Arian and Arissa are a couple of cute kids. They were here a earlier this week with their parents. We had photographed Arissa a couple years ago so it was time to update the family portraits.

He has a wonderful smile.

I really like how his eyes are lit up here.

And here’s his beautiful sister, Arissa.

Makes you want to pick him up and snuggle.

He was laughing for this one.

We managed to get a couple with them both looking and smiling. I love this one in their PJs.

What a cutie Ava is. She’s now six months old and just starting to sit up on her own. Well, she needs a bit of help with someone watching her closely, but she’s doing really well with it.

Just look at those big eyes.

Tubby time for Ava.

We brought out the tea cup for this one — cute, cute, cute.

She’s getting ready to crawl right here.

We ended up with a few outdoor photos, too. She really likes to stick out her tongue.

Be sure to see her slideshow for more and leave a comment below.

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.

Check out Chase’s 5-month portraits! This first one is a collage of Chase’s “little parts” — these are so nice when they’re all framed up.

I love how surprised he looks.

What a cute smile he has here.

I love closeups of little hands.

And finally outside under the cherry tree.

Be sure to check out his slideshow and leave a comment.

Holden’s six-month portraits are absolutely adorable.

I love his smile in this one.

Of course, every parent needs one of these:

He’s sitting up so well, if a little wobbly.

Did someone say “Vacation?”

Big brother Carson also had some time in front of the camera.

Be sure to check out the slideshow, too, for more images.
