An Adorable Baby Boy

Oh Boy! One of our favorite couples (we photographed their wedding), Durin and Angela have a new baby boy. He is sooo cute and such a good baby! The session was filled with wardrobe changes, diaper changes, and studio changes and little Aden was not fazed! He just smiled and blew little bubbles that were so cute! Angela and Durin are wonderful parents. You can just tell by how relaxed they are and how they take turns holding and bouncing baby Aden when he needs to be bounced. Angela and Durin just seem to "have it all together" and you know they will be an ideal family throughout the years to come. Aden is 12 weeks old at this session. Good luck picking your pictures, mom and dad, because there are so many great ones!

Oh look! Is this a doll or a real baby?!


It's Aden! and his loving parents, Angela and Durin.


There are those precious little bubbles!

My How Time Flies!

I know that is not original, but here is an example of time flying: It seems like only a year ago we photographed Larissa in the different stages of her pregnancy. (it was 3 years ago, to be exact). We had so much fun doing that and we got to really love Larissa and her husband, Jarron. Then when Ellie was born, we felt like "godparents", since we had been watching her "grow" for several months. Now we have Ellie, almost 3, and her new baby brother, still in the womb, for a photo session! We can't believe how Ellie is now a little girl, not a wee baby any more! She is very excited about having a new baby brother. She loves to "hold" the baby and kiss mommy's tummy.
What a privilege to be a part of this miracle.

Lucy the Goat goes to the Fair

Here is Lucy, a hand-raised little goat. She is a 4-H project of our friend, Olivia's.
Lucy's life was saved by a lot of tender loving care. She suffered from Acidosis, a fairly common affliction in goats. She is smaller than the other kids (baby goats) and cannot see very well, but she is very beautiful. I'll tell you more about her later. If you click on the link above, you can see more pictures from the Dixon Fair 4-H show on our Flickr page.

Mia Ballerina

I now think my favorite age to photograph is 3 years old! Mia was so much fun- so lively and happy and ready to pose in her new blue tutu. She had so many expressions to offer us, we just kept shooting away and captured them all. Her poor mom is going to have a time picking out her favorites. Here are a couple of my favorites.

Her mom had warned us she was a lively one, so I was braced for a challenge....

Uh oh...looks like trouble....



Who, me??? As you can see, Mia turned out to be the perfect model!
