I'll be slowly returning from my little blog-vacation. :)  Here are a few images that I haven't shared yet from a session I had last July.  This cute brother & sister duo came from very, very far away to visit their grandparents and I was lucky enough to photograph them and their cousins (who were also in town for a visit).  It was a really fun afternoon.  Sad that they don't all live closer to my camera.

My first session of the year with some of my favorite clients.  It had been about a year since I had last photographed Vincent and now he has a new baby brother.  Nicholas was nearly a month old and was perfect.  Really perfect.  I couldn't believe how well he slept (I'm usually not so lucky).  And when he was awake he pretty much would just hang out.  There was very little crying and only one feeding.  Plus, when either of those things were happening, I had Vincent to entertain me. :)  Vincent is such a happy little guy.  I look forward to seeing these brothers grow!

What a treat to photograph these three (not to mention a set of twins - you know how I love twins!).  And how cute that they brought their instruments.  Allison plays piano so her instrument couldn't quite fit in the car - so her talent for the day was being cute.  Accomplished.  Oh, and if you can't tell, I think they might be Pittsburgh Steelers fans. ;)

It was so fun to see Addie again for a holiday mini session.  Amazing it has been a year already.  She's awesome to photograph.  Don't get me wrong, I love babies and toddlers, but 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-year-old kids are some of my favorite ages.  Maybe it's just that when kids get past, maybe 4 years, parents aren't thinking as much about yearly photos.  Come on... send them my way. :)
