Sweet at Six Months

I was asked to photograph this sweet little six month old last month, and I was so excited!  Six months is a fun age to work with.  He was not quite sitting up by himself- but he sure tried for me :)  And he sure made us work for these smiles!  Here are some of my favorites :)

  

   

Cinnamon, spice and everything nice...

Cinnamon, spice, and everything nice, that's what this little girl is made of!  She is the SWEETEST little thing ever!!!  And her little voice... oh my... she is precious. :)  I was so excited to take her 3 year old pictures, and she is such a natural in front of the camera. :) I love her and her sweet family, here are my favorites from our session.

i heart faces- Hands

I was more than a little excited when I saw the theme for the i heart faces challenge of the week- Hands.  I absolutely love this picture of hands that I got from a session a couple of weeks ago.  I was saving it to share in my next blog, but I think it's even a better idea to share it now.  Happy Monday everyone!!! :)

Rainy days and Mondays

Well... I chose the title Rainy days and Mondays thinking that today was Monday... Three day weekends always get me confused!  But, it was a rainy day when I met up with the winner of our Sweetness Contest from back in February.  We had tried to set a date many times, but between my work schedule, her school schedule, and summer being so hot, we couldn't work anything out.  Then, when we finally did pick a date IT RAINED!!! So, rather than just call it off, we postponed and I watched the radar like a hawk.  Once it seemed that the rain... and lightning... had moved past our county, we raced over and got our session in before the next set of storms moved in.  It was a fun hour, and I am so happy with the pictures of this beautiful mom and son.  I hope you enjoy them, and have a happy Monday... um... Tuesday!!!

Fix It Friday

Today I decided to try my hand at an i heart faces Fix it Friday challenge.  Fix it Friday is a challange where i heart faces provides an unedited, usually problematic, photo for other people to edit and share! I was very pleasantly surprised when today's photo was a newborn!!! Newborns are by far my favorite stage of life, and my favorite to photograph.  I know several pregnant ladies right now, and even more families that have grown by one in the last month.  And I've been itching to snap some newborn cuteness!  So, until all of the babies I know are ready for their close up, I'll enjoy this cute little bundle. I hope that you are as enamored by this sweet baby as I am. Have a blessed weekend!!!

Here is the provided image.

Here is my first edit:
I cropped in a little, color corrected, and used a Paint the Moon action, and vignette.

And just for fun, I decided to rotate and zoom in to get a close up. Such a sweet face!!! :)

Happy Friday!!! :)
