Playing in the garden

Caught in a moment of Surprise!

Paxton hears a dog-dog
Paxton is obsessed with dogs. If she hears a dog, she screams "dog dog!" If she sees a picture of a dog she screams "dog dog"! As we were sitting in the hallway a dog barked outside and Paxton immediately got excited, but first she gasped (click) and then started the excited squeals of dog dog. I love these moments. When I catch them and get to reflect on those moments it makes me smile. I love catching those little moments and freezing them. Being able to look back and say "I remember that stage!" It's priceless!

Beautiful Babe

I love how accessories can really make a picture pop. Of course babies are just naturally beautiful, but sometimes you can add a little something with a fun hat, or bow. I have been photographing Ellie since she was 3 months old. I love looking back and seeing how she has grown. Ellie's mom has me do pictures about every three months. Such a wonderful way to document your child's first year, and beyond.

The pitter patter squeak...

Today as I was playing around with my camera I decided to try out a picture of Paxton. This is my usual thought, but as her hair is in her eyes and she was doing her "cheese" face I pushed the shutter and well let's just say we went with the shoe shot. There are so many times that I take pictures of the girls and they are wearing such cute shoes. After taking this shot it reminded me that sometimes a picture of a favorite pair of shoes can be just as beautiful as a smiling face.
