The Sweet Life

Baby planners are graduating left and right, and with that last session comes either the announcement of “We’ll be seeing you again soon…we’re pregnant!” or “We need to get pregnant so we can see you again soon!”.

Gabriella falls under the former, and her little brother or sister will be here in just a few months. I was lucky enough to photograph her Mommy’s belly pictures back before we knew Gabriella was going to be a Gabriella. Then her newborn, six months, nine months, and now her year old photos have passed us by. Where does the time go?

We had a ball at the park today, and Miss Gabriella was (as always) adorable and perfectly coordinated, right down to her diaper covers and her bows!

These eyelashes *kill* me!

I wish I could take credit for getting her to laugh like this…

but the credit goes to her Daddy, who is quite the cartwheeling dervish! (I had to turn and snap this when he wasn’t looking-LOL)

Her brown eyes are just stunning. I’m going to miss her (*sniffle*).

This is one family that won’t be back for round 2…they are now in Corpus Christi. If you know of anyone in that area with a similar style of photography-please let me know! I want to make sure this gorgeous, fun family ends up in good hands.

or what comes after the stress of preparation, the fun and laughter during the actual session, the agonizing wait to see your images, and the heartburn of deciding what to actually order.

Hopper’s mommy (see the little man on the blog header above?) went all out, with metallic prints, Sugar framing, and gallery wrapped fine art canvases. She picked up her framed prints and canvases on Friday, and for the rest of the day emails trickled in with snaps of the finished product as she worked around Hop’s nap schedule and found the time to hang everything. I love having the chance to see just how amazing everything looks in their home.

Sweet Hopper models the 20×24 in the living room. This is a metallic print, with a 1″ rag mat and a 3″ white Roma frame:

In the playroom-a fun capture of his chalkboard hangs over his “art center” (gallery wrapped fine art canvas)-this is an odd size at 10×15, but we can do almost anything with our amazing vendors.

These are both 20×24 metallic prints with a 1″ mat and a 3″ white Roma frame (one of the select frame manufacturers that we work with and *love*). I have this same frame in dark brown hanging in two of the rooms of my house. It’s also stunning in white, as you can see.

In the playroom-a 15×30 gallery wrapped fine art canvas:

In the living room (I think? or den?)-a 16×20 metallic print with a 3″ mat and the coolest silver Roma frame.

More canvases…We are working on a display of 5 15×30 gallery wrapped fine art canvases for their kitchen. Two are up, and we have another session planned for this Fall and will add a few more after that occurs. Baby #2 is due this spring (Congratulations again!) and we’ll add even more then!
