Beautiful Eyes, Iheartfaces photo chalenge

It has been several weeks since I entered a photo in the Iheartphotos photo challenge. This weeks theme is Beautiful Eyes. There were several little ones that I have shot that came to mind,but when going through them this little man stood out. He has beautiful blue eyes and long lashes. Eyes to make any female jealous.

I love how the bars of the playground and the wheel frame his face!

Caught up...

Well I have finally did it. I have caught up with all the shoots from the end of 2010. I do have some of the Vanderlindes at Christmas and a few that I took of my kids at Christmas too. I also shot a wedding in October that I wanted to share a few of the images that I captured. I will post them over the next week.
I know that it has only taken me 8 months to get all caught up, but I got caught up with life this year. I am again putting a little more focus on my photography and have lots more post to share. So be sure to keep you eye out and keep checking back for more posts.
I have several shoots from 2011 that I need to post as well. We had some family photos done a few weeks ago by my wonderful friend Melisa. We took these at her in-laws house in Oneida, NY. I have a few that I wanted to share with everyone as well.

Hailey turns 1 and Christmas photos too

It was such a pleasure to watch Hailey grow in her first year of life. Thank you Swartz family for giving me this honor. Here are some of my favorite photos from Hailey's 1 year shoot. Since she is a december baby we did some Christmas photos too.

Sitting in front of the Christmas tree with Mommy and Daddy.

"OH, What could be inside this present?"

Sitting my the fireplace in her Christmas dress.

I made this tutu to use in this shoot and then stuck her in a hat box. I think by her expression she was enjoying herself.

I thought that this would be a great way to end the shoot, what little girl does not love to admire herself in the mirror

Thanks so much.

Baby Samantha is 1!

I had the honor of shooting baby Samantha when she was just 2 months old and was very excited when asked to shoot some for her 1st birthday. I could not wait to see how much she had grown, and grow she did do.

We tried a "girly" shot, with the tutu and the headband, but she was not really feeling it.

Eating some Goldfish Crackers, waiting on her cake.

Gotta love the whole face in the cake shots! They are the ones that I look forward to.

We finally just cut her a slice to eat.

Thank you for the honor of shooting Samantha's First birthday photos!
