Little Preston & Family {Athens OHIO Children's Photographer}

Sneak Peek time!

Sunday I had a shoot with a repeat client and some of their family members. I just love this little kid, he reminds me so much of my little Levi. I think they are about 6 months apart in age, but equally difficult to chase around with a camera ;) Such a fun and rotten age for a little boy! And I love every single minute of it.










I was also asked to do a few shots of Preston's older cousins to update Aunt Tre's walls :) Here are a few of those:

When I was in college, I took up a required photography course. Needless to say, it was no easy feat, especially with a difficult professor! But I learned how to appreciate photography more because of that. I always love and appreciate so much the hard work that photographers put into their craft.

This week's featured blogger happens to be very good at capturing those special moments. Photographing babies and toddlers is not easy, but you wouldn't be able to tell from her photos. You'd think those adorable little cuties were pros at posing in front of the camera. I couldn't help but gush at them; with their teeny tiny toes and hands, and their innocent smiles, perfectly captured by an amazing photographer.

Armed with her photography skills and tools, and of course her passion for her craft, she brings magic to life in her photographs. Congratulations Sara, you are our Blogger of the Week!

Lil Miss Alivia {Athens OH Childrens Photographer}

Last week I received some new cute and girly props and needed an adorable little cutie to come over and help me test them out. Of course little Alivia was first to come to mind :) I worked with her mother for over 9 years, we've watched each other's kids grow from infancy to double digits, so nothing pleases me more than to be able to provide her with timeless memories of those adorable children!

It took a little bit for Alivia to warm up, but once Levi came in to "help", turned on his charm, and scared her half to death with his boyish destruction, she became a little more comfortable. I'm sure that cupcake helped a bit too (hey, i'm all for bribery at the right times;)... Oh, and my husband helped too.. I think she has a crush on him ;) Haha. Unfortunately it was cold and rainy, so we had to shoot indoors, but I'm still pretty pleased with the results... take a peek!

Mr. Rylee {Athens OH Childrens Photographer}

Last weekend I had a family over to my home in my makeshift studio area , where I had another shoot with Baby Rylee, now 6 whole months old! Our last shoot he was just a teeny tiny newborn. It always fascinates me how much a child grows between shoots, especially that first year. I just love being able to watch a them grow through the various momentous stages of their early years. It happens so quickly, they're almost teenagers in a blink! I'm so happy to be able to record these moments for parents and their precious little ones :) It's almost like some of my clients have become family to me! I just love that!

So, here's Mr. Rylee, now 6 months old! So much more personality since last time I saw him!
