Another sweet baby planner has turned one!! I can’t believe how much he has changed since I saw him for his 6 month session…such a little man, totally on the go, bright blue eyes, and this incredible smile!  Love!  He and his big sister totally had me running and working today…I love those type of sessions…the ones where mom and dad ask at the end, “I sure hope you got something.”  And then I get to write sneak peeks like this…and say, “You better believe it…”

Happy birthday Mister R!!

big sister, Miss M

he fell down while running…it was one of the few seconds he stopped, and I got this…ADORE!

I got a call a while ago from an aunt who wanted surprise her sister and brother in law with pictures of their daughter (her niece) for the holidays.  I thought it was so sweet, and of course, agreed to do the session.  We had our session this morning, and little Miss K could not have been cuter…seriously, can you believe those blue eyes?!?!

If you know this little one or her parents…SHHH…we don’t want them to know before Christmas!  Thanks Aunt A and Grandma (special thanks to Grandpa, too…I hear he had a rough night!)!!

I love sessions where the clients are up for anything, totally understand my wacky ways, and let me do whatever I want!! Sunrise on the deck of a parking garage…kisses and whispers in the middle of downtown…giggles and some heavy leaning in an alley…using an old adandoned warehouse for some funk…you get the idea!  Plus, Kelly got up this morning to have her hair and makeup professionally done before the shoot…this girl meant business, and these two totally rocked it!

Meet Kelly and Robert.  In January I’ll be capturing their wedding, but today I had the pleasure of documenting their love…so, stinkin’ cute together!  Thanks for the laughs…I hope the cake tasting was yummy!! Can’t wait to see you all again soon!

sunrise…

isn’t the light devine?

seriously, so pretty!! Kelly’s makeup artist did a fabulous job!!

this forehead to forehead shot has become an MZP e-session signature…love it!

the alley – the light was great, and for my photog friends this was shot at 1.6 *swoon*

love the details…how they hold eachother’s hands when they think I’m only taking pictures of their faces.

and finally, a shot of their shoes…such an important accessory and these two nailed it!

Hope you love them…talk soon!

Sweet baby Jack didn’t want to miss a moment of the action – sleeping meant he might miss out!  Thank goodness his mom and dad were extra sweet too – taking time to help me get him all calmed down between poses.  At ten days old, he is my birthday buddy…we were born on the same day!!

Isn’t he just the cutest little guy?!?

This morning I had the chance to meet the cutest 6 month old boy, who came all the way from Houston to see his extended family!  Mom contacted me a while back about doing a family session for them while they were in town, because some of their other family had recently had pictures done with me…how could I possibly turn down those big brown eyes and sweet ringlets?!?!

I also got some great help today from this little man’s grandparents…thank you!  Grandpa is a photographer – and it was awesome to talk shop with him!  Thanks for doing all the crazy faces and dances behind me…it meant I didn’t have to!

Enjoy your party this weekend…I am sure the family is going to be head over heels for sweet L!
