January 2006

Happy NEW YEAR everyone! WOW January has been a real whirlwind! As most of you know, the first week of this month we moved the studio to a new location. As mentioned in your newsletter, the new location will offer more flexibility for the studio hours and you won't have to deal with the traffic of Central Avenue! It's been a busy month getting settled in and starting the new year. Feel free to stop by and see the new location any time you're in the neighborhood. For those that don't know, the studio is now located at 918 A Airport Road in Hot Springs.

I'm going to share images from 2 sessions this month, first are 2 brothers, they were so much fun to work with! Their mother is an absolute jewel and having worked with other members of this family before, I was thrilled to have these boys come in! I could see that these two really love each other, (Big Brother) was so patient as we allowed (little brother) to crawl all over him, never complaining, we got some fun shots, some serious ones and some hilarious ones too! They're such basketball buffs, we even played with the ball!

This is Canon, and he's been coming to see me his whole life, one big year! Happy Birthday Canon, this session if you can believe it, Canon wasn't feeling well, you can't tell it by his pictures can you? He'd been sick and as you can see, he was still full of laughter and happiness. He also got to play in his cake and got good and messy, just what Mommy and Grandma wanted. Ah this is why I love my job so much! Canon is just one of many I have seen as a tiny baby, turn into a toddler, and before we know it, he'll be trotting off to school with the rest of them!

Meet Steele and Hallie, both recently turned 1 year old, they are such little sweeties and are regulars here at the studio. No they aren't twins, their mom's are good friends and wanted their picture made together with their Christmas jammies. We had a wonderful time and got a lot of really good images, but this one I was particularly fond of, to me it shows them in a quiet moment, sharing a toy, completely oblivious to my camera, while both mommies, who at this time were performing their own little performance to keep the babies entertained. They resorted to doing what they do best, play! With such a busy December, I had a lot to choose from, and I've chosen this one because of the simplicity of this capture and to me it's a very sweet moment. It was also a favorite of the mommies!

This is Cayden and at 18 months old, doesn't he have the most beautiful eyes! I've chosen this session to share with you all because I think he's particularly beautiful. Cayden and his parents were such a joy to work with and did such a great job I have to share him with you all. While going through this months images, little Cayden just kept coming to mind. He is one of many displayed at the studio that greet me each morning when I come to work.
