{Spring Chicks}

 

A local kindergarden teacher loaned me the cutest little classroom pets I've seen in a long time.  Boy, did the children enjoy this photo shoot.  I imagined both of them to be very reserved around the birds, but they surprised me by eagerly petting them and holding them in the cutest ways.  They were quick to name our new babies.  "Tom" is the dark black chick, "Brownie" is the speckled brown one (go figure!), and the little yellow baby (who was only 2 days old) is called "Pippy".  I think we'll need to celebrate spring every year like this!  Next year, I may have to try baby ducks.  : )

{Daddy's Lullaby}

This session was so much fun!  I really enjoy it when people bring in special items for their photographs; it makes them so much more special.  Daddy's music calmed the baby and I must say I rather enjoyed the music myself!  Maybe I need to have someone play with every session-hee! hee!  I am just mesmerized by those big baby blues--they just pull you into his world, don't they??  So beautiful...

We are finally starting to celebrate spring here in Wisconsin.  The snow has disappeared, giving way to soggy grass, but hey, it's grass and we'll take it.  Shooting indoors in the studio has been quite fun lately with my new colorful backdrops, courtesy of http://www.lemondropstop.com/.  Until we're able to play in the grass, these will simply have to do.  : )

{Rollerskates, Swimmers, and Pirates--Oh My!}

We had so much fun last weekend photographing everyone's favorite things!  The kids came into the studio so excited about their pictures; they eagerly explained all the props they brought along and talked about why these toys were their favorite.  One little girl had so much stuff packed in the bottom of her doll stroller that her mom insisted they clean it out before the picture.  The little girl's concern: "But Mom, all that stuff is for when the babies get hungry!"  So cute!  I'm still editing the shots, but in the meantime, I'll leave you with these...
