7 months {Bettendorf Photographer}

Miss E came to see me the other day for her 7 month pictures.  She is such a gorgeous baby!  She wasn't quite sitting on her own yet so mom had to stay very close to catch her when she started to lean.  She loved playing peek-a-boo but when she got excited had a hard time sitting up :)

OMG...What a sweetie! {Photographer in Bettendorf}

How can you not smile when you see this little face.   Get used to seeing her smiling face around here because she will be a part of my Baby's 1st year plan!  She isn't even 3 months yet and I've already photographed her 3 times...4 if you include her birth:)  Her family is absolutely in love with her and want to capture every stage of her life...how can you blame them!

Mr. Smiley {Bettendorf Baby Photographer}

This little guy came by yesterday.  He was just starting to crawl so there wasn't to much chasing going on!  He was happy the entire time and has the cutest smiles:)

Mr. W {Quad Cities Photographer}

How adorable it this little guy!  He did such a great job for his mini session.  Last minute I though I'd try the cowboy hat knowing it would probably be way to big.  I'm SO glad I did!!!

1st birthday {Photographer in Bettendorf}

I have had just a ton of first birthday babies over the past month...and I know I have a couple of more this month too!

This cutie is a coworker of my husbands.  She just started walking within the last couple of weeks and is super fast already.  Mom got her workout in chasing after her :)

What to wear {Quad Cities Photographer}

The latest installment of What to Wear!

What to wear {Quad Cities Photographer}

The question most asked is by far, "What should we wear "?  Once a month I will post on my blog and my FB a sample of what to wear.  You can see that everyone isn't wearing the same thing, but is coordinating. You don't have to be afraid of print and pattern, but you don't want it to be overwhelming either.  And don't forget to coordinate shoes too :)

6 days old {Newborn Pictures Quad Cities}

This baby girl is from the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area.  I've worked with her mom when I was living in the area and I am lucky enough to have them want me to continue to want to work me with even though I'm 1.5 hours away.  Since I usually go to the new moms instead of them coming to me for the newborns I made the trek to their house!  It took a bit to get her to go to sleep but one she did she was very easy to work with. Mom desperately wanted a picture of all 3 kiddos together but the middle one (2 years old) did not want anything to do with pictures:(  Turns out he was a pretty sick little guy.  No wonder he didn't want to smile!

9 days old {Newborn Pictures Quad Cities}

This guy was quite the little stinker!  I was there a little over 2 hours and he slept MABYE 15 minutes total.  I always tell moms that I expect the newborn sessions to go 2-3 hours.  They always apologize over and over again that they are so sorry when they can't get the baby to go to sleep.....there is nothing to be sorry about!  I expect these sessions to be long and if you happen to have a super good sleeper, great!  Once you get them to sleep we can be done in 30-40 minutes.  It's the trying to get them asleep and then staying asleep that is the hard part.  I think I got some great pics in the 15 minutes he was asleep :)

1st birthday {Photographer in Bettendorf}

When her mom said she was going to bring 4 outfits for her I thought, "Yeah right, we'll be lucky if we get to 2 of them".  OMG...this little girl did SO good.  Not a single tear, she didn't try to run away, and did GREAT with her cake smash! Around 9 or so months babies start being afraid of strangers...some just take a bit to warm up and some never do at all.  This one didn't need any help warming up :)
