What a difference one year makes!

 Feb 2010

to Feb 2011.

Wow! My little bub is growing up so fast! When he was playing in the tub the other day (obviously this was a few weeks ago and it's just taken me a long time to post them) I realized that it had been along time since I'd taken any playing-in-the tub pictures. And I was thinking I'd better hurry up cause those tubby-pictures days don't last that long! Well when I went back and looked I realized that it's been exactly a year since the last time I did this and I love seeing how much he's changed :)

In the studio....

Wow, 20 months!! I can't believe how big Reid is getting. He looks like such a BOY and not such a baby in these pictures. We took these while getting the studio ready for our session with Cerrie the other day. I've been  making some changes lately to make the whole studio setup even more portable. I'm really excited about the ways these turned out. It helped that I can now setup where ever I need to to get the best light. It would help alot more if Reid wasn't constantly in motion. But it's amazing what a couple of gummy bears will get you. Is there a milestone for "responds to bribery"? Cause if there is, we have arrived!

Sorry, no smiles in the whole bunch. Lately that day he came down with that awful stomach bug that been going around. We are only just recovering after I was down for the count on Sunday and Monday. I'll have to figure out if there's a food he'll sit AND smile for. Probably blueberries! :)

Fun with collages...

Yesterday, while having fun with Cerrie's storyboard collage, I wanted to try out a few more for my another session I did about a month back. I just love that rolly-polly not-yet-running-all-over-the-place baby stage :)

Cerrie's One Year Session

This adorable little lady is the daughter of a friend of mine. Since I have a toddler of my own, I'm used to toddler photography and all the chasing and begging and bribery that it usually entails.....but it's easy to forget that each little person has there own unique personality... Or maybe it's just that boys and girls are so different! Cerrie was such a sweetheart and oh-so-cooperative even though we had to re-try this shoot a couple of times. Thanks to Mom and Dad for having me over to take these and thanks to baby Cerrie for one whole year of your sweet smiles! :)

 

......oh and I had a little help during my session from this guy.....
