I have just had the best summer...hanging out with my kids, relaxing, sleeping in and soaking in the sunshine.  It's hard to believe it's over, and my house is once again empty with the kids back at school.

I took the summer off from photography (well, professionally...I took a TON of pictures this summer!), so my blog has been sorely neglected.  Before my summer break, I had a very busy spring.  I expanded my horizons a bit by doing portraits for a local preschool.  Maybe I'm crazy spending two days photographing a ton of preschoolers, but I loved every minute of it!  In fact, I loved it so much, I begin teaching preschool this September!  

I had a few wonderful parents sign releases for me so I could showcase some of my work.  Better late than never, right?

Though I've had alert newborns before, this little man takes the cake.  You can't tell from the pictures I chose to post here, but this little guy was awake for most of his nearly 3 hour session.  I snapped most of these sleeping newborn shots in the last half hour.  Don't get me wrong, he was a little angel...just a wide awake little angel.  For his parents' sake, I hope he sleeps better at night.

Big brother really wanted me to take a picture of his baby brother in a tie.  Who am I to say no to such a cute face.  Fortunately, it looks like the little one liked the idea too.

I've had several people ask me lately if I was still taking pictures.  Yes, I am!  Unfortunately I've fallen way behind on blogging and keeping my Facebook page up to date.  I have a new proofing site for clients, so I haven't been posting images on social media.  Now that my kids are in school, I hope to get back to it.  First up, my latest little client.  What a sweet little boy!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Wow, two posts in one night.  That almost never happens.  A good friend of mine delivered an adorable baby boy just before Christmas.  He was a big surprise, arriving a month early.  It's hard to believe he's already three months old.  Isn't he just the sweetest thing!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

I first photographed this sweet little girl when she was only 3 months old.  Hard to believe she's almost 3 years old now!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Tonight's photo session involved a little road trip to Province Park in Franklin, Indiana.  If you live on the south side of Indy, it's worth checking out.  It's a very large and very pretty park.  I found out when I got there that this family chose that park because it's where they got married.  How sweet to have family portraits taken in the same spot where you were married!  Here's a quick sneak peek of Baby L.  Stay tuned for more photos of this cute little man and his mom and dad.

It's been a long day, so I won't say much.  Beautiful family.  Beautiful day.

One of the things I love about my job is meeting new people, especially people as wonderful as the clients I had this weekend.  I first met this family three months ago when I took baby pictures of then 3 month old "baby E".  I was touched to be asked to take his 6 month photos as well.  I'm so sad they're moving away next month.  :(  Enjoy your sneak peek.

Today I'm excited to show a sneak peek for two of my clients.  The first is a friend who asked if I could do a few portraits of her son in his moose hat.  The little guy was not real fond of the hat, but he looks cute as a button in it!

The second sneak peek was my first infant session with twins.  These two were super sweet and so well behaved!  I'm thinking if I had twins, I'd want two sweeties as even tempered as this pair!

It looks like March is the month for babies whose names begin with "E".  I spent Saturday afternoon with this handsome little 3 month old.  I'm such a sucker for brown eyes.  His just made me melt!  Enjoy your sneak peek.
