Olivia’s 6 Month Session

When I think of Olivia I think of one thing – her many expressions.  Well, two things… her expressions and her big blue eyes.

Um, yeah… ridiculous, huh??

Such a happy little girl – hanging out in her Woodstock shirt…

One of my favorites – the look of excitement in her eyes as she grabbed (and got a really good grip on) mom’s hair!

We zipped over to Rosedale Farm for a few outdoor family shots… mud and all!

Another one of my favorites – uniquely Olivia…

And, finally – the many expressions of Olivia…

Nick’s Newborn Session – 5 Days Old

There is another beautiful baby in this world – meet Nick.  He is simply perfect in every way.  Here are a few photos from yesterday’s session in his nursery.  Congratulations, Steph and Ian.  I can’t wait to watch this little man grow. :)

I love this shot – in a few weeks Nick is going to look completely different.  This shot has newborn written all over it…

Snuggled up with Dad…

This shot makes me laugh – the plan: a family portrait in the nursery.  Well, it is a family shot, but Sydney (the dog) is supposed to be hanging out with her family… not dominating the foreground!  Dogs and children – a mind of their own!

This guy may be a handful – too funny.

And what session would be complete without Cale – here he is meeting Nick.  He wasn’t quite sure what to think.  These two will be partners in crime in no time!

Breakfast with Santa – Fleming Farm, West Simsbury, CT

This past weekend we started a new tradition in our family – breakfast with Santa!  What better place to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus for the first time than at Fleming Farm over a plate of their fresh scrambled eggs, pancakes and home fries.  Yummy!

No tears this year – Cale was all smiles.  What can I say… Cale loves red. :)   It was a bit chilly for a trip out to reindeer land this year – we’ll save that adventure for next year!

Baby it’s cold outside…

I have always been an active person – someone who enjoys being on the go.  Having a baby has forced me to slow down, live in the moment, and just drink in life.  I used to hate being stuck at home, but these days I relish days when we are home all day, just hanging out.  Yesterday it was so cold – we went out and got all of our errands done early and spent the afternoon playing in his nursery.  These are the simple moments that I am going to miss – watching him learn, explore and play.  Man, life is so good…

This is a common view for me right now – our little guy, trying so hard to walk, loves to pull up on things, including mom’s pants…  I think this is going to be one of my all-time favorite photos of him.  No, not an award winner, but it is the one I love…

It has been so much fun watching him learn to pull up on the rocking chair – does it like a pro now, and even lets go and stands for a few seconds before gravity gets the best of him.

Our happy little guy… always looking for a good time.
