I don't know if it's the cool temperatures, the cloudy skies, the constant drizzle, or the flu mist that invaded my nasal cavity, but today feels a bit droopy. Oh dear sunshine, I do miss you so! Please return pronto so we can all feel prickly and perky again. Cheers! .....Christa

This wilting flower and I are slouching today; awaiting the suns return.



It just looks sad doesn't it?





Don't lose hope. The perky WILL avail! It always does :)



*****Fun prize for the first local yocal who correctly identifies the song I am referring to in the title of this post. Don't forget to leave your guess in the comments section. Good luck!******

I absolutely love me some Baby Fluff! What's the fluff you ask? Those cute adorable rolls that accompany a sweet babe as they grow and blossom. Those precious innocent smiles and glistening eyes that welcome you when they are being held safely in their mommies arms. That infectious toothy laughter and those slobbery yet delightful 'raspberry' sounds which make both babe and parent beam with pride. Baby fluff encompasses all of these things and more.

Enter lovable 6 month old Baby L who is completely filled with Baby Fluff!!!



No enhancement necessary for Mr. Blue Eyes!



Mommy lovin' - ain't nothin' sweeter!



Baby toes are pretty sweet too!



I predict these eyes will make many a teenage girl swoon some day!



Thanks so much to Baby L and his lovely family for letting me capture such precious moments. Your little guy's baby fluff is just so cute! Stay tuned for more fluffy photos :) .....Christa

Introducing sweet Baby M! Just 7 days old she worked the camera fabulously. Both she and her momma were such troopers throughout my visit.

Take a peek at how sweet she is!



She was so tiny and so long at the same time (look at her fingers - future piano player folks!). I just love her little baby parts....





Hooray! We captured her eyes. Isn't she adorable!



Oh this one makes me swoon! Mommy and baby moments are precious.....



Sisters are the best!!!! Baby M's Big Sister has the cutest curls. But, it's Baby M's big debut! I couldn't resist posting just one photo of the two of them. Big Sis absolutely loves her new baby sister so stay tuned for more cute sister photos :)



Thanks so much to Baby M and her family (Grandma included - you were a great assistant!) for such a wonderful opportunity. Wishing you many, many moments filled with joy, laughter and love...... Christa

Ahhhh.... another sweet one! Last week I was so thrilled to capture 5 week old Baby E. He is simply adorable! Here's a little peek of the fun we had together.

I love this chair and I was so happy when I saw Baby E's momma had him dressed all in brown. I think he compliments the chair quite nicely!



I "puffy heart" the little bubbles under his tongue!




This picture has "GO BUCKEYES!" "GO BUCKEYES!" "GO BUCKEYES!" written all over it :)



In the cradle of his mother's arms; I love me some baby fluff!



Oh Sweet Slumber....



The session wouldn't have been complete without Big Sister's love! Thanks Douglas family for letting me meet your newest addition. They're both keepers!

I REALLY want a dog! BUT, I don't have a fenced yard, I already own 2 ornery cats who think they rule the roost, and my kids want a Pug. I want a BIG dog, more like a ginormous dog (a Bernese Mountain Dog to be exact) so I guess I'll have to wait. But until that time comes I am sometimes given the enormous pleasure of photographing other peoples' pets.

Enter the fabulous Nala - don't you just love her name! This gal was filled with spunk the entire time I played with her. Thankfully she has 3 lovely children who are enthralled with her presence in their family. Here's a peek at this fast moving locomotive! Don't let the first photo fool you. She was frequently on the run throughout the shoot as any new pup should be :)





What's that in her mouth? Oh, it's a shoe which seemed almost as big as she was but that sure didn't stop her from playing 'keep away' with it!



Dog on the RUN!!!!



Finally, a moment of down time.


She sure was patient!



You can teach them but can you ever stop them from being pups?


There's just something about a boy and his dog....


Thanks so much C, T & E for sharing Nala with me! I hope you're still having a blast together :)
