Meet Baby Samantha

Baby Samantha is the daughter of Amanda's mom's niece. OK a little confusing, but I guess we could say that baby Samantha and Amanda are cousins. It was fun shooting Samantha and trying out some new ideas.

This photo I love! It is Samantha holding Grandma's hand.


Here is cute baby Samantha!

Baby toes!

Trying to hold her head up.

I brought along the butterfly wings to try this shot out and am happy with how it came out! I did not know until after I shot these that Samantha's mom loves butterflies! What a great surprise for mom!

This is an old chair that I found in my attic and just love it! Samantha did not like it so much at first. I got her to fall and sleep and got a few cute ones!

Here is a close up of the first shot!

Here is Samantha with Grandma and one with Grandpa!

Thank you for having me in your home to shoot this cute little baby girl! I look forward to shooting her some more!

Amanda 1 year!

Amanda turns 1! Can you believe i? I have been shooting her for 12months now. We had a great shoot this time and had lots of smiles. The last few shoots she as been very shy with the camera. I think because we made this shoot into a play date (and photos) it warmed her right up. I brought my daughter along with me and she blew bubbles for Amanda which was a big distraction.



I brought along some dress up accesories and Amanda loved these beads the best!

The balloons that I brought along were a big hit too!

We finally had a great shoot and were able to get many smiles form Amanda.

I brought along some princess accessories. I thought that putting the tiara and the boa on her would look so cute. free 8x10 Which she very much does, however she did not like the feel of the feathers.

Showing off the Princess wand. I love this shot- how the wand is framing her happy mouth.

I am so glad that I got this shot. Leaning over and thinking about putting her face right into the cake. I thought for sure that was what she was going to do. But scroll down and continue looking and you can see what she did.

Contemplating over the feel of the icing.

Covered in icing and cake. The greatest part of turning 1, your very own bday cake to make a mess with and no one gets upset about the mess!

The clean up begins.

Thank you to the Whitney's for inviting me into your lives and allowing me to share in Amanda's first year. I look forward to watching her continue to grow this year and I hope for many years to come!
