Simple can be better

It took a little bit for this little girl to share her smiles, but once her tummy was full, she had a comfortable onsie and mom and dad to cuddle with, she was as happy as can be. It's a good example that sometimes the simpliest idea such as lying in bed can make for the best images. It's always great to go out and do sessions at various locations, but don't forget that bedrooms often have great lighting and can provide familiarity and comfort to little ones. Here's some photos from the session:

9 months in the park

A nice fall day for a trip to the park and to show off some newly learned skills. It's so fun to watch as skills are learned and improved upon. He was at his happiest when he was standing, walking with assistance or crawling toward my camera. No more stationary life for this family! Here are some favorites:

Turtle Love

The weather was a huge disappointment for this session! Beautiful all week and then the morning arrives and it's raining and cold! So with clouds looming overhead, we carried on and managed to cover all the major holidays while were were at it. Their little guy was a trooper and although he was too cold to put out his biggest smiles, he did put out some and I quickly captured them!

Che bello bambino!

I immediately enjoyed being around this couple. We share a similar love of Italian culture and Italian names. I hope I was able to convey to them there was no rush to the session and it's always expected that there will be stops for feedings, diaper changes, and to clean up pee (hope it came off the rug!) Their little guy had beautiful dark features and was awake for most of the session so we were able to get some shots of his eyes.

Downtown Fun

The weather was great for a visit to downtown's City Garden. If only we were allowed to go anywhere near the sculptures! We unfortunately picked the day they were cleaning each piece and everything was blocked off with red tape. It's a good thing the main subject was an adorable newly walking 1 year! One day this little guy is going to have girls writing poems about this eyes. Here are some favorites:
