Little Adam | Christmas Shoot

This little boy will melt your heart the minute you meet him with his BIG baby blues, chubby cheeks, and LONG eyelashes!!!! Boy is he going to be a heart breaker!!!!

His mama wanted to get picture done of his first Christmas. It was truly a pleasure getting to meet Allison, her husband, and her sweet boy!

Family Shoot | The "J" Family

How do I even begin to describe this family???? Words just aren't enough! Thank god for our husband's knowing each other and FINALLY introducing us! Nikki has become MY PERSON... if your wondering what I mean... think Grey's Anatomy... you know Mere and Christina... and how they call each other "my person".... well Nikki is MY PERSON! I love her and her babies EVEN more (sorry Nikki but you know it's all about the babies)!!!!! <3 Don't worry I'm not leaving her hot sexy husband out of the equation... she knows I cant resist his goatee.... ;-)

This session was SO MUCH fun. I could have taken pictures of them ALL day long! What a beautiful family they are! <3 <3

Family Shoot | The "C" Family

This family is very dear to my heart! I met this FABULOUS Mama through a Mommy board that we both were in. At that time we were both pregnant with our 1st babies and now we both have 2 babies and they both are SOOOOOOO CLOSE in age! Its funny how that happened but I promise we didn't call each other and plan it... ;-)

Stephanie is super sweet, has a heart of gold, and has become such a great friend to me. Her hubby is more then amazing and her babies... I cant even find the words for their sweetness!

Christmas Shoot | Baby Victoria

Awww... this baby girl... makes my ovaries itch!!! (actually all babies do that to me but that's a whole another subject ;) ) She is just ADORABLE and PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!

Her Mommy had a beautiful Christmas dress all ready for her to wear but Baby Victoria had her own plans... she did not like the dress one bit! (Mommy Julie will learn that she is the BOSS... as much as we try to deny it... it's the truth... they are the boss of us!)

Julie put her in her Christmas pj's and Victoria was the happiest baby girl! She slept like an angel even with all the moving around we did!

Seriously... how can you look at these pictures and NOT say.... "Awwww... how sweet!"

Personal | Pumpkin Patch

Friday we took the kids to the pumpkin patch and we had TONS of fun! I must say I did leave there with a headache since my son was all about running, playing, decorating the pumpkins, throwing hay, and telling me "No"... I guess I really cant blame him considering what he had in front of him.

Sophia on the other hand was all about giving me smiles, posing, and looking at the pumpkins.

We decided to go to the same location we went to last year and it didn't disappoint. It was a tad smaller this year but still a great pumpkin patch!

My babies

Here are a few more from Sophia's 9mth shoot. I cant believe how big my babies are getting. Sophia took her 1st steps yesterday!!!! When did I get such a big girl!!!!

Dont forget to book your fall session by November 15th so you wotn miss out on the sale!!!!

Sophia turns 9mths

On Wednesday my daughter Sophia turned 9mths old. The time is going by so fast and I cant seem to catch my breath. She is the joy of my life. My goodness... the love I have for her is so overwhelming that it actually leaves me breathless sometimes.

She's into everything these days especially following her brother! Where ever he is... you are sure to find Sophia. LOL!!! She can walk perfect with her walker (the ones you hold onto), she's all about eating big people food, she knows how to wave bye-bye, she can clap, and yesterday she started to say her first word... MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's been babbling on and off for a while now and has said Mama and Papa a couple of times but I didn't want to "count it" just yet until she was saying it more frequent... and yesterday she was saying it ALL day long. Guess what I heard in the monitor this morning when she woke up.... :) Mama!!! I don't think I ever ran in there so quick... I'm sooo proud!!!!

I have already started planning her birthday party... can you believe I only have 3mths before she turns ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

My sweet girl... words cant express how much I LOVE you!!!! Happy 9mths Sophia!

Day 8

Here is the picture of the day... with an extra one! ;) I couldn't help myself. She's the BEST prop I have! :)

Eyes

Have I told you all that I LOVE reading through blogs... doesn't have to be a photography blog... just blogs in general. I love how "real" they are and how all emotion comes from the heart of the blogger. Since I've venture into the world of photography blogs I've found a handful that I read EVERYDAY! I love them!!!

One of my FAVORITES has to be Willette (please check out her blog... like I said... it's pretty AWESOME!!!). This week she decided to "challenge" us by picking a topic and see what we can come up with. This weeks topic was "EYES". I'm soooo looking forward to the following challenges. :)

Here are my submissions... my two beautiful babies:

Sophia Arelis 7mths old and Carlos Manuel 21mths old

Sophia's Baptism

This past Saturday, my daughter got baptized and it couldn't have gone better. I will always cherish these special moments I have recorded in my mind. The day was beautiful... my daughter was BEYOND beautiful... we had family and friends there to support us... what else is needed!

To Sophia's Godparents... We couldn't have picked anybody better. Thank you for making my daughter's day even more special.

Thank you to everyone for the special wishes and for joining us even if it was only in mind and spirit.

God Bless you my SWEET SWEET BABY GIRL!!!

BC didn't want anything to do with taking pictures for me that day. :-( He was all about running around and playing but I still caught this image and thought it was FABULOUS!

Sophia's 6mth Pictures

My princess is growing up at a pace that seriously should be illegal!!!!! Can you believe that she's 6mths already?! I really need to find or invent a "pause" button!!!!

She is sooo much fun now too. She smiles and giggles a ton! It's the cutest thing. She finds her brother highly amusing and her Daddy makes her smile just by walking in the room.

I took her to the Pedi's office today for her check up and she's weighing in at 18.5lbs and is 26inches long!!!!! Healthy as can be! She's wearing 9 to 12mth clothing and a is a size 3 in shoes.

She's eating homemade baby food, drinking juice, rocking back and forth on all fours, sitting up unassisted, can hold her sippy and actually pulls it up to drink from it, plays with toys and can switch them from hand to hand, rolling everywhere, and at the sound of Mommy's voice she stops... smiles... looks for me.... and right when she sees me... she gives me the BIGGEST gummy smile EVER!!!! She totally ROCKS my world!

I took her 6mth pictures last week... here they are! I hope you enjoy them!
