Introducing Baby Sofia

It was very exciting to meet Sarath & Julie's 2nd daughter, Sofia. She is just so sweet & adorable, and, at 4 weeks old, she was a star throughout the photo session.

A warm-up photo:

Sofia was wide awake for most of the session:

Photo sitting with mom Julie & big sister Amara:

My mother knitted this cute little peapod outfit, and it was exciting to use it in a photo shoot for the first time:

What a cutie:

And... Sleeping Beauty:

Gotta love the pink fur shoes!

A blissful sleep... accompanied by a dreamy smile.

Thanks again, Julie, for coming out for some photos. I'm looking forward to watching these 2 gals of yours growing up!!

The "C" Family

Patricia & Manoel came out to the photo studio last week with their beautiful daughter Alice. We have known this family since we met in "birth and baby" class last summer. Alice is 1 day older than our son Nathan. It was so fun to take photos of this lovely family & their big-blue-eyed daughter!!

I just love watching growing babies grabbing their toes!

Isn't Alice just so adorable??!!

Thanks, Patricia & Manoel & Alice for this fun photo session!!

I Heart Faces: Chocolate Pudding Delight

This week's photo challenge for "i Heart Faces" is Desserts.

I love to cook, and baking is low on the to-do lists! Admittedly, I'm not really a dessert fan, and I don't take photos of desserts.

This past Saturday, we let our 7-month-old son have his first taste-test of a dessert: Chocolate Pudding. Oh, how he loved it... & he made a scrumptious mess! Life's too short not to have fun!

So here's my son after he tackled & enjoyed Chocolate Pudding!! What a treat! Yum!!

I Heart Faces: Fix-It Friday

This is my first entry for iheartfaces "Fix-It Friday" in which we attempt to fix a photo taken by another member on this website. This was fun, playing around with photoshop & trying to "fix" another person's photo.

This photo of Violet is from Jessie at The Lucas Zoo. Isn't she just darling?!!

The Original:

Fix-It #1: I added a vintage action; adjusted vibrance, levels & curves; added a texture, vignette then a frame.

Fix-It #2: This is a less-dramatic fix... brightened, increased colour with actions; dodge/burn; soften skin, add vignette then frame.
