Happy Birthday little Sophia!! I met Sophia and Aiden when we did some family photos this spring/summer. It was hot, hot, hot out as we roamed Edwards Botanical Gardens in search of shade and captured some great memories. We decided to revisit the gardens to celebrate Sophia turning one in vintage/floral/teepee style. Big brother got in on the cake action for a minute or two as well. Sophia was completely into that cake!! And some peek-a-boo got her smiling big juicy sm

Last weekend, I met up with this growing family of three soon-to-be four! And met little two-year-old Benjamin who will be the big brother in the house. This family is going to have two little boys running around, full of spirit and energy and dirty paws. Oh, how they are going to have fun!!! Cannot wait to meet the little one in just a few weeks. We chased Benjamin around while he wanted to explore every inch of the gardens at rocket speed. Such is life with an active t

I met this beautiful couple in High Park in July this summer while Joanna was mid-pregnancy. It was the perfect evening for photos in the park and they were such an incredible couple. Yesterday, I finally met their little Nikoletta, born a few weeks ahead of schedule! That perfectly round face, and tiny little features--she is a looker just like her parents. She didn't give us much trouble at all and slept through most of the shoot with mama and papa hovering over their pr

You may recognize this little blonde beauty, Varia! The first time I met her for her 2 year old pictures, her mama was carrying a tiny, tiny baby in her belly, a secret she had not yet shared with anyone. Seven months later, I reunited with this family to take some maternity photos in the park and then a couple of months later, here is gorgeous, sweet, sleepy baby Aurora! Baby Aurora was perfect throughout the shoot, sleeping almost the entire time. We moved from room to r

The other day, I got to see this family once again in their home and park nearby and meet baby Hailey, the newest member of the family and baby sister to big brother Nathan. Nathan will have a big job for such a little guy, only 18 months old--best friend, protector, brother bear. He was so sweet kissing baby Hailey over and over. He ran around doing his own thing and came in to lay a kiss on his sister before venturing out again exploring the woods. This mama and papa ha

Kellon came to see me 10 months ago at 2 months old. This baby is a complete miracle! He was born very premature and against all odds. He was tiny then and he still is but he is a fighter! His parents were told that he might not ever walk and here he is at one year! He's sitting and standing with support, furniture cruising, razzing and saying mama and dada. His parents are ever so dedicated and proud of their little treasure! Kellon has never been the biggest smiler fo

One year ago, I photographed this sweet sweet baby girl. Cannot believe she is one already! I have loved watching these two little ones grow over the past year. Maya has become such a spunky little looker, full of life and mischief. She has the best coy little smile. She is always there to dote on little sister Nyla, or give her a big squeeze (maybe a little tightly). Nyla is more shy and hesitant. She loves to observe from the comfort of mama's arms. But her smiles
