I Heart Faces Photo Challenge-Enjoying Life {Delaware Portrait Photographer}

I have not written since Fathers Day. But since then, we have become homeowners!!! (I will eventually get to posting pictures of our place). My birthday (June 24th) passed, and Charlotte has started walking!!!  I know I have been bad with updating the blog, but I think I have had good reason. A lot has been going on!

Any who, you know I love me some photo challenges! This one comes from I Heart Faces, and the theme is: Enjoying Life.  I like to think that we enjoy life every single day!

This image has got to be one of my favorites.  Charlotte playing outside in her little tee pee. Laughing and screaming, and crawling around.  Babies have no stress, no worries. They just live life, love it, and smile.

{Newborn Portrait-Robert} Delaware newborn and baby photographer

My friends Karen and Ridge added an adorable little addition to their family named Robert.  I have been anxious to meet the little one since he was born! And yesterday Karen stopped by so we can catch up, and I could not resist getting a few shots in.  Of course, he woke up, and I still believe my curse of the non-sleeping newborns is alive and well!  It's ok though! His little face and big personality totally made up for it.  So here are some of his images and you can soak up the adorableness for yourselves!

The last picture I like to call "The Gun Show", since that is the little pose who is in. Do you have tickets?  To what? The gun show!!! 

Every time I photograph a new little one, I am amazed at how fast time really does fly. My daughter is almost 8 months old. And I see this tiny little babies, and then look at my daughter, and I'm just baffled. Time really does slip away. I am so glad that I am able to be a part of peoples lives and give them images of the very special times in their lives.

Now it's Saturday! And apparently I do not know what the meaning of taking a day off to relax is, hence me working and posting this blog. But I am going to head out and enjoy the day with my daughter and husband!!! Have a great weekend everyone! Pin It

Childrens Session: Morgan and Taran {Delaware Baby and Children Photographer}

Babies, babies, babies galore. And throw in their adorable older siblings, and it is a recipe for pure cuteness. I love photographing little Taran and his big sister Morgan. They were just the sweetest things ever.  Full of personality and fun, and just amazing.  And again, Taran was another newborn who stayed awake for his entire session. Will I ever photograph a sleeping baby? Probably not. But I must admit, I do love when they interact and make little cooing noises at me. 

Here is some of the images from their session. Enjoy.

Little loves and pumpkin milkshakes

The fall weather has been quiet finnicky.  Instead of breaking out my sweaters (which I can't seem to find) and boots, I am still wearing t-shirts and flip flops out most days.  Mother nature can't make up her mind.  Not that I am complaining, I would rather it stay semi-warm for as long as possible.  I tell you this, I am not looking forward to winter.

But being that it is fall, even if the weather does not agree, it is time to indulge in all things pumpkin flavored!!!  To me, it just seems weird to have anything pumpkin flavored if it's not during the months of October-December.  It is sort of an unwritten rule.  Talking about indulging, indulged I did last night.  We went to Sonic and I ordered a pumpkin milkshake.  It was DELICIOUS!!!  I must have sounded like a cow while drinking it, that is how good it was.  It had bits of pumpkin pie or pumpkin cookie, something pumpkin in it.  I need another one. Right. Now.

Now onto something not pumpkin related...

That is me and my daughter Charlotte. I can't believe she is 7 weeks old already.  She has changed so much!

So anyway, go get yourself a pumpkin milkshake from Sonic!

Getting back into the swing of things!

As of yesterday my daughter is 4 weeks old.  I can't believe how slow and fast it has gone by.  I already feel like she is growing up so fast!  She smiles and coos, can almost roll over, watches tv, loves listening to music, and actually tries to have conversations by way of sticking out her tongue.  My baby is growing up so fast!  There are times when I still can't believe that I am a mother.  It is still so very amazing to me.  Here is a shot of my gorgeous girl just being so sweet and innocent!  She loves being in her swing!

I promise you I am not only photographing my daughter! I do indeed have sessions scheduled with families and kids other than my own, and I cannot wait.  This Sunday starts the ball rolling with a family of six, including their dog!(yay for dogs!!!)  The funny thing is, the client is the aunt of one of my past wedding clients and is the best friend to one of my past engagement session clients.  As I have said before, word of mouth to a photographer is INVALUABLE!  Especially when you live in a tiny state like Delaware.  So a big thanks again to all of my clients(now friends) who spread the word and send more awesome people to me!!!

It feels good to be getting back into the swing of things.  And I am so thankful that I have the type of job that allows me to be with my family almost all of the time.  I get all misty when I leave her with my mother for a few hours, I have no idea how I would handle it if I had to leave her everyday for 8 hours or more.  But do not get me wrong, this is a lot of work! A lot of hard, tiring, sometimes stressful work.  Behind the fun and beautiful images that is a team (mainly me, myself, and I) working behind the scenes on everything!  Which reminds of a quote that I ran across on another photographers page:

“Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it my be” - E. Weston

 

And on that note I shall have to end this post here as I have a hungry baby. Pin It
