Puppy Love

Courtney, Kristine, Bullet & Buffy
10.16.11

Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE dogs.  After all, God gave man a best friend and named him in his honor; D-O-G (spells God backwards).  So it's no surprise that I did a photo shoot that involved pups.  Courtney and Kristine are a young family recently married who adore not just each other but their dogs as well.  These are just a few shots from that day...it's all about puppy love!

 My favorite shot...candid and perfect!

Another candid shot.  They were trying to get the dogs to pose, but this turned out pretty cute. 

 Beautiful Kristine

 Just the boys.


 What a gorgeous couple!

 Bullet is the apple of his mom's eye.



 Family stroll.

Happy All by His Lonesome

Baby Alex
November 2011

Baby Alex (as we like to call him--and who by the way is no longer a baby) had to be one of the happiest babies I have ever done a photo shoot with!  His mommy and I just plopped him down on a blanket and he was just loving life, talking and watching the world go by.  The light was AMAZING this particular day and lil Alex was lovin' life!  His smile is ridiculous!

Laughing and laughing and luaghing...

Talking to absolutely no one. :)


A pensive momement.

That smile gets me every time!

Love the lil teeth

Sometimes the best ones are by accident...

Candid Shots

One of my favorite things to do is to take my "mom" camera and take pics when we are just hanging out with friends.  These are just a few of my recent favorites.  BTW, by the looks of it, it seems like all my friends had boys lately!







Time to Run!!!

Moscoso Family
August 2011

In August I had the pleasure of working with the Moscoso family for the second time.  It's so fun to get to watch a client's lil one grow!  I remember when this lil guy was just born and on this particular day he was showing off his big boy skills and running all over the place.  Kids are so funny, the littlest things excite them.  A bird, a leaf blowing in the wind, a big open field to run in and ducks...the ducks were the bees knees for lil Ceasar!


Just checking things out.


 
One of my favorites...so sweet and tender.

 
Wheeeeee!!!
 

 

Mommy is so silly!
 
Big and strong just like daddy!








West is the Best!

The West Family
July 2011

I had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot with one of my favorite families of all time...the West family.  Barry and Kristina have three little ladies and one little dude.  Let's just say the dude was not interested in a photo shoot that particular day.  But what I discovered is that the little dude's bad day turned into some great candid photos...sometimes the best pictures are the ones where everyone is just being themselves.  So moms...don't pressure yourselves trying to achieve the "perfect" pose because a year from now one of your funniest memories will be the day your lil ones weren't being picture perfect and maybe just being themselves.  That's what life is all about isn't it?  Cheese! 

One of the only ones we got where the lil dude was looking at the camera.

This one is just awesome to me!

I gotta say, these girls are some of my favorites!


Daddy's girls.

You just gotta have a sense of humor with kiddos around.  :)
