{ Little Kalin :: 6 Months! }

Kristen — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:55:58 +0000

I am so excited to blog this! Remember cutie-pie little Kalin from his newborn session? He’s growing SO fast! It’s so fun to see his curiosity and personality coming through, his facial features, and of course his adorable expressions! Laura and Matt are such great parents, and Kalin is SUCH a cool little dude! We had a great time at his 6-month session, it reminded me of how much I love baby photography!

Daddy’s tie, too cute!

Excuse me, Miss Lexi? This is not your photo shoot, as much as you would like it to be :)

Eee! He is such a happy kid, and they are such a happy family. It makes my heart smile just to know them :)

Toes!

This was his first time standing in the snow – documented! He wasn’t sure what to think about that cold, soft stuff!

Awww :) I love you guys!!!

I love doing sessions with friends!! Lindsay and Andy asked me to do a fun family session this fall, and I was over-the-moon excited for it. We decided on one of my favorite orchards, and we were blessed with a beautiful day with incredible light! I brought along the basket I used for Noah’s 6-month session… two years ago! Noah was my first baby session ever, using a studio setup that I quickly got rid of. I am SO not a traditional studio photographer… Gimme that gorgeous sunlight!

Oh! Did I mention that Noah is now a big brother? Meet little miss Emery and their whole adorable family! They are definitely a couple of supercute, happy kids :)

A little fall magic ~

Okay, maybe not exactly magic… but you gotta love Noah’s faces!

Speaking of magic… how about a little bubble wizardry?

I adore this one of Lindsay and Emery. Love it love it~

So fun! Thanks Lindsay and Andy! Have a wonderful holiday :)

Kiahn { one year! }

Little Kiahn is almost one! You might remember him from last year, I photographed his birth story on November 26th. In preparation for his upcoming first birthday celebration, I met up with Ann and Steve to photograph Kiahn in his traditional Korean birthday clothing, and for a fall family session. I think he looks like a little king, which of course, he absolutely is. :)

Family time!

And pupper Jazzy too!

Speaking of Jazzy… he was SO trying to steal the show! I didn’t mind, he’s stinkin’ CUTE!

How can you resist this face, seriously?!

Okay, back on task… to the park! Kiahn is juuuuust learning to stand and walk!

Thank you Ann and Steve! It was wonderful to spend the day with you! Looking forward to the celebration!

{ Wren and Ella :: Orchard Loveliness! }

Last time I saw this wonderful family was for Deb’s belly/family session a few months ago. I was so happy to see them again, especially with their new little addition – the lovely baby Wren! Like her sister Ella, she is absolutely beautiful and full of spirit. We met at my new favorite orchard on a perfect fall afternoon. The light was perfect, the sun kept us warm, and we enjoyed each other’s company. Another one of those wonderful sessions that left me all happy and glowy inside :)

I adore this one – sisters!

Cute lil punkin! :)

Someone’s been practicing her model look! Smiling with her eyes! ;)

But I kinda prefer this, a real, cute giggly smile :)

It was so good to see you guys again! Thank you for such a nice afternoon, can’t wait for next time! :)k

{ Playing in the Rain }

You might remember these cuties from last year – we did a session back in spring ’08. They were one of my first family sessions that spring, on my old blog. Then, another first – I photographed the birth of their youngest, little Jamison on October 7th of last year. That experience still sticks with me, reminds me of what a miracle life is, and what a gift we as photographers can give to another family.

Now here they are a year later, this big happy cozy family of six! It was so fun to meet up with them again and spend the afternoon with the kids, stomping around in the rain and twirling umbrellas. We all got wet and muddy, but laughed all the way through. I think it’s good for the soul to get wet and muddy every now and then. Don’t you think? :)

Fierce poses! Omigosh, I could barely stand it! Yes!! :)

I always like to get a few individuals of the kids, especially when they’re this cute!

This is Malikai:

The adorable Tiler:

Bennett, who has grown up SO much since last time!

And lovely little Jamison, just a year old!

And mom too!

Rockin’ out those fierce poses!

I love this one – it reminds me of a mama duck with her little chicks tottering behind. :)

We’re not scared of rain. Nope, nope.

We’re not even bothered by rain on our glasses :)

Daddy too!

Awww <3

Thanks for a fun day, guys! You’re awesome. Happy Fall Everyone! :)k
