Another One Year Old! | Enfield, CT child photographer

I am on fire lately with the one year old crowd! These kiddos might look familiar since the photo I took after Mr G was born last year just won my annual contest. While Mr G was getting ready for his photo shoot Miss G was very happy to do her famous pose for me.

I admit I was a little nervous about another walking one year old. But Mr G sat right down and smiled and smiled and smiled for me! [I know some of you will ask me if this is a backdrop- but this is actually the wall in their living room. Keep this in mind when painting your home- thank you.]

No such thing as too much loving from his big sister.

I admit I love this picture- just a little down time.

Ending with a shot of my valentine- she didn't want me to leave. I admit I almost fell for the various treats she was offering me to get me to stay.

One Year Old Beauty | Wilbraham, MA child photographer

Miss A is about to turn one year old and mommy and I had big plans for this shoot- but alas Miss A had her own plans too. It took Miss A awhile to get comfortable with me. She had on this adorable outfit.

Mostly she wanted to make sure her mommy was within arms reach.
But slowly very slowly she gave up a few smiles for me.


Happy Birthday Miss A!

Newborn Newness | Wilbraham, MA newborn photographer

This is the first of my takers on the FREE newborn photo shoots offer. I have photographed Mr B before and I was very excited to meet his new little sister Miss P. We decided to warm up Mr B with a few of just him.

Then we tried to slip in his little sister and see if he noticed. He is such a great big brother and loves giving her lots of kisses.

We sent Mr B and Daddy off to run a few errands and got to business putting Miss P to sleep.

She finally had to give in- I am pretty boring.

Before they left we put Miss P into an outfit that her Mommy wore when she was this little. Grandma saved it all these years for Miss P.

Thanks for coming over and being such great sports.

And the winners are....

Can you believe I almost forgot to post this?? I don't think this is a surprise since I am pretty sure all their mommies (and many others) have been stalking the blog quite regularly the past week. But let's make it official!

In first place with 283 votes, winning a $50 print credit for an upcoming session AND this picture will soon appear in my blog header....

In second place, with 267 votes and a $25 print credit (since these two are cousins their moms will have to duke it over that credit- I have faith they can work it out)....

Winners don't forget to schedule your sessions to claim your prizes. Actually I have faith in this bunch- can you believe NONE of last year's winners have claimed their prizes yet? But no worries they won't expire.

Best of 2009!

It's that time again- and I am a little late this year! Here is my Best image of 2009 contest! Goodness it is so hard to narrow it down, I swore I wouldn't post as many as last year but I couldn't help myself. As many of my blog readers know there so many more I could have included (and yes I expect to hear from a few of you that were left out- sorry!)

What do you win? First Place wins a $50 print credit to an upcoming session, Second Place wins a $25 print credit and Third Place wins a $15 print credit. In addition to the print credits First Place also wins one more thing- the winning image will be put into my blog header which I will update after the contest.

Put the word out and make sure everyone gets voting. Voting will end next Thursday February 4th and the winner will be announced on Friday the 5th. Without further ado here are the entrants....














On another note... I am offering newborn sessions for FREE right now. Sessions need to take place within the first 2 weeks of life and will last about 2 hours. Contact me if you (or anyone you know) are interested. Now VOTE!

One Year Old cuteness! | Wilbraham, MA child photographer

Meet Mr. T, he turned one year old today, and he came to see me. His Mama grew up down the street from where I used to live and we have been looking for a good reason to get together. Mr T is so sweet and smiley- well, see for yourself...

The whole beautiful family...

We tried to go outside for a little bit, but it was cold and sunny not a great combo- but he did love being thrown in the air!
Since today was his birthday we decided to celebrate- you will have to use your imagination to guess what the "after" shots looked like.

After he got all cleaned up, he decided to head home.

Love it! Great finally meeting you Mr T!

Miss R | Wilbraham, MA child photographer

Two years ago I got to photograph Miss R when she turned 1 and she was so stinking cute I completely remember the session- in fact her sweetness graced the top of my blog for most of 2008 I believe. Remember?
I went back today and was hoping that at age 3 she was still as adorable, and guess what? She is! So we sat down in the same chair in the same place and I started snapping.

BUT now that she is 3 she had her own ideas about the pictures I should be taking so we followed her lead.
We went up to her room...
and this picture might just be one of my all time favorites- I LOVE this one!!!
There are MANY more but Mom needs to have some surprises right?
