If you follow my blog, you’ll recognize this guy (at 14, 11, and 4 months) – and his eyes. They’re ridiculous.

He’s expecting a little sibling any day now! Kari’s staying in great shaping keeping up with this one – always on the move. I think he climbed 300 stairs during our session. 🙂
“Out of my way, guys!”:

He did pause to watch the geese and check out some rocks with his dad:

Handsome, happy boy!

Excited to meet you when you emerge, little one!

Let’s hope Nolan can sit still for me to snap a few photos with the baby…
And happy anniversary to Kari & Kevin!

I knew another session with Lee would be a good time. 🙂 Mom Angelina prepares the cutest outfits, and more importantly, both Angie and Russ are such happy, loving parents. Lee is in her glory around these two and is a sweet, sweet little girl. As Angie said, I could photograph her in a parking lot, and we’d likely be okay. Look at this face!

Okay, the scenery at the Botanical Gardens doesn’t hurt… (nor do her soft curls, the amazing ensemble, and, again, that face!):

I don’t remember what her parents were doing that was so entertaining, but maybe I should hire them!

And the trio (and duo in a cute lovebird shot as Lee ran around giggling):

I’ve been photographing so many babies lately that I almost forgot how fun it can be to have older kids as subjects. Brother-sister photos are always a good time because of their dynamic – silly but loving (most of the time), and they try to make each other laugh. And even though 9-year-old boys aren’t usually too thrilled to have their photos taken, Hayden was a good sport – and little sister Olivia worked hard to get some smiles from him. 🙂

Hayden:

Olivia (I love her haircut, her smile, her cheekbones…):

The whole fam:

Oliver is the little brother of Sydney, a little one (who’s about to turn 2!) whom I’ve photographed since she was three months old. Now, at 8 weeks, Oliver had his first session, and although he and his sister don’t look too much alike, he is also super adorable and was a great model, cooperative, and relaxed even though we woke him up. 🙂
I love his tie onesie with the fun quilt his grandmother made for him! Not to mention his handsomeness.

Lots of babies need a little break here and there, and Oliver is such a cuddly boy:

And this last one reminds me a lot of one I took of Meg with Sydney at her first shoot – so cute:

Arianna is a snuggle bunny – I was psyched to photograph her again (and it meant I could sneak in some snuggles – always a bonus). It doesn’t hurt that she and her parents are super photogenic and make my job quite easy!
The sweet girl enjoying some long-awaited spring weather:

Hugs from her gorg mama:

How cute are these three? The way she’s smirking at her daddy in the first shot warms my heart.

I’m so sad I missed Saige when she was just out of the oven, but I have to say, 3 months suits her well! Parents Stef and Brett sure do make them cute! Check out big brother Eli from some of his past sessions. Saige was so laid back and happy – and adorable, just as expected.
I do these collages sometimes when I get a bunch of sweet expressions with the same setting/backdrop – I thought it worked well with some of Saige’s photos. She’s just so kissable!

And one more shot of her cozying up to her handsome brother:

We’re back in Florida after an awesome visit in Cleveland and a quick but also great trip to Boston (congratulations, Lu & Chase!!). I’m missing E a lot, so I thought I’d share some shots from the last couple weeks of this handsome boy…
I love this face:

I love having breakfast with this boy:

And a couple more… The first one makes me giggle – That’s his “Why-are-you-bothering-me while-I’m-peeling-this-branch?” face. And I love the second because that’s his life, walking with his mama to the market.

Wow is this little one amazing. I met Layla when she was just a few weeks old at a Carolyn’s Kids class, and already I knew she’d make quite the model.
Although I love shooting outside, there’s nothing wrong with an indoor session on a chilly, rainy spring day, especially when Layla is photo ready just laying on her changing table! No shortage of cuteness here…

And no shortage of love… 🙂

I’m loving photographing the tiny ones during this visit to Cleveland! Hannah was exactly 4 months old on the day of our shoot, and she was such a sweet, happy little girl. She was so fun to photograph – I love this age…

A more spring-y shot:

And we managed a couple outside in between bouts of rain:

Yet another fun Cleveland session with great clients!! 🙂
