Over the past 2 1/2 years, the Pagel’s have become both clients as well as great friends of ours. You might recall their family/maternity session we did at the Roseville sculpture park during the summer where the fabulous Miss G stole the show. Fast forward a couple of months and meet the newest little Pagel, another miss G! We actually did their newborn session in 2 parts; first at the studio, and a couple weeks later at their home. Between Natalie’s vision and James’ interpretation of it, they came up with some amazing, tender moments captured between mom and baby. I just love these!

We met miss S during the summer when she came for her 1-year portraits. I’m so glad they found us when they did, because she and her family have now moved away to Washington state. S has the most amazing, crystal-blue eyes, and paired with that lilac flower on her head–wow! I absolutely LOVE that headband, and am totally shocked that she left it on for even half a second. The cute tutu she’s wearing in the 2nd image was made by her sweet grandma, who I’m sure is misisng miss S and her mommy quite a bit right about now. We hope to see them back when they’re visiting!

Adorable S is one of our Bebe Collection members. Between his amazing blue eyes, crazy-cool hair, and sweet disposition, how could we come up with anything short of amazing with this guy?

This little cherub is Miss A. She is another great example of the amazing hair we’ve seen on babies lately! Must be something in the water…..:-). We met Brigitte thanks to our friends at the Silver Spoon children’s boutique, but then when she and Chris were here with Miss A, we all discovered that they’re good friends with some other clients of ours, too. Such a small world around here! A was so much fun, because she was still small enough to snuggle like a newborn but old enough to give us some sweet smiles. She impressed us all with how well she held up her head up. Stay tuned for more, as Miss A is another one of our Bebe Collection members who will be back for her 6 month session before we know it!

Meet the handsome Baby B ! You might recall this lovely family from their maternity portraits, shown in this post. We met the Ferrell family through our friends at the Silver Spoon children’s boutique (www.silverspoonchildren.com). They are one of the nicest families we’ve met and they have the most unbelievably beautiful children! Baby B is the newest addition to their family, and his hair was so cool! Big sis, L, was so sweet with baby brother; not shown is middle child, brother W, who had more important things to do that day than sit for a portrait! Not to worry, though; we just saw W and photographed him all by himself and he was awesome…stay tuned for those! We could go on all day about this family and how much we enjoy them, but I think you get the picture (no pun intended!).

Little L here came to us a little older than usual for a first timer, but hey, there’s no time limit for cute! And how about that hair! Thanks Shelly for waiting on that trim, we really liked the doo.

We got to see the little guy yesterday when Shelly came to pick up her lovely canvases. He just sat there laughing and making all sorts of fun sounds. Thanks for brightening our afternoon!

Miss G was just over 2 months old when we photographed her. We met her family over a year ago when big brother, C, came for his 2 year portraits. She was one of the most content babies I’ve ever seen and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to feed her a bottle while they were here! Have I mentioned that I love getting my baby fixes from all of the adorable little ones we photograph?

Miss E is a recent Bebe Collection graduate, and boy has she changed over the past year! She has been so fun to photograph and get to know, and we love that her mom wanted to do the whole tutu look…one of my personal favs! These images of her on the sidewalk are just priceless, and her great grandma thought so, too, as she decided to get a storyboard of them just for herself! We can’t wait to photograph E’s family together this fall…stay tuned!

These fun images were from beautiful baby A’s second Bebe session. We’ve grown quite fond of Miss A and her parents, as we’re set to photograph Eric & Samantha’s wedding this September in Lake Tahoe (we’re so excited, as this wedding is going to be amazing!). These are 2 of the most loving, genuine people we’ve ever met, and we’re thrilled beyond words to share in their wedding and family. Stay tuned to see some fun engagement portraits we did last week….

You might remember Miss E’s gorgeous mom & dad from their maternity portraits that were posted a while back here. Well, fast forward a couple of months and beautiful baby E is here! I have to point out that E was only about 5 days old in these portraits, but you’d never know it because she weighed 9 pounds when she was born (even more shocking is how tiny her mom is)! E’s mom and dad, who also happen to be very good friends of ours, had to rush to get her newborn portraits done as dad had to head back to work in Arizona where the family is now living (we’re so sad!!). It was so bittersweet for us to take these precious photographs because we knew it was the last we’d be seeing of baby E and her parents for a while. Please come back to visit us soon….we miss you guys!!
