Tiny little sports fan

Aiden is the happiest little guy - and his parents and I are working on creating a very unique Baby's First Year plan collection.  His parents have brought in a sports theme for each of his sessions so far. 
How cute will that be?  A different team and sport each time!  This is the latest one - the Atlanta Braves.  I am enjoying this so much - not to mention that Aiden is such a sweet baby.

Kids and Pets

We are testing the waters for our Kids and Pets QuickTake that we will be having soon.  Adding the furry family member makes for a lively session!  Here are just a couple of our Little Models (yes, we did have an older brother participate!!)  I chose these two examples to show "small" and the "large" furry family members.
I will post our QuickTake dates soon for this.

Sleepy little newborn

 This little man is so perfect - he let me pose him anyway I wanted.  Who says you can't have fun with a sleeping newborn?
I call this one "Baseball Dreams"

Black and white really brings out his little features.













Sleep well, little man!
