Happy Birthday to You!/Manhattan Child Photographer

Every now and then I will have a session where I am yelling, “Oh my gosh!!!” the whole time and I just can’t wait to get home to start editing the pictures.  Tonight was one of those nights.  I’m even missing the finale of my favorite show, the Bachelorette, to work on the pictures.  Don’t judge!  😉  I took pictures of this precious little girl for her upcoming first birthday.  She was so happy and just plain easy!  Her momma ordered the cutest little outfit off of Etsy, the place to shop if you are looking for the cutest stuff on Earth!  And check out the big cupcake that she made!  I love it when parents are so involved and make my job so easy!  Thank you guys.  I really had the best time with you!!  Happy birthday sweet little Emily!

Ummm, Emily?  I think she’s done, folks!

I think I see a sugar high!

The Princess and the Frog/Manhattan Child Photographer

This morning I did 2 year birthday pictures for this sweet little thang!  Her momma is in a playgroup that I started.  I met her through a different playgroup when I first moved to NY and she sent me the absolutely nicest email.  She has been so helpful to me.  I’m lucky to have met her and her beautiful little family!  I see a strong friendship about to start up.  😉  Her daughter was so easy!  All I had to do was bust out my handy dandy little frog and she was laughing and smiling.  Thank you guys for hanging out with me in this awful heat!!  Have a great trip to Phoenix.  NY will miss you while you are gone!  And happy birthday sweet little girl!

Poor thing, it was really hot, as you can see:

Happy 2nd Birthday, Mya!!

So my baby girl is turning 2 tomorrow.  I’m not upset like I was when she turned one.  When she turned one, I cried and cried.  I even cried at her party!  This year, I’m happy that she’s getting older.  I’m ready for the terrible 2’s to be over with.  She’s our little firecracker.  She knows what she wants, when she wants it and she will let you know!  But we love her more than you could ever imagine.  She is beautiful and perfect in every way.  I took these pictures when the bluebonnets were out and she was so happy!  She loves flowers so that made it easier.  If you keep up with my blog, you know that she normally screams bloody murder anytime I get the camera out.  But this time I told her that I was just taking pictures of the flowers.  Meanwhile, Ryder got behind me and acted really goofy to get her to laugh.  It worked!  Thank goodness!  Happy birthday to my cinco de mayo baby!

My favorite one:

Birthday Girl

Here are some more of that sweet little birthday girl from Sunday.  We met up again in the afternoon since she was so sleepy in the morning, hoping that she would be much happier after a nap.  She still only wanted her daddy.  We tried having her daddy go to the other side of the park, but that didn’t work.  I think with a few teeth coming in and family in town, things just had her in a no picture-taking kind of mood.  Poor girl.  🙁  Being a one year old is hard stuff.  We adults just don’t get it!  😉

Every time I take her pictures, she wiggles her feet around.  I love it!!

She looks like a living doll here.  Such a beautiful little girl!

Oh, You Crazy Time Change!

This morning I met up with one of my favorite little clients for her first birthday pictures.  Her mom asked me a long time ago to do birthday pictures for her and we have both been very excited about it.  Her daughter is so much like Mya that we call her mini Mya.  😉  Well this morning, she proved us right.  She is still like my Mya.  Poor thing did not want her pictures taken.  She had her birthday party yesterday and was so wound up that she didn’t go to sleep until midnight and then had to be up an extra hour early because of the time change.  On top of that, she was shivering because it was pretty chilly outside this morning.  After us trying for a while to help her feel better, we finally gave up and decided to just come back this afternoon and try again after a nap.  It’s just not like her to be fussy when I take her pictures.  She’s usually just so peaceful.  So I’m looking forward to meeting up with them again, but in the mean time, here are a few that I got this morning.  Isn’t she just so beautiful?!

This one made my eyes fill up with tears because I’m just a big ole sap!!  I just couldn’t stop thinking about these two dancing the father daughter dance later down the road at her wedding and it made my heart just ache because right now, she’s such a daddy’s girl.  She just wanted him, nobody else, to hold her and it was just precious!  And here come the tears again!  Ugh, so embarrassing sometimes!
