I realized that I didn’t announce the results from out blog contest here but did on our Facebook page. You can “like” our page to keep up with the news + tidbits that often don’t get posted on the blog. The cute little guy you see above on canvas won a 16 x 20 canvas + $300 gift certificate for his parents. The 2nd place went to no. 8 and third to no. 10. Thanks to all those that voted for their favorite image and commented on the blog/facebook. Also, the Target gift card was won by Lindsay Vandemotter for commenting on our Facebook page!

The most important thing you leave behind is the stuff that turns into treasures when children find it.
~Storypeople

I adore this Storypeople quote. It made me think of sweet memories we created for baby C’s family and how they will cherish them forever. When baby C grows up to be a beautiful young lady she will likely not remember her cute chubb days. But I hope that these pictures will be her treasures to have and hold on to.

We had a wonderful session with baby C’s family at their home in Noe Valley in San Francisco. Mommy had ordered some cute clothes I recommended from the Gap, Baby Legs and not to forget Anthropologie for herself. Seven months. Such a wonderful age. It is my favorite age to photograph little people when they are able to sit up. And also when they can’t get away from me too easily (though she was just starting to crawl and is likely a different baby today). Enjoy your sneak peek!

In the many faces on baby C, do you have a favorite? Post your favorite in the comments section using the numbering system below. I will share which one mine is too once the voting is over. Top Row with two pics- Use no. 1 for left and no. 2 for right. In the middle row with three pics- use no. 3 for left, no. 4 for middle and no. 5 for right. For a total of 25+ comments (don’t have to be for one image), I will make a complimentary 5 x 7 print for the family. So vote away!!!

Check out the teeny skinny jeans on baby C. I wonder if they will be still a fad when she grows up?

Little C came to me at seven days old with the most perfect lips and sweet little face. He went through a bit of a rough patch and had to be hospitalized for neo-natal jaundice. But the little trooper is doing much better now. Thanks so much Cleon and Gracie for making the trek out to me. Hope you like your sneak peek!

This has been a crazy week and a juggling act of sorts in trying to stay on top! I have been dying to proof these photos of my favorite little client. This is my third time taking pictures of this cutie and she is all of ten months old. It is such a treat to watch them grow and change over the course of the year. Is she adorable? Here is a sneak peek for mom. I will add a few more later but I thought I’d at least share this one for the time being.
