Samyah’s mom makes the cutest baby clothes and kids gear. You can find their (My Kids Laundry) stuff at the Holly Springs farmers market every Saturday morning. They also have a website too. The website just doesn’t give you the scope of all that is available! She also does custom orders. We were over there yesterday picking out all kinds of new stuff for Madison including a darling kangaroo dress with a matching shirt for Blake! I can’t wait to get them.

It was mostly baby girl’s first birthday shoot, but we also took some with the boys.

These boys definitely love their sister and she has a special and slightly different bond with each of them.

She has the most adorable big brown eyes, and I love her serious looks. Way cute.

The search for the belly button! Both mom and I love this series of shots, but dad isn’t so keen on the shirtless baby. Ladies check with your hubby before we take such adorable shots and then you are strongly encouraged not to print any of them! Wouldn’t these look perfect in the kids bathroom? We think so too!

Isn’t this serious look just fascinating? She is like, “Lady! What do you have me in a giant pot for?” LOL

This didn’t get posted yesterday. Here is a funky bunch of photographs for a very out there girl, Kailyn. She is all about being goofy, dramatic and imaginative. We never know what she will come up with next. Here mom, Lisa, and I are the kind of friends who knew immediately we would always be good friends. We have many similar experiences in life, and a love for not being like everyone else. One thing I love about her is her voracious appetite for gospel knowledge.

Kailyn is wearing a few of the tutu’s I have available for photo shoots. There are tutu’s for just about any age.

Another successful shoot with a very grumpy girl! She hadn’t had enough of a nap the day of the shoot and ended up really sick when they came to get their photos less then a week later. She was probably trying to fight off the infection on shoot day.

Grandpa is a police lieutenant so we used Guy’s hat with her little police outfit. Every shot in this outfit was so adorable!

The next outfit was her pretty big dress.

Have I ever mentioned how cool we think it is when people cry at our house? Well, it is really neat to see how happy and touched people are by their photo shoots. By the time we got to this shot her grandma was very teary eyed! Love it.

She loved playing with the blocks.

We took her out to the grassy field for a little free roaming.

I laid down on the ground and let her run by me about 5 times to get this gem! This is my favorite shot from the shoot.

Most everyone is loving the tutu’s I made. This is where she really really was melting down, but we managed to get this shot.

Back outside. I loved the light here so just snapped a quick face shot in her mama’s arms.

Too tempting, because I love cry shots. This isn’t crying, of course, but close enough.

Jorndan’s daddy is a fireman. Ah, here is my cry shot.

A new take on the one year cake smash photos. Her mommy brought some cupcakes.

All done. Time to get cleaned up and take that nap. Oh wait! We just gave her a ton of sugar. I was informed she was wired for quite a long time after this.

‘Big eyes’ & ‘Lively’ are my nick names for them.

Little Mr. Big Eyes was the main attraction for this shoot. Before the babies got sick they were around about 6 other babies their same age. All of them look like their toys instead of the same age babies. Mr. Big Eyes is no exception. He really gave me some fun expressions.

A nice traditional shot with traditional clothes on.

This shot just makes me smile.

The day we took these it was so dark and gloomy outside. We were crammed up as close as we could get to the window.

Kids looking down is one thing I include in every shoot.

I love this expression and the words in focus with him out of focus in the background.

The colors and pose are too cute here.

Those hands on the window seal are so darling.

Miss. Lively loves to give her mama a run for her money most of the time. She was very smiley and a lot of fun.

Gorgeous eyes.

I love the little girl look of this shot.

She’s going to be as beautiful as her mom.

Can you see the mischievousness?

We did have a mini meltdown when we first found the right letters for their names and placed them temptingly right in front of them!

There were quite a few cute shots of this pose, but this is one of my favorites.

The letters really were just tooo tempting. But it intentionally makes for great photos!

Watching big sis.
