I had the great pleasure of capturing the milestone moments in this little guy's first year of life!  As a baby planner, he came in for 4 sessions beginning at just one week old and completing his last session at one year!  So many changes have taken place in a such a short time!  He has come a long way!  I truly appreciate the parents who make the time to have professional photographs taken.  I know what a hassle it can be to get young children to the photographer!  It is so worth it in the end though!  He now has a beautiful leather covered album documenting his growth and changes over this year.  When his family looks at his "1 Short Year" album, I hope they cherish each image.  Baby Plan graduate!!  Please don't wait too long to come back and see me!!  Such a big boy.  What a great year it has been!

These special little girls are my all time favorite subjects!  They just happen to be my granddaughters!!  They live in another state so I do not get to see them as often as I would like.  When I am with them you can bet my camera is close by!  These photos were taken a couple of months ago.  With other work, I am just getting around to editing them.  They are growing so fast!  I think they are taller even since I took these photos!  With no way to slow them down, I get all the photos that I can.  Making memories and trying to preserve childhood with each click of the shutter.

There is nothing like the feeling of a brand new baby in your arms.  It always amazes me how squishy and moldable they are.  This adorable baby girl did amazingly well at her newborn portrait session!  She was a tiny one at just over 5 1/2 pounds.  She gave me several sweet little smiles and she had the cutest back rolls!  Yes, back rolls on a tiny baby are super cute!!  I know it is only a matter of days that she will not be able to mimic the womb poses.  I was so glad her mom and grandma (Cookie...so cute!) decided to bring her to Legacy Portraits.  Congratulations to this new family!  She is one precious baby!  I know you will enjoy looking back on this time when she was so small.

The adorable little one was photographed by me as a newborn.  I can't believe she is 1-year-old already!  In honor of her first birthday, her parents brought her to Legacy Portraits for a fun portrait session.  She was full of smiles, silly faces and just plain fun!  Her first year has gone so fast!  There have been so many changes in such a short time.  I am happy to be able to give her family reminders of this brief period of babyhood.  What a cutie she is!!

This smart and adorable girl has come to Legacy Portraits for 4 years to have her Christmas card photos taken!  There is not bigger compliment than a repeat customer!  I have to admit, she is one of my favorites to photograph.  She has the best personality along with good looks and a dimpled grin.  She just melts me!  I think she thought I was crazy when I told her she would see reindeer in her final photos!  She was a good sport and held the apple out to feed the "reindeer" even though she felt a bit silly.  If you believe...magical things can happen!!
