Baby Nate, moodybaby sessions

Welcome to the world Nathan Thomas Buckley! It was so nice to meet you. 🙂

Pete and Angie welcomed this little man into the family on December 20th, just in time to be home for Christmas! I got to have a little visit when he was a day old in the hospital still.

After the new year we did his newborn shoot. He looks so much like his big brother Ben did!

Proud Daddy.

Kaden’s Holiday Photos

My last shoot for the year and couldn’t have gone out with a cuter little guy!!! Kaden has gotten so big since I last saw him.

Must eat so you have energy for pictures!I don’t think there is a cuter Santa Baby.
We found a reindeer too!
All tuckered out!

Angie’s Belly….take 2.

Angie is due with number two! We got together for her second belly shoot a few weeks ago. (I’m still waiting on the film….but thought this would be fun to post before the baby anyway.) Angie is due on or near Christmas! Pretty awesome gift. 🙂 Want to go down memory lane? Here is the first belly shoot!

So let me explain….. 🙂 Ben’s newest thing is getting into the pet food cabinet. He takes out all the food containers and then climbs in. A little shuffling and some giggles later he emerges from the box. I just love the little hands closing himself in.

Sammy, well just because.

A little walk outside on a nice fall day.
Slow down!

I love the knowing exchange of looks here…..
Taking tabs for naps!Film belly pics will arrive soon, but here is a slideshow in the mean time.

Baby Laila, Philadelphia moodybaby sessions

One of my most adored families. 🙂 I’ve grown close to these guys, Emily and I had an instant connection when she was engaged and looking for a photographer for her wedding and we’ve had so much fun since then! Last time I saw this little munchkin Laila she was just newborn. I had the privilege of documenting her entrance into this world. Emily had a home birth back in May. It was my second home birth and it was totally different than the first one but equally amazing. 🙂

Laila is now six months and delicious.

The mustache onesie to be like daddy.
You guys are adorable as ever.
Laila’s favorite this is the swing.
hehe. 🙂
We are creating quite the athletic family tradition.
Ups before baby
Ups with baby!Love you guys!!

Zayd & baby sister Sienna Rose, Philadelphia Moodbaby Sessions

I adore this family. I’ve watched them grow over the years and it’s simply been amazing. They are so thoughtful and always so much fun. We had a slight theme to this years family portraits…such stylish family.

Zayd is such a bright little boy. I’m always amazed how well he listens and carries on conversations. He has taken on the role of big brother very well. He loves to try to get Sienna Rose to laugh.
Zayd can be quite the little model but he is still all kid…
This might be one of my favorites.
There are always special treats!

Getting a little tired.
Of course every year we take pictures with Howard and Barbara, pretty much family at this point.

You guys are so sweet, wonderful spending time with you as always! Thank you for a lovely morning!Don’t forget to watch the slideshow!

Charlie and Connor, Moodybaby Sessions

Little Charlotte, or Charlie as she is known, has grown so much since last year!!!! Her little personality most certainly shines through as well. 🙂  This year we have the addition of her little brother Connor, he was just a little bean in moms tummy for our shoot last year! We had such a fun time on this shoot.

Charlie warming up…….

Leaf angels!!
smooches from dad!
Oh my, you guys have your hand full with this little character.
how can you ever say no to this face!!!
Connor is certainly a mama’s boy. 🙂
a favorite family shot. haha!
awe!!
This girl is on the move!!
I couldn’t choose between the next two so you get both.
Charlie’s first year with a lollipop. Mom and dad were fans too.
Can’t forget the adorable parents!!
This just might be one of my all time favorites. That face, the lollipop and the sticky cheeks kill me!!We had our shoot right before halloween so we got the kiddos in their outfits. Which was good because I think they missed out on halloween because of Sandy…..
Charlie, the good witch.
I don’t think there was ever a more adorable little pumpkin.
The session wouldn’t be complete without some black velvet shots!!!Always a fun time with you guys!!
enjoy your slideshow!

Lucas & Alex, Philadelphia Moodybabies

Alex has gotten so big since I saw him last and this was my first time meeting Lucas. So much fun these kiddos!!!

We met up at the park and had some play time first.

This kid and that belly. Man, kill me with cuteness.
They had the best time of this big seasaw.
happy brothers!
Lucas likes to throw, catch and drop the ball while swinging. Ya know he’s a multitasker.
This was a day before the hurricane and we luckily got a lot of fall color.

Alex might have been a little excited for the lollipop.
What a nice brother to share!
Lucas might have been fine with just a leaf though….
Or wait…maybe not! haha!
After the park we had a little home time play.It was wonderful to see you guys again!! Thank you for a great morning!

Ryder (batman) 3 years old!!!

Ryder is getting so big. He is a gorgeous little boy and sure to be breaking hearts soon! I’m not sure if you’ll be able to tell or not but he is kind of into batman….

Plotting to save the city!
This kid never has any fun……Sword fights and wrestling with dad, totally not fun. 🙂
Superman and batman joining forces.
This kid has mad skills. He has his own bike.

Ryder is also part fish.
Even batman has his down moments.
Lollipops will restore any super hero! Guaranteed!So great to see you guys!

Maya & Roman, Moodybaby Please Touch Museum

One of my longest faithful clients, these guys get more adorable every year. Its always so crazy to watch these kids get so big year to year!
last years shoot
the year before that
Previous years were on the old blog…….

Maya and Roman have season passes to Please Touch and its one of their favorite places to go, so it seemed appropriate to do this years shoot there.

I did however introduce them to this secret hallway they never knew about!!! We had a ton of fun here.

Awe! You guys are too adorable.
Goofballs, have you seen any goofballs?
Roman is so strong!!!!And so is Maya!

You two, too adorable. Love you guys.
Both of these kids have mesmerizing eyes.
Rita’s, get your Rita’s!!!
And of course we have to end with my signature lollipops.  Plus I made and appearance by request, Katria handled my big ole camera very well I have to say!!Such a pleasure to see you guys again! I always enjoy our sessions.
See you next year!!!

Little Charlie welcomes baby brother Nicolas. Moodybaby and Belly Sessions

Rachel and Trevor were expecting a new arrival so it was time for another belly and baby shoot!  We did it for Charlie and so now it was baby brothers turn. If you want to stroll down memory lane here is Charlie’s baby session and his one year session. Its been wonderful watching this little guy known as “Tiny” grow!

Charlie at almost two!

I captured a little of this guy on real film with my traditional belly portrait way of things.
This has become our traditional shot for these guys. We did it when Charlie was in the belly and again during his baby session. Its been awesome to see the progress they have made on the kitchen with these in particular too.
Expecting little brother to fill these shoes soon!
Such a big boy, following his shadow.
Awe.

Right before he bit the dust.  Sorry Charlie. (he was fine.)
Picking the last of the tomatoes for the season.
So fast forward two weeks…… Rachel had baby Nicolas 5 days after our belly session! I then retuned when Nicolas was one week old for the baby shoot.
Charlie admiring his new baby brother.
One week on the job and he is already a great brother.
Sweet sweet little guy!
of course you can’t not also pay attention to this little man. 🙂 I love these next few with the blinds.

Trying to get Charlie to hold his brother alone, but he was a bit overwhelmed. He is using his hand signals for “all done”. Too cute.
The boys. (One mischievous one…….)
Baby Nicolas has been know as “Bun” Charlie was known as “Tiny”.  I love the matching tops.

So sweet.
Here is this years shot.This was Charlie’s baby shot.

Enjoy a combined belly and baby slideshow below!

Congratulations you guys! Its always great to see you.
