I am so happy to share this sneak peek today. On Tuesday little J, his bigger brother and his mommy came to visit the studio. It was his birthday so apart from taking some regular photos we also had a cake smash, so fun! I’ve seen him grow up, this was his third photoshoot already! He is bigger but its amazing how much he still looks like that very first time I saw him.
His slideshow is a special one, specifically for the cakesmash. Blog readers, follow this link: J’s cakesmash slideshow
Here is some photo’s for your sneak peek. Hello gorgeous boy.

A black and white conversion, think there is a tiny bit of chocolate in there. when I see this pic I’m thinking: Rocker boy saying ‘what’s up!’

The boys together, laughing at mommy and her fabulous songs.

A cute one of big brother

And lastly how the day ended, yumm!

Little miss L is already 7 months, wow, can’t believe how fast it has gone. To see her newborn session click here.
With her newborn session she wasnt so happy, this time however she made up for it. So sparkly, so friendly. She loved it when mommy sang to her and tried her darndest to sing as well. So cute. She honestly needed a huge cuteness alert when I was going through the photos, whenever my girls would came close to the computer they just stood there and stare. Bianca’s review: “that baby looks awesome Mommy!”
Here is your slideshow – blog readers follow this link: Christmas time is almost here - if you are this adorable at 7 months imagine 2 years, you are going to turn your Mommy and Daddy around your little finger little girl.
And here is some of the sneak peek. Isn’t these christmas pictures just the most adorable!


Just because Santa is close doesn’t mean we must forget the Easter Bunny:)


and Mini Mouse came out to play too.

This couple have some wonderful friends that’s for sure. They received a session as a gift to celebrate their gorgeous little baby boy. And what a little mister charming he is! He was dressed in the most adorable little outfit that completely fit with being a mister charming!
The sneak peek is a bit small for now, hope you enjoy.
Towards the end of the session he gave in and slept for a little (untill the crazy lady tried putting him on his stomach and the adults started laughing. But even when he was woekn up he still didnt object he just calmly looked around and sleepily wondered what was going on. So super sweet. This one I had to show first even if it was taken towards the end of the session.

Awake he was fine with being on his stomach. So strong for only being a month!

Mr cutie in a basket!

11 months old. I can’t believe it, I saw her last when she was a newborn. How is it possible that time could fly by so fast? She had a fabulous newborn session, see here
Babies 8 months to 16 months maybe even older are all about exploring, they can move, and are starting to discover the world around them. Since they are so precious and their movement new I like to keep the backgrounds plain, and with this session it worked amazingly again. She is so precious and nothing more is necessary. She is starting to stand and walk even and to catch a time or so that she did stand for us were really special. Crwaling pictures are a little tougher because of movement but we manager to capture that as well.
Although she is for the most part a serious baby she broke out in quirky laughs several times, too cute for words!
Here she is, a little serious in this one, adorable and the most beautiful blue eyes.

A black and white of a quirky laugh

Teddy Bear forgotten, I am on the move!

Another black and white, she is perfect in every way.

Earlier the year I got to meet little Miss M. She was a curious princess and she had the prettiest purple flower head band. See here
On Friday I met her again, 4 months had gone by from the previous session. She has grown so much, so friendly and lovely and a very good sitter! She came dressed in tutus, so precious! When I saw a purple flower again I knew what the title of this post is going to be.
Here is two of the little princess, first one in colour. Friendly little girl, I adore the little hand gestures she made.

And one in chocolate black and white convertion.

Thanks again for visiting.

.Today’s sneak peek is a bit different from usual, I show in effect far more than usual as I decided to add some storyboards. I also know that her parents love sharing photos so I am sure they won’t mind. (however if you do want any removed D and S, just let me know).
Little Miss M was “talking” up a storm. I would ask her to tell me all about it and she would ooh and aah. I am sure she told me all about the dog, a cat and the car that drove past. I love meeting babies again that I had the fortune to meet just after they were born. She was a natural during her newborn session, see it again here
Here is the little princess, this one was a little bit serious, she is adorable:

This is a comparison of her at, I believe about 9 days and again at 7 months, in the same hat:) Can you see the difference?

While I was changing up the studio a bit, she got a little meal and I couldn’t resist taking photos of how her feet curled up in pleasure.

And then I noticed how she was holding mommie’s hand, so of course I had to take some more pictures.

Little Miss M is a fun and friendly little baby girl and this storyboard proofs it.

The family all together.

Apparently one of her favorite passtimes is standing, even before she can sit for ages. Here she is with Daddy.

And lastly I just had to add this one. I think someone said something about 3 children and well it gave me an idea. If you guys had three together, might it have looked like this?

.Today’s session was so easy! Mom and baby arrived fresh and playful just after a morning nap. Perfect for a 9 month session. Mom knew we didnt have too long before T would becoem tired so we did not bother with tons of clothing changes. In stead we used the maximum time to play with her, from flower petals to bells. We got some stunning photos as a result and it turned into a short and very sweet session. Again I am going to struggle to choose which ones to edit as I will be so spoiled for choice.
You may remember littl Miss T from her 8 weeks shoot here I just realised the title for that one was spoiled for choice, I do believe Miss T is a natural little model:)
A close – up in colour.

Black and white conversion. Miss T is about to crawl..

Side ways – this how it looks when I get ready to crawl. She crawled to mommy.

Tummy time, the cute way!

I met this little boy a while ago during another photoshoot. I loved his little laugh then so was looking forward to seeing him again. He turned one today. Happy birthday! Only a very short sneak just for the birthday and one snap of the birthday cake and the candle. Enjoy, see you again at the end of the month.
Isn’t he just the cutest?

