These have got to be the most bluest eyes I’ve ever seen – I think even bluer than one of my favorite actors – Mr. Paul Newman!  This adorable little guy is signed up for my First Year Baby Steps Plan and this is his 3 month session. I had bunches of fun hangin out with him and his beautiful Mama at my residential studio. You may remember this guys big brother from his family session here.

This morning I met with Amadine and Jason with their  one year old little guy, Aidan at the Kanapaha Botanical Gardens. We met up at 9 am thinking that it would not have gotten a chance to heat up. Boy were we wrong! By the time I got from my car to the entrance to the gardens I was soaked!! We all get a bit of a soaking but we had a great time. We ended up taking Aidan’s clothes off and sitting him in a fountain to cool off. That was a great idea..because those are some of the cutest pictures of the bunch. A special thank you to my assistant/daugher Rowan for always making those babies smile! She is some kind of wonderful. By the way if you are interested in a babysitter this summer, Rowan just received her Red Cross Babysitting Certification and Infant/Child CPR Certification. Give me a buzz or email if you are interested!

Here is one of the very first pictures from our family session.

…and here is the very last photo from the session!

I’m so excited to finally share the news that I photographed the cover of the May/June edition of Giggle Magazine. I’m just so honored and happy beyond belief. When I went professional two years ago, I never would have thought that I would have achieved so much in such a little time – and having photographed not one but THREE covers for my favorite family magazine makes it all worth it! Thank you to the staff of Giggle Magazine for believing in me.

Meet Ms. Ella – the newborn on the cover. I actually photographed Ella last summer at her home. I just love her so much – not only because she’s just simply adorable – but reminds me so much of my own daughter Rowan. Both Rowan and Ella were almost 10 pound newborns – and they kinda look simlar. Ella has those gorgeous lashes and that grin that just goes ear to ear.

Here are a few photos from the rest of her newborn session.

Ella came and modeled a few of my new tutu’s for me when she was about 8 months old. She still looks the same – those adorable eyes!

Sadly, Ella and her family recently moved back to Chicago where they are from. I am going to miss her very much but her mother has promised to keep me updated and she knows that whenever she comes back to Gainesville for a visit – that there will always be time to update her photo book! But, right before she moved we took her 1 year portraits. Yup, that’s the infamous “Smash the Cake” session – I’ve been waiting for a month to share theses images from that session. Her mom hasn’t even seen them yet.

Tomorrow I will be spotlighting the other families featured in the magazine that I photographed along with the details to my very first super cool Scavenger Hunt based on the information in the current issue of Giggle Magazine. The winner will receive a FREE newborn session (a $200 value) plus some more goodies!

You can pick up Giggle Magazine for free at most Publix Supermarkets and at my home studio in Haile Plantation. You can also view the entire issue online here. I highly recommend that you join their Facebook Fanpage over here too.

Just a quickie from my session on Monday of 8 week old Baby “K”. More of this beauty to come!

Here are a few more pictures taken from the special “Be Mine” Valentine’s Day Set that will be happening this Sunday, January 31st. Ella and Ruby came over to help me get the lighting set up and to try on some new pink tutu’s that I had custom made just for this event. If your baby girl is between 6 month and 2 years – I have some adorable tutu’s and angel wings for her to wear!
