This little man was smiling before I even started snapping away. I think he knew it was picture day and posed away. Big smiles for his mom. Happy Birthday little guy. I've enjoyed watching you grow this year!
I so much enjoyed taking Mr. J's pictures throughout his first year. I'm always a little sad when one of the "baby's first year" baby's leaves after they turn one because they won't be back in three months like they were all year long. Loved watching him neatly piece apart the icing on his cake. Not too messy at all.....
He was so cute, he does this little scoot on his bottom while he is still sitting. So his mom would sit him in his spot for pictures and he would smile at us and just start moving forward as fast as he could. I've never had a baby scoot so fast without using their hands. So funny. His big sister is ready for spring with her rain coat and boats. How cute are her kisses to her baby brother!?
I could not wait to take my sister's maternity photos! Isn't she so pretty?! (don't worry Avery, I didn't forget about you, your pretty too) Lindsay and Avery are going to be wonderful parents. Now that we have taken these, I'm so excited to take my new nieces pictures as soon as she decides to make her grand entrance in a few weeks.
I got to do something a little different with this photo shoot. I got a call from graphic designer, Jen Chapman, that she had a client who needed photos of a luxury quilt for some ads they are doing. So my wonderful friend, with a beautiful house, let us borrow her home for a couple hours to take photos of the quilt. The finished ad is my photo with the design by Jen Chapman.
Our friends, the Park family, live in Mississippi. We get together about 3 to 4 times a year, which we think is pretty good giving that we live 10 hours away. In January we met in Nashville, TN. Katherine is going to be having her third little girl (to match up with my three little boys) in March. While in Nashville we quickly snapped a couple pictures of the girls and family. Can't wait to meet their new little girl very soon!!
I had such a fun year with my business! I thought it would be nice to make a collage with one photo from each session throughout the year. I had 191 sessions, 7 weddings and 1 preschool in 2011. Thanks for all who had me photograph your family/child/baby/loved one. I enjoyed every minute. Looking forward to a wonderful 2012!
