The happiest baby. Pretty much ever.

Who remembers sweet little Avery?
 
Well, she's 6 months old now, and she's still smiling! She has to go down in history as one of the happiest babies I have ever met.



She was up for every costume change and headband swap we threw her way. Such. a. doll.


Even when she wasn't smiling (which only amouted to a total of about 34 seconds) she pulled out the adorable. Look at those lashes~!

Bring me your babies!

I can't believe that the last time I posted on the bloggity was back in September! What an amazing holiday season I had, and I want to shout out a huge thanks to all my new and returning clients for being awesome. So, in case you don't follow me personally on my facebook page or haven't had a session in a while, the Vickers family has some big news! We are happy to announce that our third little boy will be joining the ranks in June! Now, I am always gaga over newborns, but being pregnant myself makes me a little insane. Ohhhhhhhh the mushy goodness.




I mean, what's not to love about THAT? And spring is baby season! Now, I am going to be working on a slightly adjusted schedule starting in around May. My sweet almost 5 year old boy was about 4 weeks early, and although we have NO indication that we will have an early little one again, I am trying to plan accordingly. So in order to make sure that all this sweet newborn goodness makes it into my sechedule, I am offering a special for newborn sessions only. Book and pay for your newborn session now(before Feb 28), for anytime through May 12, 2013 and you get to choose ONE of the following options! 1. $100 off your session and disk combo, which takes the price for a session and a disk of all edited images (usually around 25) down to $350. 2. A free mini maternity session in February, March or April. I will have one date per month, in some fabulous locations to highlight that baby bump. 3. An upgrade on your session+disk package ($450). Buy it, and I'll upgrade you to the session+disk+canvas option for free! That means you get serving of 16x20 gallery wrapped canvas deliciousness, a $200 upgrade, for nada, nil, zip! So email me today at courtneyvickersphotography@yahoo.com for more info or to go ahead and get your baby on the books! Come on, you know you want some of this....

Zach {cuteness} attack.

I've been catching up with some babies on my baby plan lately, and I just loooooove these 6-10 month sessions. There is pretty much nothing better than a baby in the second half of his or her first year. They are sweet, cuddly, not afraid of anything and adorable! Who could ask for more?
Sweet Zach was no exception. He kept me on my toes with his speed crawl, and we had a blast together with his mom and dad.

This is my favorite! Sweet baby kisses.

Mia {Delicious]

Mmmmm. I just love a chunky little baby. Maybe because I had 2 of them! This little sweetie was pretty serious for the duration of her session, but that didn't stop the cuteness! I can't believe how much she's grown since her newborn session 6 months ago!




Aren't they such a gorgeous family?



Peek-a-boo!

Max {magic}

I know this mom has approximately 67,584 friends waiting to see a sneak peek of sweet baby Max. And with cuteness like this I am happy to oblige. Oh.My.Soul.
Let me preface by saying that I am kind of in love with Max's big sister Kaiya. She is cute as a button, and has the spunkiest, sassiest little personality. And did I say cute?


So knowing that I had that to work with, and that her brother was going to be just as yummy, I was reeeeaaaallllly excited about this session. In fact, I kind of forced my hand on it because mom was really nervous about how he would be. She claimed that all Max wanted to do was eat and she was concerned that he would not be the sweet, sleepy newborn I was looking for. Well, he made mom a liar. Sorry Marcy. When this was literally the 4th fame I snapped, I knew we were in for some good times.

And it kind of just went pretty well from there on out. I'm not saying that he didn't fuss. All newborns do. But as my friend Lauren and her hubby Brad like to say "this a'int my first time at the rodeo". Babies don't scare me. ;)

In fact, I feel like I should share this out-take so you can see that he DID cry. Actually, I love this picture. He's screaming and the rest of them are just tickled pink. That's life with a newborn for ya!

These things are fun, and fun is good.

There are so many, many things I love about what I do. One of them, and I have said this before, is getting to spend time with families in their homes. I love getting a feel for their dynamic. I love seeing the things that they do like my family, and the things they do differently. I love letting kids show me their rooms. It's so funny the things that get them excited "Look at this! This is the tissue I used to kill a spider!!!" I love that they'll tell me their secrets "Hey, did you know my sister always sleeps in my bed with me? My mommy doesn't know!" ( I will wager a bet that mom does know) ;)
Anyway, I had a great time with this family. They have 2 gorgeous girls, one who is about the same age as my Grady, and one adorable little baby who warmed my heart.

Oh, my soul. This one. Please frame this one.

I couldn't decide which of these to sneak peek, so I did both.

Adorable Ava

I have had sooo many sweet baby girls to work with lately. I'm trying to get them all up on the blog because they are oh.so.adorable. I'm a little bit of a sucker for baby girls. Maybe because we have 2 boys, or maybe it's just all the pink and the hairbows! Little Ava did not disappoint and neither did her mama. I always bring headbands and bows with me, but Ava's mom had a whole arsenal ready and I barely had to even glance at my stuff. ;)

This one is my FAVORITE. Her eyes slay me. And the lips!

This family has had several sessions over the past few years, and my buddy Jack was pretty excited to show me his baby.

I want to steal this bed.
