Peighton Isabella Hope-Five Months Old!

You might remember Peighton from her newborn photos back in August. She has grown into a beautiful little baby! She just turned five months old this month. This baby is HAPPY! With babies, I take a ton of photos and hope to get some cute smiling ones in between other expressions, but not this baby. She grinned the whole time! It was hard to pick out, but here's a few of my favorites from Friday's session:

Peighton's mom, Jenn, had this beautiful red tutu. Seriously, have you ever seen anything so sweet? We were laughing because it was ridiculously cute!

One of Jenn's friends made this hat for Peighton; it was so adorable on her! Peighton kept sticking out her tongue at us when she had it on!

Peighton loved to play with her dress while we were shooting. Here's a couple of her hiding behind the fabric, so cute!

Mom and daughter, in between costume changes! I love little moments like this!

This little girl has a beautiful smile, and it was infectious! I found myself laughing right along with her!

What beautiful eyes you have Peighton! Thanks for the great afternoon!

Chloe and Sophie

I'll admit it, I have a huge soft spot in my heart for these two girls. Meet Chloe and Sophie , two of the cutiest little people I've ever met. Last week I was at the DWF Convention and instead of staying at the overpriced resort, I opted to stay with my great friends, Angela and Jon. Jon started Law School this fall so the family moved down to Phoenix. I do miss them! Here's a few of my favorites! I miss you guys so much!

I saw this pose at the USAImaging show and couldn't resist trying it out on Chloe!

Chloe looked so cute in this tutu!

This photo cracks me up! I asked Sophie if she wanted to have her photo taken, and she nodded yes, then ran straight for the umbrella to hold it above her head. Since I'm training her to be an official Southern Belle, I suppose she had every right to want her parasol with her in the photo!

Sophie has about twenty (no kidding!) princess outfits! Here's one of the many!

Every night, the family sings Christmas carols before they go to bed! I thought that was hilarious!

Chloe has beautiful big, blue eyes!

And finally, a sweet moment between father and daughter! What I wouldn't give to have a photo like this from when I was a little baby.

One Pampered Puppy

Since I've put this photo on my splash page as a link to my blog, I've gotten a lot of comments about it. "Who is that cute dog??" So, why not...I entered the photo in a photo contest at Pampered Puppy and am happy to report that she won 9th place (out of over 200+ entries!). I suppose this makes it better that she's chewed up almost ALL of my shoes! Interesting enough, she's never touched the shoes that take her hiking everyday! Hmmm...maybe she's smarter than I think! I originally bought this tutu for a little girl's photo shoot, but it didn't fit her. But, it ended up fitting Molly perfectly! Poor puppy...:)
