Holden at 3 Months

Holden was here earlier this week for his three-month portraits and he is such a cutie.He's lifting up his head so high and I love his big grin.
This next image makes me smile.
And, of course, Carson need some by himself, too. He's growing up to have a great sense of humor.

Woody was here for his 3-month portraits the other day. You might remember his newborn portraits as Paul (Woody is his nickname)from a couple months ago. He's growing and is ready for the holidays in his cute sweater.His face is adorable on this next one.
And then an outfit change.
Don't forget to see his slideshow, too.

Isabel and Zak

You may remember Isabel from a couple years ago. She now has a new brother, Zak.Look how much she's grown!
What a cute smile, too.
I love this one. That tongue is great.
And, of course, in the tub.
Isabel didn't quite fit, but she had some tubby-time, too.

Aiden at 4 Months

Aiden was back for his four-month portraits last week and he's really getting bigger.He's really into baseball. Or, at least, his family is.
Mom wanted a Fall theme, so we found some beautiful leaves.
And then the pumpkin costume. How cute is that?
You can see his slideshow (with more images) by clicking on any of the portraits.

Clara

See how cute Clara is. She was here last month for some 3-month portraits and was perfect to photograph.We were even able to do a "Little Parts" session (you'll see the composite at the end of this post). Here's a closeup of her face.
Then she fell asleep. So we took advantage of that and were able to capture some adorable "sleeping baby" portraits.
And here's the composite of her "Little Parts" session.

Griffin at 3 Months

Remember Griffin's newborn portraits? Well, he's now a lot bigger after only a couple of months.
This time we did a "Little Parts" session -- you know, when we do closeups of all his tiny little parts. This next image is one of my favorites from the session.And here is his Little Parts collage all put together.Be sure to see Griffin's slideshow -- there are more images than you see here.

Valarie's 3-Month Portraits

Can you believe that Valarie is already 3 months old? I sure can't. It seems like mom was just here for maternity portraits. She still has a lot of hair -- more than her sister ever did.She's doing a great job at holding up her head.
Of course, Vivian was in a few, too.
This next image is one of my favorites from the "Little Parts" session that we did.
And this is what it looks like all together.

Baby Bonanza Was A Success

If you've followed this blog, you know that the Baby Bonanza was held this past Saturday. As usual, it was a lot of fun and we had a blast. Also, as usual, we were completely beat at 4:00 when it ended. Having a complicated booth, we were the last ones out of there. We had a lot of framed portraits in our double booth. Here's what our booth looked like (with our wonderful helpers):

And from the other side.

We passed out over 200 gift certificates ranging from $10 to $75 and they were pretty evenly distributed. Our "lollipop" game was a hit with both the kids and their parents.

There were some games for the dads. The object was to strap the baby (doll -- not a real baby!) into the stroller:

Then race through traffic cones to the other side, where they had to change the baby's diaper:

This one was a close race:

And then race back to the starting line.

There were also three "diaper derby" races. The lines on the racetrack are just for show. The babies didn't stay in their lanes very well.

Here's one winner:

And here's another. Each winner received a trophy!

Some of the babies got a slow start -- even after the winner had been announced:

Then there was a fashion show:

Even some of the dads walked the "runway" with their model kids and babies.

Another diaper derby later in the day:

The heat is on!

And another race for the dads:

A princess stopped by to give a tea party for whoever was interested. I was bummed that I had to work -- it looked like a lot of fun.

And, finally, some gymnastics on stage.
There were even more events than this.

Thank you to all the folks who came out to see us -- and the other booths, too, I suppose ;-) We'll see you at next year's show.
