Teeny tiny Frankie grew up to have a smile ready for his parents and now has an even bigger ever-ready grin! I could not believe how much Frankie has grown between 3 months and now! His parents are so crazy about him, it’s very very adorable. And to be fair, he’s really hard to resist!

and his mom brought in this blanket that Frankie LOVES! I have never seen a baby so excited about an item. He was attempting to shove the whole thing in his mouth. His very talented great grandmother made this blanket for him. Love it!

I can’t wait to see you, Frankie (and your parents too!) for your 9 month pictures! I’m excited to see how you change and grow over the next three months – and how you don’t!

The adorable Morgan with her big eyes made the trek up to Vermont to see her mama’s family for the holidays and was so very kind to take some time out to come and do her 9 month pictures, inviting her parents to join the photo shoot this time. I’m so glad she did!

I should confess- her parents, particularly her mom, who claim to be not so photogenic… well, they were having such a good time that I couldn’t resist capturing some family action. In fact, there are way fewer Morgan proofs than family proofs. Morgan is moving and grooving and very into hanging out with her parents (unless an older kid is around to distract…) so why not include the family love?

… and some family fun too!

Love having the ongoing excuse to get together with you Morgan. Next time I see you you’ll be a year!! Hard to believe.

It has been an incredible year.
Thank you all for contributing to the fun, the creativity, and the success of this year for Brown Eyed Photography.
I’m excited about next year and everything that is planned from seniors to weddings to babies and everything in between.
But right now I’m just sitting in wonder at all that happened this year.

And as an end-of-year tribute to the friends and faces of Brown Eyed Photography, here’s a slideshow we put together highlighting all the great people I was able to work with in 2009. What a beautiful bunch they are!

Thanks again everyone, and see you in 2010!

I met up with the fabulous Beth, Scott, and Carter at their house before driving over to a local park. Their yard was in full color making it easy to get some fun family captures and the park with its pond, trails, and a gazebo… fun!

This lucky puppy has been part of this family for two years now.

In case you think Carter is a serious kid…

I loved spending time with this lovely family! The fall foliage doesn’t last long and it’s always a pleasure to have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

I’ve heard of double trouble.
So maybe when you add one more to the mix it’s triple trouble?
Really, these three – yes three!! – babies were anything but trouble.
At 6 months they already have such individual personalities and it.is.adorable!

The two “bookends”- those are two different babies. And then they have a non identical brother who there very sweet mom, Karen, tends to put in the middle for pictures. Helps keep straight who is who.
Another trick is to put ankle bracelets on the boys, see Nathan’s on his ankle? The other two boys lost their ankle bracelets somewhere along the way before I arrived with camera in hand.

They are working on rolling and sitting and maybe even moving that could be considered crawling. Busy busy days ahead for these babies and their parents!

I loved meeting Karen, her mother-in-law, and her three perfect babies!

Sabina, who was one of my all-time favorite newborns agreed to photo session round two now that she’s matured to a smiley 3 month old who can sit with the safety net of a boppy. The girl has two brothers to catch up with!

This time she suggested we include her brothers… when we could catch them;) Sabina’s older brother is fairly easily charmed by his sister’s attention:

Isaac is not so easily swayed- but his cherubic face is adorable even if it is deep in concentration:

I loved having a chance to see you again, Sabina. Keep doing all that growing and I’ll see you again soon!

Remember Alexis?
She’s doing all sorts of big girl things now- like walking (!!!) and for this session she was kind enough to invite the whole family along.

No, I mean the WHOLE family!

And I’m so glad she did!

Just the cousins…. and Alexis too, of course.

They were a fun group to hang out with…. here’s the bonus to show what silliness can arise when you put this group together in front of the camera:

It was hard not to laugh at their antics but I didn’t want to give away the silliness that was going on behind the people posing.

Jenn, thanks so much for organizing your family to come to this fall-tastic park to capture everyone… but mostly Alexis, right?

She’s back!
Her eyes are just as big, she’s just as easy going, and she’s sitting!
Morgan made the big drive to Rhode Island for her six month session and I can’t decide if it was more fun hanging with her or her parents. Good thing they are a packaged deal.

But really, this is a one-man-show as far as Morgan is concerned- and that one man is her dad. She is very adept at keeping him on her radar- as you can see here- he’s off to my left.

Can’t wait to see you Dani, Brian, and Morgan for a nine-month session around the holidays!

Pascal has an amazing mom. It’s true. She’s a fun person to hang out with and she’s an amazing mom and she’s the heart, mind, and soul behind Love Bugs, the only second hand children’s store in Providence.
I was thrilled to have an excuse to hang out with Jamie and her smiley, cuddly, gentle son, Pascal.

I loved spending time with you, Jamie and Pascal!

For those wondering: there are sessions available. They’re filling up and I wanted to remind you to contact me to book soon to ensure a spot!
