We did his cake smash session a few weeks ago, but mom wanted to do another session outdoors! His mom knew of a little courtyard right next door to her office, so we went there and also a park in Davenport. He isn't quite standing on his own yet, but that doesn't stop him from getting around=)
My kids were playing on our bed this afternoon and I thought I'd get my camera out. I've realized recently that I don't take enough pictures of my own kids as much as I used to. Of course once the camera came out they weren't playing so cute anymore, but I did manage to get a few cute ones. 
I photograped baby "H" this morning. As a mother, this was one of my favorite ages...when your child has their first smiles and you can start to see their personality emerging. As a photographer though, it is probably one of the toughest age groups to photograph since they can't sit on their own, yet you can't curl them up into any position and have the sleep the entire session like you would a newborn. His smiles were just so precious!! And you can tell how much he loves his mother already. The moment she moved out of eye sight you could just in his eyes that he looked sad...but as soon as he saw her again his entire face lit up!
I do have a few spots still available for my August "Jordan" special. If you think you need/want a weekend, those are going the fastest, so give me a call or email me ASAP at kristin@kristingeertsphotography.com to book a session. This really is a HUGE deal you are getting. I don't think I've offered anything this big before! If you know of anyone that might be interested send them my way!
I hope everyone will enjoy this awesome weather that is heading our way...have a great weekend!

I photographed 8 day old "H" this morning. He did SO well. The only time he cried was a the very end of the session and by that time I think everyone was ready to be done! You don't realize how tiring it can be sitting and waiting for a baby to fall asleep=) Being around such a perfect baby is really giving me baby fever(shh...don't tell my husband)! Enjoy your preview!
"D" is having his 1st birthday in a couple of weeks. I photographed this little guy when he was 1 second old...I really can't believe he is just about a year old already! He wasn't to sure of what to think of the cake. It almost seemed like he knew that he wasn't supposed to be messy! He didn't really want to dig into it like some babies. He was very polite and just took little tiny bites...I LOVE doing cake smash sessions!! It's fun to see how different each baby will react to their first bite of pure sugar=) Hopefully the weather will hold out over the next couple of days and we'll be able to get an outdoor session in.

I photographed this little guy over the weekend. He wanted NOTHING to do with the camera. He would be smiling, and the second he saw the camera his smile would disapear. I didn't think I was that scary=) I still managed to get a few good ones of him though. Maybe we can try some studio shots later in the month.
