Where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday you were a happy-go-lucky, chunky baby learning to sit, crawl, walk and talk.

Today you are my Dennis the Menace. A mop-haired, freckle-faced mischief-maker on the go. You are stubborn, strong-willed and independent to your core. Your favorite phrases are, “Don’t help Mommy, I got it,” and “No mommy, I can do it MYSELF!” I hear those two things about 3,846 times a day.

Yet you also have a heart of gold. You’re the first kid to share a toy or comfort another child. You love animals and babies. You may fight with your brother, but I can tell that you adore him by the way you mimic everything he says and everything he does. And it melts my heart to hear you say, “Dylan, you are my best friend.”

You are a lover a stuffed animals, books and puzzles, yet you are also every inch a rough and tumble little boy. A big fan of wrestling with your brother (you hold your own despite the age difference!) and of running around chasing anything that moves.

Your smile lights up my heart. You are my imp and my baby. We haven’t done your three year pictures yet (Huh? What? What’s that you say about the cobbler’s children?) so for now the image below will have to do.

Happy third birthday my wonderful, crazy, and sweet Logan-boy!

Samantha just keeps getting bigger and cuter every time I see her! I just love those pretty blue eyes and that sweet smile!

And the baby feet! I just love little baby feet.

 If you follow this blog, you may have already seen this little beauty last week here. Kalia was adorable, sweet, content and oh so easy to photograhph - from that poof of dark hair to those round pinchable cheeks. Congrats J+L, you’re daughter is precious!

Sweet little Avery is so fair, with wispy white-blond hair so light you can barely see it. Yet she has the longest eyelashes! She was feeling a bit serious at the beginning of our session, but I love how you can see those those looong lashes framing her beautiful blue eyes in the first shot. (Just wairt ’til she’s old enough for mascara!) And not to worry…she warmed up once we got a little further into the session.

Just a reminder that the May Madness Promotion will end in just over a week from now – on May 31. If you’re having a baby (or babies!) in 2011 NOW is the time book your Just Born newborn session! You can see more details on the promotion HERE or email me at amy@amydrouetphotography.com to get all of the details.

Don’t miss your opportunity for fabulous images (like the one below) and special discounts!

This is not Kalia’s official sneak peek. That will come in a few days. But I got to meet this adorable little girl this morning and I just couldn’t wait to post this image. Kalia’s mom told me that she would be sooo happy if we could get a shot of Kalia smiling. Apparently Kalia is a master of that age-old baby trick of  looking serious the moment the camera comes out! But patience, persistence and a silly little baby rattle finally paid off…  

J+L – I hope you love it! (And I even got a few more smiley ones too!)

I currently seem to be having difficulty reaching some email addresses, especially cox.net email addresses, from my work email. If you emailed me and are awaiting a response or are expecting an email from me and haven’t received it, please email me again at amy@amydrouetphotography.com and I will respond from an alternate email address until the situation is fixed. Thanks!

Dakota was a last-minute addition to my calendar. When his mommy emailed me on a Monday evening to inquire about newborn photos he was already two weeks old, but we were able to get him booked quickly – and I’m so glad we did! He was beyond cute and slept like a doll for most of his session.

While I certainly advocate booking your newborn sessions in advance to ensure availability, never hesitate to contact me with a last-minute newborn request. I make every effort to accomodate newborn sessions if I can. They stay this little for such a short time!

And don’t forget about the May Madness promotion for Just Born sessions booked this month! Check it out HERE.

And because every mom (and grandmom) loves a cute awake shot…

 Yikes. Another baby planner “graduating”?? I can’t believe it, but my buddy Cole has hit the one year mark too. Where does the time go?

There’s more than one way to play on the coffee table…
