Last weekend I met this fun family of three over at Creekside Gahanna.  I just love the early morning light there… it makes for such beautiful creamy photos!  Anyway, Miss K has been a blast to watch grow.  She is the happiest baby, and I really feel like this session showcased that so well.  Yep, just might be my favorite spring session yet!

See for yourself:

I just love that blue tile fountain at Creekside.  Here, there’s no water flowing, but still — such gorgeous color & texture!

See what I mean? She’s so happy in those photos above!

These next ones of Miss K in the chair might be my favorite.  She’s smiling so big on the left that you can’t even see her eyes:

Then, she was done sitting down by herself… she was starting to get sleepy & just wanted to be held.  We got her to stand once, and then holding-only was the solution. 

I love this next one of the three of them.  They are such a beautiful family!

So so so much fun, Mom & Dad.  Thanks for this awesome pick… so glad we waited that extra week for the warm happy-baby weather.  Can’t wait to get the rest of these back to you!

This lovely little lady was all of 5 days old at her session.  We wanted to get it in early while Dad was still off work, and I’m so so glad we did.  Babies sleep so well at this age!  Sweet baby E is so precious to Mom & Dad, and it really shows.  She is going to be one lucky (and spoiled) kid!

And we got one early smile:

Isn’t she the cutest little sleeper??

Above, baby E’s room is decorated in Winnie the Pooh and she has all of the necessary stuffed animals.  Soon thereafter, Miss E woke up for us, and even decided to be pretty calm about it… what gorgeous eyes, no?

And here, a family shot, with Miss K-bug included: 

So precious.  Thanks again for having me last week, K&A.  I am so happy for you guys and can’t wait to watch Miss E grow!!

Last week I headed across town to meet this gorgeous couple for a maternity session.  Mom is about ready to pop — she’s a little over 37 weeks here, if I remember — and I thought it might end up being a repeat of the time I (maybe) sent a friend into labor a few hours after asking her to move all over for her maternity session, a little too close to her due date.  Anyway, I haven’t heard from these two to tell me that baby K has arrived, so hopefully everything is still going smoothly for mom-to-be.  I can’t wait to meet the little guy in a few weeks!

Here you go, K&K — a small sample from our session, with many more on the way… you made it so hard to choose which to post!

These two are pretty smart cookies — it’s no surprise that books are one of the few things they’re starting to collect already:

I was editing this next photo when my brother & future sister-in-law were around, and Emily said, “Oh, are those senior pictures?”  For being 37+ weeks along, sometimes you can barely tell she’s pregnant!  Gorgeous, no?

I asked K about cravings during pregnancy that we could photograph, and her first answers were spicy food & Waffle House.  However, thinking twice about it, she did say that this lemonade is something she’s lived on the entire time… tasty!

So much fun, you two.  Hope you enjoy these! Thanks again for thinking of me to take these for you!

Last week I went to visit our breeder Lou Ann out at Pleasant Valley Doodles in Plain City, and she has a new litter of 11 chocolate labradoodles!  Our Coco (who stays with us but is bred by Lou Ann) has a sister named Lauren who is the proud Mama of these eleven, and here, at two weeks old, they are adorable.  They look just like Coco’s litter did last year!

Anyway, while visiting, there was the most beautiful sunset — and I was totally intrigued by the field of dandelions adjacent to where the dogs are fenced in.  So beautiful!  Anyway, a few photos from the evening there:

Last weekend I met this good-looking family of four on campus after big brother R’s soccer practice.  He spent a few hours running around kicking a soccer ball and still had this. much. energy.  What a ball of fun!  He & his parents welcomed baby D into the family a few weeks ago, and in between feedings and cuddle times, we managed to get a variety of photos that *hopefully* capture the energy of this group.  Thanks for meeting me on campus, N&A!  I hope you enjoy some of these as much as I do:

After a few family photos, baby boy D didn’t think much of our photo session… Mom fed him while I got to take a few of big brother R & Dad:

I love love love these photos of Mr. R & Dad having so much fun!

After spending an hour or so near Mirror Lake, the lovely (battling) duckies chased us away… Mr. R was not so much a fan once they started making lots of noise and chasing each other around almost visciously…

Big brother R was so excited when I asked him to stand behind Mom & Dad & give hugs… it helps when you tell him he’ll be the “tallest” one or “biggest” in the photo, but here, he wasn’t even that (although, just maybe, the sweetest):

And then, we managed to get baby D to sleep all on his own for a couple:

Isn’t this family adorable?  I told you so. 

More blog entries coming this weekend, I hope! xoxo Amy
