hands), loves slapstick comedy (if you want to see the kid laugh, bonk your head on a cabinet, accidentally – he knows the difference, or pretend to feed yogurt to a plant), and has a memory that I can’t believe… During one snowfall, I quickly pointed out the snowflakes on his sleeves – I am obsessed with those beautifully formed snowflakes that look fake they’re so perfect – and over a week later, when we watched snow coming down from inside, he pointed to sleeve and looked at me, wondering why those snowflakes weren’t on his arm again (I didn’t say he’s a genius that grasps the concept that the snow wouldn’t fall inside).

Here are some shots I took of him last week with his BFFs (I found someone who can appreciate my monkey collection – and make it less weird that I still have it!). He was acting like a monkey here – if only I had accompanying audio… His monkey sound is at a decibel that’s hard to reach…

This boy is so expressive. I can’t even stand his face in the first photo in the second row. He’s always loved to have a bit of a spaz-fest:

E with monkeys

And a shot of this precious kissable face:

E 18 months

These past 18 months have been the best – Thanks, Ezel, for being so much fun! Excited for millions more snuggles, laughs, and kisses (although now he’s starting to have opinions about when we’re allowed to kiss him – not sure how I feel about that).

Heading back to FL, but first I have to post about this little one…

On Friday, I photographed beautiful, tiny 6-day-old Liora Keren (before her baby naming, actually, so big sister Eliana was calling her “Tallulah” after a favorite character in one of her books). She was so alert, adorable, and petite, and the house was filled with coziness and love – one of the things I love about going to families’ homes for newborn shoots.

Just look at this precious munchkin!

Liora

She didn’t love every minute of our session, but I love this shot. Is it wrong that I find something really sweet about a crying newborn?

Liora

Some sister snuggle time (on a baby blanket that’s been in the family for 30 years):

Eliana & Liora

Lots of love for Liora… (Note that Elie is reading her “big sister” book – so cute.)

Liora & family

Congratulations to Alyson, Matt, Elie (my name and birthday twin!), and family on sweet baby Liora Keren!
