10 months old

What! 10 months old! Really? Already? That means that 2 months from now she will turn 1! Noooooo! This year has gone so fast, but it has by far been the best year of my life.

The hats that Harper is wearing are from www.debiscreations18.etsy.com. Debi has GREAT hats and other neat 'goodies' that can be custom made. These hats are SO soft. Harper loved them! And besides the obvious use of keeping your baby's head warm, they make for amazing photo props (as you can see). Check Debi's page out!!!!

Stunning Family

I mean really.... does a family get any more perfect than this? Beautiful, fun, happy and easy going. What more could I ask for? This session was also Baby G's 6 month portrait session as well. He sat up all by himself! You could tell that he was so proud of himself. He is freakin adorable. Here is a small glimps into the 409 shots that I got. Yeah I went a little snap happy, but I just couldn't resist.

How cool is this.... !?!

LETTERS

How stinkin' cool are these! We can create custom wall letters for anywhere in your house with photos from your shoot. Think about this.... it doesn't have to be your kid's name. What about FAMILY, LOVE, HAPPINESS, ALWAYS, or your last name! I LOVE IT!

DISPLAYS

When I say that the possibilities are endless... I mean endless. I took 5 of my favorite protraits from Harper's last shoot and created this wall display! I have been starring at them all day! Even Harper sat back at checked them out. These are simply 10 x 10 prints. LOVE THEM!!

Products... Products... Products....

GALLERY MOUNTS
Oh my gosh! I couldn't open my gallery mounts fast enough! I am not the best product photographer, but holy cow.... they are incredible in person!!! Gallery mounts can be printed in numerous sizes and colors. I have this one hanging over my daughter's crib. I am ordering two more to match one of my Inspire Guides (see the Inspire Guides post). The possibilities are endless on these!

STORYBOARDS

The 10 x 20 storyboards are the perfect way to showcase your favorite pictures from your shoot. I am SO excited to get mine in. The qulaity is AMAZING. They can be printed on stryene board or the beautiful gallery mounts. Both make a great statement!

picture perfect

This girl is picture perfect! She rocked this photo shoot!!! Here are only a few amazing shots we got. Love them!!!!!

top 10 shots you MUST get...

After I took this picture of my daughter, it inspired me to write a list of my top 10 photographs I MUST capture of her in the next few years.....

10. throwing a temper tantrum
9. playing with her first real friend
8. the last time she sleeps in her crib
7. playing in her mommy's high heals
6. walking around in her daddy's boots (I love kids' feet)
5. playing with the wrapping paper from her Christmas presents this year
4. her facial reaction when she takes her first steps
3. being tossed in the air by her daddy
2. the first time she goes in the big girl potty (blackmail for later)
1. the first time she colors on the wall, breaks something big, and cuts something up that she wasn't supposed to beacuse I know it will all happen one day.

These are all of the little memories that will one day seem SO BIG. I went to visit one of my best friends and her daughter this weekend. I attempted to take pictures of her putting her daughter in time out. We kept talking about how we will one day forget the temper tantrum phase. It is so important to remember all of these moments. Take a step back and capture them.

Slow down... you're already 9 months old

My baby girl is growing WAY to fast! I took her 9 month portraits today. She giggled and laughed and drooled the whole time. I sure hope she never suffers from PCS (photographer's child syndrome).
