Keaton – A girl and her dog…and her lollipop.

Last weekend, I got to hang out with Keaton and her dog Ruby. We started the session at Keaton’s house and then headed over to Maryville College. I always have fun photographing children, you never know what you are going to get … smiles or tears…or both, within just a few seconds of each other. I got all of it, including some blue lollipop drool. Enjoy! You can see Keaton’s previous sessions here, here and here. 

I played with some texture on a couple of these;)

Hmm, got any snacks for me in there?

After the snacks were gone, we headed over to the play set for a few shots.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Keaton has quite a collection of crying pictures, so we had to add one more to the collection.

Out for the count!

Blakely, Skylar, & Zack

Last Sunday morning I got to hang out with 3 very fun kids – Blakely, Skylar, & Zack. We headed over to the park about 9:30am to hang out, play and get some pictures but it was freezing outside! The kids still did a great job! All three of them are absolutely adorable and have very fun and different personalities! We eventually ended up back at their house to work on puzzles, jump on theirs beds and play dress up! Here are a few of my favorites from the day… I took me a long time to narrow down my favorites… there were so many.  Thank you for spending your morning with me Leigh, Joe, Blakely, Skylar and Zack!!

Zack was not happy…so we decided to work with his frown. haha.

I had to sneak in a cute one of mom and dad :)

We played 30 faces of Blakey and she really had 30 different faces. This one is my favorite:)

We also did 30 different faces of Skylar. She had 30 different poses but almost the same face in each:) haha.

SUPER HEROES!!!

I had everyone show me how old they are on their hands.

I had to help Zack a little:)

Stephanie, Mark & Brandon

Saturday afternoon I got to hang out with yet another fun family while I was in Atlanta! What is it about Atlanta and fun families;)  I headed over to Mark & Stephanie’s house at 4pm and I got to stay until Brandon’s bedtime:) Brandon has one of the most expressive faces that I have seen on a baby…he really had me laughing a few times with his big smile! I am sure by the end of this post you too will have a big smile on your face. Stephanie, Mark & Brandon thank you for welcoming me into your home and spending your evening with me!

Brandon got so excited when he saw this brush. It was hilarious.

After playing outside we headed back to the house for some naked baby shots. The next picture may be my favorite from this shoot. I love the faces Brandon makes!

Give me that camera lady!

I love this. Mom and dad took turns reading his book to him:)

Masha, Harry & Katie

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of meeting and shooting a fantastic new family! I headed over to their house early Saturday morning to grab a few family shots and then Masha, Katie and I headed to the park to wear Miss Katie out for her afternoon nap:) We had a great time playing on the swings, the slide and we even got a little sandbox time in! Masha, Harry & Katie thank you so much for spending your morning with me, it was so nice to meet all of you!!

I brought along one of Reece’s maracas to get Katie’s attention; it quickly became her new favorite toy.

Katie has such a sweet little face:)

Heading back to the car. Time to go home.

Addison

This past weekend Reece and I headed to Atlanta to take pictures of Addison. Addison was born just 3 weeks before Reece and this is the first time I have seen her! She is absolutely adorable:) As soon as we got to her house she came over and snuggled up to Reece to give him a kiss. Very cute! Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the weekend, enjoy!!

 

This cat stalked us almost the entire time we were shooting. He had the bluest eyes and they were crossed!! Very strange! At least he was friendly.

Addison was such a great model. She was completely exhausted by the time we were done…she missed her afternoon nap…sorry mom!

While passing through Dalton, GA Reece and I saw a bunch of these old cars drive past…so I grabbed my camera and took this shot. I know, I know there is an Applebee’s and a Wendy’s in the background. LOL

 My travelling buddy. He did a great job. He slept the entire way down and most of the way back:) This picture is a little noisy but still cute;)

Super kids…

My friend Julie gave each of my children their own initialed superhero capes for their birthdays. How cute are they!! She ordered them from www.etsy.com if anyone is interested in ordering one for their own child. Yesterday we decided to put them on and have some fun out in the cul de sac…after it stopped raining.

I know you may be asking yourselves, ”So Jessi, what super powers do your kids have? ” Well let me just tell you!

 C’s super powers involve chatting.

He can blast his enemies into oblivion using his crazy verbal skills. 30 minutes and 1 story later, his enemies will be begging for mercy…or ear plugs.

 J’s super powers involve joke telling.

Just a few minutes with this girl and the bad guys will be laughing uncontrollably on the floor. That is when she strikes! Knocking them out with the flying elbow or headbutt! 

R’s super power is reeking havoc on the bad guy’s ear drums. He let’s out a screech so loud and ear piercing it has been known to crack glass (ok not really but I am waiting for this to happen sometime soon!).

Joce has not been very cooperative lately for pictures but she was really feeling the cape…that is why she has more pics. than the boys. Sometimes you have to strike while the iron is hot!!

Ross & Mary Lyn

Tuesday night I met with Ross and Mary Lyn for their 4 and 1 year photos. These 2 are too cute, as you will see from the pictures below. Ross was definitely over it by the time we were wrapping things up; he kept telling me, “pictures take a loooong time”…which is exactly what my son always tells me. LOL They both did such a great job. Thank you Jill for allowing me to take pictures of your beautiful children!
