Mario time...and other adorable-ness

I photographed this family a while back and her boys were tired, and really was not interested in having me in their face.  So I rescheduled a session with them and couldn't be happier with how well the boys behaved!!  Even Mario was happy to participate in having his photo taken!!  Here are some pictures from all their sessions combined :) 

I am so happy when I get the opportunity to photograph them!!  They really make me smile!!!



Candy anyone?

My neighbor just had her 3rd beautiful baby boy and I had the opportunity to photograph his cute-ness!!!  I just ordered the most perfect candy corn hat off eBay and couldn't wait to use it.  He was the perfect little baby for the hat!!  I love having their family as my neighbors...they are awesome!!!

I'm in love with crochet props!!! 

Army Family

My gorgeous cousin is married to an army man!  With that comes the life of an Army Wife and basically a single mother.  She has two stunningly beautiful children!  They are so sweet and I love them so much!!  My cousin's little girl is a total ham and has a fireball personality.  She didn't want to sit still for 5 seconds and honestly what 2 1/2 year old does when there's things to be exploring!  Her son however didn't have a choice he's only 6 months old and soooo chubby!!  If there's one thing I love about babies...its the chubs, the rolls, the puffy cheeks :)  He was pretty well behaved despite the freezing cold weather we had that day!!  Here are some shots from that day!!

Love them <3 <3 <3

Birthday Boy

You never realize how small our world can be until someone you've taken pictures for lives about 2 minutes away, has quite a few mutual friends, and never even knew each other!! 

I am so lucky to have met this family!!  I am thrilled that she has asked me to do her engagement photos as well as be her wedding photographer in 2012!!  I have only done one small wedding and so I hope I will be prepared enough to capture her amazing day!!  She also asked me to photograph her little boy's 1st birthday portraits!! 

He was a total "Mr. Serious"  He seemed to like me, just not enough to smile for me!!  He has THE MOST AMAZING blue eyes!!  He is definitely going to be his Mommy's little heart breaker!!!  Here are some shots from his session!!!



I cant wait to photograph this family more!!!  The one's I have met so far are just lovely!

Slacking...Time for an update!!

Birthdays, sessions, family gatherings, school, being the Shaffer, wife, mommy, and maid=BUSY!!!  I have been totally in love with the season's changing and staying busy that I have let my blogging slack a bit...forgive me? 

This time of year when the leaves start changing and the air is cooler and the smells of pumpkin spice is in every store you step foot in makes me happy!!

I did a session with my gorgeous little girl in her fall attire and her Halloween outfit.  Here's a few of her best!! 

I also did a session with my youngest little guy!!  We did fall pictures of him and in his costume!!  He is so thrilled with his costume this year he's barely taken it off since we bought it 2 weeks ago!! 

 He's thrilled!!!

One of my little guy's best features is his eyes, because they are the most perfect ice blue ; however when he smiles his eyes turn into half moons and you cant even see the color anymore :(  Oh well, he's still super adorable :)

I still need to take pictures of my oldest for his 7 year birthday photos and fall/Halloween so I guess I'll be editing this blog soon!! 

Before I move onto client blogs I wanted to share a photo that I recently took in my neighborhood, and you will see my love of fall!!!

Happy Fall Y'all!!!
