I photographed Jordan last year for his 1 year pics, and yesterday I photographed him for his 2 year pics. I can't believe it's been a year! He's grown so much, is a little chatter box, and has the most adorable little curls (last year he was BALD!).  I think the best part of the shoot was when I asked him a question and his reply was "NO WAY!". It was hilarious.  Anyway, i'll let his adorable face speak for itself........

Penny and her parents were adorable and easy to photograph. They looked so natural and comfortable in front of the camera, so it was great to catch those happy and candid moments.  Penelope was pretty serious most of the shoot, but we did manage to crack some smiles out of her :) 

Jason was definitely one of the tallest asian men i've met (sorry Jason, had to say it ;) hehehe).......

Sam and Nikki are two of the most shy kiddos i've ever met. I realized after I left the shoot, that although they did share a few giggles with me, answered everything I asked (with head nods or smiles), neither of them said a word to me! LOL. Yes, they talk....they are just really, really shy and quiet. Both of these adorable girls were SO well behaved though. They did anything we asked, were so cute holding hands pretty much the whole time, and were up for anything.   Oh and seriously, what is going on with this weather?  Now it's SUMMER weather all of the sudden? Come on weather gods....we need SPRING first ;) 

Noah actually wasn't due until next week, but he arrived 3 weeks early.....and weighed in at 8 lbs 8 oz!!  He was in the NICU for a week, but came home on Friday and is doing great. I was a little afraid that he may not fit in the little cocoon wraps and other props I have....but he lost a little weight after birth (like all newborns do) and fit in everything just fine. Perfect in fact.......   

During feeding/changing breaks, I hung out with their cat "Friday"........

She cracked me up because she totally stood up and looked out the window like a person........

Back to Mr. Handsome........

I've missed my vintage/antique feel photos, so I decided to try some again.......

It's no secret that I LOVE photographing babies that are between 6-12 months old.  Sometime around this age, they are sitting up on their own, smile at pretty much anything, don't have stranger anxiety just yet, are still chubby wubby and in general are just happy and adorable!!

Well here's a little guy who proves why I love this age so much!

Nikko is high up on the "cutest babies ever" chart. I looooove him. 

"Whatchu talkin' bout Willis?"......

With daddy and mommy.......

Grandma and grandpa came along for the shoot as well! They absolutely ADORE Nikko and i'm not sure what I love more about this pic.....the fact that he looks so content and in awe of their kisses......or his chubby little Fred Flintstone feet and toes are all squeezed together :) 

Oh and last but not least, I couldn't leave out their super cute dog Chibi!
