Master Mason is 2!

Happy Birthday, Mason!

It was such a special time to capture these sweet moments from this beautiful family.  Mason will be two soon and he is definitely ready for all the independence that comes with it.  He carried himself as a little man that day, walking around with confidence and pride, he showed no fear as he ran up and down the water's shores.  That was one thing I learned about Mason; he is ready for the big time.  He is ready to be the "big boy".  What a sweet "big boy" he is going to be!

Sam + Josh = Mason 

Little Miss "S"

Little Miss "S" had no problem smiling for the camera.  She seemed to be in her element, not worrying about hats or tutus, just loving life and demonstrating that through her big smile.  I have loved to watch her grow over the last few months; she is such a joy.  It has been my pleasure to work with her and her family.  Her parents are going to be on their toes because this one is certainly a charmer!

Hats and tutus were made by Shelbie Green at 2TwoCute Boutique.  Check out her work.  It's fabulous!

The Green Family

Working with the Green Family on their impromptu half-hour shoot worked out perfectly.  The weather did not disappoint and their smiles were so easy to capture.  To my surprise, we even had some time to grab those invaluable candid moments.  The little one had no trouble finding the camera, and it made me laugh at how easy-going she was that morning.  
It was so fun to work with you all, I cannot wait until we meet up again!  

Little Miss Cheyenne

Cheyenne and her mom, Jillian, made it out to the 2TwoCute Boutique shoot and it was such a pleasure to meet them.  Poor Miss Cheyenne was feeling a bit overwhelmed, so much so she preferred that no one see her in her tutu.  We all tried to tell her it looked absolutely adorable on, but she was beyond convincing. :)  However, when things settled down towards then end, she decided she was ready to show off some products for the camera.  Thanks for being so flexible, Jillian!  I hope I get to work with Cheyenne again soon!

Little Miss Breanna

I met Breanna and her mother and grandmother at the 2TwoCute Boutique shoot recently.  Breanna was so easy going; she had no problem sitting back and letting us take pictures of her.  Although she disliked the thought of being in the grass (who wouldn't while wearing just a tutu!), she was a joy to work with.  We put bows in and out of her bountiful hair, and towards the end of the shoot, she was all about sticking out her tongue and laughing.  Such a cutie!  Thanks, Kim, for your support of two local businesses!  It was such a pleasure working with you all!

Master Mason

It was such a pleasure to work with Mason and his mother, Samantha on the 2TwoCute Boutique shoot.  I enjoyed each and every second of capturing him as he modeled his knitted cap.  Throughout the entire shoot, all Mason wanted to do was go outside.  "Outside, outside," he remarked and pointed out the door.  He would even come inside to tell me he wanted to go outside! It just made sense to portray him in his favorite setting!  He was so darling!  I cannot wait to meet up with Mason again as we welcome his upcoming birthday!

2TwoCute Boutique

I know quite a few people that are in my shoes.  They have the desire to branch out on their own and be their own boss.  With that comes looking into building your own website.  That is how I hooked up with 2TwoCute Boutique.  This was one of my very first product shoots (outside of taking my own pics for my food blog), and it was such a pleasure to work with Shelbie Green at 2TwoCute Boutique.  She has some fantastic ideas for infant/toddler accessories!  While the baby models were so cute, this here was all about showcasing her fabulous work.  

Congrats on the business, Shelbie!  Good luck!

The Hutton Family

One of the first "shoots" I did, mostly just for fun but real all the same, was for my older brother's family in the Fall of 2010.  They are big Michigan fans living in Columbus, Ohio and oh boy, Saturdays can be pretty tough around there.  Now, I know some of their friends did not really appreciate us out and about sporting blue and maize gear on a College Football Saturday, but it was a blast anyways.  

I love these guys!
