Sunset Snow

February 1st, 2010

I decided to do a quick backyard shoot of my daughter in her red coat before the snow melts away tomorrow  - I’m so glad I did!  We ended up out there right at sunset. I didn’t even realize it was that late in the day and the light was so pretty.   We have been snowed in for three days and have spent every minute either outside playing in the snow or inside eating and sleeping.  What a wonderful weekend!

Snow!!!

January 31st, 2010

We got lots of snow yesterday (anywhere from 6-9 inches to 20 feet depending on who you ask) and so we have spent the last 2 days playing in the snow!  It has been a WONDERFUL respite being snowed in with my kids and I have enjoyed working on pictures of them.  I have decided that snow days are necessary for the soul.

Josie Kate, 6 months. And “lemons”, part deux…

January 23rd, 2010

I can’t believe how fast little Josie Kate has grown! It really does seem like yesterday when I took her pictures in the hospital after she was born.  What a beautiful girl she is, just like her Mom. One of my favorite things about doing Baby’s First Year packages is that I really get to know the family, and the kids become comfortable with me so much faster every time I visit.

Josie’s mom was worried we wouldn’t get many smiles, but she was proved wrong since pretty much all Josie did was give me huge smiles. It’s hard to cull images down when they are all so good.

Look how much Josie has grown!

When Josie was 3 months old, we took pictures of her lying in a big bowl full of lemons which was on the dining room table.  I like that Josie’s mom lets me do anything, no matter how strange it may seem at the time.  The picture turned out to be SO cute though… here it is, from 3 months ago:

Now Josie and Jacob love to play with the bowl of lemons every day.

But even a day of smiles has to end sometime. Eventually Josie had enough of the paparazzi:

Next time I see this sweet little girl she’ll be trying to walk. Wow.

Baby Jack

January 18th, 2010

Of all the newborns I have photographed, baby Jack was most certainly the sleepiest, and most definitely one of the cutest!  He was just wonderful, and slept almost the entire session, which allowed us to place him anywhere we needed.  It is so hard for me to stop taking pictures when they are this adorable, and I took way too many pictures at this session. 

Jack’s wonderful parents simply adore him, and they are so lucky to have him in their lives.  There is nothing sweeter than a newborn baby.

Flynn

December 23rd, 2009

Last September I was honored to take pictures of Lorne and his mom, who at the time was very very pregnant with baby Flynn (actually I took pictures on her due date).  http://carrieprewitt.com/blog/archives/431

Recently I got to take pictures of little Flynn, now a little over one year old. He will definitely be a heart-breaker someday just like his big brother.  Flynn’s family has moved into a new fabulous home, and I had so much fun visiting.

I have lost all sense of restraint today so I’m just going to post a whole bunch of gorgeous pics of Flynn, so the whole world can see just how cute he is!

Sweet Caitlin

November 25th, 2009

I love doing holiday shoots in the homes of my clients. Especially when the little miss of the house is wearing a beautiful red dress and has her very own Christmas tree in her own pink room.  What a fun evening!  Caitlin was SO sweet.  As soon as we were done she said, “Can I take this dress off now?”

So here are some Christmas pictures to get you in the holiday spirit.

Beautiful Meera

November 21st, 2009

You know, usually I like to write about the children I take pictures of, but I believe in this case I will simply let these gorgeous images speak for themselves. And believe you me, I am having a great deal of difficulty narrowing these down because every single picture of Meera looks like this. My goodness. Her parents are going to have to lock her up in a tower somewhere when she hits the teen years.

Also, I am so thankful that Meera’s mom finally found the heirloom family bracelet which was lost during the shoot.  Piles of autumn leaves and tiny delicate golden bracelets are not a good combination.

Harley Madison

November 10th, 2009

Welcome to the beautiful world of little 4-month-old Harley Madison.  She was so sweet and loving, and was hardly fussy at all (that last outfit change was almost too much for her!)

Harley’s parents are so lucky to have her, and she is most definitely the princess in their lives.  I can’t wait to see her again in a few months, when she’ll be pulling up on the furniture already!

Halloween!!!

November 9th, 2009

I love Halloween.  In fact, I love it so much that I’m actually going to post some pictures of my own kids on the blog even though I normally don’t do that…  But who can resist kids in costumes, most especially if you are a children’s photographer? So here are the kids at our Halloween party and my own son and daughter, all dressed up to go trick-or-treating.

img_6108-edit.jpg

Here are a couple of images from a recent session I did with my own daughter.  I actually did a “real” full-length session with her just like I do with everyone else and it was so much fun!  I had planned to do the same thing with my son but he decided to cut his own hair.  Yes.  So I’m waiting until his hair grows back a little to do his session!

Little Patrick

November 9th, 2009

I had so much fun taking fun of Little Pat, less than two weeks new.  I could not believe how tiny he was!  Just so sweet and small and, well, adorable.  Little Pat was definitely happier all swaddled up (his dad is the household swaddling expert and had it down to a science!).  Then again, I’m happier all bundled up myself so I can hardly blame the sweet baby for fussing when mean Miss Carrie made his mom take every stitch of clothing off of him.  Luckily he adapted quickly and we got some amazing newborn shots.

This session really lent itself to black and white images, so there are a slew of those, although there are some color ones too.

Little Pat has lots of heirloom items from his dad, and I really enjoyed incorporating those into some of the shots.  The rattle Little Pat is holding belonged to his dad. 

Again I must say that I have the best job in the world.  I get to hold newborn babies and be a part of the wonder of childhood, the joy (and stress!) of parenthood, and the exuberant spirit of closeknit family life. 

You’ll see Little Pat again in a few months and I’m sure none of us will believe how big he will have grown.
