There are some sessions that just seem to go perfectly — and this was one of them. We had photographed maternity portraits of Elliot’s parents a little over a year ago and they wanted to go back to the same park as before.

First we started out in the studio. Isn’t her lip adorable here?

Mark and Corinne were in a few, too.

The princess with her birthday hat.

How big is Elliot? Soooooo big!

The princess’ tush.

We went over to the park and this was one of the first images — I think it’s my favorite from this session.

On the bridge waving “hi.”

Elliot is so happy, here.

A wonderful session for a beautiful girl. Be sure to see the slideshow and leave a comment below, too.

Aiden was here for his final session on the Baby’s First Year plan a few weeks ago. He’s really changed a lot over the past year.

Isn’t that hat adorable?

Cool beyond his years.

What a face. Such determination in his walking.

As always, there’s a slideshow to be seen. Leave a comment below, too.

This is a bit late, but I thought I’d post about it anyway. As you might remember, we were in a trade show a couple months ago for babies and kids up to around age 5. The Baby Bonanza. It was a bit different this year — in April rather than March, a bigger venue, two days long, and more events.

This is how our booth looked like this year. I think it came together really well. Since people loved it so much last year, we once again had a lollipop game where we gave out gift certificates. What’s not to like about free candy? We also had a rest area where people could sit their kids down and have them play with coloring sheets and crayons (washable, of course). And, of course, the photography on the walls, in books, on easels, and on tables to show off our work.

The highlights are the diaper derby races, so I have a few images from those.

There was a stage where vendors could demonstrate what they do — like how to exercise with your baby:

Here’s a winner of one of the races.

Another highlight of the event is the fashion show.

The fashion show is for the parents, too!

Here’s another vendor — this time singing with kids.

And the winner of the final Diaper Derby!
All in all, we had a lot of fun. We hope to do it again next year.

Here are some portraits of one-year-old Griffin. This marks his last session on the “Baby’s First Year” plan.

Some souvenirs from his last trip to Disney World.

His family in Hawaii should like this one. Kukui nut lei and everything.

He had this adorable little suit, too.

And one last portrait in the rocking chair.

Be sure to check out his slideshow for more!

Valarie came in for her one-year portraits a little while ago and it’s amazing to see how much she’s grown over the past year.She was walking all around and never in one place for very long.She was happy to play with some toys.
This next one is one of my favorites from the session.
Be sure you don’t miss the slideshow with more images.
