Wyatt is growing up!

Melissa and Chad brought out Wyatt for his Birthday Club session. We’ve known this little guy since he was a newborn. No one will ever be able to fill Melissa’s shoes as our studio coordinator and we miss seeing Wyatt.

We have an invasion of frogs in the Rutland area. Wyatt was the happiest chasing frogs, holding frogs and talking to frogs. He picked them up and set them down. Frogs are cool.

Here is Wyatt’s Birthday Club magnet. Can you guess how old he is?

The joy of being one year old!

Happiness can be measured in many ways, but when you are just turning one year old, there is joy in running. Running to Mom makes us happy. Running away from Mom as she tries to tickle makes us giggle.

Birthday Club magnets – Abbey and Audrey

Here are a couple of birthday magnets from earlier this summer. Both girls have always been a joy to work with. They love to smile, especially after they get to play with the toys. All kids seem to know instinctively where the toys are.

Aliya at 2 years old

05-14-10 aliyamag

Aliya is a beautiful baby girl, but she really isn’t a baby any more.

Most 2 yr olds can get their parents to understand them through pointing and single word commands like “juice”.

Aliya uses complete sentences. She says “please” and “thank you”. Aliya is a thoughtful soul full of smiles. Spend enough time with Aliya and you forget that most 2 year olds are into everything and anything all the time followed by parents just trying to keep up.

The top image is Aliya’s Birthday Club magnet. The bottom two images are her 4×10 panels.

Karstyn’s Birthday Cake Surprise!

04-28-10 Karstyn Cake

How can you resist cake on your first birthday! We were in luck. Karstyn came in for her birthday session and ElizaBeth had an extra cake just waiting for her. Mmm, good frosting! Then, when Karstyn was done she just didn’t know which way to go, but, oops, into the cake. Those cute little gellie shoes worked perfectly for sticking to all that frosting. Luckily, Mom came to the rescue.

Don’t worry, Karstyn, every year we get a little older, we feel like stomping a few cakes, too.

Karstyn’s Baby Plan Panel

04-27-10 karstynpanel

We love those babies. Karstyn is growing up way too fast. Here is her Baby Plan Panel. It’s a framed 16×20 and it comes with the purchase of the Baby Plan. Our Baby Plan includes newborn, 3, 6 9 and 12 month sessions. You can buy as many pictures as you want.

We love working with little kids: you never know what you are going to get. Sometimes you get models that love to be in front of the camera. Sometimes you get the shy ones who want to attached themselves to Mom’s leg and never let go. We also get our share of wild ones that barely sit still long enough to get a picture. We love them all. We are a kid friendly place. We have lots of toys and all the kids no where the snack bucket is.

The whole family has been a little under the weather since sunday, but things are looking up. The coughs, sniffles, aches and pains are slowly going away. Everyone is back at school and the studio…Life is almost normal – whatever normal is this time of year.
