Introducing Corbin

Today, I spent the morning with Gretchen, Derek, and their two delightful children, Peyton and Corbin. Corbin is a new addition to their family-- He's just one month old. Here are a few of my favorite images from the shoot:

Sleeping so peacefully....I think the "Too Cute" on the blanket says it all...

Alex at 3 months

You may remember Alex from my very first blog post. It's so much fun for me to work with this family again. In the past two months, Baby Alex has done some growing and, according to his parents, quite a bit of fussing, too! :) One thing that hasn't changed in the past couple months is Alex's cuteness. He's a sweet baby boy and I was happy to be able to catch a few smiles.


I really think that by the time Alex can crawl, he's going to be crawling very quickly away from me when I have my camera. Last time I put him in a bowl, this time, a basket! He only humored me for so long before his patience ran out...

But after a bottle, he was all grins again...


This one cracks me up- I love his expression!


Mommy makes him smile...

Daddy makes him smile, too. When Alex started crying during the shoot, I was amazed at how quickly he stopped when his dad started playing for him...Here, he gets a little piano lesson...


Decky is Alex's fantastic pug friend. And I think I made friends with him today, too. He certainly was happy to obilge when I asked him to strike a pose. (Ok, I confess, I had to tell him I had a treat to get him to look at me)


After an exhausting photo shoot, Alex finally got some rest!

These are a few of my favorite things...

Here are a few things I can't seem to get enough of lately:


1. Lemon Creme and Orange Creme Hershey Kisses. A friend of mine gave me some of these and I spent a good week trying to hunt for some more. If you like lemon cookies and orange Dreamsicles, I'm telling you, you have to try these. The only place I have found them is at Target. If you find another store that carries these, please let me know. I'm afraid it they will only be around for Easter, so I will need to stockpile them in the same way I hoard the white chocolate candy cane kisses that come out around Christmas-time.

2. Meiko. Listen here. I've been listening to this non-stop while I edit pictures and can't seem to get her songs out of my head.

3. Make Me A Supermodel on Bravo- Project Runway's less-celebrated cousin and America's Next Top Model's more mature older sister. For someone who secretly longs to be a high fashion photographer and wants everyone who gets in front of my camera to fearlessly flaunt their fierceness, this show is inspiring. And fun.

Sebastian

Sebastian turned 2 in January and since then his mom and I have been patiently waiting for a day with decent weather so that we could head outside to document Sebastian in all of his cuteness. At every hint of a good day in the forecast, we would email each other, crossing our fingers that the weather people weren't going to get it wrong. And so last Sunday came along and it was a rare, albeit brief, sneak peek to Springtime in Indiana. It was a beautiful day and I had so much fun taking pictures of Sebastian.
