Little brother

I was so happy to get the chance to photograph this little guy. What a sweetie, and what a sleeper! I don't think I've ever had a newborn who didn't wake up at some point needing to eat. He was a pro. Maybe it's because he knows I'm gonna be with him for the long haul, big brother and sister are seasoned CVP experts. ;) I mean, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right!?!?














Since I had big brother holding him, I have to throw one in of Big sis too, because she's just one of my favorite little people ever ;)



Hope you enjoy your sneak peek mama, your gallery will be done today!

Beachy

I recently had the absolute joy of working with this awesome family. They were down from St. Louis on family vacation. They chose Anna Maria Island, which happens to be my family's very favorite beach spot, too. If you're from the Tampa area I highly encourage a trip down there. It's super family friendly and I think the beaches are even prettier than those along the coast of St. Pete. {shhhhh}

Anyway, I had a wonderful time that evening with this whole extended family. The kids were troopers and despite the heat they just kept plugging along for over 2 hours. I had a reallllllly hard time narrowing it down to a reasonable number of photos for the blog, since I just love so many of them! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!





I seriously almost took this child home with me.<3

Baby, you're a firework.

I've been so late this year posting my kids birthday session posts. But, you know what they say about the cobbler's kids with no shoes.
My little {big} boy turned 6 last month. Grady. My first baby.My sweet blue eyed dazzler's going to first grade on TUESDAY. I can't even really think about that or I start to get a little teary. He had an awesome 5th year. He did so amazing in kindergarten, and is reading full books to anyone who will listen. He is still my sweet, sensitive little guy. Smart as a whip. He loves to dance {although unfortuately he gets his moves from my husband} and run. This year he learned how to ice skate. He absolutely loves to laugh.





He just got glasses, and without them I can still see traces of the little baby that he emerged from.



But with them, he suddenly LOOKS six to me.







The biggest thing that I want to say about Grady is though, that he is the best big brother. He adores his brother. He will routinely give up something he's playing with when Finn starts to cry. And if he gets the last green lollipop, he will gladly give it to Finn, even though green is his favorite color. He is always on the lookout to protect Finn, and we even have to remind him that he's not the dad. He loves that kid.









And Finn thinks he absolutely hung the moon, and probably the stars and the sun too.



Seeing what a great kid my guy is absolutely leaves me speechless daily. Have a great year, "monk".

Hello baby!

I am sooooooo super excited about this little project that I've had in the works. I feel like everyone is pregnant lately. I can seriously name off more people I know who are expecting than not. Recently, I got to see my brother and his wife who are expecting my very first nephew this winter, and I made this little book for their showers. I am so in love with it that I decided to offer it up to others as well. So here it is....Hello baby!





This book is made to be cherished for years. Anyone who has a young child knows they love to look at pictures of other babies and children, so this gives them not only a lookbook of some of my favorite CVP babies, but it also doubles as a wishbook for mom, dad and baby to share and look at together. Gender neutral colors and favorite quotes about babies pop off the shimmery paper. Take it to showers with a sharpie and guests can sign it, leave wishes and thoughts for the baby and the new parents. It will be an instant heirloom. This is perfect for a shower host, as a gift or even just to buy yourself in anticipation of the new arrival. Two pages are reserved for mom and dad to write a personal letter to baby.





The book shown is an 8x8 softcover book, which is $35. 8x8 hardcover books are $65 and 8x8 hardcover lay flat books are $85. Email me at courtneyvickersphotography@yahoo.com to place your order. Please allow 10 business days for shipping.
