Babies!

I've been photographing a lot of little ones lately...
and just have to share.

Little chunk #1: Harry Sessoms...the nephew of my buddy Laura Bonds Trillizio (shot her engagement photos this spring before her and Dominic jetted off to Vegas to get hitched!) I love Harry's smile and precious little old man expressions. He seemed to be in deep thought the whole time, until he fell asleep at the end. So funny. This photoshoot was at his grandma's house in Clarksville... she had the best props! I'll definitely be back for more. :) View all of Harry's photoshoot here.

Little chunk #2: Avery Russell. She makes the funniest faces I have ever seen. She's such a happy little girl. I've photographed Avery before, at one month old, and came back for her 4 month photos... She wore the same little cross necklace and blue dress that her mama wore when she was a baby, and a gold bracelet from her grandma. We plan on doing several sessions and create an album for Avery's first year. I'm so excited! View more of 'fat & happy' Avery here.

And a double shoot: My cousins Charlie Balthrop and Adalynn Head. We started with Charlie at the train station (what 2 year old doesnt love trains?)... he jumped around like crazy for the first 20 mins... so excited, he didn't know what to look at first! (but he knew that wasn't going to be a camera. haha) It's always a challenge chasing curious little boys around, but rewarding when you end up with a few great shots. :) The mamas, Brandy and Kelly, had great expectations of cute cuddly cousin photos at my grandmother's old farm. Charlie wouldn't have it. Just days ago he was kissing and hugging all over the new baby, but would have nothing to do with her when a camera was around. We did get a couple shots of him trying to feed the baby, and then a forced 'hold him down' shot at the end. You just never know what you'll end up capturing with kids...but that's the fun of it.
