Well, apparently I haven’t changed a whole lot!  I had so much fun playing with a real life doll, baby *b*, who I had not seen since her newborn session 5 months ago.  Mom came in with a couple bags of clothes, accessories, hats, bows, and baby legs (oh, how I love thee!).  And I had such a good time, picking out clothes and accessories for baby *b*, who was such a little wide-eyed wonder the entire session.

Caution:  if you don’t like looking at images of an adorable baby girl, you should stop reading right away!

Little Miss March:

I could eat this one with a spoon:

We ventured outside the studio for this one and I got lucky finding these leaves (making it look much more fall-like outside than it feels!):

Love this one of baby *b* and her Mommy — it really shows how their eyes are the same shade of beautiful deep blue:

Thanks *B* family, I had a great time playing dress up with your little doll 

Until next time,

Tammy

Don’t believe me?  See for yourself:

Love this one, right down to the little pursed lips 

And even though big sister wasn’t officially there for a session, I just couldn’t resist her blue eyes either 

To their Mom, *A*, your gallery will be up in a couple of days!

Until next time,

Tammy

Of course, all babies are special, but baby *b* is extra special.  His mom and dad waited so long for him and I have to say, I think it was well worth the wait.  Baby *b* is just perfect and was such a delight to photograph, never fussed and stayed asleep for most of the session (even though he was past that “two week old” window).

See, what I mean?  He is just perfect:

This one I love, love, love:

Sweet baby:

And baby makes three:

Congratulations *h* family!

Until next time,

Tammy

See?!  See?!  Totally cute:

I had a great time meeting baby *g* and his parents, they drove in from Marshall for the session.  I think it was worth the trip, I loved what we ended up with.  Gallery coming soon!

Until next time,

Tammy

So perfect… when you see them like this, you realize what an incredible gift they are:

I love this one (Mom brought the hat, major score!):

And this one, I love being able to see all of the features in detail (like her little button nose!)

Thanks Mom *K* and baby girl *k* for making the trip down to see me.  She is just beautiful and I’m so happy to have captured these first few days for you.  Gallery coming in a few days!

Until next time,

Tammy

Since Brent and Vanessa are being featured in a magazine about their recent work with the Super 8 camera/film, they needed some fun shots of them with their equipment.  If you aren’t familiar with what Super 8 is, think about that intro to “The Wonder Years” where Kevin is waving at the camera, laughing… remember that?  That was Super 8 film and it’s making a resurgence in the film making industry.  It’s warm, it’s vintage, it’s cool.  Just what we wanted to portray in the images.  Check out some of my (many!) favorites:

A little James Bond-ish action:

And I love this one — they’ve got the room covered, nothing gets past ‘em 

“Guns” blazing:

Not so serious:

Love this one of Vanessa:

And finally one more of Vanessa, just because I think she looks so stinking pretty in it:

Love me some McKellars — thanks for coming by the studio guys, it was fun!

Until next time,

Tammy

Here’s *K*, in one of my favorite shots from the day…  I think she looks bee-u-tee-ful.  Honestly, I have never seen such a tiny, perfectly round tummy.  It’s like she has a little volleyball tucked away in there instead of a baby girl!

Another favorite, this time with her husband *S*, who was a trooper for the entire session (cue applause, please!):

A few more of *K*…

And finally, we captured a few shots of Mom and her boys.  I had intended to capture more serious shots of the three of them together, but honestly, the boys were funny.  The more I laughed at them, the harder they and *K* would laugh and I ended up loving how “real” these are (if you are a Mom of boys, you can relate!).  Plus, I think *K*’s smile is amazing in these images, she truly looks in her element:

Thanks *H* family for coming to see me!  I can’t wait to hear all the news of baby girls arrival – lots of luck!

Until next time,

Tammy

Love, love, love (did I mention love?) this next one:

So, even though I have a bunch of other favorites from downtown,  I wanted to show off some of the studio stuff too… aren’t they a gorgeous couple?

Next a couple of *T* by herself … I wonder if baby *b* is going to be a redhead like her Mommy?

Another favorite, I love how clean and simple it is:

Thanks to *t* and *b* for coming to Tyler for me to photograph this special time in your lives.  I can’t wait to meet baby girl *b*.  Gallery coming in a few days, hang tight!

Until next time,

Tammy

The sometimes elusive sibling shot (so happy with this one, we even got a kiss!):

So many favorites of *W*, he was great in front of the camera, and I had a hard time picking just a few:

hello handsome!

Next some of cutie-pie *L*.  A little sugar:

a little spice (love it!) :

Finally, the newest addition:

snuggly sweetness:

A note to Mom *A*, I’m just about finished with your gallery, hang tight! 

Until next time,

Tammy

Anyway, I thought I would do something different and let baby *G* just hang out.  Sometimes, we work so hard getting the newborns all curled or placed in a basket (which I love and is always beautiful), that we miss some of who they really are.  Those adorable expressions and funny faces are a glimmer of a real little person, albeit a small, wrinkled one!  So, we just laid him down and I simply shot.

And here you have it, the many (and very cute!) faces of baby *G* :

Next, an image of Dad and baby *G* (I have a very similar shot in color of Dad and big brother on the main site):

*K* is such a good Mommy.  She’s the type who is always perfectly prepared with snacks, toys, wipes, lots of patience and fun activities.  I hope I captured what a warm and loving Mom she truly is:

And of course we photographed the whole family.  There were so many relaxed and fun shots, I had a hard time choosing.  But something about the happiness in this one tugs at my heart:

And since I had gone outside my box earlier, I stepped right back in to do just a few curled “newborn” shots (totally making fun of myself here).  This one was a favorite:

Thanks *G* fam – your gallery is almost ready, I’ll be in touch soon!

Until next time,

Tammy