Of course you know me by now, I love close ups.

Pure love between Daddy and baby boy. I loved the interaction.

And then blowing out the candles. After the session part I took some snapshots where the party was being held. May I just say the cakes and cupcakes at the party looked to die for! It made me feel guilty for not doing anything for Erika’s birthday tomorrow!

I promised another gorgeous sneak peek and here I am to deliver. This little man was sweet as could be. We waited a tiny bit longer as usual for the newborn shoot so mommy could recover a little so he was already in a routine. It meant he was sleeping quite well during our shoot (I got there during his afternoon nap). He was too big for most of the props I would usually use so I just took a whole suitcase of stuff with me and decided I’d play to see what worked.
He was such a super model. He loved the beanbag, he loved his little head stroked. Oh my goodness have I ever mentioned how much I love my job? Okay okay, I have, I know, but I’m sorry it’s just so much fun to cuddle such teeny tiny babies! Here is your sneak peek. There just were so many I wanted to share, so many that made me go “awww!” so I had to share all of these.
Of course I can’t resist a baby on a black background. I’d be lost without my black velvet:) He is snugling in a red spider web cacooon I got from a fellow photog, sassy design.

The whole family. Look at that little pout, this was just before he decided he needed a little bit of milk.

Last one for the sneak peek is this sweet and really intimate family portrait.

I loved how healthy and strong my little guest of today’s shoot was. At one time when we tried placing him on his stomach he just made his legs straight and took some weight on his legs, so strong. He was quite relaxed and in a good mood for the first part of the session then got hungry and were not afraid to show it:) What I adored about him, even if it made it slightly difficult to photograph was that he was in his own magic world. Just not interested in looking at me or even his parents.In a few I caught his attention though:)
As so often with this age baby, he did not want to be out of Mommy or Daddy’s arms he wanted to be upright looking around. Therefore even though Mom and Dad did not plan on being in any of the pictures they jumped in with both feet. Such a blessing really as we got some gorgeous ones with Mom and Boy, Dad and Boy and the whole family too.
First the close up, meet little Mr O

Then one on mommy’s shoulder. Hello world, hmmm I wonder what is down there… Black and white conversion

Let me lounge around in the basket, ‘kay? Look how cute he is curling his little foot.

This is such a gorgeous one of Mommy and Baby.

Lounging on black velvet..

And lastly for the sneak peek is this lovely family portrait. This is a chocolate black and white conversion.

Yesterday I was lucky enough to meet a lovely sweetest little baby girl and her parents. Thank you so much for the privilege to take pictures of your family and little girl. I think she needs a little prize since she is our first baby from a local family on the blog. I prepared several sneak peek photos and this one is the one chosen by her parents as the one I may show. Isn’t she just totally adorable? The purple flower totally suits her.

This morning was Mr O’s turn to bring a little blue to the studio. This is take 1 because next week I get a chance to take some more when Daddy can join for some family shots. For months I had no boys to photograph and all of a sudden I am spoiled by all the blue! He has such gorgeous brown eyes, the camera loves him. All serious in the beginning and then he became very excited by the bubbles.
Here he is playing with his little lion. The first one is how he “posed” for us a couple times. I know you can’t see any of his face, yet I adore that one.

I love the strong colours of the red and blue on the white in this one.

The following two were also when he was still serious, but look at the attitude. Adorable. The first looks like he wants to tell us quite sternly to pay attention and the second looks like he is putting down his foot (or finger).

When Mommy took out the bubble he was really excited. If he could lift off he would have:) Here is two bubble pictures of pure joy.

What fun to have two gorgeous little boys (and their parents of course) in the studio. I absolutely loved the dances and songs their parents resorted to. So much fun in one family. I am sure there is always tons of giggles in their family. I didn’t know all the songs but I did know a little of “Hot dog, Hot dog, Hot diggidy dog!”
Here are a few photos. Enjoy.
As a start one of them together on a bean bag.

The big brother was so gallant and even said hello Madam with a handshake when they got here. Such a gentleman.

Little brother have such a strong personality and boy oh boy when he smiles he could turn anyone around his little finger.

Together in a basket

Let’s round out the sneak peek with one each of the boys again. Little brother -

Little J is one of my baby steps clients and I love seeing him grow. He has grown so much the last 3 months. He is 6 months now. So friendly and he loves his mommy’s singing. I must say I do too, she has a beautiful singing voice!
I couldn’t decide what looked the best for this one as I adored the black and white, but in the end the colour won:

The next one’s colour is good too but the subtle tones of the black and white really does it for me. When I started my journey in photography I never even considered black and white and now more and more I see so much in it, I sometimes prefer it to the colour. For the longest time my desktop background was a black and white of one of my daughters.
This picture is super special because he was just being there on his tummy, chugging along, kind of okay maybe not necessarily smiling, not paying attention to us that’s for sure. And then his Mommy started singing. And not the usual off key boring “twinkle twinkle little star” that I would do. No, some really impressive, really wonderful melody. I almost lay down the camera to first listen. In an instant he looked up and gave this “smile” such a big smile its almost hysterical, such a classic shot. I love it.
Last one for the short sneak peek, another cute tummy shot

O my goodness. I can’t remember when last I said so many ooh, awws about an 8 month old perfect little cutie. She was so super cute, so calm and friendly and the camera just absolutely loved her. Loved the session. It was short and sweet as we just got so many very quickly.
Proper baby pictures, for your pleasure. first is a chocolate black and white. As everyone I love these.

Hi there little darling! Look how friendly!

How cute is she in this little outfit. I love the hat!

Honestly isn’t she just perfect?
