My Favorite People

We’ve been a little under the weather here the past few days so I thought I’d share some images I took of the my kiddos a couple weeks back.

I love my job. I really do, but when I get home in the evening the last thing I want to do at times is take another picture. I make myself though. I make myself pick up the camera one more time to capture all the things I don’t want to forget.

I make myself because they are the cutest kids in the world. (I am aware that I might be a wee bit biased.)

And for a real look into my life:

Maybe one of my favorite photos of my little man ever:

And my little girl…just how I usually see her…mad that she’s not getting her way. Right after I told her it was time to go home. :(

Biased or not, they sure are cute. Don’t you think?

Akron Children’s Photography {K’s Sneak Peek}

It’s quite late…but I couldn’t go off to sleep without sharing a few of these images of {K}. She is downright adorable. I have photographed little {K} a number of times, but I never get tired of her. To be quite honest with you, she cracks me up. She has more spunk and personality than most people I know…all wrapped up in a tiny little body. Love it.

And lest you think I am joking about this personality:

Goodnight all. Hope you have a great sleep.

Oh Oh Oh, the Sweetest Thing(s)

I have to tell you, when I found out my sister was having twins, my first thought was wow, that’s going to be tough. My second thought, though, was I can’t wait to take pictures of those babies!

After a couple weeks in the NICU, these two are finally home and adjusting to life. Well, actually, I think they’ve adjusted….my poor sister and brother-in-law are the ones adjusting! Last week I finally was able to have the session I’ve been thinking about for almost a year. And, oh my goodness, let me tell you…I love these two.

Meet Luke:

And now Blake:

Yes, it’s official. I could eat them up.

I bought these hats for them from Sweet Pea Hats before they were born. I’ve had this shot in mind for a while now. I may be biased, but I love it.

What is it about baby toes? I just can’t get enough of them. {And yes, Matt, they unfortunately got our families “finger toes.”}

Blake and Luke, I love you so much already. I can’t wait to watch you grow up. Thanks for being so good for our session! Hugs and Kisses.

***And if these two don’t need an “If you think I’m cute, you should see my aunt” t-shirt, I don’t know who does. Wouldn’t you agree?

Get Ready to Smile {V’s Sneak Peek}

This is going to be quick but I could’t wait to share this adorable little man with you all. All of these photos just make me happy.

Do you remember a sweet little infant from a few months back? Well, he grew up and look at him now. I’m not sure he could be any cuter.

If this next one doesn’t make you smile…you may need a vacation.

This is one of my favorite father-son photographs ever. Look at those smiles. We just hope he doesn’t grow up to be a Celtics fan.

All he needs now is a remote:

3 Years Old!

I feel like a bit of a broken record but I don’t know how time flies so fast. My sweet little niece is somehow three!

I love watching her and Eden grow up together and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for both of them. I just wish the future would come a little more slowly. It will probably feel like tomorrow and they will be in each other’s weddings.

I can almost hear her laughing in this next one.

Look at this little lady!

Happy Birthday little {A}! Love you lots.

Once Upon a Time…

…there was a little girl and a little boy who turned one. They were betrothed to be married however little {C} wasn’t so sure about the idea.

But after some drinks, he warmed up a bit.

I couldn’t resist. :)

You may recall Little Miss {M} here is Dave’s granddaughter. She and this little guy shared a birthday party last weekend. There have been four babies born in 2009 amongst their friends. Here they are with one big brother {L}. Have you ever put five kids (four being age one and under) in one photograph? You can’t imagine the sweat that was involved here.

Below is a compilation of four different photographs of the cuties. Dave shot most of these while I pulled out my tricks. {Basically making a fool of myself, doing anything I can to make a one year old smile.}

All five breathed a sigh of relief when the mommies jumped in. Aren’t they a beautiful bunch? And this is after the photo workout.

You might remember this little guy from here…look how he’s grown!

Little {I} is no stranger to the blog either. See her here.

Loved this shot of {L} with his mommy.

And now for the families:

Not a bad looking group, huh?

Akron/Cleveland Children’s Photographer {K & L’s Sneak Peek}

Sometimes life is just not fair. Everyday I get up, wash, blow dry, brush, straighten, spray, and smooth. Yet, still, my hair doesn’t look as cute as Miss {K’s}. This little thing was born with GREAT hair. It’s poker straight…thick…perfect. She can run around for an hour stop and shake her head, and it’s right back to a Pantene commercial. {And she’s only four.}

And her brother is not so bad looking himself. :) Little {L} was not a huge fan of a photo session but with a few tricks we ended up with some great shots.

Neither was a big fan of my stools. :(

But, it wasn’t anything a couple packs of Gushers couldn’t solve.

And…it’s a good thing Gushers did the trick since they coordinate perfectly with their green and blue.

This was a busy weekend with lots to share but for now I will leave you with a hint of what’s to come. :0)

Akron/Canton Baby Photography {I’s Sneak Peek}

Little {I} was the sweetest little thing and I think I know where she got it. Her parents have been so patient waiting for this sneak peek! With the Janie & Jack shoot and a few others…somehow this poor little girl had to wait. Thanks {S} Family for your patience. She is precious.

See…I told you she was sweet.

…and happy…

O.K. Get ready for this. I am in love with these next two.

Look at those toes!

Thanks again {S} family. Give her lots of kisses for me.

Legacy Village Janie & Jack {Cleveland Children’s Photographer}

Amy — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 06:06:24 +0000

Last week I had the opportunity to photograph almost thirty children at the Jack & Janie store in Legacy Village. I must say…I love Legacy Village. I feel cooler just being there. Anywhere with an Apple Store, Starbucks, and Cheesecake Factory all in one place has to be good, don’t you think?

So, in between sips of a White Mocha, I met some of the cutest little munchkins I’ve ever seen. I swear every kiddo I photographed could sign up for modeling. Here’s a quick sneak peek of some of the adorableness:

Thanks to all the parents (and grandparents) from this shoot. It was a blast working with all of your little ones.
