J'S FIRST BIRTHDAY SESSION

This little boy "J" was absolutely precious.  He had the biggest dimples, and had the cutest little laugh when I tickled him.  I was honored to take his photograph's, he turned 1 today.  We set up a little cake, balloons, and had a stuffed birthday monkey.  As the first picture shows, he did NOT like to get his hands dirty with cake frosting.  Way cute!  Grandma was really cute, I just started smiling when I saw her pics with him.  Mom and Dad were great, and very patient.  Hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

M's Newborn Shoot

Remember Lisa's Photoshoot, well this is her baby girl.  This little love bug is so incredibly adorable.  Her mom was surprised that she was awake almost the entire time, like she knew she was coming to a photo shoot.  I have never seen a newborn so alert, and she was constantly moving.  I hope she slept well for you tonight, enjoy the pics!!!
