Nicolas' Baptism

Nicolas had quite the celebration last weekend! He was baptized into the Catholic church surrounded by friends and family from near and far. I was able to capture photos before, during, and after the baptism, including the family reception afterward. Nico was quite the trooper through the day's events, it was a long day for such a little guy! I just added a few of Nico's portraits in the beautiful suit from his Godmother!

Celebrating Baby Isaac

The Harris family was a joy to photograph. We did our portraits in anticipation of the upcoming birth of their first son, Isaac. Natalia was a great helper during our shoot, as she checked out my digital images, helped rearrange the backdrop, and posed with her mom. She is definitely going to be a great big sister when her little brother arrives. I can't wait to photograph him and the new family in the coming weeks! Until then... here are a few favorites!

Amanda

Amanda struck gold when she suggested taking her senior portraits in the snow! Luckily, she was ready on short notice as we arranged our session just after our big snow on February 2nd... Amanda has a great easy going personality and braved the winter elements for quite a while... her natural beauty made for some effortless photos!! Keep your eye out for a few shots this spring when we get together again!

Sophie and Ziggy

Another pair of Bostons, these two are again... nothing but trouble! They have grown up quite a bit over the years and to call them mellow would be an exageration... but let's just say they have "matured".... a bit! I caught Sophie pre-yawn and Ziggy must have thought a treat was coming his way! Gotta love the Bostons... they are the third pair I have photographed this past month!

Bosley

Bosley was at the park with his owner, just before my senior photo session with Amanda... He was hilarious... he loved rolling in the snow and was covered in ice chunks by the time I finished chatting with his photographer "mom." I loved this one of him covered in snow... maybe he and Buddy can meet up next time!

The Valentino Family

Meeting up with four generations was a wonderful experience. In addition to family photos, there were sibling photos, couples photos, cousin photos, and four legged photos... it was truly an enjoyable experience to get to know each family and personalize their session... until the next baby is born... enjoy a few of my favorites!

Baby A

Baby A is one of my best friend's little girls.. She is such a beautiful and sweet addition to their family! She loves smiling, reading books, and making everyone laugh around her. Bear, the former "only child" in the house is still a little unsure of his role and how things will play out with his new sibling! I can't wait for my next visit to see Baby A, she is growing like crazy!

Bo & Bandit

An incredible duo... these Boston's are my friends "little mongrels" as I like to call them (affectionately of course)! Bo is the older, more mature of the two, who was even acting a bit timid when I invited him on my lap. Bandit on the other hand... lives up to his name and more! He is the feisty, frisky, play fetch-all-day with a soggy ball companion. These two are full of energy and will occasionally stop for a few seconds, during their busy schedules to pose for me... check out their "dad's" Boston Blog at http://boston-terrier-blog.blogspot.com/ Until next time... here are a few favorites!

Maya and Mason

Maya and Mason are growing bigger and bigger each time we meet up... Besides growing in size, their personalities are growing as well... Maya the more timid one, who speaks up when she's being bullied and Mason, the instigator, who manages to listen... only long enough for his portrait to be taken! Enjoy checking out the pups... any ideas as to how they spend their time together?

Renee

Renee always has a great time posing for the camera, but last weekend marked our first bath time photo session together! I have always loved capturing photos of her outside, but in these cold months there was a new location to try out...one that didn't require several layers of clothes! Renee was at it again, being super smiley for the camera and having a ball chatting it up the whole time... her verbal skills are out of this world!!

A & A

Andrew and Adam had a great time in front of the camera on a blustery Saturday evening at my house! They always put up with lots of photos, especially during this time of year when being inside means being in front of the camera! I love it that Andrew now calls me "fun Amy" every time we get together! He has grown up to be such a helpful and loving big brother... baby Adam and his parents are so lucky!

Team Eastman

Meet Team Eastman... Ellie, Caroline, Wilson, & Luke... and don't forget their dog, Clark, and mom and dad! I was so excited to finally meet the quadruplets after getting weekly updates and photos since their miraculous birth! I taught with their mom for several years, and enjoyed visiting with her and documenting life with FOUR eight month olds!! Some of my favorite photos were of all of the team's stuff... you can't help but notice how having multiples gives you so many of the basics... the bottles, the towels, etc! Unfortunately, we will have to wait until my next visit to capture a photo of the entire team together... we weren't willing to compromise the eating and sleeping schedules of four little ones, two days after Christmas and the day before a family trip just for a photo... so until next time... enjoy a glimpse of life with the Team!
