This sweet little girl came for her newborn portraits and was NOT the happiest camper. Fast forward a year later to her birthday session and she’s just the smiliest little girl ever! I can’t wait to show mom all of her images, but for now, just 4 of my favorites!
Avocado ~ Serve fresh, mashed with a touch of garlic salt. If you’re feeling fancy, add finely diced tomatoes.
Peas ~ One cup contains more protein than a tablespoon of peanut butter! Steam or boil until tender and puree. Tastes wonderful with steamed and pureed carrots as well!
Squash ~ Many varieties are perfect for one of baby’s first foods. Roast until tender, puree and voila! Stir in some applesauce and a pinch of cinnamon for a delicious dish.
Peaches and Pears ~ You can use fresh or canned peaches and pears. Simply slice, mash and serve for a yummy treat any time.
Remember – You should always consult your pediatrician about all dietary choices for your baby. Be sure to allow a week after you introduce a new food, before you introduce another. Use clean hands and utensils when preparing baby food, and be sure that foods are at a comfortable temperature before giving them to your baby. Bon’ appetite!
He comes to the studio just to spoil me with his adorable outfits and happy personality!
I just LOVE these two! I have so enjoyed capturing them at different stages of their lives. They are so much fun every time they come see us 
As her mommy said, how quickly the year flew by! I’ve only known this cutie pie for 3 months but she went from crawling to walking and from not really wanting to be at the studio, to putting her arms up for me to pick her up. I love my job, on days like those, and every day <3 Happy, Happy Birthday!!!
Just loving those little cheeks!
Although a tad time consuming, I do love making wedding albums because you get to go back through the entire day over again and you almost feel like you were a part of the family. This wedding was so gorgeous and the couple was very much in love!
Ice Skating
Find an outdoor skating rink and rent some skates. Bundle up and grab a thermos of hot cocoa (with maybe a touch of peppermint schnapps), some mugs and a camera to document your winter wonderland memories.
Stargazing
Find a tranquil outdoor setting and bring an air mattress, hammock or some reclining chairs. For an unforgettable time, mark your calendar for the next big meteor shower and get ready to make some wishes! Bring a nice bottle of wine and ask 20 questions while you gaze. Make your own constellation.
Take a ski day
Hit the slopes with your love, and be sure to spend some time by a nice roaring fire at the end of the day. Make s’mores and then hit the hot tub together.
Scavenger Hunt
Whether it’s throughout your house or throughout the whole city, make a scavenger hunt for your love and help them follow the clues to a picnic or dinner at a nice restaurant.
Row, Row, Row your Boat
Rent a row boat and take a few leisurely spins around a lake. Timeless romance. Sigh…
Go to a Game
Get tickets to a home game and tailgate together. Wear team jerseys and be super fans together.
Play Strip Poker
And let them win a few games!
Get Fresh
Go to an orchard or berry farm and pick some fresh fruit to enjoy together. Bring a nice bottle of champagne (of course) to reward yourselves for your efforts. Find a nice spot to plant a tree together. Go back and carve your names in it on an anniversary or special occasion down the road.
Be Adventurous
Go bungee jumping, skydiving, rock climbing, anything out of your comfort zone. You’ll get a great adrenaline rush and wonderful memories with your loved one.
Dance the Night Away
Take a dance class and then go to a nice dinner afterwards.
Volunteer Together
Find a common interest and donate some time together. Visit a nursing home for a monthly bingo night, help out at a food bank, visit children in the hospital or clean up a trail or park.
Hope this list helps your imagination run wild. Get out there and spend some quality time with the one you love!
I can only say that this little guy came to the studio today just to spoil me He was so good for his very first photo shoot! I hope he sleeps good for his mommy again!
Our main objective was to capture this sweet little guy in daddy’s hat, which we accomplished…… but I think the other shots we got were icing on the cake!
