A few days ago, I photographed Alexander and his parents, Brad and Christina. I’ve had a bunch of 6-month-olds as models here in Cleveland (like Brennan), and it’s really fun to see how different yet similar they all are. Alexander has two super cute teeth and melts my heart with his little voice because it sounds just like E’s.

And Brad and Christina gave me Peruvian shortbread dulce de leche cookies – pretty much the best cookies ever. YUM.

Here’s a little preview of his photo shoot. Christina loves black and whites (and so do I), so that’s what I focused on for their session.

E is 6 months old today at 5:18pm… I took this photo when he was exactly one week old.

E - 1 Week

Wowzer. They sure don’t spend much time being this tiny. Now here he is on his first half-birthday:

E 6 Months

I miss when he was just a little peanut… But he is so cute these days, I can barely stand it.

Some of the things he likes to do at 6 months:

  • Laughing – at “sneezing” (we’ve started to fake sneeze now that we’ve discovered he finds it hilarious), at belly tickles, at our faces in the mirror, and at one of his toys that makes really silly noises (check it out: this thing is amazing)
  • Sitting up like a champ
  • Showing zero interest in crawling
  • Grabbing things, especially non-baby-friendly objects like cell phones and tissue boxes
  • Not being in his car seat
  • Singing – “Eensy, Weensy Spider” and “Pants on the Ground” are fun; J and I instituted the latter into his repertoire
  • Reading – He even flips pages, albeit accidentally (or shuts the book when he decides we’re done)
  • Not being in the snow

Happy 6-month birthday to little E. So happy I get to squish him and kiss him.

Due to the snowy weather the last couple of days, we’ve been hanging and playing at home, just enjoying E and his amazingness. Of course, I had to capture some of his cuteness on camera…

In the left, smiling at his mama; in the right, eyeing his Uncle J:

E has a little cold… and he LOVES tissues:

And one of his new favorite toys is a yogurt container (thanks to his Safta’s idea via Skype):

The little man will be 6 months tomorrow! Crazy…

For my first shoot of this trip to Cleveland, I photographed 7-month-old Brennan on Superbowl Sunday’s gorgeously sunny snowy morning. Here are three preview shots.

A family photo to start it off (Isn’t his outfit amazingly adorable?):

More to come from Brennan’s session later on. A great kickoff (no Superbowl pun intended) to a two-week working visit to Cleveland.

I’ve been envisioning a photo shoot with E in the snow since we planned this February Cleveland trip…

Apparently, E is not a big fan of frigid temps (who is?!) or being photographed in said frigid temps. We tried to take him out for a few snow photos Saturday, but he shrieked the second we stepped out into the ice-cold breeze. Not one frame was snapped. We tried again, and this time, I managed to get a few – albeit of a pretty unhappy model. In most, he looks downright sad, but in a few, he just looks like he has the serious model face down pat.

After about five minutes, we scooped him up in a blanket and hurried inside to the coziness. He was much happier then. 🙂

Here are some:

Seriously – how cute is this little man?!

We are headed to Cleveland today. Off to spend two weeks with this little one…

Super E

…Yep, he’s super, all right. (Wasn’t his handmade Halloween costume sweet?! My sister is ridiculous.)

I’ll be posting from the wintry weather, cozied up with the little man.

During our last trip to Cleveland, I photographed 4-month-old Ella at her home. While she was less than thrilled about our photo shoot (and would’ve much preferred naptime to me snapping shots of her with just a diaper sitting in her Bumbo chair), I don’t think her dissatisfaction came through in the final images. She was a sweet little one (with incredible cheeks) and felt much better with some snuggles from her mom throughout the session.

Here are a few that I like best from Ella’s shoot:

I love the look of deep thought in this one:

I’m a big fan of monogrammed bloomers, and Ella’s were super cute. Here she is having some tummy time on her big-girl bed that awaits her:

We snapped a few shots in her Christmas outfit outside before she was really over the session. I believe a neighbor yelled over the fence, “Is that a baby in a bucket?!” Yes, sir, it is. And she looks mighty cute in it.

Ella

One final shot of her amazing eyes and cozy winter hat. I love how she’s looking adoringly at her mom. 🙂

Just wishing my little E a happy 5-month birthday (yes, I’m obsessed – he’s obsessable! and yes, I make up words for him, like “amageous” – amazing and gorgeous). So excited to celebrate his 6-month with him! Sending snuggles from FL to Cleveland (way too far).

As much as I hate to accept it, Ethan’s trip (oh, and my sister and brother-in-law’s – they understand, though, that it’s all about E) to Sarasota is almost over. They are heading back to snowy Cleveland today, so I’m taking a little time right now to post a selection of photos I’ve taken of E during these last couple of weeks.

Here are some of the images from his holiday session that were not chosen for his New Year’s card:

E New Year's Card Photo Shoot

And from E’s first visit to the beach, which was incredibly short lived due to his sleepiness. At least we captured it in the 10 minutes we were there. He was mesmerized by the sand/shells – probably a very interesting feeling on his feet!

E at the Beach

And the scene from his poolside shoot…

E's Poolside Photo Shoot

A few images from the session:

Some family shots can be found here.

Thanks for a great trip, little man! Can’t wait to smooch you in Cleveland in February (yes, I said “can’t wait” and “Cleveland in February” in one sentence – only E can inspire that statement out of me). One month and counting. I miss him already, and he’s right here next to me playing away on his new exersaucer:
