Please excuse my lack of wittiness in this blog post.  A crazier weekend with an even busier week ahead has resulted in an extreme need for some ibuprofen.

Once again, life has gotten away from me.  Swim lessons 5 nights a week, demanding times at work, soccer, personal stresses, lots of photo sessions!, and an insurance legal battle have left me running on fumes (not to mention in pain – insurance has stopped paying for my neck/back therapy).

So I am going to stop promising that I won’t do this, and once again, crush everyone’s hopes and dreams of a blog post all to themselves :(  I promise that I will make an attempt to try harder!  But until something gives, I must get my beauty sleep or I am pretty sure I will grow horns.  Red ones.  With glitter…

Here are a few of my favorites from the past few sessions :)

Does this cutie look familiar?  She should :)

I got both of the dogs to look at the camera at the same time.  I gave myself a pat on the back.

It is hard to believe that Grey is 6 months old!

And Tate is already 3 months!  These babies are growing way too fast :(

It is hard for me to look at him and not call him Cooper!  He is his big brother’s mini-me!

And a few maternity pictures for good measure!  Little Amos Jr. is now 1 month old, they live in Louisville, but I can’t wait to meet him.

Goodnight friends!

Can 2 get any cuter?

I don’t think so!

Libbie was such a joy to play with!  Another great client, another great location!  2010 has been AMAZING so far :)

I met Lori and her beautiful family in October at my mini shoot marathon!  Grey was only a few weeks old, and of course it had to be the coldest day of the year thus far!  When she contacted me to shoot Grey’s 3 month photos she suggested an amazing location last minute – The Blue Manatee in Hyde Park.  What is that, you ask?  An AMAZING children’s bookstore!  I had never been there before.  It is cute, colorful, and full of amazing children’s books, and attached to a little cafe.  Not to mention next to the Spotted Goose, and adorable children’s boutique!

What a PERFECT way to kick of 2010 @ My Bluegrass Baby Photo!

Thank you Lori, for introducing me to such a wonderful Cincinnati treasure.  BB will love it when we get the chance to make it back up there!  I can’t wait to see your family (and the dogs!) again in April!

Show business!

I have a feeling you will see this little guy on a stage someday!  He is such a ham!  I have never shot a child so young that was so willing to pose!  His sister was another story, she ran from the big black scary monster as fast as she could :)  But I still caught a few frames of adorableness :)

Oh those eyes!

My new FAVORITE!

Thank you Amber for contacting me!  It was so great to see you again and meet your children.  They are beautiful!

When I talk to other photographers, most of them tell me that their least favorite photography subjects are children.  They don’t sit still, they can’t pose them, ect.  That is the reason I LOVE photographing kids.  They don’t put on fake smiles, they don’t pose like statues.  They are just living with what they are given, and that pureness makes the best photos :)

Meet Ryan…

…he is going to be a ladykiller one day with those blue eyes…

…his parents adore him…

…he adores his parents…

…and a second after this frame was shot, I let him fall face first into the mulch :(

…he wasn’t too mad at me….

…I love photographing children :)

Happy 1st Birthday Ryan!
