Shooting Star Photography

Sweet Sally is growing up before my eyes!

I was there for her birth, newborn photos, 3 month shots, and now, she’s already 1/2  a year old! Where does the time go?

Is this not the most gorgeous baby girl??? I love her eyes and sweet smile!

Sally really wanted into the candy!  Happy Halloween! What a cute little bee

First of all, I must apologize for the blogging hiatus! We moved into our new house, unpacked, had a birthday party and housewarming party, and as a result, my blog has been sorely neglected.

I’m also working on some exciting new things/changes for Shooting Star Photography, so add all that up, and my blogging time has been very limited. More to come on the new stuff soon!

Ok, enough with the excuses, on to a preview of one of my favorite sessions EVER! I had so much fun with this 2 yr old brother and his 7 month old sister. I cannot even tell you in words  - so I’ll let the images speak for themselves.

Is he jumping or flying?

And a B&W for good measure that melts my heart!

Hope you have a great birthday party today, G!

Sweet baby Ella and her 2 year old big brother, Ty, were SO precious today. Ty is so interested and sweet to his little sister…

It has seemed to me like most 2 year olds with new baby siblings are rarely interested in having any pictures with the newest member of the family, but I have lots of sweet moments captured between Ty and Ella today.

Here’s my favorite-

I love that the fabric on the bed is the same fabric used in Ella’s nursery!

Here are a few more favorites from today-

Here are more from last week’s session with this adorable brother and sister!

I have to keep this post short and sweet because the moving truck is coming at 8 a.m. in the morning, but since I may be a few days without internet access, and I’ve been packing like a mad woman today, I at least wanted to put a few pictures up from my shoots in Atlanta this past weekend!

First up is the Webb Family. I shot them about this same time last year and it’s amazing to see how much Nathan (almost 4) and Jessie (2) have grown in the past year!

Last time, Jessie was barely walking, but this year she gave me a good workout I had so much fun during their session and am going to have a heck of a time narrowing these down!

Next up was Owen, who is almost 2! I photographed Owen the weekend before I moved last year, and I shot him the weekend before I moved this year. Hmm…. what a coincidence :). Owen was in my daughter’s daycare class back in Atlanta, and I was amazed to see how tall he is now! I adore his red hair and his awesome parents!

You might now!  Baby Reese, 7 days old…

love how her hands almost make a heart here…

…she doesn’t really like to cooperate for my camera very often!  But I still think she looked adorable in this outfit and tiara :). I will have this available for use for girls ages 2-3 if anyone is interested in having their daughter photographed in it!

I have never seen a newborn as strong as Reese.  She literally held her head up, inched/crawled, turned her her head multiple times, and tried to roll over at least 3 times - and she’s only 7 days old today!!

See what I mean?

But when she wasn’t acting like a 2-3 month old, she was such a gorgeous and perfect little newborn…

Little Miss Briley is one year old today! She’s such a pretty girl and has the most wonderful family. Happy 1st Birthday Briley!

Beautiful red-head, Katherine Linden, who will be known as Linden (such an awesome name, huh?), was such an easy newborn to photograph. I don’t know what it is about second children, but they just kind of ease into the world and don’t make much of a fuss when they are hanging out. Of course Linden did have a little drama - she came home from the hospital just hours before our shoot. She had somehow gotten a virus that caused a fever which the doctors were concerned about.

By the time I met her, she was as good as new and as perfect as can be!

I love flakey-skinned newborns. Nothing says, “I’ve been waiting to meet you for 9 months by sitting in water” like this
