Six Days New....

I love babies, I love babies, I love babies.....did I say that I love babies! Little Khloe was only 6 days new when I had the opportunity to photograph her and her beautiful family. Not only did I get to finally meet mom, dad and her two older brothers but I also had the chance to meet grandma, grandpa and Aunt! Kim (Khloe's mother) was truly amazing and looked absolutely fabulous. Khloe slept almost the entire 4 hours I spent with her (unbelievable and a record breaker in my books!). I am so thrilled that I get to watch this family grow and especially see Khloe several times during her first year. Thank you to Kim and her entire family! She is an angel =)

Pure Sweetness!

It always amazes me when one minute I am taking maternity pictures and the next minute the mom is calling to tell me the baby is born and ready for pictures! Time flies so fast doesn't it? Thank goodness our wonderful technology allows us to capture all these moments before we turn around and our kids are off to college. Baby Audrey was pure sweetness as you can see and as all babies do, made me think more about having another. I always marvel at new parents like Aaran and Alicia who seem to be so cool, calm and collected with their first born (a natural mom for sure). I don't remember have it together like that =)  Thank you so much Aaran and Alicia.....it won't be long before I will be taking her 6 month pictures! -Shelby

A Family Holiday...

What a great time to take pictures when the ENTIRE family is home for the holidays. It was especially fun to photograph the Wren family since they were my neighbors growing up in Melbourne. In fact, I actually babysat their children a few times (that makes me feel very old right now). Anyway, thank you so much to Lynne and the whole family for spending an afternoon with me over the holiday break. I truly enjoyed working with you all and a special thanks as well to the Spira's for loaning us their beautiful river home. Happy New Year to you all!

A Merry Christmas!

OK, so I am a little late with this but better late than never, right? I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! This was the first year that our family celebrated the holiday at our house. We spent the few days before the holiday in Melbourne with my family and then back to our house Christmas Eve....just in time to make cookies for Santa and sprinkle our reindeer food on the front lawn (a treat for all the neighborhood squirrels). I truly enjoyed being in our home when the kids woke up. I am pretty sure this will be the new tradition! I thought I would share a few pictures below. In a few days or so I might get around to my New Year blog =)
