The Little Prince, AKA: Clayton

Do you know the story of The Little Prince?  Well, I met the "real" Little Prince in my studio.  I am pleased to introduce you to Clayton Allen.

He has the most amazing little features....  fingers, toes and oh, that belly button!

  

Ohhhh, and that sweet little face of his, with that smile!

He looked so cute as an owl and that tie, he looks very dapper.

Welcome to the world Clayton, you've come into a very loving family.  

Look who is 1 - it's Kyler'Rhys!

Ky's mom and grandmother came to the studio to capture his 1-year milestone and have a little fun with a cake smash session too.  They brought the most amazing antique crates and some DIY props that grandma (so crafty) made.  Ky was a very happy boy that day...

Once we had some cute smiles, it was time to bring out the cake!  He wasn't so sure about this...  he'd never had cake or frosting before.  It'd didn't take long before he decided he liked it.  Way to go Ky!

Happy Happy Birthday to you... and many, many, many more!

Lost in a book

Miss Taylor's favorite place to be is NOT in front of the camera, but rather, lost in a good book.  This senior was a bit apprehensive about the idea of being the focus of a photo session.  She showed up at Lair o'the Bear Park with a few outfit options, her supportive and sweet mom (who also happens to be a Roller Derby girl!), and a couple of her favorite books.

                      

 

 

Taylor's favorite thing to wear are her overalls - and I can see why... she looks adorable in them!

 

 

               

 

 

That's not to say that this awesome senior can't dress for the occasion...  isn't she beautiful?!  Great job Taylor and best of luck in the future!

    

Sweet Adelynn!

Such a big yawn for a little girl. At just 3 weeks old, Adelynn came into the All Stages studio wide awake.  Her mom let me know that she sleeps soooo much so we should have no trouble having her fall asleep soon.  Well, Miss Adelynn had other plans - she was awake for nearly 2 hours.  So, what's a photographer to do?  Photographer her beautiful eyes, wide open!

After a second feeding, a warm heating pad, a paci and little rocking....  she was out like a light.  She is such an angel and I can't wait until she come back for her "sitting up" session!

....and, there is nothing better than baby fingers and toes.

Excited for Baby Clayton

Alisha and Erik, along with big sister Clara are excited that baby Clayton's arrival is near.  Having been busy throughout her pregnancy, Alisha hadn't had time to get maternity shots.  When we met at our kids' kindergarten welcome night she was so excited to learn that I am a photographer and after talking with Erik about it, we booked right away.  After all, Clayton's arrival is less than a few weeks away!

 

 

 

First I think I should introduce Miss Clara.  She is destined to be the best Big Sister ever!  Isn't she beautiful?!

 

 

Then, of course, there is the Grandma-to-be (again).  She couldn't be prouder!

 Well, and of course, there is Daddy Erik.  He can't wait to meet Little Mister!

Clara loves her mommy and Erik a lot.  This new addition will be a blessing and/but will certainly change things for her.  Here are few fun moments of her with her Mom and Erik.

 

Baby Clayton... this world is ready for you and your family is ready to see all the places you'll go!



"Book Jacket" Worthy

Hearing that Angela thought there some "book jacket" worthy shots from her session, I was thrilled.  We had 2 different weather delays but finally were able to shot at Raccoon Creek Golf Course in Littleton. 

As a young professional, Angela wanted to get headshots done for sites like LinkedIn.  She was a bit shy at first but quickly warmed up and was very easy to photograph.  Nice job Angela, I had fun working with you.
