Little Jake and his mommy, Jamee,  came over for his 8 month portrait session a couple weeks ago.  You see, Jake’s daddy, Luke, is an officer in the Marines and has been gone for the last 3 and a half months serving our country (and will not be back for another 4 months at least).  He has not had the joy of firsthand seeing his baby become a little boy.  So, when Jamee mentioned that she wanted some portraits to send to her husband overseas, I was excited to do it!  Jake is such an adorable little guy with the most amazing blue eyes!  (I’m always a sucker for those blue eyes!)  And I just LOVE his sweet cheeks!  I also wanted to say just how amazing Jamee is!  She is doing such a beautiful job of raising and caring for her little guy while Dad is away; she even has a photograph of Luke that Jake kisses and talks to everyday so that he can remember Daddy.  Her strength and beauty through this all is an encouragement to me!

Reading time with Mom and his favorite book, “If You Give a Moose a Muffin”

Jake loves his daddy!

What a great smile!!

He LOVES playing with his mama’s phone!

These two might just be my favorites… you can just feel the love between mom and son!

Sweet Baby Isaiah:: Infant Portraits

Okay.  This blog started out today as a sneak peek for Isaiah’s mommy before I headed out of town with my hubby (San Diego, here we come!!).  However, when you have such a handsome little man how do you pick only one or two??  This one… no, wait, THIS one…  And so went the dilemma in my head.  Then I asked myself, why just a couple?  So, here they are!  I shared Andrea’s maternity shoot about a month and a half ago and now this sweet little boy is here, only five days old for the portrait session.  And, my, was he fabulous!  I always recommend to my clients that the earlier we can photograph your infant the better the cooperation we get from the little ones; they are usually much more sleepy, not super fussy, and will go into whatever positions you want them to.  I realize that this may not work for every mommy or baby but Andrea brought him over last Saturday and Isaiah did not disappoint!  We were also able to get some great portraits with his big sister and his daddy- which I LOVE!!  This is such a gorgeous family (as you will see in the images)!

Jesse & Andrea- thank you SO much for bringing your family over for these portraits!  I love you both so very much and am SO excited for you with the blessing of this new little boy!  He is the sweetest!  And Ms. M- you are such a beautiful big sister!  You do such a great job of taking care of him!!

I love this tender picture- she is such a beautiful mommy!

So small in Daddy’s hands…

The beautiful (and very excited) big sister!

Aren’t they gorgeous?!  No wonder they make beautiful babies!!  Congrats to you both!

Edits are done and the mom and dad have the disk in their hot little hands so now I can share more from Adam and Amanda’s family portrait session two weeks ago!  As I mentioned, these family pictures were to celebrate their little one’s third birthday.  And what a doll she is!!  She was constantly on the move so I had to keep on my toes (including a game of tag during the shoot) but it made for some great images.  We were also able to let their little girl wander off and play while we got some fabulous “couple” portraits with just Adam and Amanda.  It was so much fun spending my evening with this family!  And what’s SUPER exciting: last night as I was giving them their image disk, they shared a picture of their own with me- their sweet little girl with a t-shirt on that says “Big Sister”.  They are expecting a new little one to join their family early next year!!  I am SO happy for them!

Adam and Amanda- I had a wonderful evening with you all!  It was so much fun shooting with you guys!  And I am so very excited for you and can’t wait to meet this new little one God’s bringing along!  What a blessing!!  Yea!!  And Arielle- a very happy birthday to you, Big Sister!!

They both have such beautiful smiles!

A gorgeous couple very much in love…

I was loving the open fields and late afternoon sun on her family’s property in Red Bluff…

Adam also asked about just a couple shots of him for his computer business, Knightly Computing.  He is a greatly talented computer guru!  I have utilized his expertise on several occasions!!
